Hazard the only starter so far. That is worrying...
I think Militao has incredible potential. He could be a new Pepe for you, minus the temper.

I think they'll sign Eriksen now he's made his intention to leave clear.Jovic will bench Benzema.
I also think you'll sign one of Pogba/Eriksen.
I may be wrong, but It seems that Pogba wants to leave too. Also, he is the player Zidane wants.I think they'll sign Eriksen now he's made his intention to leave clear.
Solid rebuilding from them. Guess they’ve been saving money (relatively) for a while now.
A centre midfield and a Mbappe (highly unlikely) will win them the CL again.
Di Maria, Falcao, Zlatan (despite his goals, we finished 5th), Schweinsteiger. All big names, highly rated, have generally failed here. Zlatan was the most successful of them.They did the same last summer as we are trying to do now! Buy young players that can potentially replace the marcelo's etc. They signed oRdiozola, vinicius junior and Brahim Diaz. They had also just won the Champions League. 2 disappointing managers later, they realised it was never enough! Hence the big spending this summer.
And we think signing young hungry players will take us places. Can't believe the Alexis Sanchez transfer, one signing changed our whole outlook on transfers! You cannot rely on youth alone! Not even the class of 92 would have been able to do that without marquee players already in the side!
Some on here want to sell Pogba! For the love of god.
Eeeh. So far we got mendy to rotate with Marcelo and Jovic to rotate with Benzema, an 18 year old wonderkid and a 3rd choice CB
Plus Hazard. Ultimately we're still largely banking on the same underperformers to stop underperforming...
about the sales, we can get, more or less:
Raúl de Tomás=20
Ceballos=40
Lucas=25
Llorente=30
Isco=70?
Bale=50?
Borja Mayoral=10
James=40?
Kovacic=40

Vinicius was signed years ago, and it wasn't in the plans for him to become a first team player last year, but he found a spot due to circumstances.They did the same last summer as we are trying to do now!

Which in particular?, I thought I had gone below the sale price.Those are some very optimistic figures. I don't think you'll get anywhere near those sums.

Can they afford this 300 million outlay without selling anyone?
Please tell me you are joking. The window hasn't even started yet and we've already bought 3-4 players we needed ffs.Eeeh. So far we got mendy to rotate with Marcelo and Jovic to rotate with Benzema, an 18 year old wonderkid and a 3rd choice CB

Bale and Llorente stood out the most.
As for the others, everyone knows you need to sell (even if not for the money but just for squad size) which always means you get less.

I’m pleased you’ve said this because I had a similar feeling. Militao isn’t likely to get in ahead of Varane and Ramos. Mendy must be some sort of player if he’s to displace a left back as good as Marcelo. Jovic isn’t exactly what I’d call a superstar in the mould of an Aguero or Kane, albeit he may improve upon (a forever) underestimated Benzema.
Hazard is obviously a brilliant addition and helps plug the Ronaldo-sized hole in the team, but I can’t help but think that, for £300 million, there isn’t actually that much improvement to the first team.
That may change as these players develop, of course, and become a better investment over time. But I wouldn’t be too quick to use Madrid as the yardstick from which you denigrate United. Madrid have made mistakes, too. This isn’t a pop at you, by the way; it’s directed at those mouth-breathers that get all worked up over United and its transfer business.
While that theory is true on paper, we did manage to sell Di Maria, Ozil and Morata for good money, although everyone knew we were going to it anyway.Bale and Llorente stood out the most.

Have you seen Marcelo last season? Possible that he gets his shit together again, but if not he won't be hard to displace.Mendy must be some sort of player if he’s to displace a left back as good as Marcelo.
At the moment our team for next season(excluding the players who appear to be on the out) is courtois, dani/odriozola, varane/militao, ramos/nacho, marcelo/mendy, case/valverde, modric/kroos, isco, hazard/rodrygo/brahim, benzema/jovic, vini/asensioPlease tell me you are joking. The window hasn't even started yet and we've already bought 3-4 players we needed ffs.
It's really no surprise some people call us spoiled fans.

Oh yeah, you're right.6th actually and it wasn’t even close. We finished 6 points behind Arse in 5th. You’re thinking of the season before.
Still not sure why so many regard that as successful. While Kane got 29 in the league, Zlatan got 17. And that’s with prime Pogba feeding him.
We would definitely be better, but I don't think it'd have been a magic fix. Our biggest problems have been mentality and attitude I think.Don't you think that our 6 years of obscurity has been down to neglecting the right side of our non functioning system? If we had a better balance we would be all the better for it!

That's debatable, we won't find it out until a couple of years later as some of these acquisitions are pretty young. Like in 4 years time Militao might prove to be better than de Light, or Jovic do more good than Griezmann. Or they might have been sold.Your summer would be very good if Barcelona weren't buying De Jong, De Ligt and Griezmann. Spending nearly half a billion euros on new players in one window only to see your main rivals buy the better players is hardly ideal.
Think he's correct for most.Bale and Llorente stood out the most.
