The Manchester United Thread

We have Martial already on the left. Isn't Everton primarily a left Inside Forward?

Honestly, if we can get in two CM and a CB (assuming AwB will be done), that will still work for me. ****, get in Bruno Fernandes and a CB, we can still make do, to an extent. But we need atleast one of each, if not a second CM.

As Mike said, don't reckon we are signing wide players (unless Lukaku leaves). Lingard/Alexis/James will be rotated there, I guess.

Yes, he's a left winger.

He was silly to say he wanted them by 1st July, given tournaments and holidays

Makes me laugh how managers say this nearly every year lol. It literally never happens! But still will see the same line pushed out again next year lol.

The great thing about Everton it that he can dribble in tight spaces. He creates space against tight defenses. James, for the little i've seen of him, is great when he's allowed space to run. His dribbles are in full speed. We already have players that are dangerous on the break (Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, maybe even Lingard). But we can't open up teams that park the bus. That's why a RW that has this attributes would be so important to us.
 
Greenwood scores England’s 3rd :) and a new signing :)




Man Utd sign 16-year-old Spanish wonderkid Mateo Mejia from Real Zaragoza for £600,000 transfer fee.

From what hat I can see is a goal scoring winger. Hannibal Mejbri expected to be done soon also.

Few reports going round that Mata took a 45k pw pay cut to remain at OT. And has been promised an ambassador role at the end of his contract.
 
I was just listening to this to add weight to a reply to someone elsewhere and there's some interesting views on the AWB gamble for the price and the direction of the club from the Sunday Times excellent Johnathan Northcroft in particular (Castles is the downside but hey ho) that might be of interest.

The Utd talk is from 21:17 through 39:23.

Good news you transfer impatient transfer muppets :))) Ducker saying Utd and Palace holding talks later today to finalise the AWB deal. And Ole wants to push forward with the Bruno Fernandes deal. Lukaku still in talks with Inter and Juve have enquired about Darmian.

Also saying Ole is still interested in Longstaff on top of Fernandes. Inter also have made enquires about Sanchez.

James, Fernandes, AWB, Longstaff and a CB will be a very good window.

TBH you're both wrong. Clearly stuff is happening ZZ, but also it's not anything different TOD. Signings are still on going.

Zz you need to stop acting like its the end of the world, its boring and inaccurate, Tod you need to stop acting like every tweet is news, its boring and inaccurate
 
Eh, we will make more signings, atleast one more for sure, it's fine. It's just that it will stretch on forever, and make us want to tear our hair out by the time it gets completed. Also, doesn't help facts that everyone gets linked, and noone has any actual information (good thing, mind, club atleast seems to have learned something from Moyes).

I reckon we should be able to complete both AwB and Fernandes, hopefully. What business we do after that is the more important question. Another CM and a CB, and it's a really good window.

Oh, and just for the record, Ndombele over Longstaff. Just saying.

Ndombele and Dias would be the best window we've probably ever had

Two years ago Inter Milan refused to sell Ivan Perisic to Manchester United for less than £48m. United well within their rights not to accept a penny less than £75m for Romelu Lukaku

**** right! And the fact Perisic only had 1yr left on his contract. I’m actually happy Ed/Judge are not having us get our pants down all the time!

That's how important Pogba was to us this season and how deeply unbalanced our squad is.

Conversely, show how much everyone else underperformed. It doesn't matter who you bring in, if the current squad doesn't step up you're ****** anyway. It's why I worry less about transfers than any else.

While i agree that some players underperformed, i'd argue that for most it's as good as it gets.
