“I don’t want to sell players. The club and the board is totally with me, but as I said before, if a player is not having lots of minutes and really wants to leave, we have no right to stoo them " jose
cant see a lot of action this transfer window maybe only morgan out.

I think Morgan and Depay will be the two, maybe a loan or two as well. Potentially TFM and Rashford short term with option to recall, (especially if the Berbatov rumour has any legs) .
I doubt we will sign anybody, maybe James Rodriguez if we want to make another statement but I just don't know where he fits!

Depay and Morgan could be loaned as well to help raise their value again for a sale in the summer, who knows?!

Mourinho also stated that the club won't entertain loan deals other than for Johnstone. Obviously this could just be strategic talk.
I can see Deepay, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger being sold and I think we could cover that without any buys so then anyone coming in would be a bonus.

I think he's saying "make a sensible offer and we'll accept it"

Beast,
Berbatov rumours? He was only just good enough to play for us at his peak, he's just training with the team by all accounts, won't be signing for us and not heard any mention of that being the case anyway.

GDS2 - On the main rumours page it's mentioned. I obviously haven't seen him lately and can't see it myself, but IF he does come on board for whatever reason it would make sense to loan out Rashford imo, (young potential rotting is a real hate of mine) .

I repeat what I said about Berbatov on here years ago. Drops off to recycle the ball enabling the opposition defensive line to push up especially as Berb had no pace to run behind. Nowadays that will cause us even more problems than it did a few years ago. Exchange the pace of Rashford for Berbatov should not be considered not even if Beast says it is a rumour.

Red Man wasn't this the same line that was being repetitively used for a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Hasn't done too bad, has he? Just saying. If you need pace, play Usain Bolt.

Zlatan is more direct than Berbatov who seemed to prefer dropping off and the Swede has continued to keep his standard of fitness, sharpness in his play at the highest level.
In the modern game pace is something that makes a difference particularly in a forward. I would be concerned if Berbatov is given a contract then becomes the option should Zlatan get injured.

Red Man - I say it's a rumour because on the "Rumours" page somebody has put it up there as something they have heard. Not sure what constitutes a 'rumour' in your book, but as we all frequent these pages on a regular basis and "rumour" is in the title, it kind of fills the criteria for me!

Let's just say my point was that I would not be happy with your rumour, in particular the loaning out of Rashford.
