Yeah, I agree. 2 forwards, 2 midfielders and at least one full-back would be what I would want.

Would upset the dressing room maybe if Pogba came in on a free at the top tier of wages.
They've done well getting that much for him.

HahahahahahhaHAHAHAHAhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Brilliant trolling by ‘Keysie’

Richard Keys, oh boy!
It was just banter.
Yep, thought let's have a laugh. Apperantly "he heard" someone at Chelsea said it.
He’d be a good Rudiger replacement in their back 5
Why do you believe that we will wait for July before starting work on transfers? We’ve learnt that lesson already from moyes spell.
I’m sure that Ten Hag will already have had a look at the list of targets and given his opinion already.
Selling him to Chelsea would be like wining a trophy

Chelsea buying Maguire just to make Lukaku look amazing in training.
I’ve been thinking about this - and actually we should be signing players to suit a system, not a manager. You are right. No need to wait for a manager who doesn’t know the club.

This seems like a good move if Liverpool has agreed to push a loanee or 2 to them for no fee, but otherwise a bad move.
Would take Kane IF we didn't have serious problems in defence and midfield, however we probably have a chance of Haaland if we weren't such a shitshow of a club right now. Still guts me he has decided against going to Spain.
Would accept this if we actually went for a free agent like Kamara, however knowing this summer City will stick the knife in and take De Jong too.
Damn you Real, Barca & PSG why didn't you keep him out of City's grasp. Instead you have made our league a foregone conclusion
Okay. And we didn't have a DoF until this time last year and up to January, Woodward was still running everything. Judge Murtough and the new direction in a couple years and also if/when ETH leaves if we go for a manager similar to his playstyle.
Agreed, we haven't started our journey under Murtough's tenure yet, and results won't really begin to show until around 2-3 years in.
This season has been so bad and seen the clubs reputation take such a beating that I feel like our pull for top players is at its lowest ebb. The board has to be proactive and imaginative with its transfer dealings but we have previous for being slow cumbersome with recruitment.
Its just a nightmare at the moment, I take solace in the fact Liverpool have completely changed under Klopp coupled with top recruitment. Essentially hoping the clubs restructure performs miracles, I have my doubts.
I check this place daily. When are you going to post some good news for Man United?
When the new manager is available to have a say on new signings and when the window is open probably.
So ones for your diary 15th of May last Ajax game & 10th of June window opens
Seems like a great move for him. Split time with Antonio for a couple seasons but he has the mobility and desire, though maybe not the strength, to play for Moyes. And if Moyes ever goes, he's the main striker at a solid club.
This simply cannot be true, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
New owners splashing the cash on a great England starting half back.
We will have to sell quite a few players to get in the amount of players needed unless we are planning on some FREE transfers.
It's Keys, it's absolute twaddle
The shocking this is that Grealish has wage parity with KDB and now Haaland.
Jack fecking Grealish.. fecking hell
You can't trust a single word in the media or from City when it comes to their wages
Did we?? Summer 2018 and 2019 told me otherwise though. in 2018 we gave Mourinho Lee Grant, Dalot, and Fred even after finishing 2nd in the league and FA Cup indicating the club had lost faith in him even after extending his contract just 5 months ealier, in 2019 we waited til the last days of transfer window before finally caved in to Leicester's demand for Maguire, giving Ole and Maguire no time to adapt. Imagine same scenario happen to ETH?
This club do not deserve good faith from the supporters, YET. After all who can guarantee the Glazers will not use "club restructuration" as excuse for doing poorly in the transfer market? so excuse me for being overly pessimistic.
In fairness to the signing of Maguire, it’s not possible to do absolutely every deal early. Sometimes a deal will happen last minute. Suddenly a club will change their selling stance at the last minute.
i don’t get your first example, what’s the significance to the point I made?
The point I’ve made is not only from the club point of view, I also believe that ETH will not allow things to happen so late in the transfer market. By all accounts he lives, eats and sleeps football down to the smallest things. He will have had his say or delivered a list already
The funny thing is I was explaining this to a family member more recently, of all the premier League clubs I feel Maguire would suit Chelsea the most.
Most of his of his weaknesses (awareness and mobility) are glossed over in a back three with an agile RWB (James) who can defend comfortably and a right sided defender to cover that defensive zone. So all Harry has to do is play a narrow game for 90 mins which is exactly what he does for Southgate.

That’s according to AS, who go on to state the Red Devils have joined AS Roma, Sassuolo and Udinese. They further add that José Mourinho’s side are the ‘most interested’ club from Serie A. FC Porto and Paris Saint-Germain are also tagged in the report.Tweet

Operating mainly as a striker, he scored five goals and seven assists in all competitions in 2021. Farías has been used across all positions up front and also in the attacking midfield position this year, managing two goals from 16 matches.
It’s claimed that clubs in Europe view the teenager as ‘rough diamond’ due to his profile, qualities and age. River Plate and Boca Juniors have failed in attempts to sign the young Argentine.
AS state that ‘now everything seems to indicate’ that Farías ‘will pack his bags’ to leave Colón and make a switch to Europe, with Italy, France and England being ‘more than appetising destinations’.
Which could be after tomorrow. I Ajax win tomorrow evening they will be champions
