Buy Koulibaly or Skriniar in January. We should look to buy de ligt in the summer and get rid of Jones, rojo,Damian, Valencia and either smalling or Bailly.
If you were to do a PL back 4 then VVd and Robertson would be in itWe agree to disagree. I do not think Liverpool have so much more quality except at the back.

Sorry misread itI did say except at the back
Have they? Di Marzio said that they want €80m but PSG refused to pay that and valued him between €40-50m. Here's the article: https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/napoli-from-allan-to-lozano-the-situationNapoli have just turned down €80m from PSG for Allan. Daring them to go up to €100m to sell.
Heard today PSG went up to 80 but Napoli now want to see whether they can get 100Have they? Di Marzio said that they want €80m but PSG refused to pay that and valued him between €40-50m. Here's the article: https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/napoli-from-allan-to-lozano-the-situation
Although, I'm sure other (unreliable) Italian sources may have stated that PSG will bid €100m as a means to increase the fee Napoli get.
I think the only position we are better in terms of quality and depth is GK.We agree to disagree. I do not think Liverpool have so much more quality except at the back.
Money + playersNapoli have just turned down €80m from PSG for Allan. Daring them to go up to €100m to sell.
Koulibaly will cost €120m now and in the summer. Wait and see
Irrespective of the price, signing a top class defender can make a huge difference. United signing Vidic was a huge turning point for the club. A solid defence is the difference between sloppy dropped points and a scratchy 1-0 win.Funny how the VVD transfer has convinced every one that an expensive CB can transform a whole club.
Its true, we are going to have to make some bold, aggressive moves in the transfer market if we want to seriously challenge city and get back to winning titlesWe are Man f*#*#ing United! Sell Rojo, Jones and Bailly and splash out on Koulibaly and De Ligt. 150m+ who cares, we should be spending like this if we are to take ourselves seriously. Since when and how are we not linked to be favourites for these stars/potential stars.
Us signing Evra, Vidic and Carrick made the difference. Not Vidic alone. We don't have quality throughout the squad as we didn't back then hence we needed so many players to complete the side, exactly what we need now. Not just one ultra expensive defender, several high quality players.Irrespective of the price, signing a top class defender can make a huge difference.

Agree 100%The figures of 80-100 million is a huge amount, but if we get him this window (chances are slim), he will play a big role in us getting into top 4 and going deep into the CL. And if we do that, he has already paid back a portion of his transfer fee
Whether it's 1 or 5, the most important thing in a signing is that they're good enough. United need a defensive leader to organise the backline and have done for years. If it takes big money, so be it. Better that than 3 failed attempts to do it on the cheap.Us signing Evra, Vidic and Carrick made the difference. Not Vidic alone.

This, it's so hard to explain this to people on this forum.This is why clubs would get ruined, if run by fans. We have to be realistic here. We have some areas in the squad to strengthen. CB, LB (back up), RB, CM and RW.
We can’t just go and afford to splash obscene amounts on players. If we were a CB signiaway from competing for the league, I’d love for us to go out and spend €100m on Koulibaly. However, the reality is we’re not. We need to strengthen in other areas too.
For January, if we could, I’d sell Rojo, Jones & Darmian and then bring in TA, De Ligt & De Jong.
Is he that good?Sign him and we’ll win the CL.
Get it done, Woody.
Watch him against PSG And Liverpool this recent CL. Sure there will be highlights.Is he that good?
Sign him up then, maybe we can win those Van Dijk's purists on caf.Watch him against PSG And Liverpool this recent CL. Sure there will be highlights.
I’ve never seen a defender deal with Mbappe and Salah as well as he did. Add to the fact he’s great on the ball too, he’s as good as Van Dijk IMO.
Im not sure he is aerially, he’s certainly quicker and I think on the ball he is. Different CBs but same level. Those two together would be insane.Watch him against PSG And Liverpool this recent CL. Sure there will be highlights.

Think this is a good point as I think we have a lot better chance of making top 4 than a few weeks ago, as our rivals may be signing players now, this deal would make sense.Chelsea and arsenal are looking to invest this window, we are behind them in the league. Pay the money now and get this top 4 and it will save money in the long run. Koulibaly would make a huge difference.
Who knows, but a man can dream.Is he that good?
Obviously isn’t quite as tall as VVD but he seems pretty good in the air himself, haven’t checked the stats though.Im not sure he is aerially, he’s certainly quicker and I think on the ball he is. Different CBs but same level. Those two together would be insane.
Agree with this. I think people should get used to having to pay stupid money for players these days or we are not going to get them.If he's as good as Van Dijk (as many people have stated) then we should pay whatever it takes to get him.
Trying to find 'bargains' at centre-back hasn't worked; we need to pay what it takes to sort the position out properly.
Now I’ve got a friend who follows Serie A religiously who has it down that he’s actually quite a bit better than VVD when comes to actual defending, just not necessarily the leadership side of things that VVD has.He's definitely not as good as Van Dijk, not as good in the air and he slide tackles way too much which is never a good sign for a defender. Much better than what we've got but if people are expecting a Van Dijk transformation they'll end up disappointed.
Nothing wrong with a slide tackle in a controlled,timed manner.He's definitely not as good as Van Dijk, not as good in the air and he slide tackles way too much which is never a good sign for a defender. Much better than what we've got but if people are expecting a Van Dijk transformation they'll end up disappointed.
