Hmm
He was SAF. That argument no longer applies here. If we wont prevent, We wont win and dominate. This era is not easy at all. Top clubs punch according to their weight and sometimes above.
Nah, that would be Spurs .... with 86 goals.
Disappointed. He's so good.
You on the windup? Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Bailey & Miki last season when we weren't even in the Champions League.
Some appear to be getting confused. It's Bernardo Silva. Not Lionel Messi.
A very good player but much like James not someone who I think we would desperately need, griezmann and a number nine are more essential as we already have mata, Mikh and pereira to come back as well.
Doesn't really seem like an essential signing for city either but they look like they might get Fabinho, mendy and walker as well which will make them very good team next season.

We are effing man united, there is no young ronaldo or rooney or carrick to dominate this league out there. We are short of creativity and wide players , and spending world record on every player is not the way. Also we need to hold the ball better against the philosophies pep and klopp are playing frankly speaking, Parking the bus is not how we want to see united play.
He'd be expected to be an integral part of leading a team to a PL title and at least a couple good cup runs also.
Anderlecht has pressure yes, but their league is nothing compared to PL, similarly for Monaco.
So yes he will be expected to perform well, however the pressure and intensity at United is a completely different beast. Memphis is a great example of that.
Nothing on SSN or the BBC and Griezmann is talking about his future at Atletico. WTF!
Been saying this since around the time of the Vidal debacle. Why weren't we in for him when he left Leverkusen? What do our scouts actually get paid for? Are we always just looking to splurge big because we can now? Is that the profile? Kagawa and Miki both were refusing to sign contracts that's why they were cheap. Bailly looks a good signing at an average price as does Ander. But why not go for the top players earlier and play them? It's not like we've been pulling up many trees the last few years and in the example I used above Vidal was exactly the kind of midfielder who would have perfectly complimented Carrick. We need to be more on the ball. I guess these things take time. Fergie liked to buy within the league, foreign players who suited his system or bargain players and it worked pretty well for him. Our last two managers were incompetent so it will take time to build again.
Makes my blood boil seeing the level of players we field while City keeps stockpiling on top attacking talents like this. Ruined my weekend, can't even enjoy the cup win properly now.
That was obvious, try to be more subtle next time.Gentlemen may I present to you... someone trying to have a laugh
If we lose him , only sanchez can improve us .
Ok. Have a word with yourself.
Awful news ffs. Hate city love Silva
Look, we all throw money around like it's going out of fashion these days. Annoys me when some try to take the moral high ground, especially Chelsea fans who would be nothing without Roman's cash. But here we are - they didn't ask for his cash so why should they complain?Thanks. To be fair, I wasn't expecting you to agree with me
I'm not going to get involved in the wider Silva discussion on this thread as emotions are running pretty high, suffice to say that both clubs were always going to spend big this window and as such United will sign some great players this summer too.
I want us and City competing next season, Liverpool in 8th and the London clubs to feel sorry for themselves.
I wonder if they are having a meltdown over at other football forums or is it only here...
You're right. I should be as calm and considered as the people losing their minds in this thread.
Gutted! Great little player they have some top talent in the attacking areas.
Lingard and Rashford are first choice attacking players; there's plenty of players who could improve us.
Think you are right. But I am not sure what sort of attacker really suits us. I am of the impression that any forward thinking attacking player is not suitable for us, because if we make them track back and defend and then judge their attacking contribution, then most attackers will struggle.
I think Mane would have been absolutely perfect for us.
He's a good player but not really a priority for us. We need goalscorers the most when you look back at all the chances that have been missed this season. Griezmann should be the main target along with another 20 goal a season striker to play upfront. Once those two players are signed we might look to get a centre back and a defensive midfielder.
Why did they barely scrape a top four spot then?
City are overrated every single season. Pep or no Pep, I don't expect them to dominate under him, and he off soon anyway.
Nowhere does Meltdowns quite like the Caf during transfer season
You saw him twice against Spurs in the CL, what do you think about him?
Sanchez is Bayern bound. Needs something big to happen for him to not sign for them.
All is well then because we're nearly perfect if only Sanchez can make us better.
Embarrassment of a thread now.
You're being overly kind.
People need to relax. Jose has his signings in mind, he knows who he wants.
Sure, its disappointing when a top talent goes to another club, especially a rival, but there are other players who we can sign who will improve us just as much

Wow... You know they just spent 70M EUR on this guy?
And we loose him to for so called more attacking klopp, and get Mkh who plays like a train wreak and looses the ball when pressed trying to be direct when his abilities of being direct is being tested to the core.
Which they dont need and we do.
Some of you are embarrassing this forum. Bunch of kids.
We can't prevent. This isn't a one horse race here. You're playing in the league. You're not the only one with money and top manager. Chelsea and City got money, top manager and CL as well as us. You can't sign everything and leave them the scraps. It's impossible nowadays. No team is going to dominate the league forever as we did under SAF anyway.
The faster you recognize this, the better. We will bring great players, and City and Chelsea will bring great players as well. The one who brought the best players for their system and get his new players performing will win the battle. This will happen each season.
