Excellent bit of business by Dortmund. I expect he'll do very well for them.
Journalists either no shite all or we are leaking stuff in preparation for another bad window and doing the at least we tried bit. Obviously super early but I doubt we pay big for any top player.
So this is either United saving face as Sancho doesn't want to move here for Europa league / turmoil or its posturing to try force Dortmund to lower their price (2 recent signings for the wings in Hazard and Brandt might mean they need to balance the books).
Otherwise i hope we're not balking at the price given his age and potential. 80 million isn't that much for a player of his potential abilities.
I hope we don't force Tuanzebe out of the club if we are buying this Stoke guy. The club seriously needs to give Axel a chance, such a talent that i don't want to see him blossom at another club but at ours
I imagine he will go straight into our U-23s. One to watch in 2-3 seasons.I hope we don't force Tuanzebe out of the club if we are buying this Stoke guy. The club seriously needs to give Axel a chance, such a talent that i don't want to see him blossom at another club but at ours

Why would buying a 17 year old force Axel out?I hope we don't force Tuanzebe out of the club if we are buying this Stoke guy. The club seriously needs to give Axel a chance, such a talent that i don't want to see him blossom at another club but at ours
if that's all we sign, then that's a fair comment - I highly doubt it though.
This is utterly ridiculous - James, Longstaff and Collins. Lets hope not all of it is true. What the hell is the point of blooding youngsters when you've got nothing to integrate them into.

Yeah looks very good for a 17 year old. Him an O'connor in the same team will get the Irish going on here!Looks decent from his individual highlights of his debut. Always looking for long passes out of the back but also does some defending. The new Toby perhaps. But also tall and doesnt mind a header

Hope his appointment happens very soon
And who do we replace him with? We cannot afford 100million on one player! Get him to lose weight and he will be the player he was at Everton. Though I have reservations on whether Solskjaer can even improve players!

Are they not youngsters that are ready to make the next step? They're 17, 21, 21 respectively. As someone said in another thread, that potentially could only cost us 47m, in total, for 3 young players. The scouts would have also done their homework on these players, I am sure they will improve our squad. Who else are we getting should be the real question. These feel like supplemental signings.The standards have fallen, that's for sure. We should be looking to purchase youngsters that are ready to make the next step - not Championship players who've never played in the Premier League. It's a huge gamble especially considering we're meant to have a few talented youngsters of our own. I don't mind Daniel James (i.e. signing one) but we're desperate for quality across all positions and it's hard to imagine players from Stoke, Swansea and Newcastle changing our fortunes. Moreover, there are a few quality young players around the continent who should be our priorities.
I guess we'll see what happens. On the other hand, unknown entities may turn out to surprise us all.
If we sell Lukaku we can certainly afford 100m for one player. We should be looking at one Jovic or one the 50 or so French strikers that could easily improve our team.
