United played their hand. No world class strikers available so whos next?
I have no confidence that Cavani would have solved our problems. He seems like the ultimate hot and cold player and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he didn't have the balls for this league. Not really bothered we didn't chase him. But there seems to be a theory going around that the fans were responsible for identifying targets that could have solved our problems and were obtainable. For me that is the job of the experienced manager and his gang of experienced assistants and scouts. It's like - well YOU, Joe Bloggs on the Internet, couldn't name a SINGLE PLAYER! And the conclusion - so how could you expect those experts who live and breathe football to do it?Quote:

To call you out as the biggest WUM on here.Quote:

Welbeck is injured and he's not being trusted up front either....it doesn't look like he trusts his strike force at all. But he doesn't want to pay for another striker he's unsure of so he's putting the weight on our midfield for goals.Quote:

Oh yes, I remember now, you already said the last 10 seasons on which he could and should have been judged are now LESS RELEVANT.Quote:

Nah. You know what I said.Quote:

Merse. :bow:Quote:

Now, I realise it's not like going down Sainsbury's and buying bananas, which do grow on trees, but that's why Wenger gets the big bucks (I forget exactly how much he gets paid as no-one ever mentions it on here).
But yeah, I seriously doubt, deep down, he thinks Giroud and Welbeck are good enough to win you the title. Maybe he thinks we have enough goals in midfield and maybe he's right, in theory Ramsey and Sanchez should be able to get us goals, Walcott too. There's been little evidence of that so far but it is early days and we all know we're capable of better. Whether it's good enough...well, we'll see.
