If we were Chelsea, imagine the De Bruyne and Salah thread.

We’ve moved on players who weren’t getting game time and probably adding to the lack of squad harmony that’s been mentioned.
We also know we’re likely to have a new manager in the summer so it’s pointless to invest heavily in a new signing and find out he won’t be in the new managers plans. While those areas do need improving we need to be bringing in guaranteed starters to displace McFred and that level of player isn’t so easy to bring in. I’ll trust that we’re putting in the ground work to clear out the squad and have a decent budget for the new manager to bring in the players they want.
Don't think we have any choice as don't think we ever intended getting anybody in, except now the Greenwood situation has muddied the waters. We have sent players out on loan, not sold them. So if any of them are still under contract we will have the same problem of shifting players again. We are now banking on those loan players actually showing what they can do to either bring money in or be integrated back into the squad. That will be alright if we actually get rid of the out of contract players. I really do not want them handing contracts to them to save money.
According to Di Marzio, Ronaldo earns 25m € net at United. Go do the math..
no he doesn’t
Nightmare.
It'll look shrewd and prudent and genial etc. if we pull it off having spent no money, but downright farcical if, for example, one of the two key midfielders we have now goes down with a serious injury. Not only is the fatigue of high octane games a thing, but also form - neither of them can really dip in form now because we have nobody to pick up the slack in their positions.
I'm a big fan of Hannibal, and I sincerely hope he can come in and do a good job in the PL, but, say he doesn't, it's wholly unfair to heap that kind of pressure on a kid instead of easing him in to a well-oiled, functioning midfield.
I think we're thinner than we look up top, too, but at least that can be compensated for by switching systems.
If we're really not getting any midfielders in, I am surprised we're prepared to let Jones go out on loan - he is at least a functional midfield body if we're threadbare.
No he doesn't, his wage is approx 26 milion GBP gross.
I gave a source. I'll also point out that Ronaldo earned 30m net at Juventus.
But if you want to believe that he took a 50% paycut to come to United, something tells me I won't change your mind.
Think with Hannibal it is more his temperament. He has to realise he might get fouled and not to react. Although at least in the PL he might get more protection than in the U-23's where anything seems to go.
Very injury prone and on massive wages at Juve.
No chance we allow him to go to West Ham. It's Newcastle or he stays here.
Just imagine if weren't interested because we have/had Mason Greenwood.
Arrey-Mbi extends until 2025 and joins Köln on loan for 18 months, until summer 2023
Quite the coup for us. Comes with its risks, but a midfield trio of Ramsey, Kamara and Aribo is some unit.
I think he turned down Burnley. I think it's sensible for him to give teams that are barely getting any of the ball and struggling at the foot of the table a wide berth.
.
Barcelona does not think anything because that news is fake. They have the salary cap at the limit, where do they put Neymar's salary?
To be fair, juventus are covering most of his wages to go to rangers
also Burnley wanted him but he rejected them
An intelligent assessment on the situation, thank you sir. This is my feeling on things too.
He would take a pay cut to join you, of course. Don't they all?
To be honest it is often discussed how smooth our loans happen. As far as selling, we do carry more dead wood than people care for, but it is amazing how much money we get for transfers. The vast majority of online Chelsea fans are really happy with how we do transfers. This year people are bemoaning not getting in a left back, but January transfer window is primarily loan business for us.
Chelsea have probably been the best run club over the last 20 years.
So VDB, Martial, Amad and now quite possibly Lingard out on loan. And Greenwood out for good.
We’ve lost 5 attacking players this window.
Surprised there’s been no incomings.
Oh well, at least we’ll get to see more of Mejbri now. And a lot more of Elanga. Time to get behind the academy lads.
Seriously hope Sancho starts to fire. And Pogba comes back fit and motivated.

I thought competition for places was important? I think we need to promote a few straight away
We do still have options.
Elanga, Rashford Pogba and Sancho could all easily fill in on either flank. Maybe not their best positions in some cases but they could do a job there.
The issue is 1 or 2 injuries and we are now incredibly short.

They're replacing Van de Beek before even announcing him ffs
Unlucky
Ali and Donny would upgrade their midfield no end but would need a strong DM behind them.
