The Manchester United Thread

simon stone reporting that it is looking likely that there will be no more signings this window.IF true then its not good news is it

There's no point worrying. We will know in 48 hours anyway

mike,this window cant shut soon enough for me.Do we need to strengthen?absolutely imo but if lindelof/bailly partnership can be workde out i think that would be solid but does jose trust them together?yeah we will see what happens,maybe cave in and pay the 55 mill for toby at 4.45 tomorrow
 
Cave in and pay up thus leaving Spurs in deep trouble as they won't be able to get a replacement, Levy will bottle it, mind you United could throw in Smalling to give them a CB in return ;)

They managed last season without him they can do it also now. Also big guy is back so Dier can opt for back line.

Crazy how Chelsea are pulling the triggers currently.
 
Pulling the triggers and paying over the odds.

big gamble on kepa,talented yes but can he adapt.DDG had a torrid time but his quality and desire to succeed pulled him through that bad start.On paper it looks like city and liverpool are the ones to catch but anything can happen.
 
I'm so tired of the Jose sideshow already.
I knew it would happen, hoped it wouldn't, but unfortunately the man is still a a ******* wagon.
 
Don't care what anyone says someone has to come in before deadline, we can't put any faith that Lindelof and Bailly will work for a season because one gets injured a lot and other still hasn't adapted to the league.

No reason why we can't get one of Maguire, boating or Aldeweired - they are all playing chess with us and know were desperate.

We're continually signing sponsors over the last few days and throughout summer, we're absolutely loaded with money. Get at least one in tomorrow no excuses.

3 CBs incoming;)
 
I'm feeling optimistic about us getting 1 Centre Back. Just want us to get it done, close the window and get the season going.. all this negativity is making me more sad than I already am..
 
Given the state of our CB's I wouldn't even care if we got 2 out of 3!

Even MEN are saying Leicester will sell Maguire for £75m, they are definitely playing games
Ideally buy Maguire ship Rojo to Everton. Buy Toby and Rose with Smalling and Shaw going the other way. Easy ;)
 
The annoying thing is we actually have a lot of players who we could use to sweeten these deals and we seemingly aren't using them.
Ok maybe Spurs wouldn't want any of our castoffs.

But surely Leicester would want one of Rojo, Smalling or Jones...... maybe it's just the absurd wages which is another issue in itself. We can't get rid of these buggars.

Were trying to cast off Rojo as it is.
 
Signing Boateng would be reminiscent of Schweinsteiger, the price Bayern want for an injury prone CB who rely's heavily on his athleticism is absurd. Yous lot already have numerous injury prone why add another one.

We need another CB for numbers alone tbh, especially if Rojo is going.

Boateng isn't ideal by any stretch but in a window where you have Maguire valued at £75m and Aldeweireld being kept at Spurs, there's not much alternative.

I just don't see value in the Boateng deal, he has played less than 20 league games in the past 3 seasons alone due to injury that is a terrible injury record for a CB. I'd just pay the money for Maguire because as much as I don't rate him he still has room for improvement.

Well the talk is at the moment that the Boateng move would be a loan deal... which makes much more sense.
 
All these central defender talk for 70+ million and Fergie bought Vidic for peanuts from Russian tundras... Hilarious from this perspective.

Baily, Lindeloff, Smalling, Jones. Darmian can put in a decent shift in a crisis. Why on earth would you need more? Buying for quality makes sense, but numbers are fine.
