I mean, I dont get why whether a young striker who has been continiously injured for years and who hasnt even been under first consideration is loaned out or not, affects whether we should sign someone to improve the first team. But there you go.

I said if Leonard wasn't going to be first team and loan out then we needed a striker in.

What utterly bizarre logic. Why not replace him if hes turned out to be a dud?

Doesnt fit the narrative as much though.

Reportedly bidding for a striker. Which is why you have reverted back to thinking that we need one. We need a striker, goalkeeper and midfielder.

But Ismael said it was one in (winger) and then others would be replacements. This was said BEFORE Beradji came in so he must be a replacement for Trav. So maybe Ismael was stretching the truth Chaddy. You know how much you dislike a manager who isn’t 100% truthful with you!!

No, the opposite - he makes a point of saying 'I can't take any credit for him, other than involving him in first team training', more than once.

United choose this head coach for a reasons. Would I have pick him? No I wouldn't. They now made their bed, lie in it.

This is getting as bad as that famous "What do you think Vinjay looks like?" thread.

It will come from club not his opinion Baradji was always coming. Rovers chased him all summer. Ismael and Gestede always wanted him. Who is a tiny wage? Given we are bidding for Striker currently looks like we want one

Well, at the moment, his salary is £0.

Won’t happen in a million years. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Has he said several clubs? In which case, seems like a good story that never actually has to come true to provoke interest.

Blackburn are one of several clubs interested in Browne. Won't happen. We only sign players when we're the only club in for them.

Me too, don't know why but this one has flop written all over it, just my gut feel

Would take Browne every day, but cant see it for a second. Shouldnt be the priority, a striker should. But would really improve the midfield if it was somehow aswell as.

That would upset the nob ends wouldnt it? 🤣🤣🤣

Some of his yellows are unjust, BigMac has had games where he is constantly mugged without even fouls called only to get a yellow immediately when he returns the favour. Same with Ohashi. Why?

Can’t share the link as he’s blocked me, but Nixon is linking us with ex-Preston midfielder Alan Browne…

Alan Browne linked by Nixon. Would be a heck of a signing that - significant champ experience.

I hope so. We definitely need a striker and a goalkeeper. We also need a midfielder IMO. Thats before factoring in any potential sale of Hyam, which cannot be allowed to happen. Ismael I presume will confirm if there is any hope of adding further in his press conference tomorrow.

I think we may sign 3 more. Obviously there may also be more outgoings - potentially Pears, Hyam, Leonard maybe even Gueye. Ismael constantly referenced just one position more (right wing) when asked. When he elaborated about incomings/outgoings, he always talked in the plural. I think he is definitely hoping to get more players out and in before Monday.

Is Baradji fit to play do we know?

Did he specifically claim credit for giving him his debut? I will listen tomorrow.

I am not asking for Elliott Jackson's opinion. He said 1 in 1 out beside a winger, before Baradji came in and before Travis and Buckley left. So surely that means 1 in based on that logic. As I said, I have always said that we need a striker, I dont base my opinion on parroting what is said by Ismael. We needed one regardless of whether our injury prone striker training with the under 21s on a tiny wage stays or goes. I fear that tomorrow may be a day where any hope of a new striker is dashed by Ismael. I hope to be wrong. It would be the second change of heart from a mixed up club on signing a striker, but its needed.
