If Rebic is going to cost 50m, we might as well pay 80m for Pulisic.
Rebic isnt worth more than 30 at the max plus he is crap
Right Winger... Who do we go for?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Wouldn't mind Bofa for the RW...
Please don't take the bait

He's too young/inexperienced for taking the responsibility as a starting RW for us but still is an excellent prospect. Would have loved to have him here as a back up to Lingard/Mata.
I'm very surprised that he hasn't been mentioned more tbh. He's more of a natural right winger than most of the players mentioned here already and looks the kind of player Pep would snap up for City if they weren't already well stocked in wide positions. Although it's very difficult to tell in the Dutch league, he seems quite similar in ability and playing style to somewhere between Douglas Costa, Sterling and Gabriel Jesus (albeit principally a right winger).
Roma have already signed Kluivert from Ajax this summer for the left wing and Neres slightly out-performed him last season, so if Roma are now also turning their attentions to Neres it must be a good omen that they've liked what they've seen from Kluivert so far and believe that Neres would also be very good.
He seems a more interesting prospect to me than Malcom, although perhaps his size and playing style might put Mourinho off him.
(mispost, ignore/delete me)
Then why do you think he's worth £30 million?
Targets in order of preference;
1. Gareth Bale
2. Ousmane Dembele
3. Willian
We could also try looking at playing Sanchez out on the right and just filling a wide spot with another rotational player if Jose/Woody are feeling tight and don't want to splash out.
Word today has it Andre Schurle is moving to Fulham. I think that's a quality signing and if we could have got him on the cheap I'd be happy.

I'd prefer not signing anyone if Willian for 70m is our only option. If only we got Salah last year..
He does mostly play on the left yes. He can play on the right and has made quite a few appearances there, but every time I’ve seen him at Leverkusen he’s been played a a LW or LM
Surprised Lozano hasn't had links to many teams. Is that a good sign? United tend to like to keep their deals quiet, we have been linked with him before and he does seem to be a team player. Exactly the type of player Sir Alex would have bought.
Perisic, just give Jose what he wants, then there can be no complaints.
I was joking about that meltdown involving Malcom, Barcelona and Roma
You are right. He isnt even worth that.
i knowI was joking about that meltdown involving Malcom, Barcelona and Roma
Getting bizarre now.
Could Chong be the problem? We can't sign any young talents in case we impede him, so we're having to only look for ~29 year olds, who Woodward also refuses to overpay for.

We should get Ismaila Sarr if we're looking for a young winger. He has electric pace to go with his dribbling ability and is physically very strong for a 20 yr old.
Yeah he's a very good prospect, but in saying that so is Chong and Jose isn't going to want to rely on raw prospects for the right wing berth. Wouldn't be so bad if we had a experienced player they could fill in for, but Mata and Jesse aren't that great on the right. Would say it certainly needs addressing, either we go with one of the left wing options or we get in a ready made reliable option.
Think Ed will make sure we go for a younger prospect like Sarr instead of Willian or Perisic who are both around 29. I do like Perisic but I would favour a move for Sarr right now...
He needs space to run into to get the best out of him, I'd say he's not quite ready for United as needs to add more to his game to play our right side. Such a good payer to watch though, really gets fans on the edge of their seats. How I miss that with the safety first stuff we're being subjected to for the last several months.
This does seem like the obvious move, apart from maybe Pulisic. Both have lots of resale value and potential but already look good enough to be our starting RW or at least compete with Mata. Hard workers and good enough dribblers out wide without needing to come inside constantly to make an impact, which should suit Mourinho and our need out right.
First they came for Moura, but we didn't do anything. Then they came for Lemar, Mahrez, Malcom, even the Gelsons, and we still didn't do anything.
Then we went for Rebic, and by then there was no one else left to go for.

We seem to like the Fellaini signing strategy a lot. Wait for too long and then go for the shitty, overpriced option on the last day
For example?
Since we still have not addressed some of our weaknesses with only 2 weeks to go, I really don’t understand the waiting... as I said, like we did with Fellaini
I still don't want why we push for that right winger when we have sanchez who can go right and martial or rashford on the left. And with new winger martial will surely be sold. But if jose wants it then in that case give me proven quality. Not new hot prospect.
Bale or willian

No, exactly what I said. Waiting....
Feck me. I've forgotten what a right winger with pace, that crosses looks like.
No. Chong is at least a season away from being PL ready. Plus if he's good enough, and has the right attitude, no matter who we buy, he should be able to prove himself.
Sarr is quite promising sure. But he is quite similar to Rashford in a number of ways. I think if Martial is really going or unhappy I'd start with Sanchez --- Lukaku --- Rashford with an aim of Rashford improving and establishing himself as an attacker from the right... he will likely have to do this for England as well. He is quick, he can cross, he can score, he has some tricks, there would be a little less pressure than being the striker. It could work.
He was one of the names mentioned by Duncan Castles in the Transfer Window podcast - apparently he's among the Willian-alternatives under consideration by United.
Few reports in Spain of Dembele considering his future because Barca bought Malcolm, offer Barca their money back or around that mark and I’m sure they take it and Dembele would have resale value even in 5 years time. It makes so much sense it’s untrue and the prospect of Dembele, Martial, Lukaku and Rashford with their pace and on top form is mouthwatering.
Except for that deal to happen we would definitely sell Martial
I would happily sell Martial for Dembele..
Would we though ? We've got Darmian, a couple of centre backs and fringe players to sell which brings money in and reality is we’ve so far got about a net spend of around £40 million this transfer window.
I don’t see any reason why we’d need to sell Martial to fund Dembele with us likely only to buy Maguire outside of maybe a right sided forward, if we were going to buy Bale regardless of Martial then why would we need to sell Martial to fund Dembele ?
If we have identified some talented young RW options we should invest in the best one. Even if they aren’t an instant success it will improve our options there currently which are terrible.
Buying William for 60-70m or accepting him and a small sum of cash for Martial is what will happen though. Short term it will keep Jose happy but that’s about it.

Transfer Nazis
Can Mehrez track back and defend? No, then he is not jose type player.
I honestly think that woodward would rather bring in a younger player with resale value. I think the Glazers are behind this.
