And how do you propose that? Sell them for nothing and also pay their wages?I would sold anyone who is above 25 bar Martinez, Shaw. Sell the cnuts and start proper building of the team.
Mainoo
Yoro
Martinez
Diallo
Shaw
Hojlund
Zirkze
Fatso from Bayern if we sign him
Ugarte
Nacho
Dalot
Sell them and finally start rebuilding. 1 or 2 wilderness are nothing. We are shit for decade. Can't stand players who are "good enough".
Build the frame of the team and then add 2-3 player every years to keep everyone on the toes.
First step, would be to not overvaule our players. Just ship them out and start fresh.And how do you propose that? Sell them for nothing and also pay their wages?
Whatever the reason I am glad. Seens criminally untapped market for league, let alone club and of of the few leagues where theres genuine value tooAre a lot of the French based players being linked because of the INEOS / Nice connection? Or is it just that maybe, initially, we could be targeting those known players at this early stage of our recruitment rebuild?
If the players we're linked with aren't Dutch / Dutch connected (Zirkzee, De Ligt, Simons, Amrabat) - which gets a lot of mentions - then they're mostly French based - which doesn't.
I'm happy with the two signings so far, and some of the bigger links - Ugarte and De Ligt especially. But you could make an argument that, so far, we've only really added one extra layer (French based) to the former Dutch one.![]()
This I find strange. We have slated Pogba and more recently Rashford as two talented players that have shown no consistency.But largely amongst the fan base Fernandes has escaped criticism....last season he was really inconsistent until the last 6/7weeks of the season so how is he the one we can rely on and rely on for what....attitude,no injuries and working hard.....as despite being a verygood player capable of decisive moments in terms of cosistency of performance he hasnt been reliable at allWe cant afford to lose Bruno - the only experienced player we can truly rely on.
You've answered your own question a bit here. Bruno's form is inconsistent but he always puts a shift in, unlike Rashford and Pogba.This I find strange.

That's fine for the future but what do you propose we do about the ones we already have? They have contracts.First step, would be to not overvaule our players. Just ship them out and start fresh.
Build the young core, we are not winning league next year anyway, and build on that.
80 mill + Ugarte + Simons
Structured with 40 for Simons 40 for and 160 for Fernandes
Not really, relying on a star man toalways put in a shift despite being inconsistent, is surprising it escapes criticism, not something worthy ofcommending ,it should normal....but the main point is this doesnt make a player irreplacable which a lot of people are saying.You've answered your own question a bit here. Bruno's form is inconsistent but he always puts a shift in, unlike Rashford and Pogba.
Tier 2:
This is lazy journalism, everyone and their dog knows this wouldnt happen and he would get another chance. we are not covered there either.We cant even shift the current Sancho, this guy is still two Sancho's down the line after we get rid of original Sancho and the next Sancho (Antony).
Bunch more posts deleted, and two edited, to keep the politics out the thread and prevent ending up with half-baked discussions. As @Fortitude said, feel free to discuss Mazraoui's political views in the CE.OK. Please do not sidetrack the transfer thread. If you want to have a deep discussion about Mazraoui‘s political stance, take it to the CE forum.
I don’t want to hand out threadbans so please heed.
Now that’s a concern. We don’t need a player who gets 5 different muscular injuries per seasonhe'll be 27 in november plus he's injury prone. 5 different injuries last season all muscular, 19 games missed.
I can only assume the lack of love for this post is because the forums full of kids who don’t remember VIvNot sure about Vanderson. Think I'd prefer Pevra or Dirwin.
Also they're struggling for a TV dealThe French league has a lot of young talent available for far less than the relative cost in any of the other big leagues. Also has the highest success rate of players adopting to the PL, so makes sense for us to look there. INEOS do probably have a broad knowledge of the best talents in that league too. We have been linked with some players from Spain, Norway and South America also. Whether we'll actually sign someone from there we'll need to see. I suspect we might sign some less known youngsters later in the window once our main business is done.
I think you have hit the nail on the head, you only have to read the ridiculous comments about past United players on here, I swear most never saw them play and go off statistics. By the way the comment from Bertie Wooster was very cleverI can only assume the lack of love for this post is because the forums full of kids who don’t remember VIv
Big Viv will always be fondly remembered as Fergies 1st signingI can only assume the lack of love for this post is because the forums full of kids who don’t remember VIv
Getting rid of AWB to get an injury-prone player makes no sense. Not even comparable to De Ligt's injuries.Not a fan of Mazraoui, never find him anything special he'll be 27 in november plus he's injury prone. 5 different injuries last season all muscular, 19 games missed. Looking at his injury record it seems he struggles with those muscular injuries. First quality is availability, it's not only the games missed due to injury but the days/weeks after the recovery to gain fitness and how you have to deal with it so the player doesnt get another muscular injury.
We should stay away from this one.
AWB had a bunch of injury issues himselfGetting rid of AWB to get an injury-prone player makes no sense. Not even comparable to De Ligt's injuries.
Especially when we had injury issues last season and we were dependent on AWB. Not getting that. Makes sense business-wise re: PSR but not as a football decision.
not comparable to Mazraoui at allAWB had a bunch of injury issues himself

My thought exactly. Seems like the media are spinning with so many stories and that United are beeing linked to random players.Suddenly becoming silly season again where we are being linked with everybody. Surely we need some outgoings now to create funds? Feel like things will go slow for a while now while we struggle to shift players.
Covers United and City for the Athletic so he's reliable.How reliable is this Sheldon fella?
Good to know, thanks.Covers United and City for the Athletic so he's reliable.

But largely amongst the fan base Fernandes has escaped criticism...
Premier league buys primarily from the French league though:
Ligue 1, the French top division where Yoro shot to prominence last season, is where the Premier League’s 20 clubs have collectively spent more than any other overseas league in the past decade.
The outlay stood at £1.81billion ($2.34bn) in the previous 10 years ahead of this summer and, in all probability, will soar past the £2bn mark in the next six weeks. The weight of numbers making the move to the Premier League from French clubs — 145 players and counting — is also unsurpassed.
No other European league has received more of the Premier League’s riches through transfer fees than France’s top division since 2014, although Spain’s La Liga and Germany’s Bundesliga are not far behind.
You should jump to his performance thread at any given page last seasonThis I find strange.

His numbers are more consistent than the former two and he's still often slated - go to his performances threadThis I find strange.

His workrate and attitude have been pretty reliable. Outside of that, things depend on the team performances as a whole which were under par.This I find strange.

There are three factors to consider here ;We bought 173m worth of players last summer. We have already spent 80m this summer and it will end up at easily over 150m.
Our wage bill isnt even that high. As a precentage of turnover we are quiet low compared to our rivals.

It’s exactly that, the club under competent management understand, that the positions need filling and they are working on 2 or 3 options in each position so if a club thinks they can manipulate us, we’ll simply very politely move on to another target.My thought exactly. Seems like the media are spinning with so many stories and that United are beeing linked to random players.
Also it might be the clubs strategy to have three players they're looking at in every position. For every position we're trying to strengthen there is three players beeing linked to us.
