- Thread starter sammsky1
- Start date
As if 
Cresswell
Rice
Longstaff
Maddison
Some Championship speedster
We’ll be negotiating for Maddison for 3 windows.

I don't think any of those deals come close to the potential we could eventually shell out for Mejbri. The deal with Monaco
could potentially reach €10m.
6 more Maguires.
That PR guy we hired. Was it this fella?
But I thought he was happy with the squad? It's taken him a home loss against Burnley to realise Jesse and the lads aren't good enough.
That says it all really.
Not to disrespect some in here, But if you genuinely think Jaden Sancho is going to come here than you need to take the rose tinted glasses off.
The standard is 3 signing/year
Loosely translated as: Ed, the Glazers and the PR guy think that 600 million* people are gullible, trusting, passive, imbecilic, subordinate pricks who can be blatantly lied to, and have no function in the world apart from increasing their bank balance.
*whatever the figure is-no doubt declining all the time

It was fanciful a few months ago, now it's sheer delusion to see people still talking about it being a possibility.
Coutinho, Emre Can, Fernandes, Koulibaly, Sancho, Maddison/Grealish, Cavani are all available in this window for the right price. They keep saying the funds are available and then refusing to pay a penny more than their valuation.
City, Chelsea and PSG all had to over pay when they were building teams and didn't have Champions League football to fall back on. You are never going to pay fair market value when the world knows you're desperate...

When is saw the headline i was laughing. Not I'm just angry.
We have been there before, we know the drill.
We have a problem to sign 1 player in January, surely we will get six the summer.
Last year around this time the exact same thing was promised.
Yeah right.

Pretty sure Sancho will go to Liverpool if he decides to leave Germany. Better manager, better team, brighter future etc. What can we offer except money?
I agree it’s a lot of money if he hits all his targets but there’s many a slip between cup and mouth. Especially with youth players
Yeah, I'm sure he already relishes in idea of coming to us and playing in Europa (even if that happens). The only thing that could lure him is possibly the money but then we've heard that we're to trim overpaid players and balance our wage bill. That's why thinking only 'long term' and 'rebuilding' is, ironically, as short sighted as it can get.
Six signings. Ed Woodward. Enough said.
I agree, there's still alot to prove.
To be fair I'd be happy if Pogba, McT, Martial and Rashford playing 40 games this season.
His main aim was to have an exciting young squad built around Pogba, but yeah, that wasn't the case.
I really would like to see Sancho play in the Premier League just to see if we could get third time lucky as Kagawa and Mikki were ripping it up at Dortmund and yet they fizzled out at Old Trafford.
Yet again I would say that little piece in The Times is some lazy journalist throwing it out there because I will bet money there is no way we will sign another FB in the foreseeable future.

The Longstaffian era will be upon us soon. Spread the word and rejoice.
Not a snowball in Hell's chance, and I think same with Maddison too as he will be a key player for Leicester, with Champions League football.
I don't think its even worth mentioning these two anymore, they are well and truly off the menu.
Happy, Sleepy,Doc,Bashful,Dopey and Grumpy.
Oh I forgot we have them already
Oh I forgot we have them already
Spare yourself the effort,
It's not going to happen.
Yet again fans falling for it.
We know this is not going to happen, we just about got 3 done last summer after being told we can do things no clubs can, money is there.
Even since Jose, when he came out and said I thought Mnutd can buy anyone. It is not true, if we cant get a signing from a club that needs money, player wants to join then what makes us think we will get 6?
Neil Ashton earning his money already...
Who the feck is happy at this club these days...
I'd say this is terrible PR unless the club is actually prepared to take action. Otherwise the empty promises will just enrage the fans further.
I mean it's probably true, just there is no time scale to it.
Yeah, we'll eventually make six signings, sure.
6 players means we must have a shortlist of at least 30 players and not one of them is gettable now?
We will hire and fire 3 managers in that time , we might need 6 players after that, we might only need 5 or suddenly need 8. This is what happens when you jump manager to manager with no plan
We have nobody to sell anymore. So I assume we have 500 million in the bank ready to spend? If not, then we're looking at 4-6 years time before we have 6 new players. And by that time others need replacing and the whole thing starts again.
Conclusion: spend big in the next 2 summers or we're screwed for a long long time.

Nobody believes this stuff do they?
Even if true, this would take us 3 x summers to complete.
Bear in mind, that with each of those windows, another 1-2 first teamers will be considered deadwood that need replacing and boom - you've got yourself a perpetual, never-ending rebuilding job.
