Very pleased to see Erik has the right priorities, we need to get the spine of the stronger. Fullbacks can wait:
Maybe he caught some of the Brighton game where championship players walked through the entire middle of the park like it was a friendly against high school kids
I’m glad EtH has got both Mitchell van der Gaag and Steve McClaren confirmed.
Everything coming together
Everything coming together
Need Jaap Stam. And for McClaren to help nature along before I have full confidence in the bald revolution
If McClaren shaves his head does that become our version of the holy Trinity??
ETH and Gaagmaster
Impressed to see him taking action less than 24 hours after winning the league, clearly fully focused on Utd now which is music to our ears.
How do you think journalism works?
Conte has won the league while both were here.
Im going to guess after todays meeting we should start to see transfer activity really ramp up which is the exciting thing for me
Strikers.
Think it will be new player, Ronaldo, One of McNeill, Hugill or Garnacho and Rashford.
Think he will work with Rashford to bring back the player we all saw a couple of years ago. Especially now that the virus is gone.

Pretty sure majority our matches are like that anyway. I'm glad that I see CB and 2 midfielders as part of the priority list.Maybe he caught some of the Brighton game where championship players walked through the entire middle of the park like it was a friendly against high school kids
Conte won the league in the 2016-17 season. Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015 and Pep joined City in 2016. Back then, Liverpool didn't have the team they have now and Pep also needed a year to adjust to the league. Now it's a completely different scenario. Just look at both the teams now. No one can get close to their level in the league.
Yeah I reckon so
Plugging that canyon wide gap in the middle isn't a bad place to start. Plus hell yes we need a versatile or modern forward as Rangnick says. Our other forwards play like specialists. The modern frontline needs at least one swiss army knife that does more than score. Ole was a bit of a dinosaur in how he saw strikers. Even Greenwood was turning into a specialist forward.
Had it not been for implants he’d be follicly challenged, it’s a sign
Too many bald people, my eyes.
That’s quite an offensive post! Keep those words in your mouth!
Jokes aside, I genuinely have get a tad confused trying to differentiate between all the bald people
Not sure how or why Ole is dragged into this. He got the best out of Marcus, knowing he's not the best service provider and cannot play on the right. Also got the best out of Martial as a center forward. Greenwood was developing a better overall game as a right forward and had time on his side to move into a center forward role. Then everything went to shit.
But this shouldn't be surprising as EtH is a football nut. He also had to prepare himself about the squad for his interviews. So he knows a bit more about the squad and type of player needed than what is being let on.
Is Van de Gaag confirmed?
How are we going to buy our 4 targets for 150m?
De Jong 65m
Kamara 0m
Timber 40m
Nkunku 70m
That’s probably the closet thing we could do.

Or he could have rested on his laurels and taken a month off following it up by overtraining players.. you know
That would be great business, so it won't happen.
^ this.
Papers reporting what we apparently want after the meeting yesterday and people are lapping it up like it’s gospel.
Unless the attendees are leaking, or the journalists are using listening devices, they have as much idea as we do of whom we are targeting.
There both massive upgrades on what we’ve got, FDJ would transform our cm while de light is massive upgrade on Maguire although I’d prefer pau Torres to him If I’m being honest
I agree, although we still need to be able to score goals and can’t just rely on Ronaldo. We’d draw a lot of games 0-0 if we just had a solid defence and no midfielder or attack to score and create chances.
I hope he has that madman inside of him. If certain players refuse his instructions or disrespect him I hope he gives them his own version of "hairdryer".
Because of the mistakes in how he built the squad. Getting the most out of players counts when it's in a format that's sustainable for long term success. We bandaided problems for so long. When it comes to modern forwards Rashford would post nice stats but Ole's barebones tactics would reinforce his weaknesses ie teamwork, passing and anything team related. Now that Ole has gone it's become obvious he has nothing in his bag outside of running and shooting. Rashford never developed his team based skills and it will probably plague him for whatever might be left of his United career. Strikers being extremely greedy is a dinosaur concept from era's past. These days teams play front 3s not 442s with specialists.
With our midfield we played a deep lying counterattack that hid just how deficient our midfield were at supporting a high line. He thought he could just play one way for 2 years while rebuilding for a totally different style. If the goal was to play proactively it wasn't a very well built midfield in any shape or form. ETH now has to patch it asap.

Yeah he probably won't have one to use tbf
If the troublemakers are gone.
And he's bald, so not much use for one really.
He was on the strategic meeting with EtH, McClaren and Murtough so seems pretty much done
No bald shaming our next legend.
If McClaren shaves his head does that become our version of the holy Trinity??
Exellent. A versitile attacker makes much more sense than a common number 9 this summer when we still have Ronaldo. Molding a functional midfield and defence should be the priority. Chasing Nunez makes zero sense with a limited budget imo. I still hope we can find a cheaper fullback as well for around 15-25 million. A young promising one shouldnt cost that much imo. If not a number 9 and fullbacks can be the priorities for the next transfer window.

“You WILL wear it. You’ll wear it and you’ll like it.”
We surpassed Liverpool's level a mere 12 months ago......just saying.
Both are miles ahead of us but they can be caught. Hopefully ETH is the man to do it.
I don't think the forwards have to be versatile.
Salah isn't. Aguero wasn't. Benzema, Lewandowski?
They just have to go really good at that they do and compliment each others styles.
That's what I'm hoping these recruitment meetings produce.
