I agree with that completely.
Have you not been aware of these last few windows? You don't need someone like him to identify world class players because they're obvious, anyway he doesn't want to "find" world class players, he thrives on finding young/unknown players and give them a platform to show what they can do, and in that process make their mistakes, at United making mistakes isn't really an option anymore, like it or love it, we are not the club to bed unknown quantities in!

Arsenal really should be all over that. There is no better striker that'll be realistically available to them that suits them as much as he does.
I think it's a good move to go for someone like Mendy and have him compete with Shaw. I'd much rather get rid of Darmian over Shaw.
Don't think there'd be much competition, Mendy would make that position his own. He's a better player in just about every aspect except maybe one on one defending, which Shaw seems to be surprisingly good at.
Looking at the performances of this season, you're probably right. But, if we get him, Mendy may take some time adjusting to the team and the league, so it wouldn't the smartest thing getting rid of Shaw. Also, Shaw may well improve next season.

Lukaku, Sanchez, and Van Dijk would be an impressive summer for them. Van Dijk is who I would want most, and it seems crazy we wouldn't go for him.
We can turn a healthy defender into a crock with our curse, no point signing one with already having serious injury problem. What's good with all potential when you can't stay fit?
Van Dijk is going to be one of those signings like Alderweireld and Kante who everybody knows you should go for, everyone knows is going to be great at a big club. But for some reason you don't go for him and then he goes somewhere else and is unsurprisingly great.

Bayern's iron grip on the Bundesliga is beyond parody now.
That's just incredible.
AFA will sack Bauza. They want SampaoliTweet

That transfer surely wouldn't change that situation. Something to keep in mind: I believe Bayern's squad consists of only three players coming from other Bundesliga clubs though.
Can't see how we don't win the league if we were to sign those three. We'd have an insane starting XI with world class players all over the pitch.
Lukaku & Van Dijk are certainly realistic but Sanchez will be close to impossible.Example a, b and c as to why Bayern won't bid big for Sanchez or Griezmann.
Is Roman still halting on the big money transfers without big money in, or are your lot going to start spending big again?Can't see how we don't win the league if we were to sign those three. We'd have an insane starting XI with world class players all over the pitch.
Way too good to be true, though.
Rumor has it that this'll be a huge summer. Massive Nike deal kicks in, just sold Oscar for £50m, probably going to sell Costa for a huge sum, and apparently Conte was told in January that funds were being saved instead for the summer. Plus, I know for a fact that Roman and the board won't want a repeat of summer 2015 where we didn't strengthen at all and had the disastrous season.
In my opinion they might need two wingers, so Brandt in 2018 (when Ribery and Robben are retired or in the MLS) wouldn't rule out Alexis. Griezmann I cannot see happening since they have Müller for hos role.
What would you say are you three biggest position priorities and which names are most realistic ?
I can then see you getting Sanchez. If he wants to leave Arsenal, it will probably between yourselves and City. Arsenal will sell to the highest bidder.
The Bundesliga is an embarrassment
I think quality and depth in the wingback positions are a must. Central midfielder next. Then an attacking player at or near Hazard's level that would elevate our attack to compete with Europe's top sides. Obviously a striker shoots up the priority list if Costa goes.
Who would be the ideal, but realistic Hazard replacement ?
Lukaku, Sanchez, Bakayoko, Bruno Peres.
I think Hazard stays. Like an 80% chance he stays and signs an extension.
Are there any Monaco players we haven't been linked to? They won't be able to field a team if the press are to be believed.
Can't remember who but one of the resident French posters on here said they're open to selling their players if the right offers come in because they've already got replacements ready. If so, they really must have a special youth set-up there.
Thing is they're also in strong positions when it comes to signing the best young academy players too. So in a sense they already bullies other teams from eggs.
Yeah, we're such a bunch of bad boys. Thank god PL clubs don't do domestic transfers.
PL clubs often rinsed the buying clubs with all the tax. You guys can buy players for reasonable price and save your money for other stuffs. 90 minute rule limit youth recruitment from different areas
Most importantly, such transfer rumors are perfect clickbait material as the Caf residents prove any given day.
Don't you dare bothering the discussion with facts!
Seriously, it's not worth it.I'm not entirely convinced by him, either. Reschke is a big fan of him, after all, he's the one who brought him to Leverkusen. If he joins us in 2018 for 12.5m, I'd say it's worth a shot. Paying 30m to have him come next season seems like a questionable move.
Cheers!
