Would happily take Sessegnon. He can get 10-15 games covering for Shaw and he'd add an option on the LW, where we're probably going to be surprisingly thin with Sanchez (hopefully) leaving and Rashford playing mostly as a striker.
 
If Lukaku wants to leave, can. We need to start from scratch.
Alert from
Dave
Dalot
Shaw
Pogba
Martial
Rashford
Lindelof
I don't mind the rest fecking off.
 
If we get first choice RB next season, Dalot can well cover and be a rotational player for both place with Young being a last needed backup. We don't need to spend money on there when there are much more urgent place that needs attention.

As much as Lukaku leaving wouldn't bother me, what does worry me is having too much to do in the summer. It's already a massive task, it can't all be fixed in one summer.

That's what I've been worried about, if we made a start last summer it would be easier. Darmian, Rojo and Valencia should have left. I'm actually starting to think there could be something in the take over rumours. It would explain the bizarre situations with contract's, saving money ect.

I know it’s not just you, it’s many.

I’m just giving my own observation really. I think posters emotionally lash out, and make such sweeping statements about the intricacies of things they couldn’t be further from because their feelings are hurt in the transfer market. I apologise but it’s just become terribly annoying. ‘Woodward has to go!’, ‘Woodward is useless’. Those are even bad enough. But ‘Woodward is so dumb, he’s made all of our targets much more expensive now’. That stuff is stuff I feel compelled to add my 2 cents too. It’s ridiculous, and implies that Ed Woodward is a total moron. I strongly suspect that the truth is, he isn’t at all. ‘He’s just saying that because we lost, I’m not feeling for it’. This is just emotional grown men being bratty. They will celebrate Woodward again when he signs their favourite player in the summer, and post memes of Woodward being a God etc. Herrera not extending becomes a criticism because ‘how can he be allowed to leave before Jones?’, as if the two have anything to do with each other, or a COO with a brain should say ‘well Herrera won’t extend, and he’s better than Jones, so let’s pull Phil’s contract offer’.

Another favourite is because Woodward wasn’t a Balon D’or contender in his younger days, he ‘knows nothing about football, should stick to signing noodle partners’. Yet apparently, a bunch of posters who punch a clock every day and never played the game either have it all figured out, more so than the man who runs Manchester United, works with top football managers and agents every day, and is generally probably just a lot smarter anyway, has ‘no clue’. Until he signs Mbappé, then he does again. Until Mbappé fails here, then he doesn’t again, and ‘gave him a ridiculous contract’ etc.

The constant whinging about Woodward is a bit grating to me, that’s all. I appreciate that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is mine. Mine is that a lot of the ones I read are baseless and no more than emotional venting.

First team players? Agreed. But you can't sell every squad member at once unless you only want a 15 man squad next season. :)
 
Rozay said:
I want us to get him as I suspect the prices should be far more sensible than this time last year. We have one LB in the squad, and nothing coming through the ranks in that role too. He’s also predominantly offensive in comparison to Shaw.

Brandon Williams?
 
I wouldn't mind us selling Bailly and Lukaku tbf, both are not good enough and will never be IMO.
But it's easy to say sell them all, we can't have 7/8 new players. Also this could make many on here mad, but I don't think I really trust Ole to handle such massive rebuild. More established managers have tried and failed and so I would be way happier if a DOF was overseeing this rebuild

Bailly is a good player not surprised RM want him.

yeah. i think he'll turn out good with regular football and belief in him.

United has just been shite for eons, and with fullback partners like Young, combined with a drop in form and getting sent to the dungeons every time you have a bad game, you get his current circumstance. Dude was out of the team without regular football for ages then gets tossed in against PSG and people act surprised when a disasterclass happens.

Bailly is arguably not even better than Jones. Calamity footballer. Clown can only play on the right as well, he's not worth the hassle.

Strange that RM are interested in calamity footballers. His progression didn't go as expected for a number of reasons but he's not a bad player. Still got a lot of time ahead too.
 
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified four areas to strengthen his squad this summer - but his spending spree could be delayed.

According to Metro , the United boss met with Old Trafford chiefs last month to discuss transfer plans but was unable to agree a finalised budget.

It is understood that the uncertainty surrounding Champions League football for the Red Devils next season meant they could not decide their exact plans.
The news leaves Solskjaer at risk of being left behind in the transfer market as rivals clubs look to act early on targets being linked to Old Trafford.

I agree that venting and name calling after a loss seems to be frequent against Woodward, it's not baseless though the mess he's created. The Sanchez contract has messed up the wage structure at the club, it's obvious and fans have a right to be annoyed. It's very possible that the doubt of Herrera and David De Gea's future is linked to the mismanaged of that contract, it would be only natural to demand significant more wages. De Gea should be the top earner at the club but that's not possible by the looks of it, somebody needs to answer for this. Players being allowed to run down contracts and to leave on a free shouldn't happen!

Ed has helped negotiate Smalling, Jones and Shaw on huge long term deals. Maybe the Shaw one will pay off the long run but the length of the others is frightening, rewarding mediocrity with long term deals is hardly the message we want to be sending out. This combined with an inability to get rid of players like Darmian, Rojo and Valencia is worrying. Someone must take responsibility for the mess. I get posters can flip flop depending on a transfer window, name calling without a point ect ... but the frustration with the majority is there (including me). Maybe not everyone expresses there point well but fan's are frustrated and more importantly worried going forward. Can you honestly say you are confident going in to the Summer with Ed Woodward? A potential Europa league spot with so many contracts, ingoings/outgoings to sort?

He also refused to back one of those managers, one with a history of throwing his toys out of his pram, and then didn’t sack him. He gleefully told anyone that would listen that he did this and thought we’d be alright going into this season that way. He’s also the man that waited about 6 months too long in sacking Van Gaal and there was plenty of evidence that he was a wash up anyway.

He’s the man responsible for transfers and handling managers. Is there evidence he’s good at that? I’d suggest the evidence in front of our eyes suggests he’s fecking useless at it. Has he been good at negotiating contracts? So many going into their last year before offering eye watering amounts to get them to sign would suggest not. Has he been good at getting rid of players the manager clearly doesn’t want? The fact Rojo and Darmian are still at the club suggest not. Would that have anything to do with the wages we had to offer those players to sign?

The evidence would suggest he’s a very good executive but that’s not what people are talking about. They’re talking about what he knows about football and for me, more importantly, how much he actually gives a shit. Marketing is priority number one and his transfer strategy has reflected that for me.
Click to expand...

So now we’re down to one manager he refused to back. Then with a closer look, we will see that he also broke the world transfer record for that manager. He also made a player the highest paid in the PL for that manager.

‘He’s the man responsible for transfers and handling managers’. Indeed he is. Is there evidence to suggest he’s good at that? Absolutely. On the whole, he has delivered players for his managers. I doubt we signed Eric Bailly because Ed Woodward thought he’s a top talent. We signed him because his manager asked him to. That he’s turned out to be crap isn’t Ed’s fault. He’s ultimately judged that manager and his decisions by sacking him. What more do you want him to do? He’s hired obvious managers who were proven winners. He’s also hired a manager because Fergie and Charlton picked him. He has not failed in hiring managers, his managers have failed. If he got Pep and we finished 5th, he will sack Pep and go again. Does that mean he doesn’t know what he’s doing?

With regards to negotiating extensions, I can’t comment, it isn’t ideal, but I don’t know details. What I do know, is contracts and money is apparently all he knows, so are we saying he doesn’t know business either? This isn’t a football matter, it’s a business one.

Regarding players the manager clearly doesn’t want, I would suggest that players that the posters on Redcafe don’t want and players the managers don’t want probably differ. You mention Rojo. I doubt he was given a deal against the advice of his manager. As for Darmian, he should have been sold, I agree. Still, we are talking peanuts, and he’s in charge of the money, and if the club decided to keep him around as cover rather than loan him to Italy then so be it. He got fair money for Shneiderlein, Memphis and Blind. Fellaini too.

Marketing being his priority is a made up Redcafe fable. Every time we sign a new partner it’s used against him, as if he shouldn’t be doing that or something. 6 years haven’t gone perfectly, but what I will say is, if we read back across various threads during that period, the esteemed members of the caf agreed with the vast majority of it when he was doing it. It was only in between when we were losing football matches that he became a moron.

My Portuguese friend swears up and down that he's the next Portuguese star in the Bernardo Silva mold

Would be quite the upgrade of Herrera or Mata

The impact of Sanchez’ salary has become another limitless fable in my humble opinion. Everyone knows the circumstances surrounding us signing Alexis Sanchez for a lot less than the £90m-odd he was worth, and we know what it means for his wages. If you are unsure as to just how well we know this, look back at threads when we signed him. The only issue with Alexis Sanchez is that he has not performed as he should have. I repeat, AS HE SHOULD HAVE. We, very reasonably, expected him to play much better than he has. I suspect a delve into old posts would suggest that this included yourself. Making him our highest paid player at the time was also not unreasonable. He came to us as one of the best players in the league in his prime, having turned 29 a month before.

Also, Sanchez’ salary is not the problem with other negotiations. The market is. If De Gea demands to be paid a figure above that of Sanchez, what are his options? Go elsewhere? That would suggest that other clubs would pay him what he wants. So long as that exists, Sanchez’ salary is irrelevant. Put simply, if Sanchez earns 400k and we only offer De Gea 300k, he won’t then leave to earn £250k elsewhere. If he does leave to earn £400k elsewhere, then what we pay Sanchez is irrelevant. The issue is us not paying De Gea what he could get elsewhere.

‘Ed has helped negotiate Smalling, Jones and Shaw on huge long term deals’. Firstly, how ‘huge’ are we talking in terms of Smalling and Jones? Do you even know what they earn? Or is the problem that he has given new contracts to players the club want to keep, while the caf thinks they should be sold? You call it ‘rewarding mediocrity’, but that to me, is hypocrisy. It is asking Woodward to do what people say they don’t want him to do, make football decisions, and rate our players based on his own opinion and decide who to keep. If our managers want to keep Smalling, Jones and Shaw, Woodward needs to get it done for a price we think is reasonable. These particular deals don’t sit well, seemingly because we rate them less than the club do.

The ‘inability to get rid of Rojo, Darmian and Valencia’. Who exactly was trying to ‘get rid’ of them? Redcafe? Valencia has been allowed to leave anyway with his deal not being extended, and Darmian is worth a negligible amount anyway so I doubt that bothers you much. As for Rojo, the last manager chose to extend his contract, and I haven’t seen us resisting offers for him anyway. There was talk of Wolves wanting him last summer, and Everton, but they went elsewhere in the end.

As for your last question, I am confident going into the summer with Woodward. I believe he will go after the players the manager wants, and I believe he will be prepared to spend a lot of mkney to get them. That’s about as much as I can ask of him. We may Not sign them. They may go to Barcelona or City instead. There are other good clubs with money.

With no Sanchez and Fred, we'd have to change the lyrics to that "Ole's at the Wheel" song. I quite like those lyrics so I think we should keep them.

Apparently you don't understand logic and reason if you think sacking Pep after finishing 5th would be a good decision from Woodward. Helps to explain the total lack of intelligence in your posts defending him though.

Allow me to explain. If most of the decisions that you make or that happen under your supervision fail consistently for 6 years, you are not doing your job properly.

Which I suspect would include hiring Pep Guardiola if we finished 5th with him. It included hiring Jose Mourinho when he finished 2nd and won cups.

Allow me to explain. This is what reality looks like. Under Sir Alex, we won the league repeatedly. While we were doing that, other clubs were not sacking their Chief Exec every year they failed to. Teams don’t sack their executive if they don’t win a league for 6 years. They sack their managers. Like we have. Otherwise execs would be sacked every year at every club.

He broke the world record for a marketing toy. He was bragging about how he wanted to break the world record for an age before it. And I don’t think for a minute that Sanchez isn’t another marketing toy. We had briefs the other week that they didn’t want to get rid of him yet because he was still important to our marketing.

He’s shown to be good at handling managers? The managers may have a different view. In what way is telling the media you know better than your manager and then continuing with him in the job evidence of being good at handling managers? If the time comes when you no longer trust your manager and it is to the direct detriment of the team you sack him there and then. What Woodward did was leave us in a shit halfway house and left us in a situation where a miracle was required to finish two places lower than we did the year before.

If you think Woodward’s priority isn’t marketing and profit then you’re beyond engaging in a reasonable discussion. It’s as clear as day what his priority is. That there are idiots who thought those players were good signings doesn’t negate the possibility that Woodward knows little about football. Though I would agree there a lot of really bad wannabe scouts on this forum.

I’d agree regarding Sanchez’s salary. It’s just another stick being used to beat him with.
