The kind of signing I would like us to stay away from, we have never succeeded in signing big names from big clubs.
Varane - Always injured
ADM, Poor
Pogba - inconsistent
Matic - Poor
Mata - meh

Yes Rudiger has been awesome since Tuchel came in but how much of that has been because he is playing LCB in a back 3?

They've never been against selling to rivals for the right price. That was under Roman though.

They've never been against selling senior players for the right price but don't they generally put buy back clauses in young players they sell.

When the season ends with Alavés I have to go back to Manchester, do the preseason and then see what I do. The best thing for me would be to find a team that allows me to have as many minutes as possible. Today the priority that I give to my future is to have minutes, if it is in Manchester it would be a dream, otherwise I will have to look for another team to achieve that.

Maxence Caqueret has received a good proposal to extend his contract in Lyon, but he continues to reflect after the arrival of an offer from AC Milan. The tendency remains to an extension at Les Gones.

  • Lyon's offer:
    • 4x the current salary
    • Assured the captaincy in the medium and long term
 
We wasted so much money in that 2020 summer, pellestri, diallo, cavani and beek.. throw in the previous season with bissaka and Maguire and it is pretty grim reading

Maybe we should stop sending him to clubs that don’t give him any minutes.

Interestingly, both Alaves and Pellistri were very keen on continuing this loan last summer. United took more time to evaluate other options and eventually decided that this was the best one. It started off well as he was getting a bunch of minutes off the bench (even if he himself wasn't performing well). Then, Javi Calleja gets sacked, and Pellistri spends a ton of time on the bench. Recently, however, the manager who kept him in the bench got sacked, and Pellistri's back to getting more minutes off the bench again.

I think regular international football in the recent windows has motivated Pellistri to look for more regular football, especially when he had several good moments for Uruguay. He has a great chance at making the 2022 World Cup squad, and that is only possible if he's getting regular first-team minutes. It's a good thing ten Hag's coming in as he's more keen on giving youngsters minutes than most coaches/managers.

I understand the sentiment, it was a poor summer window basically wasted waiting for Dortmund to sell Sancho, but there’s every chance Donny comes good under ETH, Cavani was a hero last season so not a bad free signing. We really don’t know what to expect from Pellistri and Amad because we never see them play. Both had shocking loans this season. Pellistri looked good in preseason for us however and Amad has looked good in the reserves so who knows.

What did the deleted tweet say roughly?

It referred to an Instagram post from an agent who works for an agency that Rüdiger is associated with. However, he's not his agent, and he's not working on any potential transfer to United.

Every signing is a potential risk and could be a hit or a miss. You just don't know. And hindsight is always a wonderful thing...unless you're telling me that you was dead against any of the signings you've mentioned at the time they joined United?
 


One relevant highlight from the article:


Note: the current restrictions are based on FIFA's rules banning U-18 transfers between clubs, not due to some new rule(s) based on Brexit. The FIFA rules have an exception for EU members, who can transfer players at the ages of 16 and 17 between each other.

Leceister link comes out of nowhere.

Surely Eriksen would end up back at Spurs rejoining Conte?

My guess is that it's based on Leicester's January inquiry for Eriksen because I haven't seen anything from the English journalists about this.
 


Looks like Luckhurst's recent article is mostly based on info before some of the more recent major events (ten Hag's appoint + Bout & Lawlor leaving).
 

It is true that City has put Gabriel Jesus up for sale, as @lancenet anticipated. Pending the right offer, he will leave this summer. He is not part of Guardiola's future plans. The Brazilian has a contract that ends in 2023.

Thanks for the update re Pellistri.

Can the know-nothing cretins who run our club stop pretending that they know what's best for the team and just let Eric and Ralf look for players thanks. If this is true, nothing has changed. We still have incompetent business people trying to make football decisions.

how do you know it isn’t under the recommendation?
