Manchester United - January Ins and Outs

Looks almost certain the Memphis and Schneiderlin will both go and I still think Schweini will head off to the US. Darmian seems like he'll get a stay of execution until the summer but I could see Young heading off to Watford or West Brom.

I'm still hoping we get a CB in, our LB situation is also far from in top shape but I'm guessing we'll muddle through with Darmian and Blind while we see if Shaw can get himself into gear.

Don't forget CBJ too.
 
We have such a big squad that we don't need to buy in the limited january market. Let a few like Schneid and Depay leave, and then wait until summer until the quality required becomes available.

If Zlatan, Pog and Mkhi has thought us anything it is that our shopping in the pound shop should be over and done with, get the best or potential best.
 
Get rid of Young asap god dammit, he's on 70-90k a week doing nothing.
 
I think we need a cm, the three we are currently playing are so influnetial but we don't have any adequate competition or cover for any of them.
 
If by some miracle, we can get our hands on a quality attacker and a DM, in case Carrick gets injured, we would be golden.

I disagree. We'll have so many games from january till the season end. FA cup starting, Europa League where I expect us to try to win it. League cup games. We need depth and Young is able to cover 2-3 positions in the team. He'll be needed and will certainly get some games.

As for Schneiderlin, if we are really getting 24 million punds for him from Everton, we should let him go. Same goes for Depay. If we get anything in vicinity of 40 million combined we should be pretty happy with that. Bastian will be gone as well...those three leaving will trim the squad closer to the size that Jose would like to have along with trimming the wage bill and getting us some nice amount of cash.

We are probably going to bring him back in January but I think we'll loan him straight out again.

Yes, the midfield is vital to how we are building this team, the lack of cover for Herrera and Carrick is huge, it's not possible to find another Pogba as such but there are a few high energy, quality box to box players we could bring in to cover Ander while Ander covers Carrick.

I think we have good young talent who can become squad players in Pereira and Fosu-Mensah. Fellaini obviously needs to go, and nobody knows what he is anyway. Wherever he plays, you have those stating 'he's not being played in his right position'.
 
How long you guys reckon Ander and Carrick can keep going like this ? They are so vital for us, it's frankly frightening to imagine losing either of them to fatigue or worse, injuiry. Definitely need another CM, unless Jose expects Fellaini and Bastian to do the job. Shame Morgan can't even get a look in.

It's a good point, our depth options in midfield are shite. I'd even consider playing Bailly in midfield over some of the clowns we have.

Bailly could be worth a shout.However, I don't know if we should him move around the pitch from CB to RB one day, then to CDM on another, and back to CB again. Had a bad impact on Jones's progression(along with those injuiries).
 
2 are out for sure in memphis and schniderlin. Maybe bastian will go too. Think we will only buy one unless bastian also leaves. if he does we may buy a cm.
 
Hopefully Fellaini will rebel about his 5 minutes per game cameo and he would leave too
 
isn't it Ironic that the players Mourinho wants out were all bought by LVG.

Memphis, Schniederlin, Schweinsteiger ect.

Not really, since he's keeping Herrera, Blind, Martial, Rojo, Darmian... Not sure if Shaw can also be counted as a buy by LVG. He probably had something to say in that deal

He is a big part of the dressing room and can fill in in many different positions. He can step aside for the youngsters in a season or so, but for now he is a reliable squad player.
 
Fellaini is 29? I really didn't know that.
 
Fellaini, Depay, Schweini and Schneiderlin might all leave. The rest, I dont think so. However, should we sell these players, we'd need at least another midfielder which I doubt we get in January
 
We absolutely must sign a new Carrick. He's been vital to our resurgence but he can't keep going every game.

No idea who though and January probably won't be the time.
 
First Mcnair and now Fellaini, Depay and co. What's next Rojo and Jones? Soon enough I won't have anybody to post against
 
If we can sell Memphis and Schneiderlin to Everton and get rid of Fellaini, while doing the double deal with Benfica it would be a pretty good window.
 
Apparently Fellaini has been seen in Milano alongside his twin brother.

Hopefully something comes of this, I wonder which Milan club is more likely, right now AC Milan are starting a mini revival so they might not want top set themselves back.
 
If we let Fellaini, Schneiderlin, Depay and Schweinsteiger go, we're going to be leaving ourselves short in the midfield area.

Surely we'd have someone else lined up.

Why would any team outside the EPL want Fellaini is beyond me. Not to mention it's more technical league and ffs he's being linked with Milan and Inter!
 
I think we can get 80-90 million by selling dead wood. If we are able to sell them that is
Morgan -20 Million
Memphis-15 million
Fellaini- 15 million
Darmian- 12 million
Rojo - 12 million
Young- 5 million
Rooney - 20 million to china or free and no wages hopefully
Januzaj - 15 million

Add to that savings in wages(only rooney and bastian take away 500k/week). If we are able to sell all of them we will be in for a huge huge overhaul in next two transfer windows.

Surely not all of them in January? The way Rojo's been playing i reckon 12 million would be a bargain for anyone.

Well Rojo and Darmian will not be sold.
