Not too fussed about a striker but we haven't addressed midfield.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
Another £25m for the Glazers pockets. Fecking leeches. Great work be Ed though, 25m is robbery. Sad they wont invest it into the squad.It also means our net spend is like £50m or something if it goes through.
Not if we prioritise Europa and win it!Europa league again next year,here we come!
I remember Pereira's good pre-seasons as well and that Darren Fletcher looked great on the US tour in LvG's first season, then we started playing real competitive football and reality took over, same thing here.Tweet

Just wait for their performance threads on here.What a surprise. I just hope the fans don't get on the youngsters backs if they fail to hit the ground running.
Only on Twitter and internet forums. At the ground, they'll be cheered every time they pick their nose.What a surprise. I just hope the fans don't get on the youngsters backs if they fail to hit the ground running.
£44mSo that's a 50 mill net spend then for us?
Some European club could still sign him in the coming few weeks.Still stuck with Darmian....

I dont disagree with the idea behind this, but its a big old gamble for Ole and I wonder how much of it is the club just not being able to get the deals done.Tweet

If they're good enough to step up what's the problem?When all else fails play the youth card fans will suck it up.
Of course they will. Look at how willing they are to get on the back of the absolute legend we have as manager.What a surprise. I just hope the fans don't get on the youngsters backs if they fail to hit the ground running.
If we'd paid £150m for Maguire, that would have been better. Then our net spend would have been £114m.£44m
Maguire +£80m
AWB +£45m
James +£18m
Lukaku -£74m
Rojo -£25m?
Valencia and Herrera off the wages (£200k per week combined).
Fellaini sold in January for £7m.
you can get 2 years out of him. 7 mil a year - Not that bad. He'd contribute and give us something different.He’s 34 years old with probably one season left to play at this level, I couldn’t have been more delighted we didn’t get Perisic either.
We have experienced cover for all of them though with our "dead wood"Difference being it could derail their development as a player and they become just another promising academy player that ends up struggling to find a club because of we handled them.
Take off another £15-20m or so if Zaha goes and we're looking at below £30m.£44m
Maguire +£80m
AWB +£45m
James +£18m
Lukaku -£74m
Rojo -£25m?
Valencia and Herrera off the wages (£200k per week combined).
Fellaini sold in January for £7m.
What are you confused about? Fletcher looked great on our US tour under LvG in that first season, just go back and look at the threads, people were convinced he was reborn and a midfield of him, Herrera and Carrick was going to be great.
You really think they're the solution, they may step up but they ain't a solution to get us where we need to be this year, still very raw.If they're good enough to step up what's the problem?
What the actual f. Why can’t we buy a midfielder like other clubs.
Darren Fletcher was a good player for us I have know idea who you're talking about but you're getting confused.What are you confused about?

Massive IF.If they're good enough to step up what's the problem?
No bigger an if than bringing someone in who hasn't kicked a ball in English football before.Massive IF.
Disagree.No bigger an if than bringing someone in who hasn't kicked a ball in English football before.
The back 5 is sorted is it not?Net Spend Champions 2019
Rebuild
Ole happy to promote Greenwood....but still wastes last couple of days negotiating for a grandad to get in his way and yet we don't focus on midfield with glaring weaknesses.Tweet

Ole trusts them so that's good enough for me. He's in a better position to judge than any of us.Massive IF.
That's banking on them wanting to come to us like we've struggled with this window. We're taking a huge huge risk. Hopefully it pays off.The back 5 is sorted is it not?
Next window or two and we will complete it by getting in midfielders and forwards.
