Watched him a few times this season, he's nowhere near good enough to propel our wide areas. He's got a solid build but he's very predictable with his movement, Pepe and Zaha are better options because they can go on the inside of the flank and out, they are also technically superior.

If people think Zaha isn't good enough then Bergwijn shouldn't even be in the conversation. If there's anyone useful fr Dutch league and a back up to the likes of Sancho / Zaha / Pepe than its Neres.

A lot of things that we 'should' be doing. Save yourself from banging your head against a wall though and just wait to see what we get.
Well yeah but papers have reported we're potentially after him as well, so my point is be better bloody be if Ajax are too.

Are De Telegraaf any good for PSV? They're a tier 2 on reddit, but I can't remember if a couple of dutch posters said it depends on particular clubs.
They are usually pretty reliable for PSV/Ajax, especially when they have a big story like this.

Koulibailly.
Coming up 28. It is an awkward one, a lot of money, but do we go cheap so not the quality or Toby for less, but older. I know people want De Ligt, but he isn't coming here. Especially if he does think we called his dad a fatso.

United are in the terrible position where they might have to buy players to improve the squad so they can get Top 4, only to then need to replace said players again to win the league.

:houllier: Players do improve, you know. Some players might need to be upgraded but not all if they keep improving.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"

Sort of what Chelsea did and City. You can have billionaire backers but sometimes you have to take it in a couple of steps... I'm ok with that as long as I can see improvement.

If Ajax are interested, then we should be too. They've clearly got it on point with their scouting whether it's for youth or other club's talent. And we clearly fecking don't.
Yes lets buy a player because another club wants him, that has worked out before... another left winger, don't want, when we will actually target better players on the right side?

It was a half joke mate. Our scouts are so fecking shite we might as well use Ajax's!

Plus, can guarantee City didn't really want Fred.

It'a not a case of Zaha not being good enough, he hated his time here and he's not coming back

He also loses the ball every 11 minutes, more than anyone else in the league, and still failed to outscore Rashford, Martial and Lukaku who all had fairly dire seasons.

If De Ligt is unavailable (which he is), Koulibaly would be the best option. Unless Umtitiesss is available.

Same here. Don't get what the fuss about Bergwijn. I don't fancy Nicholas Pepe too. These players won't get enough space in our team. We need someone who's technical with a terrific dribbling to stretch the right wing thereby taking some attention off Martial as well as giving him enough breathing space to operate on the left. I would rather Ounas despite his little game times under Ancelotti. His stat per minute looks fantastic as well as his individual touches video.

He also said we'ee signing Greizmann
Nope different guy. Was following the whole Kohler saga last year. This Simon did not mention anything about Griezmann at all, and was really spot on with the tour details and Dalot updates. Let's see how good he is this summer.

There was plenty of width and space begging in quite a few matches this season. None more frustrating than the last two we lost and tied against relegated teams.

We could do with both of them bc Martial, Rashford, Alexis, all just cut in. We have no service out wide.

Well he is constantly made a scapegoat, even when the players around him are much worse.
Not so much a scapegoat as not living up to his wages / transfer fee.

We all know that when he puts his mind to it he can play brilliantly, the trouble is he just doesn't seem bothered. Most of the rest are just gash, we know that, and can't play any better.

Its good we're thinking of offloading Rom, but im not sure who we plan to bring in as a prolific goalscorer.

Jovic would be ideal, and the price seems reasonable.

Who said “all”

I said United “might” have to replace some players bought this summer to win the league..

You said some “might” need upgrading...

I’m not sure the crazy emoji was needed.
