I love his attributes. I get the reticent approach from fans. My FM 12 save has a better transfer record than United.

But he looks mustard, is 6'4, and his record is decent. Strikers at a pretty premium at the moment. I'm invested in the idea.

I'm still more excited by the Cunha x Fernandes link up. But Mbeumo is an exceptional signing, and I've got that pep in my step again.

There's lots to be excited about now. The window about as good as it could have been given the clusterfuck last season (still need to sell and buy, but not holding my breath).

Mbeumo and Amad combining on one side is enough to make the heart sing. Will be interesting how Amorim sets it up.

Yeah, it's a fair point.

I also get the sense he is a football fan.

Imagine being the guy to lead United into a new era of success, having waded through all this shite.

It's not guaranteed, but he'd be feted for decades.

Fans care about status, and he has a unique opportunity to cement his.

I don't want to believe the Mbuemo news as it's surely too good to be true. But if we were to sign him, I'm ready to get hurt again.

Suddenly, that right side looks packed. Still need a GK, WB (2x?), CM, and ST such is the scale of rebuild.

This has been my gripe all season. They just look like they don't know the basics. 10 yard passes are bobbling all over. Poor first touches. And fouling in areas of the pitch that you're coached out of when young. Moronic.

I don't want to see him again. Fills me with anxiety. Embarrassing.

And that was really, really shite.

OK fair enough that was good.

One thing I will say, Dalot has actually played well. Nice surprise. Maybe his customary one in 200 7.5/10 performances.
