Bad isn’t it.So we are potentially going into the next season with a weaker midfield and, if we sell Lukaku, less attacking options than the previous year, in which we finished 6th?
this club
SSN just said United are unlikely to make further signings.
This is the weakest CM in some time
Can't wait to see how Ed spins it when he briefs the press after deadline day. I'm thinking something like "No value in the market/didn't want to be mugged off/giving chances to youth".SSN just said United are unlikely to make further signings.

I would class him as a powerful runner, similar to ROoney, not slow but certainly not fast
He’ll wait a day for people to vent. Then when people start to accept it and claw for positives, he’ll announce DDG’s new contract.Can't wait to see how Ed spins it when he briefs the press after deadline day.

What’s going on with the ban though, would that be allowed?Chelsea?
So we aren't signing Dybala OR Bruno, eh? I thought if Di Marzio says it's done, it's done?
No way in hell on earth would Neymar ever come to United after that CL match. He was legit upset. Would not want him anyway. He's a tool.Yeah...we said no to Neymar while sitting in the Europa League. Makes total sense.
We have more attacking options than last year. Weaker midfield. And much better defence.
Yeah, we rejected Dybala and Neymar apparently One would think we've won treble last season and have a world class player for every position. Just imagine the horror, Dybala or Neymar taking away minutes from young, hungry, British talent like Daniel James!Yeah...we said no to Neymar while sitting in the Europa League. Makes total sense.
With Upamecano, Tierney + Bellerin and Holding back to go with what is arguably the best attack in the league, yes they’d be in a better position than us and Chelsea quite easily. And maybe on par w Spurs and Tottenham and Poch’s boys
The 'Italian Guillem Balague' hasn't had a good summer.
are you counting the kids or something? because they were here last year too

I'm pretty sure he'd rather stay at PSG than come here to play with Rashford, Martial and James anyway. As for not wanting him here, have you seen what our attack looks like?No way in hell on earth would Neymar ever come to United after that CL match. He was legit upset. Would not want him anyway.

Don't disagree with everything you said but the cancelo links to city have been around for a few weeks now. So not as efficient as some might think. Or there were hold-ups which we're not aware of, which tends to happen with such expensive transactions, and that happens to every team including us.They are ruthless because Danilo wasn't good enough for their standards so they got rid of him. Efficient as in, deal is wrapped up in space of 4 days since the proposed swap came to the fore.
They are strengthening the squad with Cancelo, it provides them with more depth. Its ludicrous to compare their situation with ours which is in need of reinforcement in several positions in our first team. Plus, we are still paying Darmian wages even though he's been surplus for 3 years now. So yes, we are not ruthless and efficient in the market.

Regardless, if we sell Lukaku, despite his many flaws, and don’t bring anyone else for the attack, we are weaker attacking wise than we were last year
Yep. Unless you act hysterical and slam the club at every opportunity you're a top red.It's fine. The top reds have assured us we don't need those signings. We're putting all our faith in the youth because it's the United way etc.
Well they did get a year older, so I'd expect much more involvement than last season where they only made a few sub appearances.
Greenwood and Gomes were not ready last year, now they certainly are. Also James was signed. These three in, Lukaku out in attack. I think we are better off in this department
Greenwood will start many matches this year, that’s for sure. Gomes has more competition in this regard.

there's no evidence that the kids are ready this year. they have taken part on our tour, as they did last year. they have trained with the first team, as they did last year. yes, they have potential and looked good in preseason games, but we are reportedly selling Lukaku, who happens to have a better goal scoring record than Rashford, and relying on a couple of youth players and a kid that has just been purchased from the championship. How are we better off? at least let said kids have one or two seasons with the first team before heaping these crazy expectations on them

Ed and United get uber shit for buying players at inflated prices.
Ed and United get uber shit for not bargaining or negotiating over ridiculously low ball offers for players.
Ed and United get uber shit for not selling players at prices expected from fan base.
Ed and United get uber shit for not selling players the fans feel aren't up to the job.
Ed and United get uber shit for not buying the players the fans want because they have sèen them on FIFA or feel They have seen them enough to know better than everyone else.
Ed and United get uber shit, often without reason or understanding and maybe, just maybe, they should be given a little credit and love and support and encouragement rather than constant negativity. The majority of which is often knee jerk and misplaced.
About level with Vic Lindelof anyway, if that’s laughable.
Can say the same about Jones, Young, Smalling who will all get at least 20 league games for us.Tierney, Bellerin and Holding have had no pre-season have no guarantee they'll be ready anytime soon for the first team. Tierney is potentially out with another injury too. Upamecano would not stop Sokratis, Monreal, Mustafi and Maitland Niles still getting in the side.
