Hjumland definitely not I think. Amorim is clear that we need pace in the middle. Hjumland is a super player but is quite slow. Can't see us getting 2 keepers in and shipping 2 out either. Shaw loan isn't sensible either imo. Remainder of your list 12days is plausible I think.

I think we will bring a forward in and a CM, but we may be getting 3rd or 4th choices. I agree with the outs, hopefully they won't be last minute.

Ins:

Lammens.

Outs:

Antony - another loan, followed by another again the following season, simply because nobody will pay what United want.
Sancho - Juve.
Malacia - another loan, then off on a free next summer.
Bayindir - Turkey.
Amass - loan to another EPL team.
Kone - loan abroad.
Moorhouse - loan to a Championship team.
Biancheri - loan to Championship/ Lg1 team.

Ideally would have liked to have brought in

Ins summer 25
Lammens
Vanderson
Helland
Guerra
Sesko

Out
- Either 1 of Onana or Bayindyr on loan with remaining as 2nd choice behind Lammens
- Dalot - doesn’t fit system as either right sided centre back or right wing back and would bring decent profit and allow for player in vanderson to compete and develop with Amad / Mbuemo in right side of team
- Casemiro - behind ugarte, Mainoo and possibly Collyer and Kone
- Antony, sancho and Garnacho out asap
- Hojland. Sadly he just isn’t up to it and with his lack of composure in front of goal, too chances created would go missing: having spent £130m on extra creativity this summer not bringing in a clinical finisher (or 2 if club could move on zirkzee) too would be poor
- Zirkzee as above
- malarcia. Isn’t up to it. Poor signing from day 1. Typical of that period. Behind dorgu, Leon, shaw for left wing back position

I’d move on Martinez too once fit - despite injury record would command a reasonable fee and would prefer an Ignacio type if another left sided centre back was needed depending on how Heaven and kuckonki develop over the next 6-12 months.

I think we will sign:

Lammens
Jackson

I think Garnacho will hold out for a move to Chelsea and that will force our hand to sign Jackson rather than Watkins (who I think is the better option) . Also Villa are reluctant to sell Watkins, yes they need to sell someone to keep within PSR, but selling Watkins would force them to have to sign another striker (which isn't easy or cheap) . Which makes me think they will be less likely to bring down their asking price.
Whereas Chelsea have already got their striker signings done and Jackson is surplus to requirements, meaning there might be more scope for negotiation of the asking price.

While I'd ideally like to see us signing a midfielder, I don't see us being able to raise the funds to do so. Realistically we had Rashford and Garnacho as the big assets to sell and raise funds. Money from Sancho and Antony doesn't really raise much if anything due to the outstanding cost we have on them.

With Rashford only leaving on loan that means the majority of the money we will have left to spend will come from the Garnacho sale. Which will probably have to be used entirely on signing a striker, leaving little to nothing left to sign a midfielder as well.

While, I also think we would ideally need to see a midfielder leave to make space. With Bruno, Casemiro, Mainoo, Ugarte and Collyer giving us 5 options for two positions, I don't think a 6th option is needed given the reduced number of games and travelling we will have this season.

In an ideal world Casemiro and his large wages would leave, and we would bring in a replacement. However, that doesn't look likely until next summer.

My perfect signing for midfield would be Carlos Baleba, but his cost will be huge and probably not possible for us. Lucien Agoumé at Sevilla could be an excellent, high potential but much cheaper alternative.

The problem is letting Cass leave, even with his weary legs, he still the best midfielder we got by a country mile, if only playing one game a week and if we don’t sign a midfielder Cass will start the majority of games, apart from Bruno in midfield. he is the most experienced we have the best finisher the best passer best with his head too…. He only goes if we sign a more energetic midfielder with better legs better passing ability and more mobile, no one comes near to him currently in our squad.
Dalot is going nowhere he starts nearly all games at RWB.
