I know you'd have Griezmann, but he's not really a lone striker, is he?

To me, I'd get one of Griezmann or Rodriguez, and buy Lukaku, or someone of the same ilk.

James signing doesnt really excite me one bit. I hope we dont too. Id play greizmann in that number 10

Wouldn't want to play in a defence behind that lot....
Where's the destroyer?

For what he's gonna cost, I wouldn't take greizman.

Agree on James though. Good player. Just unseeded.

Would love United to spunk millions on James

I thought we were signing Lukaku?

We won't sign James and Griezmann.

he has a daughter

I can't see Jose going for that line up. There's no Lingard for a start...

For me personally, the only player I would love to sign right now is a young striker, who knows where the back of the net is. For me, that's Lukaku.

Think he's off to Chelsea

Reckon there's a very high chance we'll get both. Griezmann is a no brainer and James seems destined to join us now.

Time will tell I guess. I am certain Jose wants to transform our attack

I just can't see us signing both. And I hope we don't. It's a lot of money for two players that don't fix our problems.

If we sign both players, I'll eat my entire hat collection.

Destined to sign Rodriguez, why?

Lots of noise coming from his camp that he's coming

Probably in a swap deal (with cash) for ddg

Sky bet have us down at 1/2 to get him for what it's worth

You'll have to change manager if you want excitement

What we need most is a Cm to partner Pogba and Herrera. And a back up.
A cb to partner baily.
A striker who will guarantee 30 a season and win us games against lesser sides.
And some full backs who can actually attack with some form of precision.

Not far wrong there, Stretty. We need goals from the wing also. I don't think Martial will be here next season either.

We'll likely bring in one or both of Keane and Lindelof in defence. Ideally Mendy too but Jose might give the Shaw/Darmian option one more season

In CM there really aren't many available options which is why he might be signing Carrick again for another season

On the wings, I bet he wants William but I don't think Chelsea will sell.

If we bring in Griezmann and James, the latter not being a personal favourite, but I've hardly seen him.

If he's a faster, better version of Mata, I'd take him.


We can't do worse than this season

I think he (James) would offer us more in this system than Mata would tbh

Mata IS fashion

James can't be slower

And he's definitely got an eye for a pass. Probably a better shot than Mata

Nah because James has more pace, can dribble and is a better passer of the ball.

This doesn't always translate into performances, though. And Mata has proven himself to be a very good premier league player.

I'm still not convinced about James being the right fit for us, though, despite being a quality player.
