Should Man Utd sign Jonathan David? 🤔
Kolo-Muani and Nmecha are realistic targets.
People talking about Osimhen are deluded. No way he'll leave Napoli in Jan.
No thanks get GAKPO
Nah, can't see it. Ten Hag does have a Dutch fixation. It probably will be Gakpo.
As a United and Canada fan, I’m not sure he’s the one… as much as I want him to be.
You are spot on about Jonathon David. He's not a striker and for some reason his current club and his national team don't realise it. His g/a at RW per 90 is much better than they are upfront for Canada. Its even the same on the left. But the best I've ever seen David is when he played as a second striker at Genk behind two strikers. He'd be so much better if he wasn't forced to play as a 9, it frustrates me seeing him play there. If Bruno was to go he'd be the perfect replacement.
I believe Kylian Mbappe can play as a sole 9 though. He's done it plenty of times and has bagged big goals plenty of times playing there. But David can't do it as a lone 9 and his potential is being wasted by the coaches misprofiling him.
Canada have a really good 3 behind a striker. Davies LW David CAM Buchanon RW. But they really need someone to lead the line and rn they got no one to
This guy is more of Martial's replacement (or to provide competition). If we're to replace CR7, we need good goalscorer like Vlahovic or someone similar like him
Big fan of J. David but can we start the conversation with "who's available in Jan?" We might have to get a stop gap and look again in summer. Charlie McNeill get your ass moving sir
keefer moore would be my pick he has the same attributes of david plus the physicality to bully anyone while also being a person who can change his movement based where the ball is
I'd rather go for Lautaro Martinez if we're looking for a player with this profile
imo, for short term/January option: Gakpo, Toney
long term/summer transfer: Lautaro Martinez
He was awful for Canada. If we’re even interested in him, sack all of our scouts. If Canada had a half decent striker they’d have beat Belgium. Simple as that
No. And neither should Osimhen. ETH clearly wants a striker with excellent link up play, the ability to hold up the ball, counterpress when needed and of course a goal scorer. He's even said this in interviews about Ronaldo/Marital (coming deep etc).
The ideal player IMO would be Kane as he is exceptional at this, but failing that Gakpo has all the attributes both technical and physical to do this role too.
Helllll Nooooo!!!!
I’d like to see someone like Taremi come in in January and then get someone younger in the summer
Ben Yedder for 15m in January. Osimhen in the summer
Who is this fool Jonathan David?
Very few options I've seen linked seem to actual profile as an actual CF. Gakpo, as an example, is a very good player, but he's closer to Rashford than what we actually need.
He looks a good option but his finishing is suspect sometimes. This is evident at the world cup too; although all his other attributes are perfect for united
