Was too early to write off a young talent who has shown insane promise last season. Foden can't get a game at City. Doesn't mean he's crapI see the Longstaff talk has started again with some fans. I pray like last window it doesn't happen and in any other subsequent window to boot.
If we don't sign in Jan we are an absolute joke. Ole needs to be putting the pressure on! The squad isn't good enough and the first half of the season showed what one injury in attack does to us.
It would be hugely reckless not to invest in the team in January because our squad is paper thin at the moment but at the same time we're showing signs of getting our act together and the right investment could have us back in contention for the top 4. I am hoping these are just briefings from Ed so we're not going to get screwed over in negotiations.The usual not buying in Jan stories are starting to emerge unsurprisingly
Shock,horror! We won a couple of big games, morale is high again, no injection of positivity is needed.The usual not buying in Jan stories are starting to emerge unsurprisingly
Conversely, Vardy stayed put with interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. Every player has a different motivation.Kante moved from league title winning Leicester to Chelsea when they had no Champions League football. Maddison aint turning down United.
True but Vardy was 29 and content to be a Leicester legend than go to a giant club and be competing for his place (and I don't blame him for that at all, it was the right decision). Maddison is still young.Conversely, Vardy stayed put with interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. Every player has a different motivation.
Via Express, nothing to see here then, move on..

Vardy was 29 and it was Arsenal. A club showing no ambition and now consistently lives outside the Champions League.Conversely, Vardy stayed put with interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. Every player has a different motivation.
Sausage or Swiss?How about Hee Chan Hwang as our new nr 10? He can play all the rolls on top. His also hard working, fantastic control and also a goal scorer.
Ugh! If this guy ends up being next Mo Salah for them we should fire our recruiting department... actually why don't we fire them anyway, like proactively? Don't think they are doing any good as it is.Tweet

That is a ridiculously low price. I imagine if we were in for him (which I wouldn't mind at all) that the price would be a lot higher. They are basically giving him away...Tweet

Where's this myth come from then? Seriously now. 10-5yrs ago yes. City were quoted the Same for Maguire (initial price) and walked. You don't think they'd have got him for 80m. We could've got Mane for the same Liverpool did. What did Chelsea get Pulisic for? 60m? Show me a source where we were interested for more? I fact give me the same regarding Mahrez?That is a ridiculously low price. I imagine if we were in for him (which I wouldn't mind at all) that the price would be a lot higher.

Somebody tell me it's just the 12th Dec and we're not in January yet?If we don't sign in Jan we are an absolute joke. Ole needs to be putting the pressure on! The squad isn't good enough and the first half of the season showed what one injury in attack does to us.
And or midfield is paper thin.
Repeat that and your just stupid.
Also can't be waiting till summer to spend as we will very likely need to buy 3 players to strengthen and then a midfielder or two on top of that assuming Pogba leaves and let's be honest we won't do that. So the only solution is buy in Jan or else we are just accepting another season with no expectations
Did you want us to sign him two days ago?Ugh! If this guy ends up being next Mo Salah for them we should fire our recruiting department... actually why don't we fire them anyway, like proactively? Don't think they are doing any good as it is.
In hindsight - why notDid you want us to sign him two days ago?
Is this journalist credible? I'd have thought we would be better placed than Dortmund given he's born in England, has a seemingly good relationship already with Ole, will get just as much playing time and higher wages.Tweet

If the Journo in question is the one that worked for the Sun, then I would have doubts about this story.Is this journalist credible? I'd have thought we would be better placed than Dortmund given he's born in England, has a seemingly good relationship already with Ole, will get just as much playing time and higher wages.
But you never know under Raiola where the feck players will end up, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a Juventus or PSG player after all this
If that's the case then whoever wrote up his contract should be firedSupposedly a release clause
Why are you so angry? Are you seriously going to try and tell me that we don't pay over the top for players? Give your head a shake...Where's this myth come from then? Seriously now. 10-5yrs ago yes. City were quoted the Same for Maguire (initial price) and walked. You don't think they'd have got him for 80m. We could've got Mane for the same Liverpool did. What did Chelsea get Pulisic for? 60m?

This United tax thing is another myth peddled by the board that wants fans to think we're being ripped off and that excuses us
We are no longer the wealthiest club out there. Face it. So we're not seen as an easy mugoff anymore financially and if we are, it's through bad negotiation.
Very good mate you know how a calendar works.Somebody tell me it's just the 12th Dec and we're not in January yet?
Being unable to sign the best players mid January is not an ‘excuse’. Think people should bear that in mind before their inevitable tantrums next month. Half this forum are convinced Pogba will leave, but in their hypocrisy, follow on with ‘but we won’t sell him in January’. Yet other teams should sell us their best ones. And have the deals done in December no less.Very good mate you know how a calendar works.
As you know it's best to have this business being done or close to done before Jan. Otherwise the excuses come out the woodwork is all.
If it is gonna be three players, then I hope we sign two midfielders and Sancho.Tweet

The excuses have been coming out for the past 2-3 weeks, probably longer from both Ed and Ole.Very good mate you know how a calendar works.

Are you sat in your house, honestly believing, that Ed Woodward and Ole Solskjaer don’t want to improve the Manchester United team? That it’s just something us bright sparks have considered, while we languish outside the top 4 no less?The excuses have been coming out for the past 2-3 weeks, probably longer from both Ed and Ole.
I'm led in bed thanks for your concern mate. Did I say they don't want to improve the team or did you just not read the person who I quoted and the person they replied to? I'm going to go with neither happening.Are you sat in your house, honestly believing, that Ed Woodward and Ole Solskjaer don’t want to improve the Manchester United team?

if we get two of those our chances for top 4 are not bad at all! Haaland is the only realistic one for January window, though? Would still go a long way in being able to rest Rashford and help with the end-of-season exhaustionTweet
