Its unlikely but I would be asking questions of Ramos maybe even a dry loan?

In reality, Martial has to be discussed being a bosman and Jonathon David and Dybala the following year.
None of these should be on our radar. We missed out on Dybala, don't want him anymore.

Martial I loved when he came to United but he never played to his potential.

There will be other players. Our calibur of a club should be looking into Zirkzee if possible

Zirkzee offers almost everything we lack in attack imo. Would be the perfect 3th striker. If there was a slight possibility we could add Taremi and Zirkzee to our attack, damn!

Not gonna happen tho. Zirkzee will cost 50 mln. Which we don’t have.

We should be looking for he likes of Zirkzee BEFORE their price double up or more. Kinda like the way we bought Bisseck. We should aim for more deals like this.
Yeah but it's not easy. As soon as at least two clubs are asking for a player, the price starts going up. There are at least 10 clubs in Europe that have more money than Inter to spend most summers and about 20 other clubs that have great scouting. If we were a bit more aware, we could've gotten him straight from Bayern, but we didn't.

On the other hand, we "found" Lautaro and brought him here. He wasn't cheap, but looking at it now, 22mil (or whatever the price was) is not a lot for him.

The only way to get Zirkzee is to sell Lautaro for huge money. Even then, I'm not sure that Marotta will spend 50+ mln for one player

Like I said before I would be up for selling Thuram for huge money if that means Zirkzee coming + at least 50 more million that could be spent elsewhere.

If not, I'd rather not risk it.

As the saying goes if it ain’t broken don’t fix it.

We know Lautaro and Thuram works together, there no guarantee the same will apply for Zirkzee, while he looked good this season it would be some expensive trade.

Also there just no way our owner would allow such an expensive purchase even if we sold Lautaro

we need more than 2 strikers to be champions or do well in champions league.

we had Dzeko, Lautaro and Lukaku last season.

This year we have Lautaro playing out of his mind and THuram being decent. Our other 2 strikers have like 4-5 goals between them in over 35-40 games. That is not good.

We don’t have any cash… so we can’t buy anyone. It requires someone is sold this is the consequence of our financial situation.

Zirkzee reminds me so much of Fellaini :lol:

Florian Plettenberg says that we are interested in Zirkzee, just like AC Milan and Juve. Although I would like to see Zirkzee play for us, I don't see how we can afford him without Thuram or Lautaro leaving. How reliable is this Plettenberg? He has quite a lot followers.

He's a German Romano wannabe. He's reliable for Bayern but not so much for others. Zirkzee is probably on our list but nothing is going to happen without a Lautaro or Thuram sale.

Wasn't it Plettenberg who insisted Bayern isn't going to sell Pavard to us?

It was. And at the time it didn't look like they would. They even sent Stanisic on loan. But in the end Pavard forced their hand and left them no other option.

Lautato and Arnautovic will stay for sure next season. Thuram seems to enjoy his time here and might want to build a legacy here but we'll never know. I hope we get another striker and not Sanchez staying. Ben yedder will be out of contract this season, wondering why we aren't going after him and promote him to be our fourth striker?

He has rape charges.

Bad signing. We don’t need his profile. We need a fast and direct player. + He seems lazy off the ball.

This is the club that paid full price for Correa. At least Zirkzee can really ball. Imagine him with Thuram or with Lautaro, counterattacks would be lethal as fuck

I agree with you, but the first sentence...I don't get why this argument is so popular. "We stupidly throw 1x amount on one crap so 2x on another is not that stupid" (?!?)
(not on Zirkzee in particular, but every time we are linked to an expensive)

Unless you mean we are so rich that such money is no problem (obviously not lol)
