    Being a ball-carrying left footed defender, im sure that Vertonghen has overs all over the place

    We've probably got Milner in a 24/7 mentoring scheme with Elliott and that's owing to the fact he's Messi's regen. Ain't nobody got the energy nor time to spend beating the cunt out of that humongous Norwich retard on top of that.

    Cantwell to Leeds feels like a good fit to me. He can run around a lot and be a knobhead with shit hair.

    Where the sweet fuck are Fraser and Zaha planning on going if their move to Utd falls through? Is it an Everton ting?

    There aren't going to be many half-decent bids flying around this summer. Other than from United by the sounds of it.

    Other than fulfilling a 'nice-to-have' requirement I'm really not sure why United would want (all of) Sancho, Grealish and the dutch chap for £200m when they already have pretty decent options in that area of the pitch. Are they just replacements for the likes of Sanchez, Mata (is he still there?) and whoever else might be leaving? Centre-half, left-back and someone less shit than Matic as the pivot or whatever that role is called would seem a more sensible way to spend a fuckton of cash
    We DESPERATELY need creative options for the centre. If either of Pogba or Fernandes get injured or have a poor run of form it's back to fucking Pereira, Lingard, Mata etc.

    Matic has been good since the restart but he doesn't have the legs for it. I guess the hope is that McTominay and Fred could provide sufficient cover until next year.

    We're after a centre back. Upamecano on loan with obligation to buy is apparently something we're looking into. Shaw/Williams are fine.

    Romano saying Willian likely going to Arsenal. Presumably on a three year contract given the reason he's leaving Chelsea is that they only offered him two.

    Even though he's been one of their better players since the restart they probably don't actually need him seeing as they are buying all the wide forwards/attacking midfielders in creation (and already have a fair few there).

    Sky Sports guy James Cooper (someone noteable? Dunno) reckons they will go for Sancho, a centre back, and a creative midfielder, but that they can't spend much money...

    Presumably Grealish wants to be a guaranteed starter if he leaves so can't see where he'd fit at United.

    United's attack is going to be absolutely shit hot. The rest of the side not so much, but at least the games won't be horrendous to watch like the majority of the past seven years.

    It never really works like that. From years of bitter experience being an 'exciting attacking team' mostly just ends up with seething anger when you get nil-nil'd by some shitehawks at home or constantly rolled by anyone who can defend/score from a corner.

    He looks good, although it can be hard to tell when most of his games that I've seen have been against Championship level sides (be it for England in the various age groups or Dortmund).

    He's better than Dan James.

    What's this Ferran Torres chap City are signing like? I've heard of him but he falls into the never really seen him play category for me.

    Why is everyone who needs a new defence signing attackers?

    There is also keen interest in Newcastle from American businessman Henry Mauriss, who is willing to offer £350m for the club, who finished 13th in the Premier League standings.
    A new conman approaches.

    If he loves fish and chips is there not a risk he will become a fat player like Luke Shaw and slow at running? I would rather he was eyeing up the menu of a salad bar. Very worried United fan here.

    Sheffield United interested in Phil Jones.

    Offer from a Spanish club for Dalot.

    United will make a low-ball offer for Ake with Bournemouth being relegated.

    Sanchez has agreed a significant wage cut to go to Inter. If a fee is agreed with Utd he'll go.

    Is there any special reason Solskjaer doesn't like Dalot?

    I mean I know that having more than one competent right back seems to be against club policy in recent years but I don't really see the issue and I'd have thought he could have done a bit on the wing recently rather than driving the same eleven players into the town.

    Just because a fullback doesn't score own goals doesn't make them competent, that is ultimately a more extreme fallacy which has seen AWB make a name as a high quality RB. Dalot was always going to amount to fuck all, you don't fucking sign quality players from the Portuguese league any more and if you do, it's after Wolves have had a go.

    Has Coutinho ever played as a traditional 10? He never really did for Liverpool other than maybe during his somewhat ill-fated 'fab 4' days. Started out on the side of a diamond and for most of Klopp's time played on the left of 3. Agree the role is being somewhat eradicated in the modern game.

    Surely United just let Sanchez go for free and get him off the wage bill.

    You try and squeeze out 10m and you end up stuck all next season like Bale at Real.

    Are Inter owned by China now (or some other idiots) rather that insane Moratti guy? Can't imagine he'd be buying into any sort of deal where money went out of the club in United's direction for Sanchez.

    Glad to hear the breed isn't dying out entirely.

    Is that former Leeds guy still going (at Brescia???) or is he in prison now? Cellino?
