Eds,
If you had to choose arrivals at this stage, who would you put your money on?

{Ed002's Note - Telles.}

We will cock that one up too Ed 😂. In all seriousness I hope he’s a decent signing, I’ve not seen him before.

{Ed002's Note - He is very good, no youngster and perhaps not the priority.

Telles i hope is a good signing. It will give us a real threat from the left on an attacking sense. i'm not sure how good he is defencively.

As i have previously said, i don't understand your love affair with Sancho when your defence needs sorting out
You have good ample options up front
What will turn you into contenders is how good you are at the back. Sancho will not turn you into title contenders unless the defence has been sorted. He will do no more than what Greenwood will do
You all know how long it's taken us but Klopp took his time to get the right people in the right places
Get that back line sorted, maybe 1 or 2 to bolster the midfield, a few out the door and i think you will be seriously in a position to challenge.

What will turn us into contenders is a good CB partner for Maguire, a LB who isn’t injured and can use their left foot, a DM player so Pogba isn’t deep losing the ball and a CF who can give us something different. A RW is not the most important place but nice to have. Goes without saying a manager who knows what they are doing.

Also helps not having clowns dealing with football matters.


Everyone admits ole isn't the man dor the job but no manager will untill he is surrounded by people who are also fot for purpose in theor job role.


Every manager under the current structure has failed and will continue to fail.

With the right tactical acumen a player like Alex Telles could have a much bigger impact than someone like Jadon Sancho.

Rd, United don't work on a round hole round peg way of dealing with transfers. The money men look at what a player may be worth to the commercial side. As long as our owners are making money, they do not seem capable of buying the right player. OK some exceptions.

Shappy, I agree with that.

Telles brings goals from defence, it's not unrealistic to say he could chip in with 10 in all comps, plus a handful of assists.

Telles adds more threat down the left as well, which will open things up for Bruno.

If Sancho replaces Greenwood, we take out Greenwood's goals, and I think Greenwood scores more than Sancho if they're both given the same opportunities.

The only player have on the right wing is a 18 year old striker so yes I'd say one was essential.

Sancho's arrival will not kill Greenwood, It'll be good competition for both Martial and Sancho. There are way too many games this season, we need class players on the bench in every game. There will be injuries. Every good player is welcomed. As a matter of fact, we should have tried to get 1-2 players above the age of 27-28. But if it's just Telles, i would be worried, if it's Sancho and Telles then I'll be very satisfied. The optimal ins will be Telles, Sancho and a mature striker.

Completely agree Ziko. Good post that.

Il add a pacey CB to that list as well Ziko.

TrueRedDevil, don't get me started on who I want on the list 😂 I'm afraid CB not happening this window. I still think we lack a quality striker and a CM/ DM (oh how I wish we get Saul) and a CB (I'm not convinced that Upamecano is the right one) . If we get Sancho and the season goes well, next summer a CB and a CM/ DM should be the priority to build on this season. I don't know what will happen if Sancho doesn't come though.3 days to go.
