Mourinho confirms we'll be going back into the market for a new striker:
-

“We thought the market was closed for us but, if Nando opened that market, we would have to go into it again. We would try to make the best possible deal.”

“We’ll react by buying a foreign striker because I don’t see an English striker in the market that would come to us, or where his club would let him. If we lose a foreign striker, we need another foreign striker.”

So from Eto'o, Ba, Torres

To Costa, Remy, Drogba.

Pretty damn good improvement.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:09 am

And for a profit rofl

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:13 am

Well, not in that area, but overall, yes.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:18 am

Yes, I mean overall in the window. Part of our business as a whole has seen us shift 3 near useless strikers for a superb trio of ones at no net cost at all, including pulling off the impossible in flogging off cancerous Torrwretch.

Couldn't have gone any better, really.

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:22 am

In reality, probably not.

In fantasy, I'd like another CM, Khedira for Ramires but that won't happen.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:28 am

I just meant strictly in terms of the striker situation.

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:31 am

Oh, in that respect. Yes, perfect summer.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:32 am

Especially after the shambles we made of it last summer.

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 2:41 am

Yes, glad we learned.

Mourinho on our strikeforce this season:

"We had a good group of strikers last season, but we changed three for three and we believe that these three give us more, in relation to the football we want to play."

31 shots tonight. 2 goals.

José says he doesn't expect either of Remy or Costa to be fit for United at the weekend...

Not good

Drogba clearly isn't good enough.

by Shed Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:14 pm

You'd have to question why he'd leave a 37-year-old on for 90 mins having known in all likelihood Remy was going to be out for awhile the moment he came off.

Perhaps he's bullshitting and Diegod is closer to returning than he's letting on?

by Kick Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:16 pm

We can only hope.

An injured Costa is probably better than Drogba.

by Shed Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:18 pm

Or a repeat of last year.....Schurrle up front Assesing our Attack - Page 6 91250887662

Lets hope not!

by Shed Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:21 pm

Yes, that most certainly was a nightmare.

by Kick Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:23 pm

Can only hope that One of Remy or Costa is fit enough.

by Shed Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:25 pm

Remy seems unlikely.

Costa, I'm hoping Jose is strategically making it out to be worse than it is hoping to throw them off

by Kick Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:30 pm

Remy may only have a minor injury. It's too soon to tell with it. It didn't look good though.

by Shed Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:31 pm

Mou was talking about muscular injuries in his post-match presser and their usually taking "weeks" to return to fitness from.

Unlikely, I'd think.

by Kick Tue Oct 21, 2014 10:33 pm

I wouldn't be surprised but I still think it's too soon to really tell the extent of it.
