I really don't know enough about players from overseas that would improve us other than the obvious ones we see regularly on TV. Players who probably wouldn't want to join United at this point in time.

It should be the job of our scouting team to identify these players.

I do think we shouldn't be averse to looking at the Championship for players though. I think Ben Brereton Diaz is another from there that'd offer something in an attacking sense. I also think (and it helps keep up the Wales quota at the club ) that Ethan Ampadu is a young player who could offer us something in DM/CB. An aggressive player not afraid to get stuck in who is pretty comfortable on the ball.

Sorry for not really playing the game!

To be honest our man Murtough wouldn’t even need to open an account. Just follow our man Robbsie. He does most of his work for him.

25m spoken for with Rabiot and Arnautovic.

Loan for Icardi seems like it could be done.
De Jong now he's being sued by Barca looks more likely imo 75
Hateboer 15 -20
A loan now buy later for Asensio. Last year of his deal so could be done.

Just been looking at Lamptey vs Aarons across their careers on FBref.

Remarkably similar figures, with Lamptey shading Aarons in terms of attacking contributions and Aarons shading Lamptey in passing (particularly progressive passes).

Interest has been ended in Arnautovic, and Rabiot is yet to sign.

Interesting choices. Hateboer I haven’t seen much of but he’s an Dutch international, isn’t he?

Top targets for a striker should be:

Higuain, Mandzukic, Immobile, Arnautovic, Dzeko, Aduriz, Di Natale, Hulk, Bacca, Gignac.

All proven goalscorers and would bring the experience needed to lead the line and help the younger players.

Immobile would be just the player we need for our static front line.

No movement on that transfer yet.

Toney, Frenkie, KWP would be good fits for you. If frenkie can't get done than Bennacer would be a good alternative.

Just signing players who are good at passing is a good starting point

Yeah but having Martinez and Lamptey in a back 4 would be a laugh

You've already got immobile, except he calls himself Harry Maguire.

You’d have to choose between Toney and KWP. Each would reportedly cost around £40m.

Neves - £50m
Tammy Abraham - £40m (?)
Some right back - £30m

posted on 9/8/22

Alvaro Morata has been mentioned today.

For the right price I actually wouldn't be against this one. Not an elite goalscorer but technically sound. I'd have preferred him to Lukaku in 2017 if I'm being honest.

iirc Bennacer has a €50m release clause so can squeeze all three in if you fudge the numbers a bit

Already nervous about the Malacia - Martinez on the back post whenever they start together. Imagine Lamptey in there too

I’d sign 12 players for £10m each. Don’t care who they are.

De Gea's aerial domination will help with that. Oh...

Following the Pogba ‘buyback strategy’, for £120m you could probably bring in:

James
Fellaini
Rojo
Ighalo
CBJ
Wilson
TFM
Varela
Cleverley
Welbeck
Powell
Bebe

But you are forgetting our ace card. if we play Maguire his head is so large it has its own gravitational pull so all high balls will gravitate to his noggin. With that covered we could probably start Peter Dinklage at RB.

Incidentally, I did see that Derby picked up 12 players on a free this transfer window. Don’t recall ever seeing that.

A blessing in disguise if that deal is over.

He is, i've not seen much either but seen a few Atalanta games and he's always impressed.

Koopmeiners is another for them, excellent dutch DM.

de Jong - £65m
Tielemans - £25m
Isak - £35

Going to go over budget a little but I’ll sell AWB
