On a personal note, i'm would love to see them building more from within and start Rashford and even McTomnay, but that's not how Mourinho rolls. I like the Dalot signing, hopefully it will pan out, but the Fred signing reminds me of Anderson, but i've been wrong before, i guess we'll see.

Would love United to make these moves

Smalling and Cash for Alderwiered
Jones and Cash for Maguire

Let Darmian and Martial leave

Then sign 1 of Midfield/Winger.......William, Savic, Persisic, or other

Would like them to really build a solid squad at all 4 levels with depth. This team just doesn't seem built right. Along with Mo's complaining everyday. Hard to get excited sometimes.

Why the **** would we want Jones?

I realise that Manure fans think they're the cream but when our owners say no they mean no.

You won't get Maguire this year.

I think either defensemen and why? Gives you a solid replacement plus some cash. LC hasn't come out and fully said they won't sell. For the right price, anyone would.

So you think that Leicester want to replace a young up and coming defender with a slow tired out has been. Why should we? Are prem teams only around to feed the so called big 6? Are we a farm team?

You seem to think all of the above.

We don't need to sell. We don't need the money. Harry is on a 4 year contract (at a much lower price than Jones or Smalling). And yes Leicester City have stated that Maguire is not for sale.

Tell you what we,ll give you ulloa and cash for Martial okay?

All teams should consider selling players if they are going to get a ton over there normal worth. Maguire isn't worth what the rumors are asking. I'd happily sell you guys Martial. I don't understand his head space so moving him would only make sense.

The only reason I'd throw in another defender is it could give you another guy, probably on the cheap side of things. What if you couldn't get another transfer before it closes.

Mourinho should let Martial go, if the kid doesn't want to stay he's not gonna be of any help and his market value will go down

A deal with Leicester exchanging Martial +££ for Maguire should improve the first team. Starting Maguire >>> substitute Martial

Let Darmian and Rojo leave

Martial for Pulisic

Sign any of the Alderiweired, Mina, Maguire or any other defenders.

Craafty16 · Post #531 » by **Craafty16** » Mon Jul 30, 2018 10:32 am

Mina is ****.

Haven't watched him much, just know he is linked. Anyone is better than what we have now.

Get rid of Mourinho.

I don't see how Mourinho ever lands a major coaching gig again if this is how he's going to behave.

Spens1 · Post #535 » by **Spens1** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 1:56 am

We have to sack him. Should have been sacked for our Champions League performance (i would have contacted Tottenham and saw if we could buy him out of his contract and bring him here and try and get Alli and Kane, offer them Lukaku + a ton of cash to get it done also).

Wisky4life · Post #536 » by **Wisky4life** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 2:04 am

Yeah I'd sack Mo. Would love to have Klopp come over.

Sign Alderwiered for $60 mil and Rebic for $40 mil......................................................$100 Million
Sell Martial to PSG for $70 mil, Rojo to Everton for $30 mil and Darmian for $20 million.........$120 Million

Move on and make different moves in January or next Summer.

Pochettino turned down Real Madrid, the biggest coaching job in the world, to stay with Spurs. Man United need to start making savvy signings and academy promotions to find their own Kanes and Allis like they used to, rather than poaching other teams' best players for exorbitant fees and integrating them poorly like some oil club.

Did he? If memory recalls, he had already signed a new contract prior to Zidane walking.

Yeah. Pochettino was Real's number one coaching target, that's common knowledge. It would be naive to think that they hadn't approached him prior to Zidane's dismissal, since everyone knew he was gone despite their CL success. There is no way he signs that contract if he wanted the Real job.

We've been behaving like an oil club to be fair. We do have our academy guys also, just not on that level (Rashford and Lingard are both pretty good, Smalling is more or less a player we've developed). Also Pereira should be coming in this season i think.

Also we could pay him a lot of money and promise him a massive transfer budget as well. I mean we need to at least try (i mean the United job is bigger than Spurs and it keeps him in England, which may be what he wants, the main thing though is we're 100 times more patient than real madrid).
