    Eriksen would be a cracking signing for anyone in the Premier League, but I think Levy would want too much. He's much more likely to go for a more reasonable (non-insane) amount once the English window has shut.

    You don't reckon wanting Bruno Fernandes themselves would convince them to get the easy cash from Utd to then use to bring in BF?

    Just curious though I doubt Spurs are penny pinching like that anyways.

    I guess someone on Sky has said United are done in the transfer window.

    I sure hope Fred has a stellar 2nd season, then.

    I don't think that's how Spurs work. To make it work they'd want £100m for Eriksen and to bring in a replacement for half that, at most, and I'm not sure either of those things will happen. Bruno Fernandes would be a good replacement for Alli if they were looking for one.

    I hope Bruno comes for that exact reason, because Dele needs to be smacked around a bit, but he probably won't. It's been a shit window all things considered. Just one player in, fantastic. Sessegnon might be coming which would be fine but doesn't really touch on any of the problem areas

    Erikson has a year left on his deal I think.

    Did Madrid not want Eriksen? I thought I'd read loads of crying about him being packed up to go before the CL final. Or was that only a backup if they didn't land Hazard?

    Has he ever been as close to as good as Modric? Granted he does some good highlight stuff but outside that he just strolls around looking like he doesn't want to play the game at all. Modric ran games.

    Before he started sulking he had impressive stats all round.

    We've almost reached the point (if we haven't already) where transfer fees for English clubs are almost irrelevant. If Utd are capitalising that fee over 5 years (is that the length of his contract?) then it won't even touch the sides.

    6 with an option for another.

    I've not seen anything about wages, hopefully he's on ridiculous money.

    I hope he is too considering there's no reason he shouldn't be paid handsomely.

    Man Utd generate what a billion + in revenue so let the players get their fair share of the ramen noodle money like idk... it's not my money so why not.

    He's not reported to be on anything THAT ridiculous, think I read 190k.

    The Italian journalists are still pushing the narrative that the Dybala deal isn't completely off. I really don't understand why we seemingly aren't in for Bruno Fernandes though, unless the Eriksen stuff is real.

    If the window ends without any more signings then we've fixed the defence but midfield is PAINFULLY thin.

    Neal Maupay for £20m?

    At least he's not come from the Eredivisie, I guess. Beyond that I have no idea. Any good?

    I have no idea about the rest of them, but Greenwood looks like a legitimate freak. If he doesn't make it they might as well all give up, and I would be tempted to just chuck him straight into the first team and see what happens.

    Brentford fans I know like him, but they are a strange and evangelical lot.

    Seems to have really quick feet and is a great finisher.

    Both his goals this pre-season were great.

    He’s a nasty bastard.


    What’s the latest with Pogba? My fantasy season depends on him.

    He's ridiculously ambi...footstrous? as well, to the point he takes set pieces with either foot.

    Did we not have all this under LvG? Young kid given a chance, United fans cream their knickers, next Class of 92, next Busby Babes etc until reality sets in.

    Most of those who got given the opportunity failed to make the grade and now ply their trade in the lower leagues. Rashford is the only first teamer and that's more to do with Man United not having anyone better as opposed to him being 'that' good, because he's not. He's made to look better by default of United looking predominately shit.

    Not really, he only looks good because he breaks into a sprint now and again as it surely can't be for his goal return.

    It's not a clean phrase, but it means what you were trying to convey and consists of real words properly applied.

    That's not to say any of this batch will not turn out well (like Rashford and Lingaard) but it's fair to say a batch came through last time and the majority didn't cut the mustard.

    Er.

    Tuanzebe is in the first team squad this season. He's barely featured for us and has been on loan for years. A bit early to write him off.
    Blacket was always crap, most United fans thought so.
    McNair I'll give you. I thought he'd make it.
    Donald Love played 1 league game.
    Borthwick-Jackson was a weird one. He never looked particularly good other than being able to cross a ball. Not sure many United fans were particularly excited about him, but he did an okay job when he filled in.
    Fosu-Mensah had raw talent, but was thick. A lot of United fans overrated him and did get a bit giddy over him.

    2/6 isn't bad I guess.
