This is also aimed at those with the same mind set who agrees with you. Thinking along these lines shows how much lack of faith and even disrespect you have to our current players including the new acquisitions. I know we didnt get a striker (which I too wanted) that would have strengthen us, but it is not the be all and end all. To think that we now are going to be dumped out of the CL, little chance of the FA cup and now wont be able to challenge Chelsea for 4th spot is pathetic.
Even Chelsea and Manu didnt get the quality striker that we wanted. From the outset JM had said that clubs are unlikely to get the chosen targets because their respective clubs are unlikely to release them mid campaign. In other words its other clubs' deadwood that would be available. So unless he was going to get a bargain JM didnt want to pay over the odds for a players he thought were risky and in the case of Girould, everything was agreed with the him and the Chelsea management, but it was that c*** Lampard who (spitefully imo) pulled the plug. If JM had paid over the odds and got these players and it didnt work, we would have been left with more deadwood, and again Levy would have been blamed.
The issue is Chelsea already have three strikers in TA, MB and OG.
United have Greenwood and Martial and actively seeking a striker in the last few hours.
We’re plugging a major hole that our best player occupied with wide forwards who are unable to play in a Jose team long term. It’s hard not to be pessimistic when we haven’t exactly scored a load of goals since Kane’s injury.
Of course it’s not the be all and end all but an out and out striker to replace Kane has been needed for quite some time. The club are solely to blame for not bringing in anyone and not only in this window.
