I just mean it's pretty clear we are a bit short in a few departments but is it realistic to expect Ole to be able to bring in a few new faces mid-season to take us to the next level?
Great suggestions but will never happen because our club is run by tossers. These are exactly the kind of signings we should be making. Players ready to step up to be wc.Because of the good pre season games. Ole and his team thought Greenwood, Mata, Lingard and Chong would do a good job as right winger. Then all the time and energy was spending on a CB Maguire and a nr.10. A Dybala and a nr.10 and Eriksen were too late. Then the right winger position was clearly not prior in this summer.
Then after the pre games, where your opponents and enemies doesnt feed their best or a not a settle team. Back to season start, when it first really count. Really matches with full guts and best opponents. Compact and parking bus team. Where United didnt meet in pre games, parking bus. Then Ole and his team my realise United are short in right winger. Then they put James as right winger, who is best as a counter attack winger. Not a winger like Messi, Robben or Salah. Then United struggled to open up Crystal Palace. And later this year United will meet team like Newcastle and Burnley. So other solutions has to be use. Like player who are really good in small area like Angel Gomes.
Jadon Sancho who a right winger United shall try to get and buy. Its a summer buy. Dortmund will not let him go in January.
Next really good right target is Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina. If United make a bid and show interrest the boy will definitive go to United. With Chiesa and Fiorentina is all about the price. Giving them a price they will accept, where i think should be around Arsenal Pepe and De Jong to Barca price. Around 60 -70 mill £. But it depend if Chiesa is a Fiorentina player when transfer window in Italy will close in a short time.
Federico Chiesa - LW/RW/CAM
Kai Havertz - CM/RCM/CAM - A younger David Silva kind of player.
451 : Chiesa - Havertz/RCM - McTom/Matic DCM - Pobga/LCM - Martial/Rashford + Rashford/Martial
4411: Chiesa - McTom - Pobga - Martial + Havertz + Rashford
Sum up:
Fiorentina is a selling club, not a ambition club like Juventus, Napoli, Inter and AC Milan. So getting Chiesa in January is realistic, if he is still there by December.
And Havertz and Leverkusen. Leverkusen get 4 th place last season. So they are might in ch.league when it start. If Leverkusen dont let him go in January. Then agree with them in January and loan him back to them rest of the season, with a cutting price. And we have been heard that Silva said it is his last season with City. Then this left foot Havertz i think Pep will go after to replace Silva. Be ahead of them and avoid summer competition. I have a strong believe that Havertz will not still be Leverkusen player season 20/21. So like De Jong and Pulisic. Ajax and Dortmund agree to sell them, but keep them until the rest of the season. Havertz shall end like those 2 deals too. Avoid higher price and competition in the summer.
Only go for the best youngster and upcoming players out there. Be ahead of City, Liverpool, Juventus, Real Madrid; Bayern Munich and PSB about 2-3 years time.
Havertz 20 and Chiesa 21. You see mine points. If United get Havertz, Chiesa and Sancho. Adding those 3 really good upcoming players. Then its a big chance United will be above City about 3-4 years time. You are not spending big on Neymar, Bale, Eriksen and Dybala. To take the battle against City and Liverpool. When they as a a team on their peak.Special Liverpool a team that is on theirs peak and golden generation. Accept they are better as this moment. But about 2-4 years time. It is more unsure and United can be above them. If United are smart with theirs signings.
Getting Chiesa, Havertz and Sancho are mine best recommendations.
Not too early at all.
Jesse Lingard & Rojo & Rashford out to f**k.
Seriously?Not too early at all.
Jesse Lingard & Rojo & Rashford out to f**k.
Perfect.Are you crazy ? It's never too late nor too early to talk about transfers. Transfer windows are a metaphor for life.
Its what... 17 weeks away?It's August so it's a bit pointless to talk about it.
Besides, we all know what our issues are: those we didn't fix during the summer window. Not much to talk about besides "maybe we'll do what we failed to do in the summer but we probably won't".
I reckon Maddison is exactly the profile Solskjaer wants.If we try to.get Maddison from Leicester they ll milk us dry again. Will end up paying another 80million.
for that kind of money,I suppose there are better alternatives
One thing in favour of Maddison though is that him being a United fan (he s open about it) he ll push more for a transfer than Maguire did
Yes, he will be top of Ole's list in January, hopefully less pi**ing about this time, we get him into OT as soon as possible whatever the cost.I reckon Maddison is exactly the profile Solskjaer wants.
He s good player but looks a bit overrated. He certainly likes the Hollywood pass.I reckon Maddison is exactly the profile Solskjaer wants.
Yes, that's what I meantHe s good player but looks a bit overrated.
We won't sign anyone.
Sounds like he would fit right in here.He s good player but looks a bit overrated. He certainly likes the Hollywood pass.
But as a player, I thinks he looks ok for what we re looking for.
What I particularly not appreciate about him is his off the pitch, let s call them "antics".
Like modelling in front of an expensive car in the worst looking puma attire or answering big mouths like Jeremy Clarkson on twitter.
For their own good, players should be a bit more reserved..
J/K, in all seriousness yes, he needs to reel in that stuff, but once he's matured a bit, and achieved a little more in his playing career, I reckon that would settle down. He's a bit like Lingard with end product and dribbling.He s good player but looks a bit overrated. He certainly likes the Hollywood pass.

He'd be one to lift the other guys. I reckon Ole wants competition for places, and long-term competition for places.Yes, he will be top of Ole's list in January, hopefully less pi**ing about this time, we get him into OT as soon as possible whatever the cost.
Would make good mates with jlingz...hehSounds like he would fit right in here.
Don't, please.
When this doesn’t happen, I hope someone codifies an Alabaster.My guess (and I said similar in the summer, so this isn't kneejerk predictiosn based on 'one game'):
- By Christmas, we'll be around 8th in the league.
- Ole will be struggling to turn the ship around, morale around the club will be floundering again.
- One of our strikers will be out with injury (Martial took a knock already but I'm thinking something longer term but not serious).
- We'll sign Mandzukic in January for more than we would have paid in August - around £20m is my guess.
- Woodward will, at the same time, brief the papers about X, Y and Z (these will be big-name targets) to try and raise morale in the fanbase.
Ole will be gone by Jan/Feb.
