Fair!Just need to go one page back. Here:

Exactly. At some point you have to factor in the fact that you haven't had a fecking RW for 10+ years and go spend some fecking money fixing it.Is he worth a 100m ? No
Is fixing our RW after years of neglect worth 100m ? Absolutely
From what I've read lately, we need to keep hold of our inconsistent players aka Martial, not sign top talents that'd improve our team, and just stockpile unproven players as that solves problem positionsSame but some on here seem to think its logical to put all our eggs in the Amad basket based on very little.
Yeah we still badly need to sign him in the summerIf we're not buying a good striker then we should spend on Sancho + a CB.
Will we?
I doubt it with these owners tbh.
Yeah I would totally agree with thatSancho having another very good game here. An assist, a goal from a penalty and is just very creative in general.
Still would sign Halaand over him this summer if we can but if not go and get Jason.
If Pogba goes we will have to buy a Midfielder too tbh.If we're not buying a good striker then we should spend on Sancho + a CB.

Best we can hope for in this current situationIf Pogba goes we will have to buy a Midfielder too tbh.
Rice with lingard going the other way maybe.
Would be a good deal if we can pull off all three of them.If Pogba goes we will have to buy a Midfielder too tbh.

Rice isn't a good replacement for Pogba, we already need someone like Rice, if we lost Pogba we'd need his replacement plus Rice (or someone of that ilk).If Pogba goes we will have to buy a Midfielder too tbh.

Lingard plus say 45-50 cash for Rice but I doubt West Ham would deal for that. It’ll be 60 at least I’d say. There must be cheaper alternatives. I reckon you’d get Camavinga for 60 so maybe just sell Jesse!Still think he'll be the big name signing in the summer, as much as we and the club would love Haaland, I just can't seem to convince myself it'll happen.
Fixed that for you.Lingard plus say 45-50 cash for Rice but I doubt West Ham would deal for that. It’ll be 60 at least I’d say. There must be cheaper alternatives. I reckon you’d get Camavinga for 60 so maybe just sell Jesse!
Sancho on a slightly discounted price. 80?
Centre back 50.
about 180 minus any outgoings. It’s doable and it takes our squad up a level. Will we just go for it. Nope. It’s going to another summer of sorry lads, glazers.
Plus Pogba is three times the player Rice is and then some.Rice isn't a good replacement for Pogba, we already need someone like Rice, if we lost Pogba we'd need his replacement plus Rice (or someone of that ilk).
I know. They drive me nuts too. Hopefully this summer they take the handbrake off and back the manager again.There wasn’t a peep out of him about not getting transfers he needed this season but everyone can clearly see the team is still lacking important key ingredients and we are only going to hang on in there at best until we get them.Fixed that for you.
Me too. Pogba and Fernandes were crucial helping us break down teams who pack their own box. By taking Pogba out of the equation we're suddenly back to struggling as no one else can do what he can in CM. Realistically if Pogba goes we need 2 CMs, not sure I trust the club to get that done, we seem to have a stupidly strict one in one out policy, and half the time don't even replace the "one out".Plus Pogba is three times the player Rice is and then some.
If we lost Pogba and signed Rice with no other midfielders I would be feckin fuming.
There are like 3 decent signings needed to get this team to be on par with Man City. The fact that we're not going out and getting them is driving me up the wall frankly.I know.

feels like we say this every summer after we do ok and nothing happens...There are like 3 decent signings needed to get this team to be on par with Man City. The fact that we're not going out and getting them is driving me up the wall frankly.
Hopefully the strides we've made this year will make them realize that we need to boost the team now when the opportunity is there.
Yep. Unfortunately I'd have more hope in us spending big if we finished outside the top 4 than inside it, because that's what the past suggests.feels like we say this every summer after we do ok and nothing happens...
True but we'd never get both so it's is what it is.Rice isn't a good replacement for Pogba, we already need someone like Rice, if we lost Pogba we'd need his replacement plus Rice (or someone of that ilk).
There is a clear pattern. We don't spend when we finish in top 4.Yep. Unfortunately I'd have more hope in us spending big if we finished outside the top 4 than inside it, because that's what the past suggests.
It's too early. We'll know for sure what the plans are come June/July.From what I’ve read we’ve been briefing that we’ve cooled our interest but are monitoring the situation. Grrrrr. I hate monitoring the situation. Such a stupid term for a top football club to keep using.
Imagine an extra 5/10 goals and a few assists coming from the other side of the pitch? How cool would that be?! Extra space for our other attackers to play in? A long term partner to AWB? A night off for Rashford or Bruno? I swear it makes too much sense for us to follow though...
Well could live with that if we keep Eddy on and Jadon is capable of finding himStill think he'll be the big name signing in the summer, as much as we and the club would love Haaland, I just can't seem to convince myself it'll happen.
Have we got the wide area bullets for him thoughWould much rather move for Haaland but every big club will be in for him
I dont care really. Great strikers find a way to score. We havnt had a striker in his prime since RVP.Have we got the wide area bullets for him though
this is true. Since 2013 we have been signing stop gap strikers and a square peg in Lukaku who we haven't Replaced. Time we go all out for a top class one.I dont care really. Great strikers find a way to score. We havnt had a striker in his prime since RVP.
I don’t think the club uses it in fairness, it’s paper bollocks.From what I’ve read we’ve been briefing that we’ve cooled our interest but are monitoring the situation. Grrrrr. I hate monitoring the situation. Such a stupid term for a top football club to keep using.
You just gotta look at Alan Shearer. Played in mainly medicore teams and still all-time PL scorer. Our team is still incomplete, but world class strikers is just one thing you can't miss out one. Especially considering the lack of great strikers these days(who aren't past 32).this is true. Since 2013 we have been signing stop gap strikers and a square peg in Lukaku who we haven't Replaced. Time we go all out for a top class one.
Given the choice of Halaand or Sancho then we have to go Halaand for me.
But if no Halaand then snap Sancho up and keep Edi for a season
