If we go into the season with Richy and son as our striker options we are pretty much giving up. I’d sell Richy now. If he can’t even get himself fit for the first friendly of the season we’ve got real problems. Just get Toney or whoever in and be done with it.

Gyokeres you know
All the silence around him moving from earlier in the window seems to have vanished which did make me a bit suspicious. However, he’s only done it in Portugal and the championship.
He's a good player.
We aren't signing him. Sporting are a nightmare to deal with as proven by the Porro deal too. So unless we pay the 85m release clause or whatever it is, even less chance.
I'dve taken Zirkzee. And definitely Yoro as well. Look at Woolwich and Villa as well. Both are looking to improve their squads. Meanwhile we buying to improve our squad in 3 or 4 years time. That and we make Timo Werner one of the top 5 highest earning players in the club. How will we keep VDV, Romero, Udogie and Porro?
Buying 18 year olds, sending them out on loan for a year or two, and integrating them into the first team for another 2-3 years (Until they reach their peak), doesn't build a team. It's aim is to just boost coffers. We all know Levy won't pay the youngsters salaries other teams do, so he'll just ship them out. And 'The Rebuild' starts again.
Don't even mention that Levy has a 30 story hotel going up that will be able to aid the team financially in a few years. Look what new stadium charges has brought our team. Absolutely nothing.

So you're moaning about us signing 18 year olds.
Yet laud others for doing the same?
Who have Woolwich improved their squad with?
I need to see more of him, but I think Archie Gray can improve the starting lineup.
Sorry but you're contradicting yourself, you're saying buying 18 year olds is the wrong move but you want us to be in for Leny Yoro, who is... 18? Zirkzee is bang fucking average btw, he doesn't put up scary numbers by any stretch of the imagination and it's little surprise that United have a completely free run at him, that isn't down to the fact that other clubs don't feel they can compete with United for his signature; they simply don't want to. For the money touted Zirkzee is not worth it.
Anyway, I don't think age is a barrier if the player is good enough, certainly Gray didn't let being 17 going on 18 get in the way of starting basically every game last season for Leeds in the championship, hasn't stopped Bergvall turning out for Djurgarden and being capped for Sweden, I think our midfield has definitely improved for depth if nothing else unequivocally if we can avoid having to play the likes of PEH anymore.
I cannot see us spending the money on Gyokeres. As much as I like him and think stylistically he’s the closest thing to Kane that’s out there, over 60m is a huge risk.
Personally think we’ll try for Toney right at the end of the window when Brentford will be getting twitchy about losing him for nothing. If we can get hin for £40m or so, it’s a good deal. Particularly with our HG issues.

The only player Woolwich have signed is Raya, who was there on loan last season.
Villa have sold one of their best players and which one of their signings would you take over Gray?
Why on earth wouldn’t we pay the release? We banked 100M for Kane
Bless. You must be new here.
I've been thinking that Bryan Gil would make an outstanding CB in Ange's system
I'm curious to see it happen , what do you reckon?
Why would Sporting sell him in a cut-price deal???
All these wannabe ITK's
How the fuck can richy be struggling already. He didn’t get a serious injury,has had all summer off and with what Ange said last night he’s still a bit away from being fit. Get rid of if we can.
Being serious
It’s fuck all for a decent striker, utd wanked that on Hollund
WE HAVE MONEY!!!
He’s a fucking joke
Good player when fit. He’s been fully fit for c.10% of the games. He should be at his peak and the niggles will only get worse, would take 20M
Get out
It's a shit ton of profit for Sporting
