So less than 2 weeks before Chelsea and the rumours continue, new ones and old ones dragging through the whole summer, so here's my ratings for the likelihood of possible transfers in and out
McGuire 8/10, this has ranged for me from 6/10 upto pretty much 9/10 over the past few weeks, still think Leicester will crack and we will get him before season starts, weather hes worth it or not is another matter but he should improve the defence
Fernandes 7/10, this is another which has dragged with every day being the day he finally signs, i personally think it may be him and McGuire or Defo at least one of them
Dybala 3/10, well this actually really seems like a football manager transfer, yes yes his agent is apparently in london but cant see this one happening
Savic 4/10, maybe an option if we dont get fernandes but price quoted still seems lofty(I know when has that ever mattered with us)
Lukaku 9/10, good as gone imo, no pre season games and clearly not wanted
Pogba 6/10, maybe Madrid get more desperate with the injury to assensio and their rubbish pre season, rumours of a massive bid and personally dont believe he'll fight to stay
Darmian 7/10, another rumoured on his way out, again not much if any pre season points to him gone
Likelihood of possible transfers

Can’t see us getting Fernandes. We have been linked with him for that long makes me think we now are not interested and it’s simply paper talk.
Maguire 50/50 for me
Dybala I’m not convinced at all. Think he will stay with Juve
Lukaku I think will go to inter
Not sure who else but we need to get rid of a couple of players to make room

Didn't you just say on another thread that you think you will get Fernandes?

Maguire: 50/50
Fernandes: 20/80
Dybala: 70/30
I was skeptical about Dybala but there are so many Tier 1s (the Simons and Kristof Terreur) saying it's on the cards, I'm starting to think there's just too much smoke to ignore or disregard this.

Maguire 60/40
Pogba 50/50
And because of that:
Fernandes/savic 50/50
We need to punt pogba before any of the midfielders come, I think that’s what’s holding that up. If real have bid 145m, take it Ed.

Just the 9 days of the window left and you've signed two youth prospects.
Hardly the overhaul that was required, not to mention another year in the legs of Matic, Young etc. Needs to be a big 9 days for United if they want to get back into the CL imo.

A lot hinges on the outgoing players.
If Pogba goes, Fernandes look a cert (though I would hope we at least try and put a bid in for Eriksen). I personally think that if Real come in for Pogba, we should get a loan deal for Bale too (with subsidised wages).
Lukaku seems a cert to leave, so a new forward will be very likely unless Ole has total faith in the young guns.
We then need to shift on Darmian and maybe another to accommodate any other signings.

AWB isn’t a youth prospect. He walks straight into our starting eleven as one of the most impressive and effective fullbacks in the PL last season. As such, Young is demoted to the bench.
And James will get starts.
Ole is building a squad for the future. Hopefully this is the end of doing the kind of transfer business you are talking about, where we try to buy half a new ready-made first team every six months and end up with the likes of Falcão, Di Maria, Mkhitaryan and Sanchez.

What does that year do to the abundance of talented youngsters we have?
