Yeah, definitely. He won't actually count as HG until he has another season with us but that doesn't matter at the minute as he is still under 21.

Yeah it's not even about the quotas so much as actually bring youngsters through your system and establishing an identity within the club.

Not to say there isn't an identity, but showing kids in the academy examples of guys who've gone on to star in the first team adds a lot.
 
Absolutely. No big name players out there, however, there are some very good players available.

Although, some journalists have reported Pedro will be our last signing.
I don't want us signing a big name that we don't actually need just to sell shirts. Just sign someone we need like a CB.

Pedro + another attacker, I hope.

Not too fussed with regards to a CB. I think van Gaal trusts his current pack, which is good to see.
 
Conveniently ignoring that we've bought in four players, one of whom is likely on as much as ADM/RvP were.

I'm sure we're still comfortably in positive figures but I doubt it's close to that amount.
True, but people do forget just how many big wage players have left over the last 2 years when judging our outflows. Rio, Vidic, Evra etc. earlier as well.
 
Any idea on what our new signings would be on? Could the net figure be enough for 1 super star?
Tweets like that are simplistic bullshit because they ignore the fact we have signed new players and have one of the healthiest set of financials in world football.

I'm sure we'd have the funds to pay a world class player top wages if we needed to, regardless of the likes of RVP and AdM being moved on. United are a money making machine and thats only going to be compounded by the £750 million deal we've just started with Adidas.

Falcao, Nani, Rafael etc I can believe the figures tbh. Only Bastian will be on a huge amount out of the signings made.
Falcao, RVP, and ADM would have all been on huge wages, plus also Nani and Rafeal decent wages.

We've also brought in Mata, Herrera, Rojo, Shaw, Fellaini, all of whom are reportedly on 90k+. Blind probably a little lower. Add to that Rooney's bumper contract and I'd say, even with the departure of those players, we still have the league's biggest wage bill.

I'm not saying we've not spent. I'm saying one has to take both sides into account.
 
Highly unlikely Griezmann comes here even for cash. I doubt Atletico want to sell at all.
He is a huge United fan I thought? That can make a big difference. Also, as he's not Spanish we won't have the 'dream' of playing for Madrid later on.
 


Barrett has also said we are giving McCarthy and Mirallas new contracts. Good news. Hopefully an exciting end to the window for us.

Well it does seem so, but being a supporter rarely has much of an impact on transfers. I'd love to see him here but it really does look like he's Atletico's long term project with Koke.
 
Probably offer a world record smashing fee for Bale with huge wages.

The thing is though, to improve on last year we would have expected to spend more and more money. The fact that we already had the means to increase our spending, coupled with the masses of money saved on departing players, means we're in excellent shape financially. The players we've signed will be on fractions compared to those who've gone.

I'm not doubting any of that, I just think the tweet paints a false picture, is all.

If you think that Schweinsteiger is on 200k or more you are that wrong. All reports from Germany claimed he will be on around 150k pounds.
Depay is probably on around 100k i wouldn't be suprised if he get less than that, Schneiderlin i would say around 90k, Darmian 60k and Romero probably don't get big wages.
So that combined our new players are on something like 400k pounds.

I don't think he's on 200k or more because neither were ADM or RvP.

RVP was on 250K according to most reports wasnt he, second highest wage in the league behind Rooney. And Di Maria on £200k?
