You mean clubs can have back up options AND can actually pursue them at the same time?

There is no need - it is obvious for everyone that he is simply not good enough, no footballing ability of required level. It’s not something you may train.
One of United’s problems is that we hold onto mediocre players due to them being young and/or academy graduates - hence mediocre performances and results
I can't read the article, but I guess United's priorities are:
- Right winger (i.e. Sancho)
- Left back
- Centre back
United won’t buy anyone more like.
It says Utd will not buy a centre back. Priority is a right winger and potentially a left back.
Thanks for that. I'm surprised that my guess was that close.
Not a surprise but the lack of interest in a defensive minded midfielder has been frustrating.
It was reported by Romano yesterday that United priority are left back and right winger. CB is just possible target. I’m sure everyone have the same guesses now.
Bailly, Tuanzabe and Mengi till the end of the season then.
Not sure why we need one this year more than the other three areas. We play double pivot not a lone DM and we have enough players to cover the double pivot for this season.
Except they usually cover shit. It's either Matic or bust more precisely.
Our midfield was very dominant without Matic against Sevilla. Did you watch the way how our midfield play in that game?
Translation:
Sounds like Eric Garcia from City to Barca for €18m is close now. Decent deal, to be honest. Also Tosin Adarabioyo will be sold soon.
I wouldn't say dominant by any means, they even had a bit more possession and I never feel we are in any sort of control of the game without Matic. Even with Matic we are often very easily cut apart imo never mind without him.
Now I know this guy is full of s**t, not only he can't get name of the newspaper right (..Novosti, mens news) but he is quoting them! Like quoting me. I might actually know better.
We'd better hope Bailly and Tuanzebe can stay fit for more than two weeks.
My only defence is that I was very tired, still the length of time I was trying to open the picture is just embarrassing.sorry
We are never the type of possession football team, we are more direct and the way how we keep winning the ball back in midfield like vs Sevilla should be the aim we go for imo.
I get what you are saying but for that style of play I am not sure we have the defense. To play like that we need 2 CBs with pace who can recover and defend in a high line, our best CB will never be that and that's not even getting to the full backs. If we are to persist with playing like that, we need an athletic CDM who can cover for our CBs, and we the only CDM we have is Matic, he is also far from athletic.
How do you sell a perma crock and a greedy so and so.
Wait, isn't that the Alaba guy?
Easy - just give them another long term contracts to protect their market value.
Don't forget we are Manchester United we do things other clubs only dream of. Our players must be on high wages because we are the best in the world.
We have some form of a wage structure, 70/75k seems to be the mark for semi regular first team players, it's not exactly crazy money relatively.
It isn't compared to some of our contracts, but I am sure we never ask what these players want, if they did they might find some would be happy with double their wages. The players eyes must light up when someone offers them 4 times as much.
Man I'd love to be a United player. Why are we quadrupling his wages? Would have said no to us for lower than that?
RB Leipzig just spent £19M on a new centre back. Interesting.
The experienced agents usually know what most players earn and if United’s average salary for a defender is around 80-100 k then the agent of a 27 year old defender won’t accept much less for the last or 2nd last contract of his client.
We started with all this overpaying in transfer fees and wages mainly under LVG and have mostly continued with it since.
I also remember very well that sadly the club and Woodward but also a lot of fans here were happy back then and there were a lot of replies like the following to those questioning this approach: “I can’t understand why fans get invested in what we pay, it’s not my / the fans’ money after all”

We gave both Jones and Rojo new contracts not that long ago, stupid club.
If we are serious we should offer them a payoff and terminate their contracts just like we did with Sanchez and get someone to take them for free.
IDK how much truth there is in this but i'd happily swap in a heartbeat.
You could offload them if you released them for free. James left real on a free whilst we’re looking real money for Jones who’s a danger to himself and others. Rojo is a moron. We have unrealistic expectations. No wonder we can’t offload them.
Ole's worst decision was giving Jones a 5 year deal. Absolute mug of a move to sign off on that.
Aren't Newcastle and West Ham still looking tor centrebacks? Come on let's sell them cheap
I'd give Ole a bye on that one considering he was recently appointed caretaker manager when that happened.
