so if rumors are true and the following of
dave the save
rojo
smalling
jones
bailly
valencia
pogba
martial
sanchez
mata
herrera
rashford
all either not wanted or don't want to be here are true where does this leave us,
we can't just go out and buy 11 players in one window.
i might be over reacting but it doesn't look good atm.
19 Nov 2018 18:11:07
Barring one or two that looks like just what we need. A clear plan, a clear out and significant investment.
19 Nov 2018 18:54:33
Things would look a whole lot better if we sold the majority of those players imo bolger.
I think you forgot darmian too mate. 😂
Ideally from that list ddg rash and martial stay. The rest won't be missed a great deal in reality they either don't play a lot or don't overly impress when they do or in the case of valencia mata and herrera there is no real significant improvement in them at this stage of their career.
19 Nov 2018 19:14:02
wouldnt have any sleepless nights if
rojo
smalling
jones
bailly
valencia
sanchez
mata
herrera
All these left.

We have probably never sold or signed anywhere close to that many first team players in a window. 50% of them will still be here next September.
19 Nov 2018 21:33:45
Also Darmian. Good post Bolger, you've simply illustrated just how much work needs to be done. It won't be easy shifting this lot either because of their wages.
20 Nov 2018 09:43:58
Also Young missed off.
Id only keep about 6 out of all of them.
20 Nov 2018 10:41:50
Also we may have to play the free transfer market. Aaron Ramsey for example should at least be looked at.
20 Nov 2018 11:52:45
It's obvious isn't it?
It leaves us with a starting 11 of:
Romero, Dalot, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Shaw, Matic, Fred, McTominay, Lingard, Lukaku and Young.
In a 433. Plus anyone we can sign, although we might not be able to convince many to sign if they see that many players jumping ship.

Oh my word shappy all those players leaving and you still can't fit fellaini into your team. Maybe you should have the job above jose😂😂.
20 Nov 2018 23:50:30
Ken, Fallaini is on the bench waiting for the 70th minutes when we are a goal down.

Don’t know why people are always quick to write Mata off our books. I know he’s past the point of improving but he still offers creativity where we currently lack it, gives 100% and consistently performs when played (which is hard to say of any United player at the minute) .
Would happily keep him as a squad player.
21 Nov 2018 09:40:43
Id keep Mata and Herrera. Good squad players. De Gea, martial, rashford are all must keeps. Pogba if he wanted to stay but if he doesn't move him on. The rest can go.

Thats fair mort i'd agree with that.
{Ed002's Note - I cannot sensibly answer questions about the timings of transfers. Clubs are often reluctant to sell in January as they cannot find replacements and certainlt Roma will not want to sell Lorenzo Pellegrini. But as I have said, Manchester United are looking again at LP who has been on the list since last January but he was well down the list of options available although remained of interest - but as they have failed to sign who Mr Mourinho has wanted he is again an option.}
