Get Alderweireld. Simple choice and spend a year finding top quality CB we don't pay 90m for
After the shenanigans last year great to see them digging their feet in.
that much for him
No, not really.. 1 good game than 20 meh games.Eh? That’s nothing in today’s market for a top 6 standard player. De Jong went for £70m+. Kovacic is good.

We've dug our heels in over Darmian, which is why he's still with us. We need to strike a balance between wanting a fair fee and wanting rid of the deadwood.Don't think I've ever seen united play hardball selling a player with lukaku and pogba. Its good to see for a change.
Neymar performs very well when he's fit, he's had two serious injuries at crucial times of the season both years he's been there.Neymar can forget about leaving. He chose to go to PSG so now he needs to start performing for them where it matters instead of throwing a fit.

Yep and they will have to put up with his mystery injuries. Match made in heaven.Neymar can forget about leaving. He chose to go to PSG so now he needs to start performing for them where it matters instead of throwing a fit.
Just Eddy trying to get a few back on his side briefly. Worked.Yeah over a player we don't want
Realistically we'll either accept a larger loan / instalment offer or a lower money up front offer. We want him gone. He wants to go. Everyone knows it. Being petty because of perisic would be pointless.
I would assume he wants a lot of money and a long contract. We probably aren't willing to give him both. It's his last bumper payday after all.This has always been a mystery. Plan C but neverthless a good option

Bet you he'll do a lot more for Chelsea going forward than Fred will for us.No, not really.. 1 good game than 20 meh games.
The counter to your point is that, firstly, the fans (not the online community) will be far more forgiving to Ole than other managers.
Secondly, if fans can see that changes are happening, that an identity is being created, and that progression to a visible end-point is being made, there is also less likely to be a change of manager.
I'm really liking this drive we seem to be on to scoop up properly talented youngsters from around Europe. It might take a couple of years to bear fruit but it's a very positive change of tack.
We do pick these talents up but then it is either we don't develop them properly or it is down to these kids.Didn't we do this with Pereira, Fosu Mensah, Chong, Gomes. Its not new and I just hope it works because its been a long time since one came through and become a star for us. Pogba kind of did.
While I agree, I don’t think they would have signed him if they didn’t have the transfer banBet you he'll do a lot more for Chelsea going forward than Fred will for us.

So the online community are not fans who's opinions count?
Ole finishes 6th again and leads us through another pathetic run of results. He will be sacked and should be.
This club needs very good players to compete with the very good players the top 5 teams have. They can be 18 or 28 age means nothing to a degree. We just need the right players. James and Longstaff should be brought in to supplement some top class additions. Alone it would be a a very underwhelming window and we will struggle.
Seriously!?! Where did I say online fans didn't count? Was simply making the point online fans are generally much more fickle in nature. Read my last reply about this regarding Jose.
Worst 'saga' ever. Nobody knows if he's worth it or who is truly interested in the player.
We are reaching the stage where noone can afford to buy anyone. Which in the in long term probably is good for football.
I think you've misinterpreted what I said. I like the player but it's only fair to point out any obvious weaknesses a player may have if you're suggesting him as an option. Clearly if a player is 5'6 he won't be any good in the air. It's a balanced statement: he looks good but he's very short.Seriously, who cares as long as he can score! Since when is height more important than goal scoring ability?
He looks like he knows how to put the ball in the net, very sharp in and around the box, would take him all day long ahead of Lukaku and Rashford.
By your logic Messi, Maradonna, Pele, Solskjaer etc wouldn't be considered....
He won't start 38 games next year. Solskjaer starts rashford ahead of him. He's a substitute on big money who has made it clear he wants to leave.Lukaku has 28 goals in 66 appearances - the best goals to appearance ratio in the team. Yes, I'd give him one more year. If he starts 38 games next year, he'll score 19 to 20 goals. He's averaged nearly 1 in 2 games for a long time.
But more than this, he's statistically Utd's fastest player. And if you're trying to be the fastest team in Europe, you don't sell your fastest player.
that much for him
We've always signed youth players alongside first team. That's how we got Chong and TFM. Not sure what your issue is. They're divorced from each other.This is getting daft now. Exciting at the same time because yeah we'll hopefully have some amazing players coming through soon, but we need first team players now.
Didn't we do this with Pereira, Fosu Mensah, Chong, Gomes. Its not new and I just hope it works because its been a long time since one came through and become a star for us. Pogba kind of did.
Spurs are thrifty, they're not poor. They're the ninth wealthiest club in the world. They can afford to spend the money especially if they know an eriksen sale can reap it back in afterwards. And of course it depends how they structure payments for any player they buy. If only 25% is up front then that's unlikely to be a problem.Maybe but I doubt Spurs can afford to Shell out £120 million on 2 midfielders before they sell Eriksen - when they have so many other areas they need to strengthen. They have 2 fullbacks they apparently don't rate (and rightly so) - no backup for Kane etc
I think the phrase we're struggling for is 0.012%
Wasn't going to reply because I clearly said I don't have an issue, especially with these 16 y/o prospect signings. But we've changed our first team transfer strategy this season. Articles like the one further back state that Ole's buying players to develop himself such as James and Longstaff. They're first team purchases, but they're not (yet) first team quality, and you can find previous posts of mine saying how happy I am we're buying these sort of players but only if we buy immediate talent alongside.We've always signed youth players alongside first team.
