Rashford won't get you 25/30 goals a season. We need a prolific CF if Lukaku goes.
What gives the idea that he won't score 25/30 goals? His scoring has gone up every year and he is just started to be our main striker. Not to mention the fact that he's only 21 years old. If he starts 30 games this year I am more than confident that he will score at least 20 goals...

I really hope we won't buy him. There must be other better defenders out there, without Titanic turning proportions.

We're going to.

And who? Who else is proven good enough for the premier league that will improve our defence and is available?

Honestly, i don't think Maguire is much better than Smalling.
PL proven is one thing, spending a world record fee on a defender that is marginally better then smalling, is another.

People ask this question as if players walk around wearing “I’m available” T-shirts. We don’t know which players are available or not, a substantial number of transfers happen despite the selling club seemingly preferring not selling.

He's levels above Smalling. The guy who throws in a complete brainfart once a month. And manages to lose his marker every time we play City it seems. I actually don't mind Smalling I'm exagerating of course but Maguire is a very capable and reliable defender in comparison.

Could I ask a favour that if Fridge Chutney happens to be the one to "break" a proper transfer, that somebody else links it too, as I just skim right past his tweets these days.
That will probably never happen. I'm convinced the account is a bot that automatically posts these type of tweets. It won't deviate out of that

Agreed plus Smalling pisses his pants whenever someone pressurise him and the amount of time the opposition let him dribble the ball in to the midfield knowing he would do feck all.

Smalling has to turn his full body to play the ball out from the back, Maguire will improve us massively with the way he can move the ball forward

Have to agree with this. We know what Smalling offers by now and it’s feck all. The delusion here about him at times drives me mad.

It's not that weird. He's a good player on low wages and available for a reasonable fee.
Oh come on he's Ashley Young levels of bad

For one of the biggest clubs in Spain to look around for a RB and come up that Trippier as the man they want is strange (even if he's coming in as a back up surely there's someone in La Liga already that could fill that position)

Trippier didn't have the best season last year but was very good the previous two seasons. His crossing ability is fantastic when on form and he's a good player. Perhaps their scouts are not as hyperbolic as internet fans.

You're counting the season where he was still Kyle Walkers backup as him being very good? I'll give you that he did well as Walker's replacement initially and even had us convinced by his performances for England last summer but like you said last season wasn't good and the fact Spurs are happy to get rid says it all

It's not a major transfer though is it. He's going there to do a job. He was on £65k a week at Spurs and is available at £20m. In a five, like for England at the World Cup, he can be an excellent player.

No but it's a strange one which is all that I said initially

Is this Everton guy that good ? Seems like another James Rodriguez kind of situation.
