Hi guys

All this talk about getting back up there to the top and etc, being the best again and importantly world class is not out of reach surely.

If we signed a total of 5 players i think it would be complete, here is eho i think would do it:

2 cb Varane and Marquinhos cost = £70-80m
1 cm Pogba = £60-70m if value right
1 rw Griezman = £45m
1 cf Ibrahimovich if we can tempt = free

Total spend £195m but that goes down if you take into account money from sales of few surplus stock!

Ed's is such an undertaking so impossible to really get us firing on all cylinders again?

Thanks.

And who is saying they want to come.

Griezmann would cost more than that, Pogba wants a move to Barcelona apparently, would love Marquinhos and Varane but can't force their clubs to sell, especially Real. their fax might break, and there's no guarantees the players would come to us when they are at clubs with CL football next season

Nice to dream though.

That would be an ideal window Cypriotenglish.

I think the numbers are off though, did Chelsea not reportedly have a 40 million bid rejected for Marquinhos? Would they both settle straight away and is that partnership a little young?

I also think Athletico value Greizmann between to 60-80 million mark now. Correct or not, they see him as one of the best 3 in the world. He doesn't want to leave (apparently)

I have a feeling we may go for Pogba. I think that and 1 CB would make us title contenders. Anything above that is a bonus.

I think with Blind and Mata been deemed surplus something is going on in the background regarding incomings, hopefully something we hear about shortly.

There are at least 4 parties that have to agree for a transfer to take place - the buying and selling clubs, the player and regrettably, the agent. So I agree with the comment above that whilst the listed players would be extremely welcome at Utd, it unfortunately unlikely that most (or indeed any) of them will be wearing our shirt next season. Competition will be fierce for them. Tbh, why should some of them move from their present clubs? Money talks, but it's only one factor.

There is great merit in developing your youth players, since they often show a greater allegiance. We may not have the class of 92 yet but several youngsters are showing great promise. They do need to be encouraged. For example, how will Ashley Fletcher develop? 2 goals in the play-offs, well taken, exhibit real talent.

Didn't Nick Powell score the winner in the play offs not a great yardstick. I hope fletch does better than him.
