De Gea’s contract is up in summer, and likely won’t be extended. So United will need a goalkeeper this summer.
They might have other GK targets, but don’t be shocked if they go for Emi.
This makes it even more of a priority that we sign a striker who can finish.
If we don't create a lot, then we need someone who can put away the limited chances we create.
So, we either create more chances for Ollie, or sign someone who will put away the limited chances we do create.
The idea in principle is good, but we already have the Champions League.
Do we really need to see Real Madrid or PSG batter some team from New Zealand?
I think Qatar WC has been pretty decent footballing wise so far.
And this already is happening, it was supposed to happen in 2021 but was postponed because of covid.
I can see the League Cup ending. Or possibly changing to feature teams not in European competition, which would make it a glorified Papa John's Trophy.
I see we are linked with Terem Moffi. I have never heard of him until just now, but I have just watched a 5-minute YouTube video of him and am convinced he's the next Benteke. Sign him up.
The fact that we are constantly linked with strikers, even if they don't amount to anything tells me that we are after a striker as a number one priority. Oliie certainly won't help his cause by missing so many chances.
If we can't get Thuram, what about Moussa Dembele?
Had a good season last year with Lyon scoring 22 goals and 5 assists in 36 games, his contract is also running out in June 2023 so would be relatively cheap and is only 26.
Emery does like a more defensive RB and a more progressive LB. At Villarreal he used Juan Foyth at RB, who is not really an attacking full back. Perhaps when Carlos is back Konsa could play there in a similar role.
