After reading woodwards comments to investors and jose full interview today, i'm not sure there will be that much transfer business this summer, 2 maybe 3.


1.) 10 Feb 2017

Two or three major signings I would think. Players who are currently in their prime which will cost a few quid.

That will no doubt change depending on departures though - and I think there may be a few.


3.) 10 Feb 2017

I would say we don't need a lot of players. 4 key positions probably imo but maybe 3. Cf cb fb and centre midfield.
I would imagine that there will be am out for every in to help balance the wage bill. 2 high earners left in jan
Is impossible to speculate on outs but players like young and bastian must be at risk due to them hardly playing all season.
It's also possible that some players will push for a move that are unhappy with their role in the squad.

Young bastian darmian are potential outs imo
Looking from the outside in I would imagine rooney blind and to a lesser extent shaw fellaini and smalling are all feeling that they are not first choice for most games. It's been a long time since rooney started a league game will he be happy with that at this stage of his career? especially considering he has won the lot already at United.
Hopefully both shaw and the manager are looking to start on a fresh page next season
Blind is a good player he might prefer to be starting at a lesser club every week than playing a bit part role here. It's world cup year next year and even if his dad is the national team manager he needs to be playing to get a spot in the team and smalling might feel the same.
Fellaini gets a decent amount of game time and appears to be jose's go to man when either chasing or trying to close out a game so he might be happy with that.

Both have said they are happy with the squad and don't see a big turn around in players leaving .
I would guess they will know which players are looking at moving, what contracts they are on etc and have a long term plan .
2 or 3 in with 2 or 3 out imo but you never know.

Jesus ken so 8 maybe leaving?
I agree it will be 1 in 1 out after all it will be a 25 man squad i don't see that many leaving .
I think we have a good squad, something the manager has said time and again .
I don't think it will be big changes this summer just a bit of tweaking, which is more or less what woody told investors

With the exception of martial and shaw there aren't many whispers of players being unhappy and i'm not convinced about them rumours but you never know.

10 Feb 2017 18:47:43
What positions do you see is looking to get players into jred and who do you speculate might leave? Or might want to leave?

Ken
Its hard to say as there are a lot of ifs and buts .
Depay and schinders have left, so there are places at cm and attack .
Bastion really looks like it is just a case of finding a club so along with schniders going you would have to think we will look at cm .
Carrick also hasn't been offered a new contract .
We could maybe do with a right back .
I think we need a cb but does jose?
Young could well leave?

If i had to guess young bastion and carrick to leave .
With a cm, defender and an attacking player coming in .


9.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 19:16:54
Where did I say 8 maybe leaving I said 3 and perhaps if others were to go the players I could see questioning their futures would be those I mentioned above.
Do you think rooney will be badly to sit on the bench every week in the epl?
Blind? I doubt it so they might push for a move imo.
Shaw hopefully not i think that's clear above. Fellaini likewise.


10.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 19:33:51
No idea about rooney and blind, i don't know them, maybe both are happy at the club at the moment might see there contract out and move then .

Rooney seems and has said he is happy at the club maybe he is maybe he is not.
You doubt it, but you have been saying rooney is going to leave for 4 years now .
Blind maybe likes life at united? Just like many other squad players at other clubs .

So which players do you think will leave.


11.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 19:48:00
Other than ddg pogba and ibra which players start each week?


12.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 19:48:24
I reckon on 4 in-central defender, left back, forward and midfielder. Hopefully, Greizman, lindeloff, semedo, another.
Outs, well shaw, young, schweini (end of Contract)? Martial.
Next winter window, if not sooner Rooney and smalling ;probably carrick if nothing happens beforehand. Just my opinion / wishlist.

I have not been saying rooney will leave for 4 years check the history instead of misquoting or just making stuff up. I said I would have preferred if he left 4 years ago. I think we could have done better without him if we had reinvested in a player that would have produced more than him over the last 4 seasons. Saying I would sell him if i was in charge is very different to saying I think he will leave.
I think Bastian young darmian and possibly rooney will leave this summer. Blind may look for a move to enhance his WC hopes i think that will be in his thought process. I would have said fellaini 3 months ago but as I said above Jose seems to like the options be gives and he gets a run most weeks. I think he may well move on as he has won everything and achieved so much I can't see him being happy as a bit part player at the club where he was once top dog.
If we sign a cb which seems less of a priority due to some good form from bailly rojo and Jones in particular I can't see Jose starting the season with 5 so one of smalling or rojo could well leave.
It's hard to know what will happen anybody who is a sub for last few weeks could be a hero before the end of the season. I would definitely put rooney and bastion in that category. Rooney will leave a hero no matter what personally I'd love to see bastian leave the club as a hero also as I've admired him from afar for years.

Ken you have been going on about rooney leaving being sold for years pal .
The rest i agree with to some extent surprised you have changed you mind on fellaini.


15.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 20:29:33
Ken what about martial linders shaw infact all the other squad players will they not want to move or just blind .

Is there any chance rooney is happy at the moment on and off the pitch like he says and has accepted like a lot of players scholes giggs etc that as you get older you play less.
One last year at united maybe a title challeng the call it a day from united and england .
(He will definitely be part of the england squad if fit, he is a major part of it on and off the pitch ) .
He maybe isn't the cancer you think he is?

Ken
What about shaw you said on the live chat it looked like he was on his way.


17.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 20:42:44
Ken
What about.
Only joking, we will see in the summer but i don't think we will be getting rid of as many as people have been wishing for but who knows.


18.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 20:50:12
I doubt he will be in wc squad and I still think we would be better off without him. He contributes little on the pitch albeit with little opportunity lately and is taking high wages.
I have not changed my mind on fellaini but it looks like Jose doesn't agree with me.
I don't think it looks good for shaw but hope he get another chance if he shows the boss enough.

{Ed007's Note - Is this about Rooney's new contract extension again?}


19.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 21:02:01
Yer bond some can't of checked all the pages
.
Ken
Rooney if fit will be in the squad pal, major part of the squad .
You must of changed your mind on fellaini or at least changed your mind on jose wanting to sell him .

So do you think jose wants shot of shaw or not?


20.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 21:10:00
I was thinking more of blind because he seems to get less pitch time than the other you mentioned there.
007 stop stirrimg😀😀😀.

{Ed007's Note - We'll see come the summer..... Rooney wants to extend his deal to take him up until he's 35.}


21.) 10 Feb 2017
10 Feb 2017 21:22:27
And then into his ambassador role ( there is a reason its in hos contract )


22.) 11 Feb 2017
11 Feb 2017 05:45:22
In my opinion, left back is priority. Right back less so. Defensive midfielder. Attacker (greizman) . And a top quality winger.
Anything less will be unacceptable.


23.) 11 Feb 2017
11 Feb 2017 09:59:56
Rooney is likely to reach 35 stone before years :)


24.) 11 Feb 2017
11 Feb 2017 14:25:53
I suspect we'll spend big on a few players and concentrate on quality as opposed to quantity. I can see Griezmann? Lindelof? Semedo? and a defensive midfielder? With several leaving. Darmian, Fellaini? Martial/ Rooney? Schweinsteiger.


25.) 11 Feb 2017
11 Feb 2017 14:24:45
Rooney, Young, Blind, Schweiny, Rojo, Carrick, Martial, Shaw, Mata, Darmian and maybe Smalling.

Busy transfer window ahead I reckon. A lot of players not good enough, not fancied, or will want more game time.

Seems like a very long list at first glance but you could make a case for all of them.

I personally would throw in Fellaini, Lingard as well but they won't go.

{Ed004's Note - I don't know what people expect Woodward and Mourinho to say? If Woodword comes out and says we are going to spend another 150/200 million well then the transfer prices are going to skyrocket even more for us. Additionally if Mourinho comes and out and says half this squad isn't good enough, that's going to have a negative affect on the squad.
I agree with Beast that a lot of players are at risk but disagree with some of the names. I reckon there's a good chance a few of Darmian, Rojo, Blind, Shaw, CBJ, Romero, Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, Januzaj, Young and Rooney could all be departures (think fellaini and Blind will stay and hope Shaw pulls the finger out but he can't even get into the squad vs Watford.
We also have a few areas that apparently Mourimho isn't 100% happy with such as centre backs, will need cover/replacement for Valencia, potentially a left back, one midfielder and atleast one attacker that garuntees 20 goals a season (Griezmann imo)}
