Seen as the focus is on strikers at the moment who would everyone want to replace Costa? I'd love Griezmann to join but I want to see him play RW and cut in like Robben use to do for us.

Forgot to say who I wanted. Mine would be Aubameyang.

02 Dec 2015 19:32:24
Like you I don't see Griezmann as a direct replacement for Costa; but he is defo a signing I'd like to see.

I'd look to bring Lukaku back (like Matic) to replace Costa - and I do think Costa defo needs to go.

{Ed002's Note - There is zero chance of Lukaku being allowed anywhere near the club ever again.}

I'd love Alvaro Morata but I'm almost certain he'll be back in the all white of real next year with Benzema's quagmire.

03 Dec 2015 07:51:38
Ah! Aubameyang then!

03 Dec 2015 20:23:08
Aubameyang would be perfect addition to the squad the plays on counterattack. Chelsea under Mourinho is that kind of club. I can't imagine him at MU.

What are people's thoughts on the new stadium? My first impression was that it was a bit odd but it's starting to grow on me now.

02 Dec 2015 21:00:00
I don't see what you find odd about it. the club clearly need a bigger stadium to get to the next level and they are probably losing out on millions a year by having a small stadium.

02 Dec 2015 21:18:41
I'm talking about the aesthetics of the building. I agree entirely with the concept of enlarging the stadium and the benefits this entails.

I'm a huge fan of Jose but I find it bemusing that so many players leave Chelsea and go on to be better players. De bruyne, lukaku, Bertrand to name a few. Even david luiz looked a better player when we played psg last season. These are all players that I believe where either not given a chance or in david luiz case not used as he should of been. Luiz was outstanding when in midfield and would of made an excellent pairing with matic. In lukaku and de bruyne case they where just two players who believed in their ability and wanted to play.

Imagine. Starting 11 of
Lukaku
Hazard debryne Willian
Matic (Luis) Ramires
AZi zouma Terry Bertrand

(Mata ) Ramires Sturridge Oscar coming off bench

We didn't need Fabergas Costa Rahman Pedro if we had all of these players! we sold players to get older players! sorry but even if we just sold Luiz and mata and kept Debryne Bertrand and Lukaku we would have been way better off sucks to see all our old players play the way they do! Fabergas needs to go Ivanovic needs to go Oscar needs to go and we need a striker who is hungry for the goal like cavani.

Whilst I'm disappointed that Bertrand wasn't given more of an opportunity, I am not too bothered about the sales of Lukaku, Luiz or De Bruyne. All very good players obviously but Lukaku wasn't prepared to battle for his place, neither was De Bruyne and PSG offered too much money for Luiz so we'd of been silly to reject it! I trust Mourinho on what he says and does and I didn't hear any of you complaining last year when we won the title easily!

02 Dec 2015 15:43:45
To tell you truth I am only sad that mata was sold, thw guy loved our club and we loved him! Even though others have become great players they didn't want to stay with us.

02 Dec 2015 21:03:34
How you could not see David Luiz is a bad player is beyond me dos you not watch the World Cup mate we just got 50 million for him and he had an absolute horror show over der never mind what Barcelona did to him last year in cl he is an appaling centre half and I think he doesn't have he dicipline to play in defensive mid still love the guy do great passer and good man to get a long ranger more poor than good with him do best buisness the club will ever do.

03 Dec 2015 05:11:46
We rehash this same argument 4 times a year and I remain steadfast that 90% of the time the sale was met with responses of "great business by the club" on this very site. As LRD also pointed out, many of these players initiated their exits.

03 Dec 2015 06:24:15
Agree about Mata, was devastated when he left us.
