Sancho, Varane and Trippier would be an incredible window.
Prices seem doable as well. Top end we are hearing £80m for Sancho. £35m for Varane and £15m for Trippier. So around £130m.

With The players we have to sell we could possibly still get one more in.

Yeah he guarantees goals but not a lot else. Impressive stats but for me, majority of his time in the premiership and certainly with us....stats dont tell the whole story, massively over rated as a player. If he is staying and Inter need to raise money.......Barella would probably be near a Rice type fee, but his ability and style is just made for the premiership. Him or (preferably and if I was to dream) Camavinga is about as good as we can sign this summer for central midfield
Yeah agree totally. I’m a fan of both Barella and Camavinga.

The more important aspect may be that we can then rotate him with Trippier. He was one of the few players playing both PL and CL/Europa. There were quite a few games he looked tired particularly at Christmas. Williams needs a loan move and Trippier would be a decent cover/competition option.
Yeah I said the same in a follow up post, it’s a position we are very low on options for and I do like Trippier. I’m just keen to improve the starting 11.

We desperately need a defensive midfielder. Someone like Rice could allow us to play both Pogba and Fernandes in a 4-3-3. IF we were able to bring those players in for those fees, I'd hope we could also sign a top DCM after moving on the likes of Lingard, James, Williams, Dalot, one of our CBs (preferably Bailly), Jones (hah) and maybe DVB and one of our keepers. Probably dreaming to hope for a net spend above 100m, though.

Hopefully Rice or another DM.

….& you know more than him do you?

Always makes me laugh when football fans call out journo’s for knowing “feck all” yet know “feck all” themselves, so really have no authority to judge a professional journalists knowledge of an area, that we as football fans, quite frankly only are aware of a tiny tiny tiny tiny percentage of what actually goes on behind the scenes.

I guess everything is a PR stunt too eh?
Weird reaction. We as fans are not competing with journalists. So whether we know more than them is irrelevant. We can judge them compared to each other though.

My wit's end

Yep.

I think that realistically, both DDG and Lingard are going to be leaving. That's an additional £40m-£50m in the coffers.

Then one of Pogba and Martial is also likely to leave imo. Otherwise it'd be 7 options for 3 spaces:
RW - Sancho, Amad
CF - Cavani, Greenwood
LW - Rashford, Pogba/Martial

Whichever out of those two goes, that's another £30m-£70m on top of the figure above.

Taken as a total, we could possibly even afford to buy two further additions. But most probably it'll be one squad player and one prospect if we're being honest.

A lot will also depend on how many sales rather than loans we get done.

Dalot
Pereira
Dan James
Lingard
Martial
De Gea
Phil Jones
Sergio Romero
Juan Mata
Matic

It’s a bloody long list of players who could leave and help refill the coffers.

Martial - not going anywhere IMO
Dan James - not going anywhere IMO
Phil Jones - only way he'll go is if we release him IMO.
Sergio Romero - contract has ended. Has pretty much left the club.
Juan Mata - contract has ended but no announcement yet. Could he be staying!

How odd - he's been terrible for them, yet they renew is contract. What do they see in him?
They have something like 12 players out of contract this summer, they have to try to keep some of them, even if they're not great or they'd be completely fecked.

He was their second highest scorer in the PL this season with 10 goals, as opposed to the 2, 1 and 3 he bagged in the previous three seasons. With a load of their players out of contract, I guess that bit of a resurgence in form was enough for them to think he was worth keeping for now.

Absolutely, scored more goals than Timo Werner and Bobby Firmino last season! We have A LOT of work to do this summer and after seeing someone like Chris Wood being touted for £30m (and with only one other striker), this makes total sense from our perspective.

Hopefully we might actually cross the ball under the new manager too as he's still a beast in the air.

I had assumed PJ's contract would be coming up soon, but turns out there's another 2 years to go

Looks like Mudo Deprotivo are quoting the Express here. Best to ignore.

UK, hun?
According to Mundo Deprotivo

I must admit, what's the incentive for him to move here aside from the family connection? He can either stay as first choice at La Liga champions and see out his final years in lovely warm Madrid or he can slug it out with Wan-Bissaka at Utd. I'd probably stay put if I was him..

Ah transfer muppets... multiple positive stories regarding Trippier to Man Utd met with optimism before one negative tweet and it's all over.
