Transfer discussion thread

What a fall from grace.

Hes a handy depth footballer, but if he wants to play Villa is more his level.

Liking the Rudiger to Spurs talk.

All or nothing approach by Levy on this deal surely

 

[apollo_creed]

and?

It’s alot of money for a team with a defence that is still shit and remains the reason you have done **** all in the Champions League. Conceding too many has been your issue in QF ties.

If Pep wants to know how to win Champions League titles with two different clubs I’m sure there’s one or two managers around who can offer some advice.

 

[moomba]

It's also one of the reasons we've won 6 domestic trophies in the last 3 years.

Money well spent.

I'm not

I'm not

Neither.
Would have to buy a hearing aid for him.

Who knows if there was anything said to him. I'm not going to question what he heard.
That's not really my concern though. If we get Rudiger it means we have missed on our main target and it just adds another average CB to the squad when we need a top level one

DiMarzio] West Ham offer Fiorentina €25m for Milenkovic

Presumably West Ham aren't really serious then.

Of course. Certainly possible.

The club put out numerous statements on it though and some came from high up in the club, said to be very unhappy at the bad press received for something not proven, based on that alone doubt Levy would want him.

Apparently the other EPL club was Newcastle.

Can’t say I know much about him but position wise exactly what we need.

[drd23]

He needs a fresh start. I think he can still play well for someone - it just won't be Atletico as he never really built any confidence and has now become a bit of a whipping boy for the fans

 

[HolyRioli]

Buy-back clause insisted upon by Bayern - needless to say if they exercise it he's probably done decently.

Watch his highlights Video. Has looked good when he was given the chance. Just wasn’t given enough. Loves himself more than most people though. Check his Instagram. Any fringe player with their own branding and hashtag worries me attitude wise

Well no because the targets are very clear, they wanted Maguire, they got him, they wanted Bruno, they got him, they wanted VDB, they got him, they want Sancho and time will tell.

I reckon they have improved their transfer strategy recently. Those signings you mentioned plus Wan-Bissaka.

Before that the approach was fairly scattergun. Quite a few big name signings that came and went without making much of an impact.

Sánchez
Mkhitaryan
Schneiderlin
Depay
Falcao
Fellaini
Rojo

Pogba will also be in that category if he leaves. Lukaku did well at times but moved on after a couple of seasons.

Yeh read the buyback is 50-60mil.

Mkhitaryan was one of the great fleecings of all time. 40m for a player in his last year of contract who was valued at 10m less

[Bradesmaen]

Look, a def.... oh wait an attacker. That'll solve those issues at the back.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

Perhaps but United just seem to have no clear plan on who they are after. Just a scattergun approach. Has been like that for years.

Not since Ole came in actually.

Maguire & Bruno were targets in multiple transfer windows before they were signed, we've also been chasing Sancho hard for a long time. Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James transfers were quite drawn out. The Van de Beek links had been gathering a lot of pace towards the end of last season too.

In fact I would argue that we are seeing the complete opposite to a "scattergun approach" with "no clear plan on who they are after". It is clear as day (for years now) that they are after Sancho and IMO the lack of action is due to the fact that there is no plan B. It is frustrating at the moment but I'm OK with it in the long run. I'd rather get Sancho next season than settle for someone else now.

Absolutely, no arguments here.

Reckon we'll definitely loan someone.

None of it was scattergun prior too. They just bought poorly like they have done with Ole.
