I can’t wait for Mina to sign for Everton or Lyon so I never have to see another bullshit link about him again.
 
3 more days and the window will close and we'll rest of all these rumors, even if the window was overall underwhelming.

Our wages to turnover is the lowest in the league, by some distance, why do we need to sell before we buy?

Because our squad is already pretty full, buying more players for the sake of it is not good squad building. If the right players are not available, then I would hope we rather not spend because idiots like Weat Ham are pissing their money up the wall.

We literally have no right winger, and only two permanent full backs in the entire squad. I agree about not spending on stupid options, but there are many players who could do a great job for United on the right wing and full back, even players we can get for less than 30m.

Yes but our squad is big, we need to get rid of players before bringing those players in. It should have been done a month ago.

And again, if the manager does not fancy them then it is pointless signing them. He seems happy to keep Valencia and Young as our starting FBs, and as for RW we can play Sancez there. He has played RW previously so its not like we have no option there.

Right, but with our current wages to turnover being the lowest in the league, we can certainly bring players in now (urgently, given the 48-hour deadline) and then focus on selling for the rest of the month.

And if this is true (which it might very well be) I hope the press absolutely crucify him the first time these two come up against fast wingers who destroy them in a loss. Dalot will be a decent signing given the reports from Portugal, but given how other teams have strengthened United cannot go into the season lacking in so many key areas. We're not going to challenge for the Champions League or Premier League with our current squad, that's for sure.

None of that is likely to be the manager's fault - he doesn't buy or negotiate for players.

Surprised you can say that with such confidence.

You never know.

United are known to negotiate with multiple players at the same time (Re: Lukaku and Morata (remember Morata dyed his hair red, so sure was he that he was going to United!). I believe we're negotiating for Mina and will sign him or Boateng if Spurs insist on 65m until Thursday. Should Spurs allow 50+5 in add ons, I believe we'll sign Toby. Let's get this straight right now - either Mina or Boeteng would be a disaster, for different reasons.

This was in response to the OP saying that Mou is happy with Young and Valencia. If this is the case, then it IS Mou's fault when we inevitably lose to a team with stronger width.

I do agree with you that we seem to be negotiating with multiple targets at once with the aim of signing one.

Mina could be one of these, but I don't believe he'll be anywhere near first choice.

However, if it all goes wrong with Toby, Maguire, Boateng etc then Mina could be a possibility, that's all I was suggesting.
 
Looking more like a new contract situation with every tweet to be honest.
 
Guys, keep the discussion brief in this thread. The last few pages are shambolic.

Dalot is a replacement for Darmian, mainly a RB but can play LB as well. FBs just do not seem to be a priority for him, he did stick with Ivanovic when it was clear to everyone that he was well past it.

I agree. I just think it's extremely unlikely he is "happy" with them as his first-choice fullbacks, or Mata as his first-choice right-winger, or Smalling & Jones as his first-choice CBs.

If the manager identifies the areas he wants to strengthen and submits a list of targets for each but the club chooses to ignore half of it, what can he realistically do about it (except moan a lot and make public his obvious displeasure...)

He can go next summer for £200 million

Or sell now while his value is high, after a good WC? And maybe bring in Kovacic who may be on the market atm?

I hated the circus around Ron and now the Pogba circus! What a shitshow!
 
No smoke without fire. I think this will be Pogbas last year here unless Jose gets the boot.

Of course there can be.
Its just everyone piling on. Marca are just pushing the Juve story that they ran weeks ago IMO.
 
Drz said:
So much for "anyone who wants to leave can leave" poor Pogba got his hopes up lol (or his agent)... Though I originally thought it was a ploy to reneg the contract.

I still think it could well be a ploy to get a new contract to be honest.

I suppose you can just as easily spin that question the other way around, what guarantee do we have Mourinho will stay if we get rid of Pogba/Martial for him and get couple of 30y old wingers plus another CB?
 
Spanish press no long ago: United and City are fighting again to sign Mateo. Madrid wants 90m. Other big clubs want him, too.
Reality: Loaned to Chelsea because there's no better offers.

Likely only Chelsea accepting terms of the loan deal. Real don't want to sell and City and United only want a purchase. Chelsea also looking to bring in Fekir now. So that's two of our main rivals that are strengthened from last season. United must act soon, surely.

Does Jose want to get rid of Pogba or Pogba is the one who wants to leave?
