Our Board will be perfectly OK with that. It's finishing ahead of Leicester/Spurs (and therefore securing CL football) that is the priority.
Botmans the big Dutch lad that was one of fifteen CHs we were linked to this Summer. Looks a beast, be interested to see how he does.
God I hate to admit this is true and so sickening to see all of our rivals with such quality midfield depth whilst we can't even buy a starter player in this window let alone someone just there for rotation purposes
We’ve spent nearly 400m in the last 2.5 years…why is all of Twitter and half of this place acting like we spend feck all? I know it’s been all of 10 days since we signed a new shiny toy but feck me.
I actually wanted Kounde myself but we got Varane so it makes up for it but if Saul is seriously available and Chelsea end up getting him while we go through yet another year of McFred and Matic then honestly people have the right to be upset.
We already have a £40 million midfield signing sat on the bench, if Ole had spent that money more wisely we wouldn't be in this desperate situation with the midfield.
Yet we couldn’t even beat Southampton.
As things stand and barring any serious injuries, Liverpool can easily win the title or atleast finish ahead of us if we don’t get our act together.
Just for context, they were lacking in the CB position and bought one first thing this summer. Our midfield position(s) have been of concern since a couple years and still lacking.
Not sure that’s true? We used last years funds on other players when we couldn’t get Sancho.
I think we all know that is happening. It also seems like the bid from RM was nothing more than a token, We’re thinking about you Mbappe.
Yeah have made that point so many times and it still frustrates the hell out of me we are now unable to get what we need
Yes, indeed. It is a strange notion since United are probably the highest net spenders over the last 10 years or so.
Doesn’t mean questions can’t be asked. Seems like we’re a few kicks in the butt short when it comes to pushing them to take action.
Sancho & Varane was good business but let’s not let them get away with being stingy when there’s fairly good deals available in the market (Camavinga/Neves 35m, or atleast get Saul on a loan.. these are players who were costing double the values just a year ago) and we can easily avoid having to play the likes of Matic.
We have 90m Pogba, 40m Matic, 50m Fred and 60m Bruno to go with that 40m Donny. Not spending money is the problem though. It’s like I’m living in the twilight zone. Yes Matic needs upgrading but after spending 110m so far it’s perfectly reasonable to think if nobody leaves then nobody else comes in.
This will destroy my love affair with Ronaldo. He does this and you can wipe his history with us as far as i'm concerned.
Yeah I don't care if it's a panic buy we are really that desperate now
Going to City would break his legacy.
"I still want to win trophies at the highest level and also could not turn down the opportunity to work with Pep"
We might be hearing something similar to this soon, heartbreaking
We might be hearing something similar to this soon, heartbreaking
It's outrageous
Is he suggesting bench for Mbappe?
Yeah his bridges would be well and truly torched with the fanbase
Yeah certainly is but due to poor planning we can't do anything about signing one
Corrected.
Don't forget the £30m spent on Amad and Pellestri that couldn't been put towards a central midfielder. Why go in for them if we know we have no intention of playing them and are going to be back in for Sancho a season later? We are just not very savvy with our transfer kitty.
Did he not deliver at RB then? They paid £20m odd for him only last season, right?
I doubt he gives a feck.
Ugh we really have proper wasted some money in last years window apart from Edi who was a free agent, damn it due to these bloody decisions we have basically now tied our own hands behind the back
The thought of playing any of the top 3 with our current midfield gives me bad dreams.
At this point all our annual financial planning goes out the window and we need to get creative. I mean ffs Chelsea will have Kante Jorginho starting with Kovacic and Saul potentially as backup. Liverpool will have Fabinho and Hendo back in midfield with Thiago and Keita/Milner as backup. As for City let’s not even start discussing their plethora of midfield options. While our first choice midfield pair is a highly debatable one and backup options are a player who should’ve left the PL last summer and one who apparently should've never come or I don’t understand why he’s not being played much.
Either our board is in the Glazers back pockets or they’re just too naive.
We've improved in the last 2 seasons, but there have been a number of articles on the convulated way we did transfers before that. But I don't believe Chelsea do incoming transfers any quicker than other teams, we just don't hear about it as much, being a United forum.
Having said them, it's quite clear we're pretty shite at selling.
It would deeply hurt my soul to see Ronaldo play at another premier League club.
Hendo? Are you a Liverpool fan calling him that? Thiago sucks and Milner is old AF. Keita is a bust.
On paper none of these are world class -Liverpool have a great attack and defense, their midfield is functional at best.
Chelsea and City have much better personnel, that's true.
The thought of even facing anyone who presses us to shit and plays in that low block gives me nightmares too, made me laugh when that Nik fella from the Utd hour podcast asked me to outline what top midfield options the others have got
Chelsea getting Saul and Kounde is a fecking joke. What's the point in even trying to compete?
FFS Chelsea you have more than enough options and Utd take some bloody action instead of just standing still
