Not that it means much but... As if it was needed to be highlighted, here is "SKY's" rating imminent deals nearly done today at 19:00, 5 being complete. I am not sure but i think there is an elephant in the room outstanding by its absence.
Starting to become clearer why sky show us so negatively and who they may favour. Its actually their top story on the website yet not rated as nearing completion. The mind boggles.

As of this moment anyhow
Considering we're after four full-backs I'd say we're sorting that out. Or at least trying to.
If Griezman is going to sign some time soon, Lukaku
love it, and yes just wait and see Lukaku #30goals
How is Costa going to join Atletico if this is for the summer?

It's incredible frustrating to see any concern dismissed with what amounts to "he scored lots of goals". Even when you're specific about your concerns, some still come back with "we need goals, he scores them."
Chelsea need to hurry up and save us from ourselves.
He can sign with them and not be registered until January.
So still not actually complete yet?
Loving the meltdown over on the Shed End forum
"We should pull the Matic rug from under them over this!"
Oh, boo hoo
This one?
Their fans forget the amount of gazumping they have done over recent years. feck me.
Having a beast of a striker up top isn't a bad concept, even with some technical limitations we can make it work by surrounding him by industrious players. For example I'd really want to see in action this formation.
-----------Lukaku-----------
Perisic-----Pogba----Mkhitaryan
-----Herrera----CDM---------

I hope to God they do pull the matic rug.This one?

To be fair Shed End seems reasonable bar one or two posts. Grand Old Team is having much more of a "meltdown".
me too tbh

The Willian move was incredibly vile. Spurs had organized the medical, didn't they?
Love a good center forward signings and with Lukaku we know exactly what we are getting he will score goals its just a matter of how many.
Alot of posters are saying he has a bad first touch yeah he's not Messi but it's not as bad as some are making it out to be.
Im chuffed we'll be getting a striker who has been in the top 3 goal scorers in the EPL for 5 seasons running,only aguero has scored more can' t really ask for more tbh.

I love Zlatan but he was slow AF and after his injury we played better and faster attacking football and won EL without him.
If you seriously think we would do better in PL/CL this season with Zlatan instead of a more powerful and much faster striker then that is your opinion but i am happy if we can get Lukaku cause Zlatan annoyed the hell out of me many times last season cause he slowed down our attacks many times and missed way more big chances than anyone.
Quote from the Shed-End.
They are not happy about a sugardaddy financed and constructed club as us taking Lukaku from them. I can understand their despair seeing as clubs like ours are a nuisance to the historical giants like themselves.
Willian? What about Mikel?The Willian move was incredibly vile. Spurs had organized the medical, didn't they?
Such a shit club. Would rather support Liverpool than that Russian financed manufactured hole.
Any butthurt Chelsea fans over this need to be reminded of how they signed Robben and Mikel. They're well overdue us screwing them over in the transfer market
Unless you buy one of Nainggolan or Vidal, or play Mkhitaryan in midfield, no balance whatsoever there.
At least it wasn't on the last day, was it?
He can , just not play untill jan 1st
I hope we'll sign both Lukaku and Morata (and forget about Perisic). That plus Fabinho will make the window for me.
Exactly Point to Point.
Exellent assesment.Fergie's gambling instinct was the thing which made it Absolutely rocking. That is why Fergie time existed and that's why we scored so many late goals and never gave up until the very end. Mourinho is not the clone of fergie but he thinks the same in lots of ways and that's why he has won the league and won every where in the world, and can Use some of the same Dynamics in Posession while in attack To make us better against all the smaller teams we drew last year as our transition was never resulting in some counter attacking dynamics.
Alsowhat you said about the european Philosophies being antidote to the fergie way was one of the exact reasons for Him being an under achiver in the european competions. Its a Key Paradox and difference between the PL and CL.
But one thing I would like to add in this is the Education and Play style Lvg Set up in two years for united and built his Foundations on was exactly that same european Philosophies and principles Of possesion based system. A high press and High line helps in recovering the ball in a proactive way which contributes in defense in a better way and wins back the ball proactively in the midddle itself
And Mourinho after the 3 defeats realized that and adapted to the same tactics and philosophies, so we found all the smaller teams park the bus against us. If we Play the same way this season like last season with a Mobile attacking focal point and Also add some same fergie /mourinho Direct counter attacking dynamics in the build up and play a Mix of Possesion based Principles while adding directness and faster transition In posession When Required to score goals and create more space The goal scoring problems can be solved , While Having to Be proactive and high press in defense to win the posession back in the middle itself without having to drop a deep line defense will see us getting to a better level in european stages as well against top class european sides too because this team is capable of doing that with High pressing midfeilders like Herrera and Pogba Or a new DM and also defenders who can play a high line in bailly and lindelof with ball playing abilities in posession Like a Pep or klopp team does or barcelona or real madrid or bayern do too because of those similar possession based principles. They executed it better because they had great player to do so in the midfeild , Which i belive we also have.
Lol, Watford 3rd, never gonna happen.
Woah woah woah. Let's not lose the run of ourselves here . They are both Cnuts. Wouldn't it be beautiful if this went through and he scored the winner against them Next year
The reason he missed so many chances is because we created so many more chances than anyone else. It also doesn't take into account how good/easy those chances were. These stats are so pointless when people use them without context.
I mean Ibra scored 28 goals for us in all comps last season, how many goals did people expect him to score honestly? In Fergie's last season Van Persie scored 30 goals in all comps, Ibra only got 2 less and that was with being injured for the last 1/2 months of the season...
We didn't come 6th because Zlatan didn't score 50 goals last season. Obviously he isn't the most clinical but he's no worse than any of the other top strikers - guys like Higuain, Cavani, Lewa, Suarez etc all miss lots of chances too. For us the stats look worse because no one else in the team was scoring and so his gets highlighted but in reality he probably did as well as anyone could expect. Trust me other top strikers miss easy chances too that's just the nature of being a striker and having a lot of chances in front of goal
Thanks! Relief knowing that.
exactly and a missing out on of one Ronaldinho, I fcukin hate Peter Kenyon. Hate Him!
Its Not rare anymore with Pep Klopp and wenger in this league and teams like bayern barca and madrid in europe. Its a key paradox and key difference between teams and philosophies you face in this league in smaller teams compared to top 4 in the current era. and this is what united have to adapt to in certain situations playing when playing against certain philosophies.
Think we had rumors of pogba doing his medical all over the place last summer
This transfer reminds me of Pedro. He was linked to us all the time, then out the blue Chelsea was linked and it was done. feck you Chelsea! Welcome to our Pedro pain.
Welcome to our Pedro pain.Nobody knows how well he will or won't perform!! Nothing is a given, ever. Remember Shevchenko? Everyone thought he'd rip up the prem. Same as Falcao - but they didn't.
What do we know? He's big, young, fast and has always scored goals.
Will he score the same amount? Who knows. But we do know he knows the prem, knows Pogba's play from France, and is an international in a good side.
Compared to our current set of strikers and who's actually available out there, he's not a bad shout!

wooow, yeeees, we won Champions League, well, we will, 4 times, la. And Darmian assists. Great.
Done deal according to Di Marzio.
Except Morata wasn't playing, that is my point. Lukaku has played regularly for five years banging in goals for WBA and Everton. Juventus took Morata on loan for a season, did not play him, and chose not to buy him. You seem to be missing the point.
