The Manchester United Thread

It's literally looking like Mina or bust at this point..... I can't see us signing anyone. Bayern want £50m for Boateng and his ridiculous wages. World record transfer for Maguire is a no go. Levy isn't budging on Alderweireld.

Very disappointing :/
 
Net spend has never been, or ever will be a proper way to judge transfers. It never has been in football finances. It's gross figures and wages to turnover ratios that matter the most.
 
Also forget the idea of Pogba being sold, it's nothing to do with faith in Woodward, but ego and perception

I wrote this elsewhere: [FONT=&quot]United spent 89 million to bring him back, he's a world class player, a world cup winner (and a key component of that win) and he's got huge global commercial reach. In a world where Coutinho went for 120m and we're talking 150m for Savic, Woodward could not countenance, or survive the backlash of anything other than a mega fee return. And then they would have to find another star to replace him. It simply won't happen. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]

Never happening this summer, do you think we'll get anyone in before the deadline on Thursday more importantly? I'm really struggling to see, unless we buckle to Levy's demands for Aldeweireld, even that looks unlikely. Only other pointers are world record fee for Maguire (not happening) or £50m for Boateng (not happening).

Yeah, we will buckle and do so. Order of likelyness: Boateng, Aldeweireld, Maguire. And it will go down to the wire. Spurs are awful to deal with
 
Cant see boateng moving him and the family ******* hated living here.
 
Isn't Poch and Levy the type of guys who would love a Smalling, Jones or Rojo? No, thought not. Who the **** would. :P

Sound.

Then to z’s point virtually no spend until the last two windows in comparison if that fits better.
 
Stop panicking, we're getting Alderweireld. It's a matter of Levy's pride, doesn't want to damage his ego and just wants to live up to his "hard bargainer" rep.

He'll be a United player by 31st of Aug.

As much as I want him, it won't mean **** if everyone we have already don't step up from last year. Even without more signings, if everyone consistently plays as they can, we're as big as threat as anyone bar city, and we csn certainly close the gap hard on them. Buy everyone needs to step, manager most of all. He Jose steps it up, or we sink him at the end of the season. No middle ground here

@SimonStoney


Been informed Paul Pogba has not been asking for more money from @ManUtd on the back of Alexis Sanchez. Club stance remains as it was, no intention of selling. Player has not asked to leave.
 
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
