Manchester United banter 72046

 

Use our rumours form to send us manchester united transfer rumours.

If reports are to be believed, then we are going to be selling quite a few and remolding the squad a great deal.

Players such as Romero, Blind, Jones, Marcos Rojo, Valencia, Young and Mata I think are all for the chop. You could make a case for someone like Herrera too if he hasn't impressed enough - especially with the rumours of Andre Gomes and Pogba.

That is going to raise some serious funds to go with what we already have. I could see us spending upwards of £250 million.

Pickford as a new back up keeper sounds a fantastic idea. Oxford I think would be a good option. With the two of them we would have two of the top young English talents to add to the likes of Rashford and Shaw who will be the backbone of the national side for years to come.

I am also excited to see who the striker will be. We will be definitely be seeing a new, big name, striker. Whether it is Zlatan, Benzema or Aubameyang I have no idea. But any one of them would be excellent.

Centre back is the area that will see most work. I think we could see three signed including Oxford, perhaps Lindelhof and another - hopefully Varane to reshape the defense.

Exciting times.

250 million? An year before the glazers may sell the club?

31 May 2016 14:30:35
My god, so many youngsters. And here we are thinking Jose doesn't trust/ play the youth. Exciting times.

But a bit disappointed that we haven't signed anyone yet. I am getting a bit over zealous and can't wait for the season to start.

31 May 2016 14:55:59
If we can win the league this season, then i'd imagine the price of the club would increase more than 250 million. The owners haven't been afraid to spend the last few years.

31 May 2016 15:06:55
I don't think well see that much upheaval tbh, maybe 3/ 4 in 3/ 4 out with the holes in the squad being supplemented by the likes of fosu-mensah, lingard and rashford who weren't neccesarily designated first team members at the start of last season.

Also i expect jose to stick with phil jones for at least another season.

31 May 2016 15:18:14
For top young English talent see Smalling, Jones, Cleverly, Zaha, Powell. hasn't worked out well for us lately.

Would love us to sign Varane, don't know enough about Lindelhof. Garay or Manolas would b good I think.

Would be interesting to see Zlatan play for us although rumours seem to have him going elsewhere now

Wouldn't want Benzema near the club, poor Giggsy would be bankrupt in a month.

Griezmann would be ideal as he and Rashford can both play CF or RF, those 2 and Martial switching positions like Rooney Tevez and Ronaldo would be exciting. Pace, finishing and dribbling ability.

Id keep Valencia. I'll be one to admit I've wanted him gone for a long time but he was hitting form and doesn't cause s scene when he doesn't play. A very hard worker and powerful player who I think can still do a job on the wing. But rb i'd prefer darmian or mensah. AV Is wasted yhetr.

What reports are you referring to daily star and metro?

This is not fifa football manager mate and we will not be selling anywhere near the numbers or the players you are mentioning. Does anyone actually stop to think that what's available out there is not necessarily any better than what we have at inflated costs.

I will bet you will maybe 3 go and 4 or 5 come in. the squad is too small for Mourinho's liking anyway as he likes big squads.

If reports are to believed then we are signing half of Europe.

Whilst I agree that there are plenty of players who aren't good enough, are too old and injury prone, will be looking to move elsewhere or simply don't fit the new managers style (Fellaini, Jones, Rojo, Blind, Carrick, Rooney, Mata, Bastian, Young, Valencia, etc) - it's worth remembering that our squad is already incredibly light and in an ideal world every player that goes would be replaced as well as the 2-3 players we need to balance out the squad.

If we assume that DDG is on his way to RM we already need to sign 3-4 players before anybody else leaves. Realistically I only see 2 or 3 players going as introducing too many new faces at once could have a negative effect on the squad and the 6 or 7 that would come in if the aforementioned unfolded would really be pushing it.

Mata is an obvious candidate as he will bring in a decent amount of money which can be reinvested and Fellaini and Blind are the two signings associated most with the two previous managers.

It might seem like lazy journalism but looking at the big picture these three seem to be the most likely to be shown the door.

I don't think we need £250m.

I think we need:
Back Up Keeper (Pickford - £15m)
2 CBs (Varance or Stones and Oxford £70m)
1 CM (Krachowiack - £45m)
1 Right Winger (Saul - £45m)
1 ST (Ibra - Free)
Total Spend £185m

Sell:
Jones (£10m)
Rojo (£5m)
Schweinsteiger (Free)
Mata or Herrera (£20m)
Fellaini (£15m)
Janusaj (£10m)
Total Receipts: £60m

Net Spend £125m

Replace Rooney/ Ibra over next two summers.

3 out 3 in I reckon.

£250m in one window? Benzema, aubamayang etc, your really playing Fifa again here fresh! Setting yourself up for a big fall. And talk of spending £40m on stones is a joke. £20m is pay and that it.

31 May 2016 20:50:20
I agree with Bear's assessment of players In and Out and likely overall net spend.
Personally think it would be a mistake to let Mata go but clearly he isn't Jose's type of player. I think Herrera as a number 10 could well be though.

I don't agree with the earlier post suggestion Blind should be on the 'out' list. Bearing in mind he was bought as a DM who could cover LB also I think he has done a sterling job in central defence. Yes he has been caught out a few times when out muscled by some CFs. However, hasn't Smalling! Blind is a great squad player. With lots of games in Europa and no doubt Jose wanting a good cup run too as he will be keen to taste silverware in every season he is with us I think players like Blind will be invaluable with their versatility.

I also agree this may be more about re-tooling the squad rather than 6/ 7 wholesale changes. At the highest level we are definitely a few players short. With 2 new class CBs and some pace on the right wing though I do think this team could be transformed.

Defence is our priority though, and specifically CB (you have been warned 'Mike'! ) .

Never in a million years will we see that happen. we will finish outside the top 6 if that happened as no one can integrate that many in and out into a team and get them playing decent football quickly.

Good managers know how to get the best out of what you got and buy what is required and seen as your weakness. We have a lot of good players and racing some of the stuff posted you would think we have bunch of league 2 players.

Our academy player not deemed good enough to make the first team seem to make a decent career at other pl teams.

He will but 3 major players a couple that would be seen as squad players and maybe ship out 3.

Guys like Young are in their last year of their contract nd we would get nothing for them at their age so they are more valuable to lee as squad players than go and spend silly money and agent fees on getting the same thing from another player.

I will bet anything he will not sell fellaini and people might be surprised by how often he might use him :)

@Mulam, 'Wouldn't want Benzema near the club, poor Giggsy would be bankrupt in a month. ' made me LOL.
