Yeah, I know. The possibility is there, but the amount of money involved would be a bit crazy.
Neville: Varane, Sancho, Kane
- Thread starter Inigo Montoya
- Start date
Yeah, they seem to be the club with best recruitment policy and scouting network in PL. But they also have top owner who cares for the club.
I was just stating how pointless are those comments from Gary Neville. No team is getting Varane, Sancho and Kane in one summer. And almost every would probably challenge for title with those 3 in their team.
Except Arsenal
Neville is a joke and should know better, I don't care who is in charge, unless your being bankrolled by a oil rich person, I don't expect no club to be able to throw that kind of money around this summer.
Moyes was right in recent interview with talksport where he had a go at pundits and the media of putting out there unrealistic spending power of clubs during this covid period

What, he’s not entitled to an opinion as to who he’d like to see at Utd?
You heard right - he is not a demi-god - definitely a good player but not critic-proof!
- He makes too many dumbfounding blind passes or unnecessary hollywood balls for a pro
- Does not hold his position and therefore does not provide a constant central outlet for CMs, this makes McFred take the heat
- He is not comfortable in tight spaces and therefore does the following:-
- He is either playing as a supporting striker, or;
- Playing hide and seek in the wing to receive the ball in space before he crosses it, or;
- When he receives the ball in tight spaces, his first instinct is to wait for contact, then dive so that he takes the free-kick
- He wants to break with forwards instead of providing an outlet to progress the ball
To me the list should be:
1. Varane
2. Grealish instead of Sancho
3. Haaland instead of Kane

Isn’t Neville still crying that we haven’t been given a points deduction though?
Varane was dodgy this season in games I saw him. Why do you think Real are considering letting him go without a fight?
Just one example...
Just one example...
I would think a central midfielder would be more important than Kane.
We can play Cavani, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial (if he stays) up front. We need a proper Cavani replacement but for now, that above is enough cover in my opinion.
We can't be starting Fred next year. Rice maybe? Or someone else. Anyone. I don't care.

Number 3 I would take either maybe even a Lewa or Benzema too if they were available but totally agree with the rest, the biggest problem with Jack in our boards eyes is that he just hasn't proved himself on the RW ever in the Premier League
Neville is living in la la land as usual if he thinks this will happen.
Could imagine if Maguire or Lindelof did either of those?
I'm not sure on Varane but I do want a top CB, doesn't seem there are many around.
Why WOULDNT you want to replace him after watching every game he has played this season.
At the end of the day, we could sign a prime messi and ronaldo, if the coach is not up to it, we wont do well. I am not suggesting Ole isnt up to it (i still back him) but the coach is most important.
Surprised people think we'll get any of the three.
Were they not around last summer to witness our attempts?

not in a million years, 100% just Glazer spin right before fans forum. Maybe, just maybe 100 mil NET spend, but I don’t even believe that
Striker will be cheap id say like Ings. Winger will be Sancho. We will try for Rice as DM but probably wont get him. CB will either be Varane, Torres or Kounde. RB could be tripper.
Day Tripper? One way ticket if you ask
Me
We should sign Messi, Mbappe and Oblak while we're at it.
Neville should attend the meeting on Jun 4th and tell Joel that this needs to be done.
I used to love watching Fantasy Football League with Baddiel and Skinner and PJ Statto.
Sancho looks to be the most likely signing. He seems to be the club's priority aswell. Maybe if they can't sign him they'll go for Kane if other club doesn't sign Kane first.
And then, I think Varane is the most unlikely to come.

Dortmund seem happy to sell Sancho this summer. I would make us favourites for him.
Kane unfortunately is a great fit for City.
Varane I am not at all sure about. Would not be a huge shock if he joined us.

More realistic is Sancho, Pau Torres and Danny Ings

I'd take Kounde over Varane. Kounde's combative style soothes any fears I have about him being able to adapt to the Premier League's physicality. He takes the initiative, which is a plus when paired with Maguire. Maguire is a bit passive as a defender (as he should be given his lack of pace if someone gets past him) and Lindelof is even more passive, and this often causes problems in our defence. Kounde is also less of a risk in my eyes because he's 22. Even if he doesn't work out, he'll still have plenty of resale value.
Reckon that would take about £235m gross, so something like
Ings £20m
Sancho £80m
Rice £65-£70m
Varane/Torres/Kounde £50m
Trippier £15m
Since its crazy season, we should sign Grealish Sancho (two great wingers)
Pau Torres/Varane/Lucas Hernandez (cb)
Camavinga/Ndidi/Kante (dm)
Pavard/Hakimi/Kimmich (rb)
Total net spend about 400m
If the Glazers can get us those 11 players and we can keep everyone else then ill forgive their indiscretions regarding the ESL and the money they take out the club. Even Ole could win a cup or league with that depth on the bench

I'm not sure why people say Sancho is the priority. Call me crazy, I'm very happy with Greenwood on the right wing. He will develop more next season.
Our priority should be a top class striker (Haaland/Kane), top creative midfield (grealish) and top CB (Varane).

Is this Gary playing kill, kiss marry?
Peter Lim's mate
Hmm 150m for 5 players that can improve our team/squad? That is very optimistic thinking. Are we expecting big money for Pogba?
Holy shit.
We need Rice or Ndidi as well. Those 4 players are the minimum we need to properly challenge city. They will cost and absolute fortune though. My guess is close to 400m. We could potentially raise 100m of that by selling Lingard, Fred, Ballie, James. But even if we did we still aren't gonna cough up the remaining 300m.
Relax, guys! I see figure like 200, 300 and even 400m nett. Have we taken over by Saudi or any oil rich state?
Realistically, I think we should be happy with 100m to 150m nett. Glazers has his debts to service and we are still in the midst of pandemic.

I agree with Neville, makes sense but as others have posted 1 of the 3 getting signed would be a result never mind all three.
I think we will cut our cloth accordingly this summer and we will have to compromise on signings in some areas.
I suppose if Utd brought in Tripper at RB and Ings as ST on the cheap that would save alot of the budget. No idea about who a realistic DM would be (Rice isn't realistic as hammers would want a stupid fee ala £70mil or something). CB would be good to get a tough mobile CB and not a spainish pansy like pau torres who is the Spainish lindelof, who himself is the swedish pansy. Right wing is obviously Sancho but that will be another saga that will drag on.

Key positions for me are cb and defensive midfilder, then right winger, then right back, then striker.
I'd love to see Varane, Rice, Sancho, Tripier and Haaland if I was in dreamland. I would settle for Varane, Rice, Sancho and Tripier. Cavani staying a year is a game changer abd Martial will be back too (who knows what type of season he will have).0

Lingard should get 30m, De Gea 40m and then im stuck. Good point!
i agree 100 percent with Garry Neville
