Yet Young fancies another extension off us. He has his uses, but surely there are better players out there. I doubt he will get much playing time except for the cups. Cannot see him being on the bench for the league games. If he changes things, it will be the ones who are now on the bench coming in and the ones he rests being on the bench if they are needed.
Yes he had a € 25 mln release clause but expired on 15 July..
Yup, I see him being useful when we go 3 at the back and Shaw/Valencia are either injured or need a rest or something. I like Ashley, right attitude and all that but I don't really see a place for him other than an emergency fullback/wingback.
Don't think Jose does either.
Decent move for Gibbs and West Brom.
Conte loves a target man, clearly isn't impressed with Batshuayi either.
Hey! *shakes fist angrily*
Wow that's worse than Fellaini to United deal then. I guess Juve being interested ruined others getting him for his release clause.
He's a big target man, who's also technically sound. He's caused us all sorts of problems every time we've played him.
So they loan out Batshitcrazy instead.
Don't think he is under threat. He has actually done well. Llorente might even be a backup at his age. Batshuayi is more at risk.
Unfortunately this week Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City are ALL going to buy a number of players which will definitely strengthen their squads. We should have been more pro-active this week and got a further signing.
Those who want us to sign any old Tom Dick or Harry just for the sake of signing players, they are idiots yes.
Yep pretty much.
Serge Aurier in the next few hours to Tottenham. Five years, 25 million euro
It's not a sign of weakness that we bought Matic, Lukaku and Lindelof "ages" ago.
We have plenty of squad players and there's not that many players available that can come straight into the first XI.
Great deal for Spurs. He's no downgrade on Walker.
Nah mate, it'll still be the team who has the most points after 38 games that wins it. Just letting Sanchez pick who wins it would be silly.
As a Liverpool fan it's hard not to get caught up in the muppetry of recent days, and the deal for Keita next season is obviously great, but, with two days left to buy, it's still all talk at the moment. How much of that talk is idle chat coming from fake ITKs and how much is fed from the club I know not. Either way, we've still not signed any of these recent 'targets' yet.
The best thing, realistically, I could hope for right now is that we sign VVD (or another highly rated CB) and keep Coutinho.
Think there are few available we just won't be held to ransom over them.
Bit miffed we are not going for Aurier 25m euros, I know I'm in the minority but I don't rate Valencia that highly.
Yes. He. Will. Great debate.
Seriously though, Sanchez added to the City attack makes them firm favourites. Yes they have defensive issues but they will blow all teams away and will go far in the CL also. It has to be a concern.
Get the feeling United are restricted in how much they can spend at the moment. Looks like they'd rather save money for next year. Not sure this is smart business, given the need for wingers and strikers in the current team and I'm sure we'll end up regretting not building our squad this summer.
The thing is Valencia is getting a bit older and also heard he has some injurry concerns. It is likley he can't play every game and he also shouldn't. Aurier would have been grant for rotation and Valencia could also surely use the competition. Aso Aurier, he can play leftback, he has done that before, ok not his primary position but just saying Aurier could have been usefull for us in many aspects.
Also for 25m, that is just peanuts. Pretty sure he is going to set the league on fire at spurs and we will be left wondering again how on earth we missed out on this deal. It just doesn't make sense. We need a fullback and here you have a good one available for 25m and we just let him walk to spurs. You can just see it happening that next year United will want to sign him and Spurs will say he will cost us 75m...
Don't you guys make a ridiculous amount of money though? I thought that United's spending was fairly unrestricted?
