Well if it worked last time then we should deffo give that strategy another go

Correct if we had kept Lampard we would have been rock bottom. Dyche got the system working just enough to dig out just enough points, but even then it was very close and we stayed up by the skin of our teeth in spite of having no goalscorer /number nine available most of the time, even the last game we played with no full backs! I can't get behind any complacency given our decline over the last two seasons, the squad is badly imbalanced and lacking in goals, we need massive improvements to avoid going down.

It’s absolutely true that in 22 or 23 we’d have gone down with an inferior gk to Pickford. But that shouldn’t be the case and the question is how do we avoid that being the case in 24?
Sacrificing JP would be a risk but the only way to avoid being in the relegation fight next season is to add goals at the other end. If we can add 10-15 goals for that more than compensates for a few more goals against. Getting bailed out by a top class keeper isn’t a sustainable situation.

That makes sense and that will be the equation facing us without Pickford. We will still need to strengthen the defence in front of an inferior goalkeeper. And the key question remains: Have you seen any strikers mentioned who you think will score 10 goals a year for us? I couldn't say yes with any confidence
Only Prem clubs buying Holgate or Keane would probably a promoted one and Luton or Sheffield Utd not paying 70 grand a week, they would be lucky to get 30 grand in Championship . Everton just pay out silly money to anyone
We should sign players who have the bit between their teeth. Players with the bit between their teeth always seem to do well.
So....horses?
We’re more suited to donkeys.
One of the worst things about the club over recent years has been the utter lack of self respect we have when dealing with these clubs.
United have always been a club we have allowed to mess us around.
How we still deal with spurs after Sissoko/Danjuma is beyond me.

I think they should also have fire in their bellies and be prepared to run through brick walls. Failing that, anybody who can find a blue shirt with a five yard pass

47M for a guy with 12 months left on his deal is ludicrous but if they are after slow silky Portuguese midfielders over there then come on down Andre Gomes.

I am not sure on the answer but you are certainly correct that they need goals badly. Leicester let their goalie go and arguably the difference cost them a spot in the Premier League. I wish I had more confidence in the people spending the money.

I mean he is quality, but yeah. Mental.
Who realistically could we flog to Saudi? Gomes, Dele?
Gbamin?
Everyone going over is going for inflated fees, binning those three off to Saudi for a decent wedge could really, really help us.
