The major problem is still Lerner. Some say £30/ 35m but this will not bring in enough talent to stem the tide.
One sports writer commented zero to Nero as he watches his club go down in flames.
Two options, championship players who want the challenge and will relish 18 games in the prem. Then prem players out of favour and playing "keep the bench warm".
Defenders, midfield, strikers and gk, all positions need bolstering.
If only Lerner would face facts and get the wd40 to open his purse and make a polite name for himself instead of the ones we would like to call him. Surely the man has some pride.
Our situation is that we don't get the ball into the box so any No 9 will starve to death while he waits to score. Not a new problem to us as it has been this way for several seasons.
Interesting to note that Adidas have told MU that they don't like possession football an want to see the ball in the box. Could it be that shirt sponsors tell clubs what style they want to see?
Naa, can't be true, can it?

Totally agree, Oldvillan. Read a stat today saying that Jordan Ayew has the 5th best shot conversion rate and 3rd best shooting accuracy rate of any striker in the PL. I don't think our strikers are as big a problem as we are all making out, but getting the ball to them seems to be the problem.
