Kepa, Jorginho, Kovacic, Fekir, bringing Sarri in and keeping hold of Hazard, would be an excellent summer window them.
That's a brilliant window on paper but a young Kepa that will take a little time to adapt and an almost entirely new midfield that will obviously not just gel immediately. Could be a dangerous cup team though but I suspect should fall behind the top 2-3 early and ultimately struggle to get 4th. Long term though looks to be the start of something very good.
 
Kepa had a release clause. We did the same with Herrera years ago. Chelsea's internal setup isn't so great either when they ended up missing out on Alisson who was cheaper earlier in the window along with Higuain and Rugani.

If they do get Fekir before the window closes then it'll be a very good window for them though.
Yeah, our summer had been pretty awful up until today. I'm still sort of in shock that we're actually going to be panic buying some quality players this time. No Drinkwater's or Djilobodji's.

Still don't believe we're after Fekir. Not unless Mourinho forces your board to sanction a mega money deal for Willian.

What in the absolute feck was that. I feel like it was someone reading the Caf with attention deficit disorder whilst speaking in Leprechaun. 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
What a nasty vile thing to say. And a racist slur throw in to boot. Mods sort this out. Not good enough. P***k
 
I remember him being so highly rated (or perhaps as per usual overhyped) when Chelsea signed him, not seen anything in him other than a physical attributes at all in his time in the premiership

Nah - he looked the real deal until his injury against us. Never looked anything like the same since, sadly.
 
Standard Pilib fare, then. Just repeating what the doom mongers have said. Probably a member of the caf.

Yes, he gets a lot of interviews with former United players but I doubt he's that in the know. He's like a more connected Luckhurst with a similar penchant for ranting.


Seems like Hirst has revealed it then. If Mourinho dislikes working with Raiola then why did he sign so many of his clients?
Philip is apparently v friendly with uniteds chief scout so his information would be accurate enough. Forget his name though.
 
Can someone sum up that idiot pilib so I don't need to watch
We're getting Alderwereld in a swap for Rojo + 15M. We're also getting Maguire in a swap for Jones + 20M.

And we are in advanced talks to sign Mbappe from PSG in a swap deal involving Martial and Darmian.
 
So Kurzawa’s agent has been busy linking him to United, Spurs and Wolves. I’d take him.
 
He had one year left on contract. They were hardly going to let Courtois go for free. He wanted to go last year too. If they let him leave then, they would have got Alisson type money instead of Drinkwater.

People have such a soft spot for other clubs it's insane. Chelsea let Tbo get to 1 year left on his contract , they didn't plan a replacement and then Tbo went on strike and Chelsea had to buy a 70 million keeper . Yeah good on Chelsea

No we would never let that happen......Luke Shaw possibly in 12 months time

Appreciate the contract and awol situation is a little different, but why we are apparently at least keeping Martial when he isnt happy, isnt playing regularly and bar the first three months herethe time he has played admittedly not enough or in the right position has only shown glimpses and nothing to justify the fee, it is three years now for a player who at this moment is our third choice left winger.

Pogba may be a load of press rubbish as he is back training but there is something in it and his agent stinks. I think we are a much better side with Pogba in it, but again you could argue to a lesser degree the same argument as with Martial bar the playing time.

I am not doubting the talent of either, you would have to maybe question the players mental state....and of course why the manager isnt getting the best out of them too. Devils advocate, why would they be happy playing in this current side which opens up a whole different argument.
 
I know a lot don't like him but I found this an interesting listen



He did a lot of interesting and believable podcasts I remember last year that sounded almost sure things.....fooled me as from memory they all turned out to be utter rubbish
 
This Pogba Raiola stuff reminds me of the many times Ronaldo decided he was leaving Real Madrid over the past 5 years or so just to force them to give him a new deal.
 
Mourinho has spent almost as much as Guardiola (£70m difference in net spend if Zinchenko deal goes through) but whilst he remains as coach it's the board's job to back him. I think Mourinho may feel that they have not done their job this window. I think the fans should get an explanation.

Kind of smells like Barca feel their fans just need to know they are in for superstar players. Not that they have had a terrible summer but Malcolm, old Vidal, Lenglet (who'll be an understudy) isn't blockbuster is it? Hence the "There's interest and he wants to sign but United making it too difficult".
 
Dont know why all the panic, its obvious what is happening tomorrow from the papers getting it right:

Kimbempe is coming from PSG for £30m and Martial in return
Dembele and Mina are coming from Barcelona for £60m and Pogba in return
Maguire is coming for Jones paying them £60m
Alderweirweld is coming for Smalling and Jones and we are paying them £10m
We are signing Savic for £120m

So only spending £100m, though bad news we will still have Fellaini. In all seriousness I do expect us to sign a centre back tomorrow but also have a feeling we will either a) Pay a ludicrous fee or even worse b) Refuse the last minute ludicrous fee and fail to get a deal over the line with ludicrous negotiating. I do see quite a few last hour deals beign done by some of the smaller clubs, think bar Spurs and ourselves we will see very little from any of the other big clubs though.

The Pogba rumors are a worry though with a longer window for Barcelona, as a lot can happen after our window shuts if the player throws toys out of his pram. I would like us to sign somebody like ODembele as not only a good signing but a safety net as well.
 
What a shambles this window has been. Guess the exciting thing is that we could potentially make a signing on transfer deadline day, which is always an interesting watch.

Stephen Howson suggested the transfer a while ago. No huge fan even though I enjoy some of his videos...but I would disagree with you as it does appear he has been touted around other clubs by his greedy agent for several months now to engineer a move. I wouldnt expect this would happen without his blessing either, certainly recent events do look fishy.

We are a better side with Pogba in it and talent wise he has pretty much everything, performance wise though he hasnt been clsoe to the level he should be at consistantly for us. Was hopeful Fred may allow him a bit more freedom with Matic behind this season, but tbh if there was enough time in the window I wouldnt have been gutted to see him sold for a pot of gold if a suitable replacement was available and the rest of the money was used to strengthen other areas too...no time for that now though I woul dhave thought

We managed to keep DDG and RM signed a keeper so there’s always that....
 
Kurzawa on the flanks with a back three would be good. Guy can attack but can't defend to save his life.
 
You do have to wonder if there is something in the Dembele rumor. It just seems to pop up too many times for there to be nothing in it imho. Wouldn't be surprised to see one unexpected Frenchie signing bc of Pogba.. Not despite of Pogba. I still refuse to believe he wants to leave United. Bigger contract is the only angle I'm willing to believe on that one.
