Nice to see some consistency in our youth signings... Carlos Valderama lookalikes

We have broken world records for Pogba and MaguireLove how we can do things in the transfer market other clubs can only dream of
Mandzukic, how thoroughly depressing.
Coutinho is a luxury player.
Meanwhile, the midfield is still a mess.
I'd take Coutinho on loan in a heartbeat although I doubt he'd join us.
Because another LW/CAM hybrid is just what we need. Especially a Scouse loving one.
Mandzukic would be a cheap option to give us depth. Coutinho wouldn't come here, he has said it in the past. Yes the midfield is still a mess. We must hate midfielders.
Whooptie doo - we're 6th, out of the UCL and let's be serious... no one was even in for Pogba and Maguire, we were taken to the cleaners by Leicester and Juve because we are not the team we used to be.
He's not very good, but he is better than all of our attacking players. Sadly, he'd never agree to join.
I'd take him on a season long loan - just to piss the scousers off
We can't lose in a loan deal and if he can reproduce his Pool form he could be a big gain.Because another LW/CAM hybrid is just what we need. Especially a Scouse loving one.
We lost 2 important midfielders, one can't move anymore and our best one potentially wants to leave
Our goalscorer has gone awol and for a team that has lacked creativity and goals that is not exactly perfect
We signed a CB and RB, two positions we were supposed to last window. Both who we paid the asking price for.
We keep briefing about wanting signings to join us, we keep briefing we have been planning these targets for weeks, only to suddenly pull out in the last second.
No sign of a director of football.
This club is being treated like a joke mate
Hello darkness my old friend...
No they aren't going to be busy, dick head, nothing is going to happen.
Any chance of Eriksen Repenting today???? Where's Tony gone?
Exactly. A bunch of kids who don't realise how real life football works, and use their rebuilds on Football Manager as a reference as to how things should be done in real life.
Solksjear will have to improve the players. That's what football management is. We need most of Rashford, Martial, Pogba, McTominay, Fred and Matic to perform 20% better than last season. That's the job of the manager. We also need to new signings to be the right ones and to settle in well. Job of the manager. We also need to incorporate and develop the potential of the brilliant young players that we have on the periphery of the first team. That's the job of the manager.
People mock managers like Jose for being chequebook managers, but then they go crazy when the current manager doesn't act the same.
This season there is no excuse for not finishing in the top 4. Then we carry on strengthening next summer. Patience, not hysteria.
Some of our fans are truly moronic.Proving Mandy is a bench option at most then fine.
Ole obviously has a lot of (misplaced) faith in the likes of Pereira and Fred, but I do think there's a player in McTominay. Matic is just a shambles now though and Pogba can't really be trusted to deliver the goods consistently. We have really fecked up not replacing Hererra and Fellaini, which should not have been a difficult task as they're both bang average
Agree with this.
Don't worry, we'll still concede a lot of goals with our "fixed defence". Simply because our abysmal midfield will not offer any protection.

We can lose 25m, everyone and their mums will love it if/when he flops and we need a CDM/RCM/RW and he's neither of those things.
He has massively landed on his feet there.
Or... we've lost two midfielders this year and our top scorer and people are wanting us to replace them.
It is not spoiled to want us to strengthen our side... it would be different if we were firing on all cylinders last year and it was just our defense that was the problem, but that clearly wasn't the case.
Once Lukaku goes we would have spent 80 million net this summer . That is nothing in the current market for a club way behind its rivals. We have the highest wage bill in the league but a squad that finished 6th and will again finish 6th. But hey let's blame the fans for this
Cue token goal against us.
We lost two midfielders, our striker ran away to Belgium and our star does not want to be here. It is going very well.
We did precisely that when we signed the likes of Pogba, Ibra, Depay, ADM, Schweinsteiger, Mkhitaryan, etc. Where did it leave us? Going after quality is all well and good, but if you don't have the required professionalism then the impact of that talent and quality is negligible at best. Di Maria was kept out of the side by Ashley fecking Young by the end of his season here, ffs!
I really hope Herrera was injured at the end of last season, because if it was just the club making a point it backfired. He would have still given his best. You say they are bang average, yet what is left is a darn sight worse. I only rate Pogba and like you McTominay. We got sold a pup in Fred and Pereira just is not good enough. Yet we hand contract renewals like confetti to the usual suspects, who nobody else wants.
About right.
Isn't Cleverly one of his best mate?
Just because the defence has been sorted doesn’t mean we should be content, there’s holes all over our team. Shows how low the standards are now that people who point it out are called spoilt.
The the problem with Coutinho he is at his best in the inside left channel, which is where Pogba likes to be
I think you are being a little unfair on Solskjaer there. I don't think he has one of the four best squads in the league at his disposal, so setting a minimum requirement of fourth place is really doing him a disservice. If we manage to get top 6 again, he will have done a reasonable job in my view.
I'd say the majority aren't happy.
I agree with your characterisation. Ander not brilliant but a damn sight better than what we are left with and really good manager of big games. Our contract renewal strategy just leaves me scratching my head. Just praying that the lad Gomes will get good game time but fear it will be a frustrating season for him – shades of when Pogba ended up buggering off originally for me.
That really worries me. He is showing signs of being a really special player.
It's strange for a club that has such strong yout traditions but I have no faith that we will blood him. If he didn't have a slight frame (even though he is strong!) I think he would be straight in, ala McTominay.
I seriously hope this is Ole placing faith on the likes of Gomes and Garner but considering how last season turned out, there is more chance of Lingard or Mata ending up in midfield.
If Ole is really happy with the squad he has at his disposal, then he has to take the blame if we end up with another disappointing season.
He has a squad that finished 2nd two years ago and 6 points off 4th last season despite a HORRIFIC start and finish to the season.
The squad has had more money spent on it than any other squad this summer, and has gone from having one of the worst defences to having one of the best defences.
Chelsea are weaker, and despite the ridiculous hysteria on here because Arsenal have signed some guy from France who has had ONE good season in his life (he's 24 years old), they are weaker too, having lost their best defender and midfielder.
Top 4, no excuses.
