Scored 11 goals last year. There's goals in this boy as well. Not just a bloke who stands there and does his job. He's exactly what we need. Hope it comes off.

Serious question - how do we get Fabinho, Herrera, Pogba and Greizmann into the same side, without playing Griezmann as lone striker (because he won't)?
Is Greizmann destined to be our winger, is herrera going to lose his place, will we swap formation? Or will we simply rotate Fabinho in for tougher games (4:3:3 with AG on the wing), and play Griezmann as a second striker in the easier games?
Just wondering what our honest to god strongest 11 is if AG and Fabinho both come off? Again, without having AG as a mourinho lone striker

I'd say they are definitely different options for the same role. No idea which one is higher preference though.
Why is this thread so active? Has something new happened? Time for a threadmark?
He's almost certainly City bound I think. I'd love to have him here, which is something I hate saying about likely signings of City 
but I don't see it happening. I think our best option is Matic if Chelsea decide to cash in.
but I don't see it happening. I think our best option is Matic if Chelsea decide to cash in.Most were pens TBH, but he does have a good shot also.
Fabinho is the same height as Carrick, so it'd be the same if we ever played Carrick-Pogba-Fellaini this season.
Not happening for city according to Sammy lee, a city itk.
If we sign Fabinho, a good left back and Griezmann we will challenge next season.
Think either 9 or 10 of those were penalties.
I'm not really that keen on him and I was watching Monaco most of the season think you could get much better for much less than the 40mil supposed asking price. Although I did see we were thinking 25mil. It depends how Jose intends to play. Bakayoko is a poor mans Pogba but then he could probably do a job sitting in a 2 with Pogba just defending. He's more athletic and stronger than Fabinho and not are probably similar in defensive ability. It's just a case of could Jose make him sit.
He's scored a screamer or two but he's their main Pen taker.

9 of those were penalties though. Not really a sign of somebody you'd rely on to bag goals.
I will be over the moon if we end up signing Fabinho. I rate him highly and I think he would be a perfect fit in our team.
Keane
Fabinho
Perisic
Griezmann
Happy with that window or would we need a striker?

Caf mood is much like the weather here in Iceland, changes every 5 min... Look the sun is out ...
We'd definitely need a striker to help release some of the goal scoring burden off Griezmann and Rashford. Ibra could contribute to that if he sticks around for the latter half of next year, but imo, we could do with a low cost player like Chicharito to help the cause.
Need a winger surely.
Yaay, that's useful
Which Perisic is?
He's almost certainly City bound I think. I'd love to have him here, which is something I hate saying about likely signings of City
Rashford
Mkhitaryan - Griezmann
Pogba - Fabinho - Herrera
With Mkhitaryan and Griezmann having overlapping fullbacks to provide the width when they operate as inside forwards.Mkhitaryan - Griezmann
Pogba - Fabinho - Herrera
That's my guess.
Sorry. Meant another.
If we are to sign Griezmann, Perisic et. al, i think it is likely that one of Martial/Mata/Mkh will leave the club.
Would also add Belotti and that seems our most likely business.
Unless Jose trusts Rashford to be our new No.9 and expect Zlatan to come back in January for us.
So Fabinho would drop back to form a back 3 which would release our fullbacks up the flanks?
I think that's probably what would be best - just have a horrible feeling it means herrera getting dropped
If Zlatan stays, I would be more than happy with this. If not, I'd say we'll need another striker.
Better try for lukaku than belotti. He is epl proven whereas belotti just had a breakout season.Would also add Belotti and that seems our most likely business.

Needs a left back.
Do we not need a new CB?
A lot more aggressive than Carrick too. Which we need
Would prefer Lukaku myself, I know some on here don't rate him and think he's one dimensional but the boy scores when he wants. He also fits the mold of a Mourinho striker, big and physical.
That might actually be accurate, given it's been pissing it down for days
We aren't likely to break the bank on Lukaku after already having done so on Griezmann in the same summer.
Reading all the posts on here for the last page or two I've still no idea why this has blown up to why we're signing him...block it till we get some proper news or update the title perhaps as it's gone fubar!!
Good bump yesterday, ay
