Of course the big wages are our biggest problem.
We all don't know if it is really true but apparently the price for Flamengo for Pereira is 15m.

So what are we asking for Lingard and the other players?
Exactly the same can be said about Bissouma who Brighton would have apparently sold for around £40m.
And near enough every other player who hasn’t moved. The post-COVID market is still yet to be close to what it was before!
How many times is this going to get bumped without any link to us whatsoever

Same thing with Camavinga and Bissouma threads.
Desperate times.

You’ll never know behind the scenes. No one knew Villa signed Ings until they officially announced it themselves. But then you could be right, United rarely make a signing which goes unnoticed before it really happens because we generate clicks
Can we get him for a fiver a week like Liverpool did with Jota?
Just registering my interest in this thread. Rumours have him as our third option but this is definitely the place to be in my opinion. Camavinga and Saul are the classic smokescreens!
Eh? Our last smokescreen signing was Fred.
Are Wolves ready to sell if we want him? They are letting Adama off to Spurs too, aren’t they? I don’t think they will sell two important players at once from their first team
I'd be surprised if they want to sell two of their best players in the last week of the window.
Frustrating though, as Neves is the one I really want Utd to go for
I’ll level with you, I wasn’t being completely serious. Not sure we’ll actually sign anyone else unless we offload a couple.
He's my preferred pick. Lovely player.
We need to copy Juve's Locatelli deal - two year loan (with no loan fees!), followed by a conditional purchase arrangement.
To be fair. I'm starting to think there is assets he can offer and improve in our midfield. It's his passing and long passing ability. I think the reason why the fans and manager like Ole or Jose initially want Pogba to play in deeper role due to his passing and long passing ability. If that's the reason then it makes sense we sign Ruben Neves. Neves has no physical, flair, and technical gifted anywhere near to Pogba's level but he is much much more discipline than Pogba which suits him to play in deeper role and we can release Pogba in advanced role. I see him like Jorginho.
Anyone thinking United might leave tomorrow's game pass and make late bid for Neves. Given the Portuguese links at the club he could slot in very well.
Never going to buy you now, cnut.
I thought wolves played well - but I've not been that wowed by Neves. Seems an okay player but not great.
I feel that some people will say he is good because wolves played well.

People are right about him being slow.
In a double pivot Neves for us would be no different to playing Pogba there, it’s the Hollywood balls and being ‘Pirlo lite’ that makes people want him but he’s much slower and much less athletic than Pogba whilst being not really any better passing wise.
If we're going to set up like that regularly, he is not the answer.
He does not have to be fast as he knows where to be. He is a dm.
Nope. There has to be someone better out there.
Been saying this Neves is overrated. Except for some occasional wonder goals, he is not that good. Would rather stick with Matic for now.
Bissouma
His passing was crisp. That was enough for me.
Wolves dominated our midfield mate and that was mainly cause of him. If he was swapped and Fred played for Wolves that game we would’ve won it much easier
I just don't really see it.
Aye, thought he played well.
Wolves dominated us completely and not just midfield. That's on Ole. Not on one player.
Our midfield is crap but this guy is not the solution.
I thought he played well.
He wa great today, bossed the midfield. Energy, leadership, good with the ball under pressure and in tight spaces and great forward passes. Just the dm we need to be more cohesive and progressive.
Get him in and we won’t have any weakness across the park
Having someone that understands the game and can reliably move himself and the ball to the right place is automatically a massive upgrade on Fred. Preferrably we'd get someone a bit more dynamic with the same skill set, but Fred's dynamic and I'll take intelligence over whatever Fred is every day of the week. Our midfield is completely incapable of taking control of a game at the moment.
This is a joke. Were you watching the match? Three giveaways by Neves, his one chance he hit straight at DeGea. The chances Wolves created had nothing to do with the midfield. Not saying that our midfield was great, we weren’t, and Fred was bad at times, but to claim our midfield was dominated is just plain crap.
By the way, more convinced than ever that Neves is not the answer. He’s less positionally naive than Pogba, but you still need to pair him with a ball winner. If you can’t play him with Pogba, what’s the point?
Had a good game. His passing in between the lines is something we could use massively.
I was more impressed by Trincao than Neves.
Our midfield was weak rather than they midfield being good.
Mctominay and Fred would have shut their attack down.

Carrick regen. We suddenly found £££ to accommodate Ronaldo. We need a player like Neves. Easiest decision to make this season for Ed Woodward.
