I would tell them to whistle. Given his talent and performances, I wouldn't take less than £20m for Smalling, preferably closer to £30m. He's twice the CB Lindelöf or Bailly are, for example.

Agreed.Hope this one is not true.
Midfield first."...could cost up to £100m."
I like the sound of that.
Although I think he may cost more. I'd bee very happy if were to sign him for that amountTweet

I imagine it Pogba leave we will be paid for it. There will be money to sign a replacement regardless.not even sure I'd want them to splash all that money on Sancho at this point. Sure, great player at a position of need - but I see that midfield and think it's a much bigger issue, especially if Pogba leaves. Do we spend the much needed money there if we sign Sancho? I have my doubts.
We’re always told United have funds, but in reality looks like we need to balance the books.I imagine it Pogba leave we will be paid for it. There will be money to sign a replacement regardless.
Well we have the third-highest revenues in world football, so I think we can afford both to be honest.Midfield first.
And there lies the crux of the matter. Yes, we are inherently rich as a football club, but the owners limit what we can use by lining their back pockets. Also money is only as good as the subject it's being spent on, which we seem to always get wrong in recent years.Well we have the third-highest revenues in world football, so I think we can afford both to be honest.
Oh right. We believe that. Like sureeeeee, everyone's gonna give us a free run at one of the world's hottest properties.It seems like all a journo has to do to get a story out of United these days is to ask them what they're confident about that week.
Yes, of course that’s it.Imagine Jadon Sancho coming here?
Fantastical rubbish. Media spin for the man, the legend himself, Ed Woodward......season tickets be renewing soon, right? Couple of months is it?
I really hate everything about thisTweet

Would much rather it was Phil Jones going but hopefully that happens in the summer.Tweet

Why? Smalling is done here, he isn't going to get better and when we was here, he wasn't amazing anyway.I really hate everything about this

Ideally, we ought to be spotting, and being in the running for guys like Kai Havertz before they have the breakout seasons with their respective clubs. The same could be said, for example, for Haaland. High value youngsters. It's obviously higher risk, but the pay-off is much higher. I'd be happy if we went for players on the cusp of superstardom, rather than established big names who'd be priced out the market.Yep.
There are two ways to view this, and both have grounds for truth
1) Its better to snap up these talents when they cost £20m than when they cost £90m from Leicester City. Agreed. Some will turn out to be the next Maddison, some will be the next Phil Jones. No issue with the overall approach though.
2) The lower we fall, the lower profile and quality of player will want to join us. It damages the club's PR if we're bidding for and being laughed at by world-class talents regularly. We struggled to get players like Sancho last summer, finishing 6th. We have no chance next summer, finishing 10th or so (looks likely based on the first half of the season).
No idea. I prefer this way - you have to accept more hits and misses but financially makes more sense as things are.Why were we not always doing this?
The Mirror are just making shit up. United have had scouts designated to the lower leagues since before most of us came into existence.Why were we not always doing this?
I think this January United will go aggressively in market, i can see at least two players signed. I just hope one of them is a proper midfielder.Tweet

Never heard of Ben White. What are people's opinions of him please?Tweet

No I’m pretty sure Sancho has more with plenty of assists thrown in. Also his goals have come in the Bundesliga and CL so don’t think it’s a fair comparison.Sancho has as many goals as Greenwood this year. Hope he's worth 100m
And plenty of assists, which is what he is in the side for, not to mention he has scored more.Sancho has as many goals as Greenwood this year. Hope he's worth 100m

Thanks for sharing that . Some incredible stats in there and Bielsa seems to rate him very highly.http://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewt...sid=293e1483f7a48d72832df4cda7e43ef3&start=40
He belongs to Brighton though so I'm not sure where the idea that he'd be cheap comes from.
It appears he's one of those players that has got a lot better very quickly, bit like Maddison did at Norwich.Thanks for sharing that . Some incredible stats in there and Bielsa seems to rate him very highly.
Jarrod Bowen might be one too.Tweet
