Tier 2:


Rashford's contract renewal will take a little longer to finalise, but the hope is still there for his and de Gea's new contract. There's no mention of Dalot's contract situation.
 
He's not worth 150m, no player is. We should offer Napoli 70m and tell the player to stick in a transfer request.

Doesn't work like that I'm afraid.

Inflated market + hot prospect + 1st team player & Napoli having the Italian version Levy coupled with Chelsea stupidly spending 100m+ on Enzo

Mean Osimhen will definitely cost around 120m+

Depend on which transfer you see as right value to use as bench mark.

Antony, Mudryk, Darwin Nunez...? Then Osimhen is definitely 120+mil. Varane fee when he moved to us? Majority of high profile transfer is overpaying.

Napoli so no point in trying to low ball, knowing it's not gonna work.

Sensible good post.
 
What’s the point? They already have Valverde, Tchouameni and Camavinga

Valverde is mostly played on the right wing and the Kroos + Modric combo is close to a retirement. A midfield trio of Tchoumeni, Camavinga and Bellingham makes perfect sense.

Who've been playing alongside Kroos and Modric this season, and still getting regular games. When your first priority is success and you've consequently been successful (albeit with some shenanigans' around training ground purchases in recent years, and historically with boosting from your country's military regime and the spanish crown in the course of building your reputation as a club) and your presidents are genuinely accountable to fans instead of having a parasitic host attached to your club servicing debt and its own greed, then this is the kind of stuff you do to consolidate your position. Plus they're going to lose the league this year by 9-12 points to their 'real' arch rivals, so anything that raises first team levels another few percent....

He might well 'cost' 120m but doesn't mean a club should or will pay the plusvalenze price. Except Chelsea, but they're an awful shower of stupid cnuts.

I hope De Geas wages are seriously reduced to reflect his current ability amongst his GK peers.
 
I’d do a one shot take it or leave it offer to Spurs and if Levy decides to be a cock go all out for Osimhen. For the price quoted I’m not sure about Muanis consistency.

Have we the budget to go all out though?
 
Tier 1:


Ten Hag wants a striker first and foremost but also wants a new midfielder this summer.
 
I’m sure we’ll be fine, there will be plenty of outgoings this summer.
Even if you’re going to blow it all on one position Osimhen is probably the one.

Kane/Osimhen and Thuram would do nicely,we can then continue to monitor Hojlund/Ferguson progress over next year or two
 
Thuram on a free, Raya on the cheap, Sabitzer and/or Rabiot, CF, and RB.

Can see Maguire sticking around, but if he's sold which would be preferred, along with Telles, Bailly, Henderson, Elanga, McTominay, possibly Dalot or AWB, Williams. That could do it in terms of having a sizable budget.

My only concern with that is it lacks a backup CB,also is there enough playmaking ability in that midfield area

There is enough in the midfield, but it will need to be addressed again, which isn't a bad thing.

Forward line is set with Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho, Antony, Amad, Thuram, another CF, Pellestri even.

Selling Maguire, McTominay, and Henderson should raise enough money to sign a young and a little raw CB. This is where the revamped scouting and analytics has to come into play. Quality depth players who can improve, but have value.

Can Rabiot/Sabitzer progress the ball enough
 

The whole "even that he doesn't score he's makes the team play better" narrative has died now. He's not even starting with Martial, unsurprisingly, injured.

So absolutely no chance about this happening.
 
Can Rabiot/Sabitzer progress the ball enough

I think Rabiot is better than Sabitzer in ball progression, but we've seen that Sabitzer has the right application, drive, and talent as a midfielder or central attacking midfielder when it comes to pressing, late runs, not afraid to link around the box, shoot/score, and allows for the team to be flexible.

A midfield of Casemiro, Rabiot, Eriksen, Sabitzer, Fred, and possibly Lavia. Then next summer, we'd have to look for a longer-term solution to supplant Eriksen and Rabiot. So in a few years, theoretically, it could be Lavia (CDM), the new CM, Hannibal, and the holder heads of Casemiro, Rabiot, possibly Sabitzer. Fred would be phased out by then.

It would do it in terms of having no suad players as well.
