We are better than Arsenal for retrieving the ball when it's lost, so we can afford a player who tries the different.

Jose had Hazard after all
I read that as 'Alexis is shaven' at quick glance.
The problem with that would be that our 2 most creative players (Pogz and Sanchez) would give the ball away 1 to many times by trying things that don't always come off.
We have seen a few times this season, where the ball has been given away and we are instantly under pressure. Fair to say the matchday threads don't handle it very well.
Would we need additional resources to strengthen around the field to counter this?
Me too
This is my first ever and could probably be the last ever post. In fact, this thread has been so brilliant, I felt compelled to have my say in order to keep up the muppetry in summer.
Next summer, we should try to hammer further blows to Arsenal and, for the first time since 1964, cause a move from Liverpool to United.
We should sign Oezil and Wilshere, as they are both gonna be free agent soon and put them on the bench. From Liverpool, we should sign Emre Can, who will be free agent soon too. Then we should sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic(SMS) and Keiran Tierney paying actual transfer fees. We should bring back Andreas Pereira and will most probably get rid of Fellaini, finally(SMS and Can are tall enough to replace his height). We should also sell Mata and Herrera to Valencia/Sevilla and Smalling to somewhere obscure.
The first XI will be the following:
--Martial-----Lukaku-----Alexis--
------Pogba--------------SMS-----
----------------Matic---------------
Shaw------Rojo-----Bailey---Tony
----------------DDG----------------
The 2nd XI will be the following:
---Lingard-----Rashford-----Oezil---
------Andreas-----------Wilshere----
-------------------Can----------------
Tierney----Jones---Lindelof---Young
----------------Romero---------------
For monitoring each movement during each of the 5 signings, I mentioned above, we can use this drone(cheap from Lidl Germany, don't know if it's available in the UK).

Same here
I have no issue with that. Afterall, is there an attacking, direct winger/wide forward who doesn't lose possession often by taking risks? Even Messi will take shots from narrow angles and play through balls that are a bit overhit or are intercepted. It's the nature of the position and the role.
We have Mata out wide who is less risky and will look for the option that keeps play moving and knits the team together, and that is what we're crying out to replace, with player who goes for the throat and adds direct goal threat.
Sanchez isn't going to be hitting every through pass or scoring with every chance, and every run at a defender isn't always going to have the end product. If fans get on his back for that, then they're a bit blinkered as to what to expect from a player in that role.
How did you people add fifty plus pages of feck all since 10.30pm last night?
That's proper Muppet dedication right there.

And will some of the grown up mods please remove this stupid scouse banner, (not funny anymore) please?
Been out of this thread for a while, looks like it's coming to an end today. What a rollercoaster!
Have to say the fact that @Ban now has Scouse Lover and City Lover banners has blown my mind

Pereira and Wilshere ahead of Herrera?
Imagine how is it for me.
Tell me about it.This is why i made up a random name instead of using the name of one of our players
And that @Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87 fella
Oh Forgot about him, we should get rid of him altogether. Pereira and Wilshere more creative and more accurate passers than Herrera (The fact that I totally forgot about him is a testament to how poor he has been this season.). Sell him with Mata.

@Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87 changed to “Santi_Mesut_Henrikh_87” or leaving Alexis in just for the laugh having a United player in there? Just think if Ozil signs in the summer he’ll have two United players in his Username.
No taking Pogs with you, Mkhi
This is why I mostly stay away from matchday threads. No reason there. And give how much bitching there was about a lack of risk-taking under Van Gaal, to turn around and criticise world-class players like Pogba and Sanchez for trying things that don't come off is the height of hypocritical.

I think we’re a top level AM away from a formidable side. My choice would be Nabil Fekir.
Sorry, but I hope it's your last post.
Milinkovic Savic is an absolute monster, would be chuffed to pieces if we signed him.
MEN reckon he is back at Carrington. He might even train today.
Why??? I'd sign him to make them weaker.Signing a player from Liverpool is a big no no..
All oiled up and ready to go!!
Today is the day people. We've waited long enough. Must admit I was one of the doubters of this happening at the start, but I'm certainly please to be wrong. Predicting a 1PM announcement.
How long till the announcement we think?
10am?
10am?
Just needed to get a post in before the lock...
What a signing GGMU

Exhilarating information in a Sanchez transfer thread.
Great news, by then you would have acquired a drone and one of 'em powerful zoom paparrazzi cameras
