Dont be surprised if we have announced another stellar signing by this time next week. The player has already been spoken about, and actually I gave insight on a post a year or so ago of a deal being close then, but was crushed by C.V. Ironically that's saved us a ton of money on this transfer too, just as I stated last year about Sancho. Players wages are literally half what has been claimed, so terms will not be the barrier. It will be down to the player to prove he wants Man U for the project not the cash. This one will make a lot of posters very happy, but let's remember we have won nothing yet, so looking contenders on paper is exactly that.

I was thinking of posting a message tipping my hat to you Cheshire . I remember you saying that this C.V. isn’t going away for a year and we are keeping our powder dry. Looks like that was a smart move. Yes, we could have had a better cup or champions league run but we have put ourselves in a strong position this year.

I just hope the player you mentioned is Saul.

If we do, then Glazers are really digging deep into their pockets. Trying to please the rioting fan base i guess and in doing so creating a really strong team.

To compete you need to have a squad that is strong enough to do so. We have a lot of mediocre players, who are slowly being shipped out.

It does feel as though the club are moving in the right direction, are at least have taken a long stride.

If Pogba or VDB go and another CM is signed, will Matic be here as Fred and McTo, Perriera will be in the squad. At the very least one would have to be sold. We need to reduce our wage expenditure. That may be helped if Jones is released and or a loan deal happens for Tuanzebe.

Obviously I know nothing of the above -interesting reading, but one thing i'm so happy about is that we have bought first team starters so far, none of this "decent squad player " nonsense of recent years, stockpiling players who would not get in any other top 4 team.

Pointless going over the names again but we can all name 4-5 players on high wages we need to ship out as a result of poor buying in recent times. Credit where its due Varane and Sancho are top quality so well done so far the United transfer team!

A midfield of Fernandes, Pogba (for a season) and Saul would be very exciting.

What is being said here? Don't be surprised if we've signed a player next week,? Why would I its the transfer season! Name it or its nonsense. the under 18"s might sign a prospect I suppose? . 🙄.

CheshireRed has a history Tom. He gave some informations last year that i truly appreciate.
We didn't signed the players but he said (and I believed that too) that we keep the money for next (this) year and then we will sign good players. As we did.

If you check OP’s post history, it appears to be Saul. Not sure why he didn’t just say who it was in the first place though, unless he doesn’t want to commit and is just hoping that we’ll be signing somebody else soon.

I believe Cheshire meant Saul or SMS.

It would also mean Pogba may leave. Don't mind if we sell him.
We'll be a laughing stock allowing the same player to go on a free twice after smashing the world record fee to get him.

To be fair, reading the older post, Saul was seen as a Matic replacement, and a upgrade to Fred. So may not require Pogba to leave.

If signing saul is dependant on selling pogba. i don't see it happening. Have a feeling pp will stay with us.

Yes WRD i saw that. i'm just not holding my breath for PP to leave this summer. i'd love to sign saul regardless of the PP situation.

I am not going to name the player for a reason I will happily explain later, whether the deal comes off this week and even if it doesn't. It would not be smart to give all the details right now.

There are lots of moving parts in a transfer and things can change in even the best laid plans.

It is only 2 years ago I was defending the club as having a clear plan when many said it did not exist.

Yes I said we would sign Sancho this summer for way less money and that Dortmund would have to sell. In fact, I did say that dortmund had lost around £35m. That number might make some sense now.

We do have to agree sole player exits in the next 4 weeks. The expectation is to generate at least £55m in player sales, plus simultaneously moving £400k+ per week from the wage bill.

We will sign Trippier if and only if Atletico accept Man Utd commercial logic of a player who is in their final year and turns 31 during the season. £13m plus achievable add ons, but I wouldn't be surprised if after player sales we went upto £15m upfront, but only if we achieve one deal in particular outgojng.

On Kane, he is not a part of the roadmap. United admire him, however, we have already made very firm plans to sign Haaland. It has been made absolutely clear to Dortmund, his father and Alf-Inge that the coaches, the directors and the board want him to lead the line for the next decade.

Of course, that could change, you never know in football. For example, the 'plan' for a centre back was to go all out for Upamecano, but we buggered it up by losing to Leipzig so he stayed in the Champions League and we dropped to the Europa and as we then saw he moved subsequently to Bayern. Who is to say he wouldn't have gone to Bayern anyway.

We were to sign Grealish the season end before last, but he went and scored to stay in the Premier and got a new contract instead.

Nothing is 100%, but some things are. Such as, next year we will sign a striker and we will sign a DM and another centre back. However, if Dortmund go out of the Champions League in the group stages, you can expect Utd, if through the group stages to go all out to sign Haaland in January, especially if Utd are fighting for the title at the same time.

As always our signings will depend on what happens on the pitch.

We were always signing Sancho, we were not signing Varane but I for one am in hindsight delighted the original plan went to pot. Sometimes it goes in your favour.

However, if we crash and burn this season, we will not get the DM or the striker we want, because players and agents have to believe in the direction of the club. The pressure is now on to do better again. I for one think we will do so, only time will tell.

We should not forget we have some serious talent rising from the under 23s. Someone else is going to force a change to those plans this season, the exciting thing is we just do not know who as yet.

I will post on Sunday unless the deal is still possible but dragging on.
