I love doing shit like this too but then I get angry at myself for realising it's ridiculous and would never happen in real life.

Sigh me too - don't often do this but after the past couple of weeks I can't stop thinking about how drastic our changes need to be, which naturally leads to speculation on who might sign.

One of the big issues with having study leave from work and too much time on your hands I guess

Bailly + cash for Ndombele, quick before someone snaps him up

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

But... in your heart you believe we probably haven’t given it any thought?

Thought yes....

A clear plan, specific targets, Oles involvement, an understanding how the targets fit into an overall plan/style, ideas about how to attract those players, backstop dates so we don't get strung along like in previous windows, clear Plan B... not so sure.

 

[Harry190]

Times have changed. Shouldn't just sign best talent in the British Isles as they are not good enough. You think that's Manchester City's or Liverpool's strategy. We need quality players no matter where they are from. Also, before you say I am against signing those players, I think Jadon Sancho would be a good signing. Whereas Declan Rice wouldn't. So sick of people thinking we should sign the best players from the British Isles cos it was our tradition.

Who says we're signing all of them? I'm not even from the isles but can understand the importance of tradition at United. There might be turmoil, but a large part of the older fanbase was attracted by that.

Bailly + cash for one of Aouar or Ndombele

We should definitely try and sign someone in return if possible. Aouar maybe if Pogba leaves?

If offered that they would just sign a different CB.

 

[Darlington Padgett]

Wouldn't be overly fussed if Pogba/Lukaku left - provided we replace them with actual quality.

Top class (or potentially top class) creative midfielder + a goalscorer.

If you believe everything you read, I reckon a good (but super active) window should look like this:

OUT
Romelu Lukaku
Paul Pogba
Alexis Sanchez
Ander Herrera
Juan Mata
Marcos Rojo
Matteo Darmian
Phil Jones
Antonio Valencia

IN
Mauro Icardi (swap with Rom)
Bruno Fernandes - £75m
Hirving Lozano - £35m
Adrien Rabiot - Free
Ruben Neves - £65m
Toby Alderweireld - £25m
Thomas Meunier - £25m

Gross Spend - £225m

Potential XI:

Martial - Icardi - Lozano
Rabiot - Bruno
Neves
Shaw - Alderweireld - Lindelof - Meunier
De Gea​

Icardi is the one player that no matter how talented he is we should never buy and Lozano had a bad knee injury today.

 

[OohAahMartial]

How bad an injury?? Real shame.

Aouar is the star of that duo for me. Such an intelligent player.

Would be the best case scenario in my eyes, if Pogba does leave.

 

[Hawks2008]

Aouar is the star of that duo for me. Such an intelligent player.

I agree he is excellent and the one I prefer of the two, but Ndombele would still be a good addition.

Bailly has not played much and it kind of makes sense to either go all in and give him minutes or sell him. Not let him play one match every second month. Doubt United will sell Lindelof however.

This is the sole reason why i still buy Fifa. Once in a while I start a new career with Manchester United and just sell all the deadwood in one summer.

Bailly can still become a great defender but he needs minutes, and trust. Give him a full season or sell him.

Exactly my point as well. He is a "development project" who can turn out good or bad but without investing the minutes, and taking the risk to lose some points, he has not chance to develop. He is in the age where he needs to play matches. If United decide to bring back Tuanzebe, I think Bailly must be sold.

I initially wanted us to loan him out, but selling him with a buy-back option may be best.

Slowly but surely his fan club will pull their heads out of the sand. This guy is not a club man, at the first sign of trouble he went on the hunt for a new club (January 17/18), long before there were dressing room problems. Fantastic player but only if he is committed to us, if he wants to leave you take the money and reinvest.

This ended with a good pay deal for Rooney last time out.

 

[Devil may care]

Pogba being concerned about the direction of the club is completely reasonable, I think we are all concerned given we have a very inexperienced, unproven manager, greedy owners that only care about money and no DOF along with mad talk of Phelan and Fletcher being made heads of recruitment.

He should be concerned, just like the rest of us.

 

[breakout67]

He should be concerned, just like the rest of us.

The only thing he is concerned about is himself. He was sounding out moves in January 2018, and made a power play with the manager this season (Me or Mourinho). If he jumps ship this summer then he has fecked us over, we made him the star of the team, changed tactics to suit him and he still leaves.

If course he is concerned about himself but he probably just don't see us challenging for anything important anytime soon, like the most of us. Some of the decisions made by the club in the last few years are truly baffling. We will be in the battle for TOP 4 for the years to come, no good players will want to waste their best years on that.

I think you're right, but the only worry for me is there is no guarantee that that money will be used to reinvest in the team. Or if it is, that it will be invested properly.

 

[Sanche7]

Its better for Pogba to move on now. We need a big rebuild and we need to know who is staying and who is leaving.Pogba is the only WC or near WC outfield player we have and so we should be building our team around him. But if he is planning on leaving, now or in two years, then we shouldn’t build the team around him. We should be looking for a new talisman. So in that regard it’s better Pogba moves now,both for him and United. It will take us years to complete this rebuild and right after we build the team around Pogba,if he decides to leave,we are fecked again.

Also I don’t blame him for wanting to leave, we won’t be winning much for a few years and so a player like him should be considering moving somewhere else,especially when his idol calls him to play for him. Not to mention, playing with a disinterested Pogba is like playing with 10 men. Get as much cash as we can from his sale and invest wisely. There are a lot of good deals out there this summer and if we invest wisely,we will be a better team.

And he is part of the reason why. This seems to evade a lot of people's heads but football is a team game and you live and die with your team. A player that is willing to absolve themselves of blame while being there for 3 seasons is extremely solipsistic. I never believed about dressing room problems when they first started being talked about last season, but slowly but surely players like Lukaku and Pogba are showing themselves to be disruptive influences. I should have seen it coming when the arrival of one player on high wages made them throw their toys out the pram, bunch of spoilt twats.

Looks like Pogba's agent is ramping up the narrative to me. I agree with both views above i don't blame him for his concerns or that he wants to go but i think he's wanted out for some time and wouldn't have stayed anyway. He's a fair weather player.
