Hahaha I couldn’t think of a worse player to complement Kane and Son. Selfish, headless chicken
Don’t get me wrong, he would shine at somewhere like Woolwich who have zero attacking goal threat but we have a structured system with existing world class attackers…. I’ve not seen him even pass to Kane for Eng, let alone tandem like Kane, Don and Kulu do
Plus he earns almost twice what Kane and Son earn
Five subs next season. He would add a lot off the bench for 15 mins whether winning or chasing.
I think we're better off sticking with Emerson and Doherty than replacing them with any of these players.
Unless we're getting proven quality in that position, it's not worth it. I would hate it if we sold Emerson off and replaced him with someone with a few fancy ball skills but can't defend. Wing-back is a defensive position and defensive attributes should be the first consideration.
Gareth Bale was originally signed as a full-back but despite his obvious talent on the ball he took a couple of seasons to establish himself in the team and he certainly didn't succeed because of his defensive qualities. My assessment of Spence is along similar lines. He is still a player in development and may find that his attacking talents supersede his defensive ones and will therefore be no good to us as a wing back.
If the aim is to build a team that can compete for the League and the Champions League, we need wing backs who can defend. If their attacking qualities are deficient, they focus on getting the ball to the players who can attack (as Emerson has been doing).
According to Fabrizo, it looks as if Man Utd's preferred CB targets are Jurrien Timber & Pau Torres. And they've already got Lindelöf, Maguire and Varane, but it looks as if they're yet again going to spend a small fortune on CB's (well, Timber can also play RB).
I personally prefer the real thing and not implants...Yeh, shes sound... but...
Hopefully, either way hope the Conte factor gives us the edge when it comes to Bastoni
Since when did 'preparing a bid' make you more credible??
We've prepared LOADS of bids, and still missed out!
I think we're about to find out this Summer what has more pull:
The allure of playing CL,
or playing for the Man Utd 'name' still!!
BTW... I'd LOVE to sign 'TIMBER' just so we can all shout it like lumberjacks every time he falls over!
he won't come to be a back-up striker
You'd sincerely hope so.... He's gonna have to do a lot of running under Conte!!
Should be all over this
So why bother signing anyone?
Conte want's fullbacks who attack, that what part of his gameplay is built on. Doherty is a Conte type fullback, why would we sign another Emerson type, makes no sense. I don't disagree that the fullback needs to be able to defend also and Conte will look for this in who he signs, but he will want someone who will be part of the attacking unit creating and also scoring goals.
Absolute Minimum £200 k a week for 15 mins every now and then... has his own ideas when he trains....
Rightohh... his day has gone.
My educated guess is he wants to get to the world cup if wales qualify before a full scale tilt on being the first pro golfer with a ponytail.
Sorry but can people stop fucking posting 'should be all over this' every time a random player is linked to a random club.
Seen it about a dozen times in the last two days and it's fucking annoying. We cannot sign everyone for fuck sake!

We Can't? 78 incomings. How the fuck can we expect to win the quadruple unless we sign everyone.
I think every signing under Conte will be a Conte signing. I don't think even Levy dares to upset Conte by signing a player Conte hasn't specifically told he wants...
