Does anyone think we could still get a CB too from out of nowhere before the window closes

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Reguilon in for £25m, Dalot out for £10m. 15m to substantially upgrade our fullback options. Get it done, Woody!
Can see us moving on just enough players to cover the VDB transfer so I reckon we’ll finish the window with Donny, Reguilon and Sancho with a net outlay of around £120m. In a Covid world, I’d be very happy with that as it’s in line with what we usually spend.

Not going to happen as we don't have enough quality and fit CB. Unless smalling stays and we buy another. Too many injury prone CB to play the formation.
Yeah if we could get those three I would give that an 8/10. Yes I know we still need a DM & CB too but think those signings will be next summer
Shaw plays LCB when 3 at the back.
Surely those two are the same
I'm assuming:
-----------------------------De Gea------------------------
---------Lindelof-------Maguire-------Shaw------
AWB------Bruno------VDB-------Pogba----Telles
-------------------Martial-------Rashford---------------
I also can't see it happening - purely because we were so fixed on playing the 4-2-3-1 last year
I thought he was a French rugby player.
I’m going to call it that this is a Regulion smokescreen. Possibly a move to get more favourable conditions from Real for him.
A one off game sure. But to have your main formation dependant on a position which are full of injured backup players is not smart. Backup is Baily, Jones and Tuanzebe.
Not sure if they're related, but you'll get very different YouTube compilations if you mix them up.
Why would we pay 10 million more than Sevilla?
I don't think Solskjaer would play it regularly but with fullbacks who are adept at resisting pressure, good combination play and the ability to get in behind, it would certainly add to Solskjaer's tactical thinking which is very important.
Sevilla most likely had it in their loan deal with various buy back, first option and sell on clauses.
United wouldn't want a buy back so pay a little more.
Seems to be an obsession with Callum Wilson on here, never ending tweets about the transfer. Nobody cares!
Agreed. We do this so often. It's infuriating. We need to have our deals lined up BEFORE the summer so we can just sign when the window opens. Negotiating now shows a lack of proactivity and could sour relationship with other clubs (IE telling Bournemouth they have 15 mins to accept our bid for Josh King) when they have limited time for replacements.
Like to remove a buyback clause and to ensure other favourable contract terms (IE paying more but over an extended period of time).
Same
There was one post saying he was a young kid and I though “I’m sure I heard that name about 5 years ago”
Two decent transfers for Newcastle. Callum Wilson and Jamal Lewis will improve them.
Fraser will be good for them too.
Would be nice if we could ship out Dalot and insert some buy back or performance clauses.
Newcastle doing solid business
Yeah the geordies have done some good business so fair play to them for that. Think it will help that Wilson & Fraser already know each others games
I, ashamedly, watched his YouTube compilation video and I cant really see any clips of Telles beating his man and whipping the ball in or cutting the ball back. He’s very skilful and looks like a very competent penalty taker but is he what we want? Please enlighten me if I’m wrong about him, haven’t seen much of Porto.
I’m guessing this is a “make your mind up, Real” or we will sign someone else kinda signal.

Some on here say he's the dog bollocks and that he's very very good. I have never seen him myself but i imagine Porto will price him close to 50M euros
Newcastle and Everton will be teams that will have the odd great game when they take points from some of the big boys. Some very nice signings from both.
We played it lots last season especially away against the top teams. I'd envision it more of a 3-4-2-1 though with Bruno still playing in front of two midfielders.Surely those two are the same

---------Lindelof-------Maguire-------Shaw------
AWB------Bruno------VDB-------Pogba----Telles

do you think its either or, or all 4?!
Him and Fraser are some smart signings imo. I'm surprised they didn't have more competition for Fraser on a free
Que?
We were already in discussions for Sancho and VDB months ago, so I think the club were active before the window.
Entering negotiations now is what every other club is doing, City with Napoli for example.
Shows the club is willing to get the best deal for the club rather than getting taken for a ride.
I’d take Reguilon over Telles too.
Apparently closer to 30 million as his contract has less than a year on it now. Either way I guess he will be a good option at LB but if Sergio is available for the same price and is 4/5 years younger, for me, it’s a no brainer.
Your guess is as good as mine brother. But it would be nice to bring in all 4 which would really strengthen the squad but I doubt we'll sign a striker in the current window unless a opportunity presents itself.
Quite honestly I haven't a clue who are even the targets at CB or ST
Yeah and that also looks like the case now for CB as well but would love to be proved totally wrong
Either I reckon. The striker anyway (can't see us getting a striker AND Sancho. If Sancho comes in then Martial/Greenwood/Ighalo (till Jan) is enough options at centre forward I reckon.
I know it's Luckhurst, but I do think he's right in that article when he says the search for a CB may be delayed until next summer. I think we are laying the groundwork now for a move for Upamecano next year.
Yeah don't see us bringing in a ST until after January when Ighalo leaves,agree with you about the CB being earmarked for next summer as well.
No point in buying a CB for the sake of buying one. We don't need any more backup CBs, we need a top quality one. So unless we can't get Upamecano or Konate or someone with similar potential, there's no point in buying a CB. I hope we are already talking with Upamecano and I hope we will be able to bring him in next year. Reguilon would be a good buy for 20-25 million pounds IMO. Don't think we really need Alcantara, especially considering the wages he would be looking for. Would rather we go for a good DM unless OGS feels Fred, McT and Matic can do a good job. But I really really hope we can get Sancho. Sancho + Reguilon + DVB would be a very good window IMO. Get a CB, a DM next summer and maybe a ST If Martial is still inconsistent and I our squad would be pretty good
I would say brilliant window if we are able to get those three players,could turn into a fantastic one with that other spanish player (not using his name on purpose)
