Imagine If the Schweinsteiger rumour is true. that would be him, deepay and darmien done. If we could possibly finalise Schneiderlin and Otemandi by midweek to join the tour.
That would be a very good window so far. Would allow us to spend the next 6 weeks chasing a.new striker and/or one big marquee signing that we have been mooting recently.

11 Jul 2015 02:02:17
With Van Gaal in charge he will no doubt get the best out of him with the big hoofs up to Fellaini and the game will just bypass the midfield, pointless signing really.

{Ed007's Note - Gee mate, who stole the jam out your doughnut?}

10 Jul 2015 21:22:13
Bild reporting schweinsteiger has signed and wish him luck

10 Jul 2015 20:27:16
So all things quiet on the Ramos front. No surprise there but no news on either Otamendi or Schneiderlin either? So much for getting everyone in pre tour :(

10 Jul 2015 18:54:14
With new signings coming in and potential new signings who do you think will be the first 11 next season? Will all of our new signings go into the first team? I think but mainly hope we'll finish the summer with depay, darmian, schneiderlin, otamendi and a forward like muller. It's a dream summer but not too unrealistic.
I think if these come in we'll play 433 with valdes in net. Darmian, smalling, otamendi, shaw in defence. Schneiderlin, Herrera and mata/carrick in midfield. The front 3 will mainly be depay/di Maria, Rooney and muller(or other player to come in)

10 Jul 2015 19:34:09
Would b a great summer although i hope and expect Schweinsteiger to sign. Same starting XI except Schweinsteiger at number 6 Herrera at 8 and Mata at 10

10 Jul 2015 19:55:01
keep dreaming mate#!

10 Jul 2015 22:54:37
Ahem cough cough looks like schweni signed

10 Jul 2015 16:17:02
I just get the feeling that Adidas have got more to do with the lack of Stella signings than first meets the eye. If they are coming up with the money they don't want them to be photographed wearing another brand. I expect big things when we change strips

10 Jul 2015 16:38:25
Its something to think about yes. But why would they ruin pre season and getting used to each other for that?
Last season everyone saw what happened with no real pre season with regards to signings. Look at the first game against swansea a few of them either got shipped out or didn't play much part all season.

10 Jul 2015 16:42:50
Yeah a few of us have been saying this over the past few weeks. 1st of August apparently is when it all changes, hardly a good pre-season and not in the interests of Adidas or us. How many people do they think are bothered about these press conferences?!

How ill-informed is LVG if this is the case as well, I'd be going nuts if I were him.

Have them wearing non-descript tops for the conferences if it's that important, they will be wearing Adidas every game they play which is when people watch and the shirts people will buy. Too much credence given to this whole malarkey, pathetic Diva type attitude ruining the game and wrecking our pre-season.

10 Jul 2015 17:09:55
If that was the case we wouldn't have announced depay or potentially announce darmian, I don't think it matters whatsoever. that's almost like saying now that you've signed for UTD you can only wear adidas boots while you play here.

I'm sure adidas were well aware that signing on August 1st could mean potential signings might wear the Nike gear.

I'd be more disappointed with whoever thought it was a good idea to let nikes deal run till August 1st.

10 Jul 2015 17:23:12
If LVG demanded and got changes to our American tour I hardly see him standing for something like this

10 Jul 2015 18:36:03
Maybe it was a compromise Bilko!
Can't see us waiting on purpose though.

10 Jul 2015 19:02:41
Could be Brendan but hard to see him compromising over something like that .

10 Jul 2015 19:57:43
Do Stella signings have to come from Belgium ?

10 Jul 2015 20:03:52
Stella signings is that Stella Artois or Stella Cox or Stella McCartney???

10 Jul 2015 20:40:24
It would seem strange but I guess when your pumping in £700 million u may have a few demands. I'd imagine if that was the case they would just want the stellar signing done after 1st of August

10 Jul 2015 20:40:52
Will you be buying a new strip Kloot? I thought you hated the replica shirts?

Also I don't buy into this rumour that Adidas don't want us to to sign a player as they won't be displayed in their kit if they sign now. Surely the club would rather ensure they have a signing rather than wait 3 weeks and potentially lose out on them? For example if 2 or 3 teams are in for a player and we want to wait 3 weeks because of a kit deal, it's unlikely we'd sign that player IMO because they'd say clearly you aren't that desperate to sign me?

Also aren't we playing in the USA in our kit from last season? Our whole squad will be wearing that if we are. In that case surely there's more publicity showing our old kit because we have 4 games being covered as well as thousands of fans watching us than the publicity for a player such as Schneiderlin being signed?

11 Jul 2015 05:27:41
I think it's hilarious that people actually believe we're waiting to change strips to unveil players when we just today revealed Memphis Depay holding the current Nike kit.

10 Jul 2015 15:00:18
Anyone think we might here something surprising in the press conference today. development on transfers?

10 Jul 2015 15:17:48
Only that Darmaian is on his way for a medical

10 Jul 2015 15:33:01
Well that will be a no. Can't believe this drama over Schneiderlin. He's worth their valuation can play in our league and wants to come yet we are dragging it out. ed needs to forget this Ramos and Bastian rubbish and get obtainable players signed whilst they are available. Looks like we will be going into the season with little preparations againstnd we all know how well we did last season with those preparation.

10 Jul 2015 15:45:03
Jaime, I think you are being a little silly there mate. We have a strong squad they will be better by the start of the season. We have added two very good players to that squad who will have an instant impact. Yes, I would love to get the Schneiderlin deal done, but if it doesn't happen, I still think we have enough to mount a serious challenge next season. I mean, I would personally be happy with Herrera, Carrick and Mata in a midfield three.

10 Jul 2015 16:13:07
And what happens if any of those three get injured especially Carrick get real we NEED two new midfielders but schneiderlin is an absolute must and then go after schweinsteiger and otamendi would like a striker but by the sounds of LVG at press conference d think he's planning on using depay and Wilson as strikers as back up to Rooney would definitely rather try that than buy kane

10 Jul 2015 16:13:57
Come off the stage Sam, if anyone is being silly here it's the guy who thinks we have enough in a 34 year old who won't be able to play every week, Herrera, and a player who the manger sees as a right winger rather than central mid. More likely our most regular midfield will be Blind, Herrera and Fellaini, not exactly awe inspiring.

If we don't sign a top quality midfield it will be a disaster. At present we have Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera and Blind as recognised cm and dm players. If you think that that's sufficient depth to challenge for a title then you're off in la la land.

With our current squad we will be lucky to hang onto fourth place,


Oh wait, I forgot that WE ARE MANCHESTER UNITED = automatic title challengers

10 Jul 2015 16:17:05
No depth there though Sam, we need more quality players in to rotate.

10 Jul 2015 16:30:01
I kind of agree with jaimej79.

Sam, do you not remember how poor our midfield performed last season when ever Carrick got injured? I agree that yes our new signings will improve us massively but we also need to purchase someone who can fill the void in the middle of the park if/when Carrick gets injured.

Just my two pence added.

10 Jul 2015 16:55:41
Where has it become fact that Morgan wants a move to Utd??

I understand he is less than keen and would prefer a move elsewhere. Why would he want to be mopping up (occasionally) for a poor back 4 without De Gea behind them?? That's a hiding to nothing.

Interview from within Saints this pm states any club purchasing Morgan will pay Saints valuation otherwise he will stay at the club. Morgan is aware of this. And I have suggested the media valuation that has gone £20m/£25m/£27m is speculation and is still some way from Saints actual valuation, so don't get too excited just yet.

10 Jul 2015 17:46:46
Danny, you have your opinion and I have mine; and I don't think it is as dire a situation as you and a few other posters would have us believe.
I would much rather the club signed a top CM player, but if it doesn't happen, I am not going to mentally implode like some of you lot and declare it a disaster.

We have signed two players already. Both will be excellent additions IMO. Add to that some of the young talent we have waiting in the wings and a squad of players who will be better prepared for the season ahead, and I can only see positive things ahead next season.

10 Jul 2015 17:50:32
Saint, I am sure some enjoy your input.

Seriously though,you have become a bit of a feeder club of late. That must be grating for you?

10 Jul 2015 17:57:44
I agree Andy; but hypothetically speaking, the manager might want to blood a few more youngsters.

I highly doubt we won't sign another CM player. I just think it is a bit ludicrous to start writing us off if we don't. I am of the opinion that the team will be better next season. I believe that there is definitely a lot of pressure lifted and we will see the managers preferred system played week in week out; and I believe that system fits that players we already have very well.

Just my opinion mate. I'll get off the stage now. ;O)

10 Jul 2015 21:26:21
samthered-if you would rather try and wind me up than check out my information feel free. Just suggest you visit the Saints WS and listen to todays interview with Les Reed. Doesn't seem to link in with the rumour that Morgan is having a medical this weekend.
Quite clear to me Utd have other preferred targets and just keeping an interest in Morgan currently. That could be a real problem. So could the fact that Saints will only agree to a transfer within a very limited timeframe.
I believe Saints v Valencia is on the box tomorrow. Will Morgan be in the squad?? Now, that should excite a few people!

10 Jul 2015 13:35:25
What are everyones expectations if the coming season?

10 Jul 2015 13:53:46
Can't call that yet until we know exactly who we will sign. at current massive fight for fourth place Depay and Darmian will improve us so stronger starting eleven but no quality in depth at current a couple of injuries and we are back to Fellaini and Rooney in midfield.

10 Jul 2015 14:05:50
Title challenge, decent run in the champions league and fa cup would be a good season considering.
If our signings gel and get some momentum early enough I can't see why we can't go on to be champions

10 Jul 2015 14:14:22
Depends on how realistically critical we are prepared to be. LVG can do no wrong so if the expectations are a title challenge then a fourth spot challenge will suffice for some folk.

10 Jul 2015 14:54:28
Jmb ,

I've never seen anyone on here who's of the opinion that LVG can do no wrong , just people like you who think he can do nothing right

10 Jul 2015 14:54:43
A trophy, top 2 minimum and a CL quarter final would be a good year and good progress.

10 Jul 2015 15:19:06
Bilko mate it ain't worth it pal, jmb does this, he has these crazy notions in his head that if u ain't complaining constantly about lvg u worship him.

Hes just trying to wake u up :)

10 Jul 2015 15:36:10
If I had to put my life on it, I say 4th or 5th. Shambles.

10 Jul 2015 16:00:38
4th r 3rd maximum if v keep playing like v do it can be even 6th . v still not signed the two most important a cb with leader qualities and a cm who can replace carrick

10 Jul 2015 16:09:29
No trophies but lots of talk about systems and philosophies. Then I see plenty of managers manoeuvring themselves into position as Pep will join City and we will need someone very special to take us back to where we belong

10 Jul 2015 16:23:27
Champions in April - Depay PFA young player of the year

10 Jul 2015 16:26:40
I'd be really happy to be in and around contesting 4th place and maybe a good run in capital cup, we are just lucky to be in champions league as we barely snuck in last year. so that's a bonus

With LVG in charge we shouldn't really be aiming higher

10 Jul 2015 16:44:03
Jesus. What's with the downbeat stuff. We've bought one player in depay who could turn out to be a gem. We're buying the Italy right back. And we're in negotiations for others. So chill out.
JMB no one on here is saying the sun shines out of lvg's arse. I've been critical of his tactics last season. But against the top teams, we did very well. This bodes well for the future. We had a horrific injury run to boot.
So let's give the manager and the team a chance. Let's see what the club are going to do in the transfer window and then if we're not challenging, we can moan. Come on guys, cheer up for christ sake! !

10 Jul 2015 17:14:08
What a light hearted read this thread was 😎

10 Jul 2015 19:14:24
2nd or 3rd in the league. At least last 8 in UCL, at least semi final of FA or League Cup

10 Jul 2015 19:47:44
Treble!

10 Jul 2015 13:14:14
Everything you need to know about Man Utd's latest signing Mateo Darmian a player profile on the Italian International.

http://www.italianfootballdaily.com/player-focus-matteo-darmian/

10 Jul 2015 16:19:53
Unfair that Ed, with rafael on your picture

10 Jul 2015 12:13:38
Noticed somebody below mentioned Cavani's stats and just wanted to say I have never really thought of him as world class but I am starting to think that's down to my own ignorance. He is not one of the major names when people discuss the top players but i too checked his stats and I have to say I was blown away!! It seems like he's always been looked at in falcaos shadow for me and others i have spoken to for some reason but the boy can score. A LOT! Last season he hit over 30 goals and he was forced wide for most of the season. His goal to game ratio is amazing and its certainly opened my eyes to him a lot more. I would be happy to have him at UTD and think before the Muller saga he seemed the most likely. i'm interested to see if any of you have seen him the same as i did

10 Jul 2015 12:55:34
We've been liked a while now and and although more people are coming round to the idea of cavani there's still people who don't want him. He's world class look at his goals record and then look at his work rate a lot of people completely under rate him I'd prefer him over kane every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

10 Jul 2015 12:58:27
I think Cavani would excell in the EPL, strong, pretty quick, good in the air and consistently gets goals. Would be more than happy with him. However, Muller is more of a LVG type player.

10 Jul 2015 13:34:15
Obviously like Microsoft with an extra l

10 Jul 2015 13:59:47
Cavani stats mean nothing for no players stats outside the premier league are worth much. The premier league is a different monster. when I've seen Cavani play against English opponents in the champions league he's looked poor. For the money he would cost I think there are much better options, hard though as Rooney will be guaranteed starter when fit so another striker must be happy to play second fiddle, and not many top drawer strikers will do that

10 Jul 2015 14:01:02
What Danny said. I think he's a great all-round forward. I still think he might be the 'big name' signing.

Lewandowski would be my first choice, but unrealistic. The same with Bale.

I'd be more than happy with a Cavani/Depay/Di Maria front three. Talk about a fluid, mobile, interchangeable forward line!

10 Jul 2015 15:39:32
I was surprised to read that after the first million euro French league players have to pay 75% tax. I expect a lot of stars from the French league getting out. Cavani, Lacazette, Verrati, maybe Moura (ADM deal?). Who knows, but the tax is ridiculous over there.

Maybe Cavani is the the one to come in.

10 Jul 2015 18:50:38
Good responses guys I immediately asked a mate in work the question and the first thing he said was he's a bit like falcao ha its crazy that so many put them both in the same box. Have any of u guys ever thought of him as a second rate falcao?

10 Jul 2015 18:59:47
Jaime i might be wrong but i think cavani has only faced premier league teams twice both against chelsea. One when he played for napoli and one for psg. he scored on both occasions

10 Jul 2015 19:09:17
My mistake he played against city too and scored an amazing goal haha seems like he's got prem teams boxed off

10 Jul 2015 10:50:01
Hey fellow reds.

I'm just trying some up our options and the chances we have of signing them, and what I believe to be the bet scenario for each position, so here goes.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea future looks very uncertain and is he going? Is he staying one more year? Who knows. But we got to remember even though he is past his best days Victor Valdes is a class keeper and I'm sure he has the credentials to keep 10+ cleans sheets this season if he had a good run in of games. He is not all by means our future, but for this season, and the experience he has, I don't see nothing to bad about that. (Obviously hoping for De Gea to stay)


Right back: it looks like Van Gaal has found his man in Darmain, haven't seen much of the lad but Van Gaal wanted to add height to the team, which he has done with a promising and solid right back.

Centre backs: smalling even though he had his ups and downs he is turning into a solid player. Haven't seen much of otamendi at all! I have head mixed comments on him and to be honest the price being thrown around makes me think is it worth it! Now the talk of Ramos excites me! He has been consistently one of the top 3 centre backs for the past 5 years or so, and can give what he is given. Him and Costa will be at each other, he won't let him have a inch of space.

Centre Defensive Mid( number 6 role): Carrick is a player I admire because of his ability to pass the ball and dictate play. However, at the age of 34 can he carry on at the intensity we need him to? I think not, not for the whole season anyway. Scheiderlin is something we are craving. Energy and not afraid of a tackle, schweinsteger for 10 mil? That's a bargain, we won't be buying him to play every game but having All 3 to rotate at the role looks solid.

Striker: I didn't think we needed a world class striker until I did my counting after the RVP sale, we are light, and being in the champions league we need someone who rises to big games. Who stands out for me? Thomas Muller, full of quality and still only young, countless times he has scored vital goals.

I could of went in forever but didn't want to bore you guys. Just saying my suggestions would love use to expand on the post with your opinions.

10 Jul 2015 11:54:38
Trev,

Think that is a good summary of where we are at, spoke to a mate this morning and said if we could get 3-4 of Otamendi, Ramos, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Kane, Muller we will challenge for the title next season. I have a feeling we will only get 1-2 of them and possibly somebody totally out of left field. At this stage last season we had no idea ADM and Falcao were possibilities, so who knows what might be coming soon.

10 Jul 2015 09:11:17
Good morning Football Rumours community. I was having a chat with my Brother about Rooney with the discussion point being is now the right time to sell Rooney?

I would like to hear your thoughts.

10 Jul 2015 09:29:58
Dear God, let's not do this again. I'm hoping you are just being mischievous

10 Jul 2015 09:34:00
Not unless we are buying Muller and Kane to replace Rooney and RVP.

10 Jul 2015 09:47:58
No that time has passed. A couple of seasons ago may have been the ideal moment but only if the team was invested in in a similar way to it was last season.

I think having Rooney puts us in a awkward position, in that Wayne doesn't have a clear best position. But he is paid as the clubs best player and the one you should be building around, but how do you build around a player who has no definitive position.

For me Rooney's best position is as a second striker. He needs someone playing as a striker in front of him making space for him to work in. But he needs to be closer to the goal than a traditional No.10 and less involved as his short passing and first touch let him down when he plays deeper.

So in order to have Rooney play at his best he needs a world class striker playing in front of him to make space for him, he needs two box to box midfielders behind him doing all the midfield work, and with no creative midfielder playing centrally he needs two great wide players who can create even when doubled up against. He would be amazing if we played in our traditional 4411 with him playing as the one between the midfield and the striker. A midfield with the likes of Keane and Scholes bossing it so he doesn't have to drop deep and help them out, a striker a head of him of the class and ability of RvN and wide players like Giggs and Ronaldo. He needs players of that quality and those kind of players to play at his best.

Maybe Schneiderlin and Herrera could do a job in midfield, Maybe Di Maria and Depay could be those wide players but we need that striker as well. But are they as good as Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo and RvN? No. Also playing that way in very one dimensional, and easy enough to cancel out. Press high and double up on the wide areas.

Rooneys best assest is his ability to play nearly any position and still give a solid 7 out of 10 performance. He is a world class squad player, not the corner stone of a great team.

10 Jul 2015 09:51:22
Last season I would have said yes, but thankfully we didn't because of the lack of goals in the striker department.

However I believe we need to keep hold of Wazza for another season or two whilst we transition into a new team. He is a reliable goal scorer and is probably one of our best players. If we can bring in a player with potential to be better than Rooney (Kane) then it can be an easy transition to switch them over.

However I do believe Rooney will retire at United and will go down as a club legend, despite is poor form the past season or two.

10 Jul 2015 09:53:41
I have wanted him sold for 4 year's, but now isn't the time with us unloading so many in his position. If we sign a world class striker, then I would sell Rooney and bring in another squad player striker or a rotational striker. Rooney has to be the main striker for the good of the team, as the manager has said he will always play and in midfield it is like having 9 men.

10 Jul 2015 10:14:07
yeah let's sell RVP, Rooney and get rid of Falcoa all in one window ! that would be far too much change in one position

10 Jul 2015 11:02:17
yes let's sell our best player

10 Jul 2015 11:19:12
We are spb, DeGea is going to Madrid.

10 Jul 2015 15:41:44
It isn't 2011 anymore SPB.

10 Jul 2015 16:12:58
Sell the money grabbing little toad. Over rated and over hyped by the british press he was a wonder when he was a kid but where as Messi and Ronnie moved on he lost all that made him special his power and pace. Fergie recognised this and was getting rid of him. Moyes bottled it and it cost him his job.

10 Jul 2015 08:51:43
I don't get all these RVP being betrayed etc posts. He had an excellent first season, but since then he has been injured as much as fit to play. By some accounts he may have caused trouble during Moyes' season, which like the manager or not you should give 100% for the fans and those who pay your £200k wages. He could have sat here and earned huge wages plus picked up a bonus next season that he was entitled to, apparently, and who could have blamed him? But, he wanted more first team football which he was obviously told he might not get here, probably as we need players who we can count on week in week out, not ones in the physio room. For him as a player he has made the right choice I think, apparently his wages are still very good too, so he loses the bonus but he's not on the breadline. He'll be a huge fish in a small pond coming to the end of his career, I don't blame him or the club, I think it is right for both at this time.

10 Jul 2015 09:07:57
Far too sensible Brendan, get some of Ronnie's pills down your neck.

10 Jul 2015 09:12:40
He was a short term signing by SAF to win the league . He's only had two injury free seasons in his career and his new club shows where he's at now . Fair play to him for his first season with us when he was class but like you say Brendan we can't guarantee him first team football , so it's best for all concerned .

10 Jul 2015 09:31:28
He was like that beautiful woman you met on holiday who made all your dreams come true but when you got home you liaised it was just a fling. His 1st season with us was one of the best I have seen from any player, unfortunately, he has been unable to do it again.

10 Jul 2015 10:08:51
Up until Xmas his first season he was brilliant. His form after Xmas has been the same for the past 2 and a half years. It was his tremendous start that makes people think it was the whole season he played well.

He had 4 months of being class, it just so happened the season before he was awesome for Arsenal as well. Kind of like ADM had 4 games of looking class and had the season before at Real Madrid - by October he was shocking but a lot of people give him the first half of the season.

10 Jul 2015 10:37:37
RVP was always a golden handshake for SAF he knew that, he's done his job, maybe he just thought he'd have another year with SAF and that's why he's looked so disinterested for 2 years.

10 Jul 2015 11:16:16
AJH - my sister and her two mates said they " have had you "on holiday 3 years ago!😆😆

10 Jul 2015 02:47:06
Hey eds/all,
Just wondering with rvp off is it possible united will move for kane?is the interest in him genuine?i certainly don't think he's a 1 season wonder and could flourish in our new system with better players around him.we all know levy has a price too.united are certainly clearing out a lot of wages so must have something planned?any of the eds confirm anybof this?thanks

10 Jul 2015 08:27:22
There certainly will be a mega signing IMO. I hope we sign kane but he is nowhere a Mega signing. We will have enough budget for wages without violiating any FFP

10 Jul 2015 08:32:54
hope not for 40 million.

10 Jul 2015 08:46:37
Am sure Kane would do a cracking job but the trouble is that he is in love with spurs and is in no rush to leave and secondly levy would refuse to sell him anyway. let's not spend a summer chasing someone we are very unlikely to get regardless of how much money we are prepared to offer re fee/wages.

10 Jul 2015 09:09:12
If Benzema is available for £18M, I can't understand why we would send £40M on Kane. He's had a good season but he's still a huge risk

10 Jul 2015 09:36:31
No way on this planet Benzema would go for £18m, it would be a minimum of £30-35m.

10 Jul 2015 01:53:18
Anyone else think i Am KLOOT is John magnier? His hatred towards SAF iss what I'd expect of John so I won't be surprised if he was

10 Jul 2015 10:17:21
Kloot is entitled to his opinion.
History will record Ferguson as a truly great manager and fantastic judge of players. But he ain't whiter than white. Nor is any very successful person regardless what their endeavour is.

He's a God most of us tho. Just not Kloot!

10 Jul 2015 00:37:27
Banter plz

KLOOT, and my esteemed united bredrins

I just believe the Glazers are what they are, have done what they've done. They aren't oil rich like kloots envious comparisons. We are not a toy, we are a business. A huge sporting brand. I believe that to a certain extent, they have bled our club, but have also gave back in this constant branding and worldwide sponserships.

I am related to a guy (through marriage) who was part of FC UNITEDS set up when this all started, I, like he and many of you stitched goatee bearing voodoo dolls matched with permanent markered glasses. I waved the green and gold.
After time you have to ask yourself What now would we achieve in Mutiny? We are gathering strength. Yes they are money grabbers, cash cow strokers. But they are doing good business. What will become of citeh and chelski should their owners become bored?.
I don't hear KLOOT saying anything about that Racehorse Rock of Gibraltar? Arguably, if Magnier and MacManus weren't to get upset by Fergies greed. We coulda/shoulda/woulda? It's six of one half dozen of the other.
I, like my former FC UNITED peer, have licked my personal wounds and got over it. I got sick of being a dog chasing it's tail, round and round, never getting anywhere.
Remove those harmful blinkers boys and gals. MUTINY HURTS HARD NO MATTER WHAT.

PEEEAAACE✌✌✌

Yes u r right. Nothing we can do about the glazers and we are getting money in the club whether it's there's or not. I agree with KLOOT though they are not good for the club! Waving a few green and yellow scarves isn't going to help imo.

I understand it's still very early but I'm feeling all this hype that we supposedly had massive war chest 150-200 mil to spend this summer just isn't ringing true . We re haggling over a few million over Morgan and linked with likes of schweinstger . I just very much expected big arrivals to come and more intent. I'm hoping as I said that it is still early and big name arrivals will come .
Other point i'd like to make is why didn't we sign Clyne ? Younger cheaper english homegrown player why have we gone for an more expensive Italian who rated of a similar calibre ??? We ve always had British players in our club and slowly slowly becoming a club/team of foreigners .

hate that word "warchest" you sound like the daily star mate!!!

Maybe we didn't want clyne and feel Damian is a better fit for what we need? The scouts will have done their homework.

This time last year there was a lot of posts like this, I am excited for the next month.

This is what gets me GDS people going on about our top targets we have literally no idea who our top targets are if the rumour of us having worked on the Darmain deal for four months are true then that suggests he was the top target.
