These kind of stats and numbers on strikers are a bit silly, they all play in different teams and in different leagues. Can’t really compare players like that.

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Finishing stats, positioning, and press stats are the only ones that are critical at this time

[@jameshewat4700]

Stats = let’s buy another over-priced striker who can’t score goals.

[@Account_CB]

Regardless of which striker we end up with (noting we have zero control over who is signed), we absolutely MUST SOLVE the issue of service & creation... To me Ineos do not appear to feel this is an area of concern (alarming), it appears they only want a forward option. Out of all options being linked Zirkzee gives another creative option not necessarily just a striker so he probably would help the service problem....if we fail to sign him...then we end up going for a strikers that rely on service & then we'll have no improvement. We still have Rashford & Anthony that do not create/cross...Garnacho is still developing & doesn't always make the correct last pass....so service needs to be solved & to be honest that's been an issue that pre-dates ETH!! abit like the CDM issue

[@ois9]

A bit like ALL our issues to be fair. He’s only to blame for the goalkeeping mess.

[@Account_CB]

very true!

[@jameshewat4700]

Great comment

[@shaunhowlett130]

Harland would never get the ball at united without massive midfield changes

[@craigdoyle8183]

Who is harland

[@jamp2770]

Lol, Ivan Toney last season returned from a ban halfway through the season, after not playing football for 8 months. A bit silly to compare his stats from last season.

[@LyleWares]

Exactly glad someone said it

[@Mia-eat62]

Zirkzee can make United a different team.

[@jameshewat4700]

Yes, a relegation team.

[@johnlindell5024]

I follow bologna and have wished he came to United. And now he’s coming!! Technical and big! Calm and cool. MVP in serie A last season! I’m Soo excited 😁🔥

[@reesemorgan2259]

I'll take your word for it😀..... hope he fits in well!

[@espenkaligrebrof9682]

He looks good! :)

[@ninjabiscuit1095]

I watched Bologna play Napoli when I was on holiday in Naples a few months ago, Zirkzee really stood out with his power and physicality, definitely think he'd be a solid signing

[@Sam79782]

Exciting player with good potential. 6ft5 is big and he is fast. I cannot see why he will not work. I would be jealous if another prem team got him.

[@danecadette4714]

Plays like a poor man's Ibrahimovic which is a huge compliment

[@tolja111]

ETH: De Ligt, Zirkzee, Martinez, Antony, Malacia, the new staff and now also keepers trainer Jelle ten Rouwelaar from Holland, it's a bit too much Dutchies and Ajax connections I am afraid. And then maybe former Ajax players Alvarez and Kudus from West Ham?

[@Unknownpersonmr]

Zirkzee and Toney are both a risk, all players are in general, we are taking a gamble between attitude and potential, either one will turn great or will haunt us, all we can do is wish for the best.

[@druhurn3686]

@@Unknownpersonmr toney is much less of a risk if you have seen Zirkzee play his style isn’t per say that well suited to the tempo and physicality of the prem

[@RedDevilDog1207]

And on half or 30% of fee/wages, Zirkzee is low risk

[@Bobbobington123]

[@MrBeHappy24]

Zirkzee is almost like Martial. Good with the ball on the feet. ETH did like Martial alot

[@SteveOnyango-zf3ip]

Finally someone sees it Zerkzee is good on the ball like martial

[@Mason.Greenwood]

Sure I've been saying that for agaes . Thank God someone else sees it

[@beandog100]

Agreed, very good feet and can progress the ball from deeper.

[@espenkaligrebrof9682]

Apart from the fact that Martial almost never had the ball in a game I am sure Zirkzee is better. He has to be!

[@leri7222]

Yea, he really does look like the perfect replacement for martial. Love that he’s bigger though, helpful during set pieces which will hopefully reduce the amount of starts McT gets just because we need height in the team.

[@ybFaha]

A striker makes no difference without sufficient service!

[@pokretnihumor4k567]

Jonathan David is definitely the best option and the most complete player out of all the above, and he can also fill the same role as Zirkezee. Covers AM, SS and CF positions.

[@mrnikcooper]

Fair play Mark, I'd love to see Zirkzee playing on behind Rasmus, with Bruno playing right midfield and Frimpong overlapping on the outside.

[@jameshewat4700]

And I’d like Sydney Sweeney making my martinis.

[@survivinglifewithquantock5180]

Toney was banned for 6months last season how can you judge his conversion rate 😅

[@bradlightning3601]

If im not mistaken, toney had more shots than rasmus last season

[@zeeone4492]

Stats to suit your argument

[@beandog100]

With a limited budget, everything is a risk. A good club sees the potential and makes young players better. I like both Zirkzee and David, but David is a similar player style-wise to Rasmus. I'd prefer Zirkzee as I think he could play with Rasmus if necessary.

[@Mr.Wacky010]

Zirkzee is good for real, get a lot of love from Gullit & Marco van Basten as well. Marco Who is known to be a big critic of many. Both loves the Italian league and are big watchers. In the Netherlands we have Ziggorondo program where Marco is weekly a guest together with Gullit.

[@user-pl7qo9qz1x]

have we signed anyone yet? have we sold anyone yet?

[@Arathon-ht4xi]

Reminds me of when we had the restart during Covid, when Rashford, Martial and Greenwood were tearing it up, destroying defences like rice paper

[@chrisgray1507]

Could Zirkzee replace Bruno if he does leave? (I know that’s not why we’re bringing him in)

[@deepstormsean]

Zirkzee is a forward while Bruno is a midfielder or a playmaker , so zirkzee is not a direct replacement for bruno

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

Never

[@chrisgray1507]

@@deepstormsean yeah but Zirkzee is a creative forward so that’s why I mentioned the idea

[@dennisisaksson7234]

When is it time For the Romano special you do sometimes? I always love those episodes :D Btw your a King goldbridge absolutly love the shows (member of the chat for the past 7 years)

[@Grovaz]

We should make a bid for Nketia. Surplus to requirements but he's a promising talent and always gives us a hard time when he plays against us.

[@stephenrebelo-xl7wh]

I watch bologna, the problem will be with the fans, he does a Rashford in the games, just walks when he is not in the mode, but will try to get back!

[@DJBazzoMusic74]

We sign any players yet? We sold any players yet? We talk about everyone? Yes

[@paragonfilms1531]

this is very simple, most fans might not want a zirkzee type player ideally, but given how man u actually play, we NEED a player like that since players who stay in the box get zero service, not just rasmus but weghorst, martial, cavani etc it’s been an issue for years. you have to buy who you need not who you want sometimes.

[@jameshewat4700]

Agree, but they need to play consistently. He won’t.

[@Elsjza-]

Zirkzee playstyle is very good, but the output is the only problem, United need goals, but i happy with him, because i feel he can do something, but if we want to challenge, we need someone that guaranteed 15-20+ goals, but i know its not our goals yet.

[@eminturksezer9423]

On paper the transformation in MNLUFC is not the worst path. Joshua is talented player but seems to have had issues with discipline and accepting his role within a squad. If he has learned that, he is a great addition to most teams otherwise Jaydon II. is a possibility.

[@zebadee2476]

[@aadilsaloojee8079]

Zirkzee could be like aguero, at atletico he wasn't prolific but at city he was world class, scoring and creating goals.

[@henysho630]

We need experienced player like Tony

[@katibothman5531]

I hope we are not hyping zirkzee too much. I have seen more high profile dutch players struggle in the EPL

[@Buenossss]

Not sure what being Dutch has to do with it. He never played in the Dutch league as well.

[@fozzy6291]

Does Toney's conversion rate take into account set pieces? Remember he takes Brentfords freekicks so that'll drop it significantly if it includes shots from them.

[@United86649]

Ive never seen zirkzee play i wont lie, im not going to go off of youtube clips so i geuss ill find out if we get him. But what i can say is hel take some pressure of rasmus and itl be another option.

[@jonoconnell-df8wx]

Are we really going to sell Bruno to the Saudi and that Bruno would go

[@paulosasfaw9799]

Mark am glad our back room staff sorted early now we got the base to move forward!!!!

[@justjohnxx]

I was watching some footage of Rooney Scholes Becckham and co .......they were on a different planet to any of these premier league teams today . So whoever comes in wont be very exciting I'm afraid . Great players dont exist ...just look at the England team . Like watching paint dry .

[@justinmaguire4180]

They are all not good enough

[@jeson2597]

the more i hear about zirkzee the more his profile looks like a number 10 with his playlinking, dribbling and tricky passes.

[@PBugz]

Bolognas style required everyone to run, pass and play box to box possession- so hes an interesting choice…

[@knowplacelikesones8073]

Toney will be betting on his next club

[@CCMjr]

Fab said the fee isnt a problem coz his price is below the budget we had for a striker so if we've truly agreed personal terms theres no reason for it not to happen unless zirkzee himself changes his mind

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

Its the agent that could possibly go wrong, but doesnt seem to be.

[@CCMjr]

@@sechabatheletsane9784 he better not resolve his issues with milan lol

[@gazb2002]

What’s worrying is that it’s another Dutch player… All we seem to sign are either Dutch players or players that Ten Hag has managed before.

[@leonwilliams7335]

Also if we are bringing a striker you would want to bring on in that is a bit dissimilar to what you have.

[@Billy56816]

Chiasa available for 25 mil

[@loudpack_shaq8895]

Yes, Zirkzee is risky but his styke is more suited for our greddy wingers, unless we get creative players.. our striker Hojlund, will continue to struggle for goals.

[@projectconsultingcabinetna8196]

Let’s go for Jonathan David or Jean Philippe Mateta from crystal palace .

[@funkyjams]

Mateta is the man!

This isn't a sure thing yet not a here we go

[@leonzandbergen3352]

We won’t get a decision not just zerkzie but deligt and ugarte as well when the euros/Copa America competitions is over or there teams gets knocked out that’s when we are likely to get a here we go or finalize the deals

[@Z3R0-UK]

Zirkzee wouldn't even start in a Aston Villa team

[@humphreyegwangu7086]

Holdon a minute, Rashford and Garnacho’s first thought when they receive the ball is to find the net, hence the lack of service. with someone like Zirkzee,who’s first thiught is ti create for them, who drops in deep as a false 9 , disrupt man to man presses in the midfield and creates for wingers running in behind, I see the vision !!!

[@redouanedjerboua8869]

Yeah, Hojlland is better than all of them...interested in goals conversion rate but not touches in opp box....how predictable

[@abdulwahabalqallaf-uj6er]

Zirkzee can make United a different team Edit: Guys it’s just my opinion don’t get mad

[@druhurn3686]

I’m not sure about that but he’ll be a good striker for the future and he’ll rotate with Hoijlund well

[@asxpsecret1506]

No it won’t 😹

[@landothomas1118]

How is that possible if they’re buying him as competition to Hojuljnd and Someone who can play back up LW and back up CAM?

Will be nice to come back in a years time and see how this aged badly. He is not special and won't take united to the next level😂

[@deepstormsean]

​@druhurn3686 both are different typed of players while hojlund Is a direct player , liking to lukaku or haaland while zirkzee is more of a grizemann or olmo

In zirksee, you are getting a creative player that will offer united a different dynamics. He is the best among other players United is looking at.

[@mohiburrehmangaming14]

[@Redballoon99]

[@conormccusker3487]

I actually have watched him all season. I was ETH in unless we could have gotten Motta from Bologna, people don’t realize Motta managed Spezia and steered them from relegation before going to Bologna. So in paying attention to serie a I’ve seen plenty of Zirkzee. For me the most exciting player in serie a right now is Kenan Yildiz at juventus but I’m sure U have never heard of him. Better than Garnacho

[@joshuakaumba6273]

The fact that the news is this slow in july is worrying and i don't want to hear the crap that ineos don't leak we know the coaching stuff alredy

[@christianschoepf3810]

Why we are not scouting Youssufa Moukoko from Dortmund? He is really a look worth

[@boomfaoce]

Zirkzee is a second striker similar to Wayne Rooney in many ways if Bruno is actually going to Saudi I would play Zirkzee and Houjland together as a 2nd striker

[@johngordillo3039]

Zirkzee just makes me think he’s a replacement of Tony Martial type player. Maybe I’m wrong but Martial played on the wing and could play in support of a 9. I know we tried fitting him in as a traditional number 9 but he wasn’t prolific. He was more successful from the wing in my opinion.

[@javierpenaloza19]

If Sancho or Greenwood leave, Man U need to be all over Chiesa £21m is a steal for a player like him

[@user-pl7qo9qz1x]

ETH used Rasmus as a target man striker which is not his profile I hope he uses him in the right way this season. Our attack needs to work on patterns of play. I just think rasmus, rashford and garnacho doesn't work there's no balance.

[@djs515]

does that mean if rasmus was in the city team he would out score haaland lol

[@KC-lt7iw]

I love how Mark tried to play down Zirkzee’s credentials in the Euros like Hojland did anything of note….he might as well have been on the bench that’s how insignificant his contribution was to the team. As far as I’m concerned Zirkzee and Hojland are unproven talents…..neither of them should be the starting #9 for us

If we didn't get Zirkzee, I'd look at Jonathan David or possibly En-Nesyri.
