To be fair, given PSG have not paid the release clause yet there is an very clear case of tapping up
Who are these higher targets we should be aiming for at LW and DM? Lets assume we have around 100m to spend (that is 200m this year), who do people want to buy, seeing that we have to buy those two style of players, and that we want a dribbling crossing winger and a pure DM?
I think Bale would be the prototype pacey, dribbling, crossing winger. In terms of dm, I don't think there are any world class options out there for the role, but there are definitely great players that should be available. My first choice would be Danilo Pereira but tbh I don't even think we need an amazing dm, just a good one. Their main function will ultimately be to get the best out of other players really.
What about Mahrez as a winger option?
Bale is a great winger but he is going to be 70m+ surely? That and his record of injuries is a worry. Mahrez I would give you, other than the fact he really isnt a crossing winger is he? played on the right as a left footer so he could cut in and shoot. Dont think he has ever been a tradityional winger.
DM I am struggling I dont think Matic should be more than 30m.

The media is trying too hard to make Jose collide with the board and got sacked just like what they were doing with Conte at the beginning of the window. They just want any collision to fill their paper about it.
BS journalists.
You are a business man. You gave a manager a ton of money to spend and came 6th and save for a Guidetti miss, we might have not have been in the CL this year. Would you be so quick to open the bank so easily 12 months after?
So 48 hours?
The same as "Morata to Utd in 48 hours".
Or my favourite, "Perisic to Utd in 48 hours".
These guys know nothing and make things up as they go along. The problem is that nobody calls them out on the BS, after the 48 hour deadlines pass.
Tight purse strings five, six years ago allowed a two decade foundation of success to nearly collapse when the man holding it together retired.
We've gone through two managers that did anything but restore us to glory. And third time around you've got a manager that attracts talent, achieved immediate success in his first season and has always made it clear he needs more. If you ignored the last five years you can claim we don't need more or better players. If you're fine with becoming a Liverpool or Leeds then you can turn a blind eye. But if your business is predicated on clubs long term sporting success you're a fool to do so.
As an aside, awful way to think , bringing up Gudetti's missed goal. (Football) History is made of missed and made chances. If you switched it around, even just single goals you'd be rewriting history and Champions and records of all sorts. Utter nonsense.
Good post. The reality of the state of our club is that we need to allow a manager who has the ability and vision to spend the money and rebuild our team. If we won't let him spend to rebuild the way he wants or put complete trust in him, why keep him in the manager role? If the ones managing the finances are not giving him what he wants, then they should rebuild the team themselves which they are not capable of...
Edit: I just want to be clear that I am not saying our club finance folks are not backing Jose. I am just sharing my views in general.

We have spent 105 million this summer (with willingness to spend more on targets at prices which are not obscene even in this market )and spent loads including a world record fee last summer.
What are some of you on about as if we are penny pinching like Juve (Cl finalist incidentally).
I mean we aren't matching City or PSG like some seemingly want but are up there with anyone else. We have spent bucketloads after SAF btw, and surely some would have learnt spending doesn't guarantee success.

Just another example on here of when someone says something that they don't like, the source is useless etc.
It's pretty obvious there is truth to it. The season starts in 2 weeks and we still need at least 2 players.

Looks like we are not getting any more players.
Only one new tweet on the last two pages. Sod off with your discussions lads or there'll be more threadbans.
Same goes when someone says something you believe and think yourself.. there's always some truth in it supposedly.
Based on what?
That's pretty sad. People praying and hoping Fellaini will go when we should be happy about an addition to our squad.
Just a thought. Jose wanted players early before the season starts I reckon, now we are less than 2 weeks before the premiere league go ahead, and it's getting harder to sign good players as time goes by. Don't know hopefully I'm totally wrong and the man brings what he wants.
Ideally he would have had all the players he wants already but we have a whole month to get the deals sorted.
Gotta love how he's pretending to have been told by an insider when the galatasaray manager has already spoken about it in an interview
So what are they going to say? 'They pay what we asked!!' - 'So...?'
Think it's getting to the point where Woody will have to call Raiola and ask him to send us another of his players.
But in this case there is only one player of Raiola's contingent that we may be interested in. Veratti...
Every word is true mate. Pleb has given his approval.
I'm sure he'll have a few bargain bin players he could send our way.
Raiola seems to also be acting as an intermediary for players who aren't on his books. And subsequently getting paid well too
Spot on there. You got to trust Jose and his plan on how he wants to go about games but if we are talking about paying over the odds, Fellaini is an odd one. Flat track bully nothing more
Don't mince. Us against the world mentality posing as the best with an authoritarian club tone is different from Mourinho's victim toned dito.
Then why bother reading this thread?
Anything but actually. His best games for us came against either top opposition or big stake matches.
Do they think it will escape UEFA's attention if they don't report it?
It'll make the meltdowns when he is still here even funnier.
might actually grab the bubbly if this Fellaini thing materialises
