The youth recruitment and the running of the academy is by far the best thing about United recently - it matches the ambitions befitting a big club. He will take a while to get there though and we need a partner for Harry. Your favourite seems to be heading to Liverpool though That was heart breaking when I was alerted of that news earlier and after crying for two hours straight, I'm feeling better now in the hope someone else hijacks the deal..Yes. Tale of two very very different careers.
I know mate
I haven't followed Ben White at all but I have a friend who rates him very highly.
He's definitely someone who would allow us to play a more expansive game, and also allow someone like Pogba to play in a midfield two more regularly according to what I've been told by someone who is very clued up on the technical aspects of the game.
You could be correct about signing a DM over a CB. But for me a CB (with the requisite attributes ) is more important because, otherwise we'll still carry on playing too deep. And signing a DM wouldn't correct that due to the attributes of our current starting CB pairing who aren't the strongest at maintaining a higher line against teams who can transition play quickly. Ideally we need both a CB and a DM, but I think we can get away with just a CB for the coming season with either Fred or McTominay helping Maguire on the turn-over to maintain defensive balance.
I think he is but I haven't seen enough of him too. He appears a bit stocky in build and that insinuates a lack of agility I guess. But definitely a physical advantage to have in teams
Telles was never gonna set the world alight to be fair. Even the Portuguese posters on here didn't think much of him regards making the jump from Liga Nos to the EPL.
With his contract running down and him unwilling to extend per reports, it makes sense that he will go for less than the €30m that's being reported IMO. I've mentioned €20m max before and wouldn't be surprised at all if he is sold for considerably less than the €30m being reported or he'll walk on a free the following season. I can see him leaving for around €15m to €20m or he'll walk on a free.
If we get him for that it is a no brainer for me then as with his attributes and his age we cannot lose.
Do you want to pass on that message to the posters who think we are going to get Haaland in the summer because they think we are
I don't think we could have gambled on Konates fitness, as much as we all know his strengths. I think you're right on the money aspect. It could be Haaland/Sancho/Grealish who we have to spend a pretty penny on getting this summer, not leaving much in the coffers.

It made me laugh with the Sancho saga last year but I think we may go for him this year funny though it may sound ; A reduced price and it sounds like Sancho wanted it to happen last year so possibly he will be forthright in making his feelings known to Dortmund if we go sniffing again.
Agreed on Nathan Collins, he looks to have a very interesting profile and could be a excellent developmental type signing alongside Milenkovic.
I think it's something that Woodward would do, getting Haaland in at that sort of fee that is, and he probably could convince the Glazers to do it if we had a sniff at signing him but we'd be far down his list of preferences because I think he would want his big move to be at a club that has a realistic chance of winning big things like City, Real or PSG.
Make sense now, forgot Fletcher was there!
I’m still konate until he signs for that lot. If he does then obviously he will become an overhyped shit one legged hobbler
Is he the lad from Stoke that Fletcher recommended before?
Yeah if he signs for them it speaks for his injury record. They wouldn’t buy someone else they consider would be on the table so often considering what happened this season
Cheers Adnan, where would you rank him compared to the current options we have, say Lindelof or Bailly? And if he were to join us would you reckon he'd be starting over them both? I wonder also if we will still need a 6.
Potentially he'd be our most rounded CB IMO. He's quick, strong, aerially very dominant and advances play to a good level. There are a few defencies that need to be ironed out on the training ground, which is normal for a young CB like Milenkovic. But I'd expect Milenkovic to oust Lindelof from the team after a settling in period. His contract situation also means that he will be available for a relatively low transfer fee.
Yes, that's the boy. Didn't realise Fletcher recommended him though!
Yeah about 2-3 years ago, how we all laughed
