Do it now for 60m or nothing next year.
Spurs aren't in a strong position here.

If we were the only buying club then maybe. Don't think we are though. Plenty of other teams got cash and CL footy to offer.

I don't think we stand a chance personally. I think Levy will take a chance that he will leave for free next summer to avoid him coming to us.

 

[Brownie85]

Not surprised one bit.
Terrible window. No right winger nor a replecment for Herrera is criminal.

It worries me that we could be out of the running for top 4 fairly early, with Ole being booted out before the seasons even ended.
Hopefully thats not the case and we end up doing well, but it's worrying.

 

[TsuWave]

Thats Mourinho level thinking. The evidence is on the training pitch not in league matches. If you keep waiting for kids to score 10 goals a season before making them part of the first team then you lose them like Pogba. In Gomes' mind he's has good if not better than than competition for his spot. Same with Greenwood. So now they need to sink or swim.

yes, because us fans are witnessing training sessions and have enough data in order to compare said "evidence" and label them "ready" now as opposed to "not ready" last year, right?

you posted that shit with so much confidence too.

again, we are potentially selling Lukaku, and relying on unknowns/potential like Greenwood, but somehow, on Redcafe, we are better off than last year attacking wise. and when I ask why/where/how people are justifying said assertion the answers are "they are one year older", "the evidence is on the training pitch"

 

[redshaw]

Juve offering us Dybala for Lukaku, PSG offering us Neymar. I wonder if Bracelona will offer us Messi. Maybe in a straight swap for Lingard.

Perhaps clubs just feel sorry for us?

We should put a message out, please donate your DM, going to a good cause, thank you, MUFC.

 

[Kearnkoff69]

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!

You know damn well that's not the reason why we've allegedly rejected Neymar (and, for that matter, Dybala) so stop peddling false narratives just so you can have something to moan about.

 

[pacifictheme]

We have more attacking options than last year. Weaker midfield. And much better defence.

We don't have more good attacking options. Unproven youngsters are not good attacking options, no matter how much we hope.

 

[peridigm]

Lukaku will definitely leave, even if its after the window. I still refuse to rule out Pogba being sold in a similar manner.

No more incomings, as far as I'm concerned.

We'll finish 8th.

There is one thing as sure as the sun rising tomorrow. Pogab will not be sold after our window closes if we don't sign at least two midfielders by end of day Thursday.

 

[MUFC OK]

We are left with blind faith. Our transfer strategy has shown again that we cannot look much further than the end of our nose (James was recommended by Giggs). Nothing happens behind closed doors - utter shambles.

And why would that be, mate? Genuinely want to know your reasoning. You honestly think our owners would reject say, £140m, when they won't even need to reinvest it?

What's not to like about that? People need to understand one thing and one thing only - the Glazers and Woodward's gauge of a successful season has already been met, MONTHS AGO.

Season tickets sold out.

That's their hard work done. If we finished 12th it doesnt matter a jot to them, they've maximised their income and minimised outgoings and could potentially pocket 140m or something for Pogba and 70m or something for Lukaku. What can the fans or Ole do about it? Not a single thing.

 

[SATA]

Lads SSN doesn't know a single shite. Just trying to stay relevant they are

 

[Alemar]

We don't have more good attacking options. Unproven youngsters are not good attacking options, no matter how much we hope.

Even at 17 Greenwood would have scored more goals than Lukaku if played as a starting striker - at Man Utd that is.

 

[2E_MUFC]

We were in for the first guy. For sure

According to who?

 

[wr8_utd]

Juve offering us Dybala for Lukaku, PSG offering us Neymar. I wonder if Bracelona will offer us Messi. Maybe in a straight swap for Lingard.

But he's Argentine and hence unlikely to work so we'll keep young Jesse instead.

 

[Brownie85]

Lads SSN doesn't know a single shite. Just trying to stay relevant they are

I'm just worried we're going to get another brief saying that we're done, just so no expectations are raised.
Got all fingers crossed that we get someone in though

 

[rotherham_red]

there's no substantial 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

They outperformed the older lot on tour. Last year they were only included until the World Cup players were back. Once the tour finished, they were sent back to the U18s/U23s. This time round they've been with us the whole way through preseason.

They might not be starting the season in the squads, but once the EL starts they'll have the chance to impress and establish themselves in the team, and if they do, I could quite easily see Gomes and Greenwood getting in and staying in.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[walsh]

People don't seem to grasp that us being offered Neymar (although likely bullshit) doesn't mean we get him for free and isn't exactly risk free. He'd cost us 200m and his personality has caused issues his whole career.

I hope it's Eriksen but it won't be. Probably a final bid for Longstaff to test Newcastle's resolve

And how would you propose they keep making that money if we continued to drop down the table. They may not be football people but they're not stupid. Protecting their investment is in their best interest. They know RM will pay at least £140m if not more for him next year. We sell Pogba and don't replace him we'll be seeing a MF of Matic - Fred - McTominay lining up every week. That's surely a mid table finish. Then the Adidas money drops, the fans start to lose interest even more, and it all continues to spiral out of control.

I think they'd rather keep Pogba and lose out on £140m knowing it could easily be £140-£160m next year.

I'm not declaring them "ready" the team management who do watch them everyday in training are. And I'm inclined to trust their judgement over the judgement of random caf posters who seem to want us to become Madrid-lite

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Yeah. I'd imagine we'll struggle for top 6 with the current team, given our transfers. We might do well in a cup competition to give some false. But with the Glazers failing to invest properly again we're not going to make up any ground. Look at how much Everton, Wolves and Leicester are investing in their teams. They might not get it right each time, but they're trying and then selling the ones that don't work. They're proactive, not reactive. And perhaps this is the season that one of the teams from below breaks the top 4. I can see both United and Chelsea struggling this season, and United have literally no excuse.

 

[pocco]

@BluesJr are you still confident we'll make signings? I hope you are right.

 

[JJ12]

I don't see us ending this window without at least one more offer for Longstaff but maybe we are just done.

 

[2E_MUFC]

Even at 17 Greenwood would have scored more goals than Lukaku if played as a starting striker - at Man Utd that is.

What absolute tripe

 

[Mick1]

Incredibly happy with Maguire. A youngster at this price is very good.

 

[AJ10]

Complete Joke if True.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

Even at 17 Greenwood would have scored more goals than Lukaku if played as a starting striker - at Man Utd that is.

Bullshit. Greenwood is extremely promising but we need to stop overhyping every player who comes through our youth academy.

This is simply just not true. Sure the Glazers love money, but to think they are happy with us finishing 6th is just in my eyes ridicilous.

 

[walsh]

If we are done then we are definitely light by a midfielder and attacker (assuming we sell Lukaku which looks inevitable) but let's see how we go and hopefully we'll be applauding the decision to trust Greenwood/Gomes/Chong in a few months.

Definitely wouldn't be disappointed if we made a late move for Eriksen though.

 

[SirAF]

So be it..

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Let's hope he does trust them then. Sunday will tell, if it is the same old faces on the bench. Not really sure about Chong just yet, but Greenwood, Gomes and Axel should be on the bench. I can see them just being used in the Carabao and EL.

I want these kids to do well, but people throwing them straight into the team are crazy. Let them build their minutes up from the bench and let their confidence grow. I do not want us to have a disaster of a season, Ole to be gone and then these kids will just be thrown to the side.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Possibly. I'm fine with not going for Dybala, given the cost, and the fact he didn't want to play for United. The issue is you know for sure that one of the other Premier League team has bought or will buy a brilliant player this summer that would have improved our midfield. Not sure why we aren't at least investing in a 30-to-50m cheap squad player for the position. Someone who could play RM and Central Mid and has pace, work ethic and dribbling ability. That would be the ideal addition.

 

[Baneofthegame]

If Dybala has concerns, no way Neymars coming loan or otherwise.

Otherwise we would already have him, assuming no obligation to buy.

 

[Donk3y]

So no new signings? I wouldn't be surprised if we finished below 6th in the league with our current team.

 

[Camy89]

Well that’s me convinced

 

[Adisa]

No midfield.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

@Niall is that you?

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[Alemar]

Bullshit. Greenwood is extremely promising but we need to stop overhyping every player who comes through our youth academy.

Apparently he is a tier or two above the level our academy creates on average. It’s not overhyping, our squad is simply not good any more - so an extremely promising youngster can definitely be a starter here.

Lukaku might be better per se (so far), but not in our system.
