In
This was a window to build for the future after the spine of the 1st team last summer. This may be our philosophy going forward however at the same time United will always be in the market for the best players, Until Real Madrid poach them!
Romalu Lukaku £20m

Had no plans to spend this big but its not every summer you get offered a top 5 quality striker. Will be the 4th striker in my current line up. Will learn lots from Rooney, Falcao & RVP and offer something different off the bench. This may now the clubs best ever front 4 rivaling Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez & Berbatov & York, Cole, Sheringham & Solskjaer
Paulo Dyvala £5.6m

Anyone outside the top 5 should have been buying this guy at this price! Would have been striker no4 but Lukaku is more premiership ready so i let Dyabala on loan to QPR for the season.
Alessio Romagnoli £5.2m

The next Chielini. Mark my words. Jones & Hummels watch your backs!
Micah Richards - Free
View attachment 241292
A free transfer from your neighbours. Will be a back up right back and center back. Hopefully doesnt take to much playing time away from Romangnoli but with the amount of defensive injurys we had last season another experienced player was a must
The final 4 are to go to my youth team.
Forte
Adeyemi
Iodanescu
Van Wingerden
See you in a few years hopefully
The biggest deal of our the summer is one that didnt take place! I wont mention players or teams but i had a deal in place to sell one of my star players in a near Premiership record deal clubs agreed paperwork signed but much like John Obi Mikel the deal ended up having to be called off with United receiving a handsome £13m pay out for ripping up the deal and burning all evidence of its existence.
Out
Javier Hernandez left to Liverpool for a bargain £3m after i made an administrational error
Sunderland made a treble swoop for
Gabi Varela & Chris Smalling for £5.5m and pick up
Tom Cleverley for free
West Ham also take advantage of United youth system buying
Will Keane & Paddy McNair
Angelo Henriquez left as part of the Lukaku deal
On the Loan front
James Wilson will spend a 2nd season at Stoke,
Ross Barkley moves to Sunderland after a injury ravaged 1st season and as previously mentioned
Dyabala is off for a season at QPR. He and Wilson will surly be competing for RVP's spot in the 1st team next season.
Apologies to everyone who was interested in
Powell & Blackett and i said they were sold. Turns out West Brom cancelled the deal while a chairman was asked his final words before being murdered. we at United were not informed and had no knowledge of this till when the Window close but wont talk ill of the dead! Water under the bridge
Season 2
Targets
Champions League - Knock out phase
Premiership - Title Challenge
FA Cup - Beat Anyone outside Man City & Chelsea
League Cup - Youth team
Progression is all we ask of LVG. He had last year to figure the squad out and see what everyone was made of this year he's got more strength in depth as well as a full pre season to prepare the team for a push at the title. League success is my priority this year. We will give the team a break in Europe as this is there 1st season back i dont expect a European title right away but getting to the last 16 is a minimum objective!
