Should be looking at De Ligt too. Maybe he’s a bit young to play regularly for us yet though

£90m for a 27 year old CB? There's only one club in the world daft enough to pay it and that's us.

Frenkie will have better offers than us too. No chance of that happening. Barca, PSG n City all interested so they say. Can't imagine he'd come to us with the current set up at the club.

I think we might get kumbya my lord, but for a huge price. That’s a possibility and he’s a very good player.

I’ll be amazed if de jong decides to join us, for the reasons Eric outlines..

Koulibaly is an absolute beast. Has everything. Yes it is a huge price however if you can get 5 yrs or so and he massively improves our defence then it's money well spent especially with the money we have. We still need 2 cbs, cm, right winger and forward IMO

I have only seen him about 2/3 times so can't really form a proper opinion.

No other club would pay £90m for him though I'm fairly certain on that. Absolutely no chance. That should say everything really.

I also don't want Mourinho getting another fiver let alone £90m.

if he can have the same impact for us that Van Dijk had for Liverpool.

what impact do you say that is?

Their defensive record is a lot better now since he joined..

That's if Jose goes... If he stays you could be adding a left winger, goal keeper and another couple of midfielders due to people not renewing or wanting out

At 27 years old you could comfortably get 6 or 7 top class seasons out of him.

Chiellini is 34, Godin and Ramos are about to turn 33. That’s three of the top ten CBs in world football right there.

Liverpool have gone from having a laughable back 5 to the best in the division for me.

Alisson is up there among the best keepers in the league, Trent n Robertson are very good fullbacks Van Dijk is excellent, Gomez looks a class act.

They are now the full shilling sadly. However I think their midfield is still very average and a long way behind City's. I reckon this will ultimately be their downfall this season.

Quite possibly. However it's still a huge amount of money for a CB. Especially one that isn't used to the PL.

I don't want anymore signings under Jose anyway. He's had enough money and time.

Would happily pay £90m for a 27 year old CB if he makes a significant impact.

posted on 9/12/18

People make out 27 for a centre back is old.. basically coming into his best years..

He looks top class I'd love him at Liverpool.

posted on 9/12/18

God I’d love De Jong. He is gonna be bonafide world class. The way he glides past people in the midfield like Moussa Dembele on steroids. But also he has incredible quality on the ball.

What a player and if Man City get him or Ndombele I’ll be depressed for months.

posted on 9/12/18

We should try get him and ndombele and partner them with Pogba.. partner them with Fred if Pogba leaves..

posted on 9/12/18

If Martial was to leave, i'd take a punt on Richarlison or Felipe Anderson.

Pogba's replacement Milinkovic-Savic.

DDG - tough one

Oblak for DDG. Anyone but bloody Pickford mind

Don't see what people see in milinkovic Savic...would rather see a quality passer of the ball in the mould of Kroos along with someone like Ndombele

Would be gutted if Martial left....maybe rashford could hold that place down eventually

Agree about milinkovic-savic... Don't see anything special about him at all.

Kroos would be wasted at united in our current state, he needs runners and movement which isn't really our strong point

PSG are offering 75 million euro, de Jong will probably choose them over your shower.

I don't think he'll want to go from one schit league to another schit league. United, City and Madrid are the only other clubs who can afford him and City have already pulled out of deals for being too expensive.

Whether people like it or not, Manchester United football club can still attract the best players and have done for the last 6 years we've been schit.
