In all honesty though, I'm all for that signing, if we see potential in him, but the price point is a joke.

The only way we will get Sancho is to get CL football. It is imperative
Well it's actually 52.5 mill plus two players, one player on loan. That 25% sell on clause we have is the reason why they are asking for 100 millImagine rejecting 70 mil + 2 players for ...................Zaha
I'd say he's probably happy with the players he did get, but also feels he didn't get enough players. Probably hoped for 4 or 5 and got 3 instead. He'd do well to keep his concerns / criticism indoors though.
Yeah agreed. Just annoys me that guys like Stone/Ducker are alluding to us “pursuing other targets” but don’t provide any names. They’re basically guessing that we must be after somebody.
I think people massively under estimate how important midfield is to defending. Look at liverpools midfield. Its no wonder they concede so few, their midfield is like another line of defence. We'll have matic and mctominay in there shielding us...
I think Tielemans, Ndombele and Fernandes were all achievable targets, but alas
We don’t adequately reinforce and are potentially going into next season with a weaker midfield than the year before, and this thread is already position itself to blame Pogba for a potential disastrous incoming season

He isn’t better than those two. Martial will be a much better striker than Lukaku if given an extended run there.

That thought is also draining me now!The thought of two Matic's drained me.
It's totally unbelievable that we haven't signed any midfielder. How it is even possible? After Fellaini and Herrera everybody waited at least one midfielder and hoped two. No idea what went wrong but i would like to know. I don't believe anybody in club is happy with options we have.
15 extra goals is a big jump for them to make. Especially when we barely have any creative players in the team. I just don't see where they will get the extra goals.
People also forget pogba had a freak year he is unlikely to replicate that form again for us especially since he doesn't want to be here.
So Newcastle are asking for £50m all summer, but would be willing to accept £10-15m less 24 hours before the deadline, which doesn't even give them the time to find a replacement? Highly unlikely.
how do Everton spend so much?Farhad Moshiri
It's more of a generalization than a personal attack on you, so my apologies.
I hear what you're saying, and in an ideal world of course that's how we'd want it. However this leads into another discussion about player agents. Doesn't matter if Dybala/whoever was a lifelong united season ticket holder with posters of Djemba Djemba on his bedroom wall as a child - his agent knows what players get at United and the fact that he would be giving up guaranteed trophies and success in the short term and he will want his client to be paid massively.
Until we are successful again, we won't be able to pull the best players without paying a shit ton of money, it's as simple as that. And unfortunately the bottom line is we won't be able to compete now with the teams above us by signing average players who really want to play for United. We don't have a legendary boss to pull anymore, our club's structure is very publicly scrutinized by everyone. We seem, from the outside, an unstable, declining club football wise.
Also please don't get me wrong, we are not that far off in terms of our first team. We have 3-4 positions which need filling with world class talent, but we are going to have to pay massively to get them filled.
At least when the club are briefing this it's for the sake of optics. We have loads on here making the same argument and i can't figure for whose benefit because its obviously bollocks.We want to bring in one more but he's happy with what he has?...........So he mustn't be that happy if he wants another player in.
WTF!
No way is Ole actually happy he'll be pulling his hair out in private trying to get more in.
You've spent ages tapping out absolute nonsense here. You're either bitter about not having a good working relationship with clubs as the way they interact with media changed or are simply making it all up.
Not a chance this is true.

There’ll be a compromise if it happens. Do you really think they will get 50M for Sean fecking Longstaff? It’s just posturing i reckon. We’ll walk away again if the price stays that way and we should be. Newcastle have also spent money on quite a few players i think
Oh FFS this cannot be true.
70 mil + 2 players for zaha and now 30 for Iwobi.100 mil for 2 average players.
What are they smoking?
Just have a feeling based on the fact it seems like he's one of the other lot we've specifically earmarked and now all our AM options seem to have run out, we'll go for him.Why do you think we'll end up with Longstaff? Not a single journalist has indicated we will, and Newcastle have said they won't sell him.
Agreed, it's quite a pivotal season for us if we want him.
Forgot about Tielemans!!! We are absolute feckin idiots for not going for him. He was cheap too.
Are Everton throwing money at every winger available?
Starting to fiercely dislike him.
Why he just won't man up?
Waste of space.
Cause he's a hypocrite
Surely he's not going to get paid his wage while refusing to show up? So unless he comes back any time soon we won't be having any expenses with him, at least?
What if Longstaff has a good season? The thought they were entitled to £50m now, what would they ask after a full season?
Oh, absolutely! And the only silver lining to our poor recruitment is that the likes of Gomes and Greenwood will be getting the chances to gain that first team experience in proper games in the Europa League.
I think both of them are good enough to provide the X factor our team currently lacks, but that as they are kids, we can't rely on them to do it week in and week out.
Any chance of tempting Everton for Lingard?
What was Friday’s rebuke about?
Conventional wisdom would say you're right (although there's not as much correlation here as you would assume), but the 12 we were awarded last season is the (joint) second highest in premier League history and nobody has ever been given more than 13. It would be pretty unlikely for that number to stay the same, even with a more attacking brand of football.
Presumably him tweeting out those analytics.
Think that was the posting of confidential data.
Oh that yes. Cheers lads
Our net spend this summer is only 20m. We've spent 80m total so far but received 60m for players we have sold so we still have room to negotiate.
EDIT: Also, we don't want two wingers. Just one. I assume if there is no room to negotiate with Palace anymore we are moving onto other targets.
Why the feck has he fallen out with Pogba?
