These lads seem to be our primary targets:

Totally forgot about Alderweireld. I don't know what to think, though. Seems a bit unrealistic expecting to buy all of these guys. What would the total price be? £300m?RB may be Sidibe. Alderweireld at CB as well.
We’d have to sell players. Perhaps the board would make an exception for signing a star player like Bale and grant extra funds for it, something they wouldn’t do for someone like Perisic last year for example.Totally forgot about Alderweireld.

Yes let's sign another winger so they also have no support from ageing wing backs.We are in dire need of a right winger and Bale is one of the best players in the world in that position?
You're looking at about a 270-300M outlay.These lads seem to be our primary targets:

What a window that would be.You're looking at about a 270-300M outlay.
It's how much Pep and City spent last season to get to where they are. Think Jose will be making sure Ed knows that!What a window that would be.
Absolutely. City look like they are adding Jorginho and Mahrez this year as well so we need to go in hard or forget about the title.It's how much Pep and City spent last season to get to where they are. Think Jose will be making sure Ed knows that!
Does it matter, though? He can't spend that kind of money without the owners/boards approval.It's how much Pep and City spent last season to get to where they are. Think Jose will be making sure Ed knows that!
IF they get those two I think the EPL is over for 2-3 years tbh.Absolutely. City look like they are adding Jorginho and Mahrez this year as well so we need to go in hard or forget about the title.
Would be two good additions. We need to continue building regardless, as champions league can be won by manoeuvring through a couple of ties. City probably drop off a bit next year, they surely cant hit 100 points again.IF they get those two I think the EPL is over for 2-3 years tbh.
150 for Fred, Sandro and Alderweireld.Totally forgot about Alderweireld. I don't know what to think, though. Seems a bit unrealistic expecting to buy all of these guys. What would the total price be? £300m?
I'm sure he's thinking of Di Maria (which was sold with a minor loss the following summer) and Pogba (who's still at the club, and is a generational talent).When is the last time we did 'stupid shit like that"? Genuinely no idea
Yeah go Liverpool.Tweet

We didn’t last year, and not the one before either. To be honest, it’s been a good while since we had solid alternatives all over the pitch. And it’s not about just buying a right winger and a left back, our team and squad needs to compete at a much higher level. We can have three average-ish players as long as we gave a good keeper and the rest is excellent. We can’t have three stars and seven fillers.We are probably working on multiple deals. We will get the players we need.
Not true. We always had backups. Dier and Fabinho for Matic. Moratta for Lukaku. Don't remember who was for Lindeloff but we did had back up options.We didn’t last year, and not the one before either.

Exactly, Just like VVD right?Tweet

Those players for that money is a superb window and hypothetically really puts a marker down - but Jose would need to deliver or at least challenge all the way (final day and CL semi finals).You're looking at about a 270-300M outlay.
Agreed, we have the chance this season to build a really strong squad. Just down to whether Ed & the owners want to dig deep enough.Those players for that money is a superb window and hypothetically really puts a marker down - but Jose would need to deliver or at least challenge all the way (final day and CL semi finals).
We were quite discreet with Lukaku too.Exactly, Just like VVD right?
yep like other clubs and sometimes people leak things or agents are loose with their talk and tip people off. Claiming that pool did anything even remotely noteworthy is a joke. Also doing business "on the quiet" is every harder in today's day and age and when you consider the size and noise around United it would be feat to get average signing done discretely let alone major ones.We were quite discreet with Lukaku too.
He'll just remain at Madrid. Thankfully Jose moves on quickly unlike some other previous employees.Tweet

Are you trying to say it is possible for him to sign for Spurs? He'll take a pay cut but not that much of one. He's on £350k after tax. Spurs' highest wages are something like £120k before tax. Even if they double their highest wages, Bale would be on something like a £230k pay cut. No way he'd accept that much of one no matter how much he likes them.I don’t think wages will be as big an issue either. Bale has said himself he wants to play football. He will know no one else but Madrid would pay the wages he’s currently on. He will take a pay cut. Also I think they’re artificially higher in Spain anyway to cover for the 50% tax
My thoughts exactly mate. It really depends on the people involved. Some people are tight lipped some are not.yep like other clubs and sometimes people leak things or agents are loose with their talk and tip people off.

For player agents, the Sanchez and Bale wage packages will establish a wage floor for United players. The performance of these two players will be the 600k/week standard at United as far as player agents are concerned. In the 20/21 season and 21/22 season, the final years of the Sanchez and Bale contracts, I don't think the performances of Sanchez and Bale will be anywhere close to what any other teams standard for a 600k/week player would be.
The wage policies established with the Sanchez contract and the Bale contract are not sustainable and are not examples of good team management, imo. Player agents for prospective United transfer targets see the United wage policy and their players express love and respect for United and Mourinho. Why wouldn't they?
No because I reckon it’ll take around 200k a week + a series of bonuses based on appearances etc. spurs won’t break the mouldAre you trying to say it is possible for him to sign for Spurs?
