Breel Embolo Moves To Schalke

[stevenurse]

Well, this is shit.

Why? I don't get when people say this. Yes he could have been a very good player to sign but doesnt mean there arent others. No point in worrying about other sides signings. We just need to worry about what we are doing. Id suggest that the Dutch league us more demanding than the Swiss and for someone 2 years older in Janssen I wouldn't be disappointed

Wow, Embolo and Martial at United. That's scary.

Wow, Embolo and Martial at United. That's scary.

And Zlatan & Rooney & Rashford.

How the hell is that gonna work? I'd imagine Zlatan is one of those who MUST play? Can see Rashford regretting signing that new contract.

Yeah, my immediate thought:

------------- Zlatan -------------
Martial --- Rooney --- Embolo

 

[lennonslaces]

We'll get a chance to have a good look at them on Thursday nights

 

[Nigel Spinal]

Yeah, my immediate thought:

------------- Zlatan -------------
Martial --- Rooney --- Embolo

------------------- Zlatan -------------
--------------- Rooney
Blind-Schweinsteiger-Carrick-Fellaini

Remember this is Mourinho. He doesn't really do young players

 

[SpartanSpur]

Embolo is a weird signing for Utd, but another case of a top club not being afraid to speculate on forwards. It's also why I feel myself and others are perfectly sane to think that bringing two strikers in this window is a good option.

 

[voxy28]

Embolo to MU means Rooney gone? Else how to accommodate Ibra?

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Well 1 down 3 to go. We get any two of Janssen, Lacazette or Batshuayi who cares about anything else from other clubs. Our depth up top will be insane.

 

[wiggo24]

God, I hate United.

Embolo is pretty damn good off the right as well.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Yeah, my immediate thought:

------------- Zlatan -------------
Martial --- Rooney --- Embolo

Makes sense, Rooney can make it a 4-3-3 pretty easily also. Also explains why they are the market for top quality CM/DMs, Pogba and Matic have been mentioned. Not sure they'll get them too though. Would be weird looking at a Jose team and thinking attacking was the strongest area but that is shaping up that way.

 

[Shea]

Seems like a good signing for an excellent price in this current market

Would appear to have been a perfect signing for us but we still can't compete with the very biggest teams for these players

On to the next one, there are always hidden gems to be found (as the likes of Leicester and Southampton have illustrated in recent years)

 

[Larryjanta]

I'd be concentrating on a new Keeper if I was Man United!

 

[yankspurs]

Fucking Mourinho. But we all knew this would happen. They have loads to spend. Also, Rooney will likely be off this summer I think. His testimonial will be his swan song I think. Ibra, Martial, Embolo is a great strike force. Im not including Rashford because I have zero confidence Mourinho will keep him this summer. He'll loan him out.

That's them sorted for the next dozen years or so....

Mourinho tried to sign Rooney for Chelsea. He's also 5 goals from being United's record goalscorer. No chance he goes imo.

 

[topper]

Has he actually signed for Utd?

 

[danielneeds]

Got to say that Martial, Embolo and Rashford is probably the most exciting young forward line in Europe - and with Zlatan and Rooney to school them they look in pretty good shape.

 

[topper]

Has he actually signed for Utd?

No he hasn't yet Topper old boy!
Ta very much Topper!
