Tim Sherwood on Talksport this morning saying we need to place the future of the club in the hands of young players like Rashford and Lingard. Lingard who is 27 in December. Why do people still think he's a young player? It's like a bizarre other-universe!

Only God knows what Atletico Madrid do give their academy kids. Didn't Koke turn down a move to Barca to remain in Atletico. Anything in the water there?
It's just him. He's always been fiercely loyal to Atletico, even criticized Griezmann when the latter deliberated a move away. I never expected him to leave.

I think as a club they have created a great family atmosphere. Even Griezmann, who's not an academy kid had a heavy heart about leaving and stayed two summers straight when he seemed a goner. Oblak just extended too. Living in Madrid is probably very appealing too.

Think it is because he behaves like an 18 year old.

Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
Have you forgotten the Moyes years? This isn't the lowest point.
It absolutely is.

We've spent hundreds of millions since then, they've all flopped and we're now trying to sell and we've gone through 2 other mangers with good pedigree in the game that have failed with us. Not to mention the players out of contact that we'd probably planned on keeping.

This is by far the worst position we've been in since Fergie left.

Yeah I kinda agree. With Moyes everyone thought it was a one off now it looks we've cemented our place as nothing but top 4 contenders. I trust Ole though, he was the sort of character missing from the club.

I can't see why he and Pogba can't play together. Pogba's problem lie with Pogba himself, not with who we play alongside him. If it's possible to sign Eriksen, we have to do everything in our power to sign him.

Why not? Bailly is even worse than Jones.
If we can give Jones and Smalling 10 years then i don't see why Bailly can't get another season to try and regain some form. He's got time on his side and he's not even at his peak yet.

It can work with a good mobile DM at base.

Good point, we never sell anyone before we give them testimonials. In that case, we should extend Bailly's contract :lol:

Honestly, I don't see the point in rebuilding the team if we're gonna keep players that were here 6 years ago, like seriously what's the point? :lol:

The players that have been here the longest should be the first out the door.

I too can only see Eriksen here with Pogba leaving, Madrid will not go for both Pogba and Eriksen together.

Pogba would likely replace Modric / Kroos in a deeper midfield role with Isco in front of him. They have Casemiro which is why a deep lying role for Pogba would work because he could bomb forward.

Pogba needs an engine next to him to cover his defensive deficiencies.

I think I would take 100 million for Rashford especially if he's demanding 300k or whatever. Also think Pogba is a goner bit if we can replace him with Eriksen, I don't think it will be all that bad

I doubt there are any fans that wouldn’t sell Rashford to Barca. I doubt there are any fans that believe the story either.
