The Manchester United Thread

Seen a few reports saying Zlatan could be back by October. And he's been impressed by how the club have looked after him and would sign a new deal till end of the season. #10 :)
 
English clubs still failed to realize that everybody knows just how much money they have.

More every little penny matters. Irrespective of how much you've actually got.

£5 million, for example, may seem nottin' in relation to the ridiculous money in today's game but it sure as heck is to a football club. You can bet your bottom dollar they'll be someone within that club charged with trying to save/ recoup that over the season through whatever means. So you have your valuation and try get the best deal for your club. Taking 3 or so weeks trying to negotiate the best deal for yourselves isn't a long time frame at all in top end deals.

Yeah, until someone swoops in and steals your target. Lately it's becomes obvious that people still try to negotiate extensively, but eventually end up paying premium anyways.
 
IF madrid move for DDG and are successful,how do feel about romero/pereira taking over?

I actually feel confident with S.Romero and happy with Pereira as competition, but I don't think / hope De Gea will leave this season :(
 
Unthinkable to have Romero as no.1.... he's a great backup keeper... but that's as far as it should go with him here.

He flaps at every cross, would be exposed in the Premier League, week in, week out. Don't even want to contemplate that thought.
 
Oh and for the love of god... why are we chasing Dier? He's the definition of average and hard to get.

Why we don't chase a realistic target for DM before it's too late and we don't get any I don't know.

DM is most important signing (could argue striker as well) this summer, if we don't get one, I think we're back to square one next season.

We haven't really improved anything so far, Lukaku replaces Zlatan, Lindelof replaces Jones (I hope).

How many mistakes did he make when he played. And read on squaka he had 89% clearance rate from crosses and corners. He would be fine. But I would be surprised if DDG went anyway.

Some serious underating of Dier by Utd fans. Why the meltdown post didn't realise all our rivals have done great business. Let's see we're everyone is when the window closes!

When he played he was alright, but it's totally different ball game when your expected to perform as no.1. Plus Premier League is totally different to playing in Europa and the mickey mouse cups.

Well it's not really because in those so called Mickey Mouse cups your playing Prem opposition anyway or lower teams that throw the ball in the box more. He's a very good experienced full international keeper that's played at the top level. And key for us winning said Mickey Mouse and Europa league trophy last season.

Not really the target himself, it's more how unrealistic it is as well. Tottenham outright don't want to sell, we'll get fleeced by Levy and for Dier, it isn't worth it and a big waste of time. Especially when there is better DM's out there who we should be getting. We all know Fabinho would be the best target, even if it doesn't work out for DM we have a great RB as well.

Did he play against anyone of note? (And that's not knocking Utd's Europa run before somebody jumps in. You can only beat what's in front of you. But as regards Romero, if you're making the case for him playing well in Europa last year, you need to also add he faced nothing like PL opposition.).
