Mate I was one of the fans drumming him to be made captain even after his first season, that was when I was back in the newbies. I wanted him captain instead of Herrera who many louder him back then. I thought making him captain would elevate him the leader we need. Then I realized I was wrong. He’s not you can rely upon. He’s badly inconsistent and no captain material in my book along with other stupid things he does. Whether that falls in line with what other have said it doesn’t matter to me. We United fans have seen him first hand, if that’s a captain for you so be it, I don’t rathe his leadership at all.I wasn't being sarcastic. I also don't think Mourinho's assessment should be wholly dismissed, however, like I said, testimonies regarding Pogba are overwhelmingly positive from Conte to Allegri to Deschamps, as well as fellow players. Mourinho also has a checkered history of falling out with players.
This I can believe. City and pep love technically brilliant players and dont care if they have shit loads already.Tweet

We missed out on players to City under SAF, it's one player so don't be too downbeat.I miss the Fergie era
We missed out on talents under him, left, right and centre.I miss the Fergie era
He never missed out on them. He always wanted whatever new talent was coming up, but Martin Edwards would never break our wage structure. "We dont need Zidane when we have Cantona in the side." etc.We missed out on talents under him, left, right and centre.
They have ambitions to lose the next CL QF 10-9 on aggregate, so need more attackers.How many attacking players does City want?
In the summer of 2011 we bought Ashley Young, while City got Kun Aguero, it happens.I miss the Fergie era
And what happened in the summer of 2012?In the summer of 2011 we bought Ashley Young, while City got Kun Aguero, it happens.
"...United would want to make a profit on a player who has scored 42 goals in 93 appearances, so it may be difficult to find a buyer who would also have to match Lukaku's wages of £250,000 a week...Tweet

Can you be surprised that a club that wanted to make their money back off Matteo fecking Darmian is trying to make a profit from Lukaku? Money obsessed with no football expertise. Anyone with some sense knew that we bought the best of a mediocre bunch with Lukaku, because there were no world class strikers available. There was always going to be a loss of value if we wanted to sell him.United wont make a profit on Lukaku.
We don’t need 6 players, 4 players of the right quality is plenty for one summer.Tweet

pretty sensible approach isn't it?Tweet

I reckon there will be four signings. Centre back, right back, midfielder and an attacker.Tweet

I don't get it really. If there's six players that are attainable and are what we need then why rule it out? It's not like we don't need it, we may need far more than that in reality.Tweet

We did sign six players in both summers under LvG. But yes six players this summer is very unlikely.As if the Glazers/board would sanction 6 incoming players. We renewed Rojo's contract and then said that we would only get a new defender in if we sold him.
It is, so long as it's over two summers and not 'never'. We are at a place where we can and need to clear out the squad. I would personally be okay with this calculated approach, missing Champions League for the next season and then the final touches next summer setting us up for a second season under Ole where we might challenge for the title.pretty sensible approach isn't it?
As many as they need to win CL, me thinks. And it's not just attacking players.How many attacking players does City want?
Different time, buying 6 players back then would not impact our financials considerably. But buying 6 players now would. We didn't even break £180m under LVG, that'll get you 3 good players nowadays, or 2 if you want a world class player.We did sign six players in both summers under LvG. But yes six players this summer is very unlikely.
Bare minimum maybe but if that is the case then every position that needs strengthening will beSo a replacement for Herrera, Mata, Valencia and a CB. All depends on the quality and how far down the list we end up at.
Does seem the bare minimum though
Blow the budget on 4 top quality players and promote Mason, Chong and Gomes. That would be 7 new additions to the first team squad.Tweet
