Berry berry shrew?
Judging by his past history with Brazilians on his former teams Id say he would sign at least one.
I think it was Matic and Dier last summer. Numerous journalists at the time, including Castles, Luckhurst, and, from memory Stone, wrote that the Fabinho stuff all originated from agents/intermediaries with vested interests in spreading disinformation - that's why they were reluctant to run with it (this also got Luckhurst in hot water with numerous Twitter transfer obsessives). Castles wrote a piece at the end of the summer reiterating this and ascribing prevelance of Fabinho rumours to sources at Juve covering for the club. I don't believe we were ever in for him.
Actually I will amend my previous statement, I think we'll get Alex Sandro. I forgot he was Brazilian for some reason
Typical. We could have probably bought Fabinho at any point but we wait until he is about to sign for Atletico.
United and Liverpool both dropped a lot of points to lower level PL teams that use packed defenses to stifle attacking play and earn a point. Klopp will invest in Fekir, the best #10 available, to break down packed defenses and close the gap with City. Mourinho thinks a combination of Mata, Lingard, and Pogba playing the #10 role are good enough to break down packed defenses and close the gap with City. Mourinho will replace his defenders to give him a better chance at a scoreless draw and a point in the standings. Klopp will add a quality #10 to get the win and the 3 points. And some United fans don't understand why other United fans worry about the attitude and priorities of the manager.
Favre pulled the plug on that deal.
Yet we finished above Liverpool and they never looked like beating us.
Yup. We'll have a terrible transfer window and fall from grace while Liverpool will be the main City's rival for the title. Mourinho will probably seek more scoreless draws just like last season.
Oh wait.
I see Liverpool is like City from last season. Everybody is salivating over their supposed transfer while of course ruing ours.
Does City need Isco at all?
Dumb question I know.
Dumb question I know.
Someone to rotate with David Silva maybe
I'd take Isco at united. Oh yes.
They already have Bernardo.
He's pretty much exclusively played on the right for City.
They are signing Mahrez
Yes. Doesn't negate what I said about Bernardo playing mostly on the right since signing for City though.
Don’t understand why we aren’t in for Mahrez. Would prefer Costa but Mahrez would be a close 2nd. Costa will remain at Juve though is my guess.
Is there any reporter claiming we are in for a RW this summer? I have a feeling we are after a CM, LB, back up striker and CB

Willian
He can move central though, or more than likely will should I say.
First of all, we dropped a lot of points came down to our defence in the corner and set pieces. Liverpool couldn't break down the defence with Coutinho, what makes you think they'll break down again easily with Fekir?
We are upgrading a lot of position such as fullbacks, left-footed CM, CB leaders, RW and bench option like Taslica and striker backup. Toby, Sandro, Fred, Taslica, Sidibe/Caneclo and possibly other CM for rotation/competition, that would make United much stronger since United's 2006-2011 and would be strong in every department.
United have conceded more 8 goals than City from set pieces, this is big issues we need to improve. If we can do that, we can make sure we won't drop any point due to this. I think our creativity needs to improve more.
on Midfield. Pogba - Matic - Fred. Matic being DM, to cover space, tackle and intercept. Fred being 8/6 and also support Matic, cover more space, ball winner and is the conductor of midfield. Pogba as BB, playmakers in an advanced role and play higher. Talisco being a bench option to come off the bench if we need a goal with 30 minutes left, an upgrade to Fellaini that is more comfortable on balls and a good passer.
On defence, Sandro and the likes of Sidibe/Cancelo can take on players with dribbles and has better crossing and good going forward, would completely transform us into a different team with stronger width to support forward. Toby can play a higher line, comfortable on balls and can orangize defence, clam and read games so well. Toby is what we thought Lindelof would be. On other hands, midfielders won't need to drop deep to collect balls.
I can see United sides reaching 90+ followed by last season 81, it take a good transfer window to do this, can Liverpool do that? No progress made from last season in the league even with Salah scoring a lot of goals but less 1 point off than 2016/17.
This is too early call, we have to wait to see what happens next season.
Everybody needs Isco.
@deafepl
To be honest, the sheer presence of Lukaku has made us horrible on set pieces. He is very composed in the final third but in our own box he is a headless chicken.

Dont believe the Fabinho links, not sure why but just seems doubtful to me. Think he’s Madrid bound.
I know right, we better all switch teams asap.Wow, how will ourselves, city etc compete with them now
Finally moving away from snubchester tag
If we exchange a 22 year old forward for a 29 year old center back we'd be the biggest mugs on the planet.
Not until he gets his head-to-body ratio sorted out. Manchester United scouts had the foreknowledge to know we can't have his giant balloon head blocking other players' view of the pitch. We really dodged a bullet thanks to them.
That Man City home game dreadful hash straight to their man still gives me nightmares.
I've seen this a lot lately. Can we ban tweets that use "quotation marks"? The reason they use it is because they are quoting another source (which is generally unreliable).
On the content of the tweet, I'd be glad we're not selling Martial for Alderweireld. I'd switch Martial for Kane though.
