Final Signing

Its not happening we are done. Good window 4 really good quality signings (De Ligt, Ugarte, Yoro and Mazraoui) and one decent potentially good signing (Zirkzee) with some good young signings too
We didn't add enough to our attack however the overall level of the squad has been improved and we managed to get quite a few players out which is good.

Hopefully we can focus more on the attacking side of the squad in the next window.
 
Still say we should get Rabiot, even when Mount returns you worry about his fitness
 
No need to separate Zirkzee like that.

I felt there was, in terms of the quality of the signing the other 4 are clearly superior to me. Zirkzee has not shown enough as a goal scorer in his career for me to put him in their category, but he has some potential so lets see.
Your not likey to get all your transfers right anyway, in my opinion he was not the right signing given what we needed
 
A very good window for me. Age profile of the signings has been good and in positions we need.

Still work to be done in future windows but there was always going to be. INEOS said that more than once themselves.

Decent window for outs as well albeit with one or two left who ideally might have been shifted. Nonetheless the likes of Eriksen and Lindelof may have some role to play in the Europa group games if we rotate, before we release them in the summer now presumably.

Desperate to see us get Sancho off the books today. Twitchy that might not happen though. We’ll see.

Wouldn’t massively shock me if we still did something with Sterling today but I’m hoping we hold our nerve now. Take stock and go again in Jan if the right opportunity is there.

IF something was going to happen with Sterling in regards to swap then would have heard by now
 
We clearly do need more but I think the aim is to keep that surplus you are referring to. The wages and amortisation fees were out of control and this is the first step to resolve that.

Maybe we take someone on loan if we can offload Sancho but this season we are going to have to make do and then build from there.
Then this season 6th place would Be progress?

Well it would be an improvement for on last season and we may finish higher or lower than that. This window has been about trying to balance improving the squad whilst beginning to get rid of the financial burden left by spending huge fees and wages on players that aren’t good enough.

It’s probably another couple of summers to really sort the squad out and this is just the first step.
 
Lacking a difference maker in the final third, but those don't grow on trees. The team is built for Rashford to get chances, but he doesn't seem like he has it in him to get back to his level of a couple of years ago.
Rashford’s form certainly isn’t helped by Shaw not playing. Certainly need a genuine left back to overlap and play passes using his left foot
 
Still say we should get Rabiot, even when Mount returns you worry about his fitness

He won't be playing enough to get injured if the rest of the attacking players get and stay fit. Back to the Donny role.
