Besides, he signed a new contract literally three months ago.Inter will never sell him midseason. Perhaps in the summer, but I doubt it, unless he forces a move. He really is irreplaceable to Inter.

Everyone has a price. They would sell for 60MInter will never sell him midseason. Perhaps in the summer, but I doubt it, unless he forces a move. He really is irreplaceable to Inter.
I think he's worth more than 60 million, with today's inflated prices in mind. He won't be cheap.Everyone has a price. They would sell for 60M
It's the same with Candreva.A right winger should be our main priority, with a 10, centre midfielder and a left back in Summer.
It's just lazyness. How much was Salah bought for? Intelligent buying involves signing a good player ready to explode into a top class one. Signing a Griezemann or Mbappe will obviously cost a fortune. There's no mandate to go for obvious options though.United have a scouting team for a reason. Idk why everyone acts like good players have to be superstars and can't be unearthed and bought for less.
90m euros should be able to get United one top tier player (maybe not a superstar) and one squad/backup player should need be.
I've admired him for a long while now but also been unsure as to us he fits in. The only way it makes sense is if the 352/343 is the future. Even then, I really feel we need another playmaker more than we need yet another striker.I wonder how our transfer targets are identified and signed now ribalta is at the club. Does he draw up a list and Jose picks from it or does Jose tell him to find players for x y and z positions? Or does Jose tell him to scout particular players? I guess this is more a post about ribalta and his role in our transfers more than our having money to spend in January!
Ozil and Goretzka would be an amazing window but I don’t think either club will sell to us easily. They would be very exciting additions to a squad that’s not very far away from being top class again. I wouldn’t be heartbroken to see miki/mata leave and Carrick to hang up his boots and the aforementioned players were signed. I’m glad we are looking at more German players. They have been producing top players for a long time.
I wouldn’t sign AG7. He’s having a terrible season and I have a feeling he may have peaked. I could be way off but that’s my feeling at the minute. Happy to be proved wrong as long as it’s for us!
Pulisic!I've admired him for a long while now but also been unsure as to us he fits in. The only way it makes sense is if the 352/343 is the future. Even then, I really feel we need another playmaker more than we need yet another striker.
If we do want to sign we absolutely must make sure he isn't on the decline even if is gradual.
As a right winger/right sided forward? I guess. I've not seen much of him to be honest. I still do feel we need that one technical playmaker whether in midfielder or in the hole ala Veratti or Silva.Pulisic!
He'd sure sell a bucket load of kits.Pulisic!
I think Pogba is our playmaker now. Another top young player who has a bit of magic, can beat a man with pace or skill, can spot a pass and knows where the goal is - has to be welcome in our squad. I think we are even strong enough that we could give him a season to bed in too, rotating him with what we already have there. The best young signings in the world please while we continue rebuilding!As a right winger/right sided forward? I guess. I've not seen much of him to be honest.

He's been amazing for them by all accounts. Huge part of the reason they sit top of Serie A.Everyone has a price. They would sell for 60M
Which makes Jan window even more difficult unless a player with world cup aspirations is warming the bench like Mata did.It makes sense to try and get something done in January as it's a World Cup year so the summer will be hectic and difficult.
He has more reasons to stay than leave. He can try to win the Europa League particularly with the additions of Diego Costa and Vitolo, he is pretty much in his country, he loves his current city, his family is settled and he already earns a lot of money. Also he isn't eligible for the CL.Griezmann already out the CL. No reason for him to stay
I thought rose played in their last game?Ozil and Rose can play in Champions League and FA cup.
Its the Caf, does it ever end?Let muppetry commence!
Sorry, You are correct, he did @Adisa .I thought rose played in their last game?
Its the Caf, does it ever end?
I think, that Mourinho will try to get both Ozil & Rose in January, resolving the #10 and #3 issues.I wonder if we will fill the number 7 void in January ?
Just don't see it as a massive january priority given that we have Herrera who was arguably our player of the season last year. Mourinho not big on rotation in CM and then when our back up CM comes in he looks rusty... not a big shock to me personally. But buying another player urgently in January to sit on the bench and look rusty when he does play isn't a priority in my opinionI get it that you are convinced that Jose will only ever want to play a #10 with 2 midfielders. Even if Pogba represents something different to a normal midfielder. We may disagree on this. But do you not think having another quality midfielder is a sensible thing with view to Matic and Pogba not needing to play every game and, if disaster strikers, either gets injured?
No chance Mr Bean lets Ozil go in January.I think, that Mourinho will try to get both Ozil & Rose in January, resolving the #10 and #3 issues.
This could allow the whole Summer window to be dedicated to landing a marquee #7 such as Griezmann or Dybala.....
Not sure I see the United board sanctioning a big spend in January on a player (Ozil) who will be available for free just 5 months later. If we're actually interested, it will happen in the summer.I think, that Mourinho will try to get both Ozil & Rose in January, resolving the #10 and #3 issues.

I think we need a second alongside Pogba, would help free him up. Teams atm can basically double mark him as he provides so much of our penetrative play. Look at kdb, he gets so much more space than Pogba as teams cannot leave Silva alone to double up.I think Pogba is our playmaker now.

That’s what I thought on football manager too. I’d wait till the summer... then Liverpool sneaked in and offered 20 million = he went there in January. You snooze, you lose.Not sure I see the United board sanctioning a big spend in January on a player (Ozil) who will be available for free just 5 months later.

Absolutely....!That’s what I thought on football manager too. I’d wait till the summer... then Liverpool sneaked in and offered 20 million = he went there in January. You snooze, you lose.
Someone will surely make a bid
That should be dream, but I doubt we get all three in Jan.Imagine signing Ozil, Goretzka and Rose

I agree that bidding in January is the surest method of securing the player. I just don't see our board sanctioning it, because it doesn't make financial sense. The rationale will be "if the player really wants to play for us, he'll bat away the January offers in favour of a summer move here".Absolutely....!
Those clubs that are serious about landing Ozil & Sanchez will most definitely make their move in January when the players can negotiate.
Making an offer of about 25-30% of their true market value could get you to the front of a very long queue, with the selling club grudgingly accepting a knock down fee rather than have the players walk away for nothing in a few months time.
The difference may not be that great though. Player can demand more money in the summer due to no transfer fee involved and you are in a bidding war with other clubs over the salary, add-ons etc..I agree that bidding in January is the surest method of securing the player.

I'm not convinced Ozil will be quite as in demand as all that. There will be a number of clubs in for him, but a bidding war, I'm not so sure. We'd have to offer a competitive salary (north of £200k p/w) anyway, and although the signing fee in the summer would no doubt be substantial, I doubt it would come close to the face-saving fee Arsenal would feel obliged to demand in January (£20m+).The difference may not be that great though.

Every time a dubious source says the player prefers Madrid.Its the Caf, does it ever end?
I actually think this debate is thread-worthy. Whether Pogba is suitable for a midfield 2 or whether he'd be better served by having 2 midfielders give him a free role.Just don't see it as a massive january priority given that we have Herrera who was arguably our player of the season last year.
