I hope Jose has enough sense not to anger the fans by bringing in either/both of Joe Hart or John Terry with the excuse being 'cheap, English and experienced'. I'd resent either of those knobs wearing our shirt, and could never get behind either - repulsive blokes, the pair of them. And washed up, to boot.
Players you don't want United to sign this Summer
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Hart, Lukaku , Bale.
Trouble is he suits the managers style perfectly. Not mine, as I neither want him or like the negative way we play.
For many different reasons I wouldnt like to see us sign most of the players we are currently linked with such as Handanovic, Barkley, Lukaku, Griezmann, James, Michael Keane. SOme arent good enough and are over rated, some are square pegs in round holes.
James Rodriguez - Very good player and I do think he is an upgrade on current options, but it just isn't a deal worth doing when there are far more pressing issues with the team.
Hart, Schmeichel - If DDG leaves, I want to see us buy a top goalkeeper like Oblak. Those two don't fit that criteria.
Lindelof - Admittedly, I've hardly seen him play. But based on what I have seen and heard, he doesn't sound like the caliber we should be after.

There's been players in the past I haven't wanted United to sign (Smith and Owen from memory) but you come to accept them as one of our own. The only player I don't want the club to sign is Schmeichel and there's a few reasons. 1) I think he is one of the main culprits into getting Ranieri sacked at Leicester. 2) As I have mentioned on here before he comes across as a bit mouthy and out on the pitch he's very quick to blame others. 3) He would be a massive downgrade on De Gea and I wouldn't even place him in the top five best keepers in the league.
Mbappe. Massive fee and a massive gamble. James rodriguez has a di maria mk 2 about him as well. Will be pretty demotivated from rejection and being overlooked for years.
James Rodriguez
This thread is fecking gold. Amongst the players listed that fans don't want to sign are:
Kroos
Bale
Neymar
Muller
James
Griezmann
Lukaku
Mbappe
Seriously don't know what's wrong with some of you.

I can understand why some don't want a few of the players on that list but Neymar?? That's just absolutely mental. Worst thing is that he's mentioned multiple times too.
Well lukaku is the only one I wouldnt want for sure as he isnt consitently godo enough and doesnt seem a United type player either. Of the others they are all quality so hardly be dissapointed if we did but I can see reasons why for some:
Kroos - Ok other than buying from Real Madrid I cant see any, would fit in perfectly
Bale - As above , but he turned us down for them and his injury record isnt great either
Neymar - Erm why wouldnt anybody want him?
Muller - He is irritating and not sure where he would fit in to the side
James - Again not sure where he fits in, unless possibly a Lampard type role, cant see him out wide
Griezmann - The fee, the wages, the apparent reluctance of him wanting to come with CL football and again where does he fit in
Lukaku - No thanks
Mbappe - One season in and he is suddenly superman. Does look to be the real deal. Thing is we have similar players in Rashford and Martial, why spend 100m on a very similar player?
Don't waste your time and energy on attention seekers and contrarians
Keane
Dier
Lukaku
Rodriguez
Dier
Lukaku
Rodriguez
James and Bale. The former isn't really all that and I don't know where he fits in to our lineup and the latter is too injury prone. Also because signing anyone from Madrid would open doors for DeGea to leave, and James/Bale are not worth it.
Only players I'd have from Madrid for Degea are Kroos, Marcelo, Varane and Ronaldo obviously.

Everyone says Bale turned us down. He explained that Utd came in too late for him, we even outbid them with a 125m bid... one Spurs didn't want to sell to us especially after Bebatov and Carrick, plus he had is heart on the Madrid deal with was almost completed when we went in for him.
I can understand some.
Neymar because he is a cheating basterd.
Müller because he wouldn't be able to replicate his former Bayern glories at our team, would be pretty lost i reckon...
James i understand fully...lazy soft boy. He even said that he doesn't want to go to the Prem because it's too hard for him, when he joined Real (well, at least he is sincere)
Lukaku is too one-dimensional for a team that wants to win the CL, which we surely want in 3-5 years..for such a big player his hold-up game also isn't anything to be proud of..
The rest..mh. Must be personal opinions i guess
Lukaku
James
Bakoyoko

Keane and Dier
John Terry
I agree that we shouldn't sign him but that description doesn't fit Di Maria at all. He came off a season where he was arguably Real Madrid's best player.
Keane and Dier.
I get that we love a youth product but, being completely honest, would Keane even be in the running without his United connection. I don't see any difference between him and a host of other good but not great CBs in the PL.

Not sure to be honest... Mediocrity for anything but backup positions i suppose.
If we sign James, Lukaku or even Dier, we'd still get good to great players so after that for me it would be down to how Mourinho get them to gel as a team.
Not saying some signings wouldn't make me question if it's the right move, but it would still be down to how the manager gets the team to play.
Edit: I'd actually be disappointed with signing a GK. It would mean we're selling De Gea after all.

Few players I have seen people talking about that I do not want to join Manchester United this summer.
Lukaku - Everton will want a lot of money for him, around £50-60million I'm guessing, which I think is way too much for a player that doesn't turn up to big games, don't get me wrong he is a good striker, but not the complete striker United need. We need a player that can score against the top 6 and Lukaku has not shown that.
Matic / Dier - I believe there are other central midfielders we can buy that can hold the ball up, to me if we buy Matic / Dier then may as well just get rid of Carrick, because they are pretty much alike. Would prefer United to buy Fabinho from Monaco.
Mbappe - Monaco would want a huge asking price for this guy, and we already have Rashford, what's the point out-casting the lad for someone that has developed a bit faster. Waste of money and would prefer Griezmann, who is still young and will help Rashford develop a lot more, to become the complete striker.
James - He has potential but a risk player in my opinion, he'll either be class or terrible. Not worth the money Real Madrid will ask for to be honest, as he cannot fit into their starting XI. Also, Mata will never be played if he comes, and the difference between these two players is that Mata has proved himself in the premier league and is consistent.
Kroos - Don't get me wrong, he is a class midfielder, but quite slow, and I believe there are better options. Herrera and Pogba should stay as the central two just ahead of a more defensive midfielder (Fabinho). No need for Kroos. But heck, I'd swap him for Fellaini if that is possible?
Hart - Never. Makes too many mistakes, and because we'd be buying from Manchester City, they'd want a higher buying price. There are many other options for United. Romero as proved himself and in my opinion he's better than Hart. We also have Pereira, who has potential and a good game against Crystal Palace last Sunday. Never rated Hart, and never will.
Those are my thoughts anyway.

Good point. I bet some would even say no to Messi.
Dier- Overpriced, overated. Just a tall, strong, dirty player which Mourinho likes but not what we want to see at Man United.
James Rodriguez or Bernardo Silva - no need for either of them with Mata and Mikhi. I couldn't care less how close José and Mendes are, we don't need his clients forced upon us. Semedo can be thrown into this bracket too.
Kasper S - Would be a hard act to follow for anyone if DDG gets him move but I don't think Kasper is any better than Hart, Mignolet or Cech.
Danny Rose/Bertrand - Overpriced, overated. Shaw potentially better than either if given a chance.

Greizeman, Schmeichel, Hart, Rodriguez, Keane
If United do get him, you have to trust our manager as he was one of his players when he was at Real. Mourinho will know him inside out.
If we were about to sign Maguire or Gibson everyone would be asking if we have turned into a midtable club but they are just as good or is it average? as Keane. But Keane is a youth product so it's fine
Mourinho left Real in 2013, James joined in 2014.
Dier, naingolan, fabinho, matuidi. Basically don't really understand why any of those players are so highly rated.
Barkley, Lukaku, any other overrated english league talent.
Imagaine signing Bale or Neymar and some of you being unhappy 
Kroos would be a brilliant signing. I think a midfield with Pogba-Kroos in front of Herrera and we'd have a real chance to win the Prem even with issues in attack. That's a ton of passing ability in a midfield 3.
Kroos and Danny Rose would be phenomenal signings for us. Those are the two positions which are absolute musts to sort out and they are ideal for the roles.
I wouldn't want us to sign Dier. I think he's a decent player but he will be too expensive for what is, essentially, a player who can't get in Spurs' first choice midfield.

Not massively keen on Michael Keane, is he any better than a fit Phil Jones?
Yeah it's so silly. Only Muller out of them would I not be massively keen on. Some people on here think Herrera is the same level as Kroos the way they talk.
