Transfer rumours

You can tell it’s going to be a quiet transfer window - we haven’t even been linked with Arda Turan or someone from Southampton yet.

*tumbleweeds*
 
Hopefully it’s all bullshit.

Every time we’ve finished 2nd we’ve dropped away in the following season. I’d hate to see that happen again.
 
The front 3 will be knackered after another summer of football, I hope get decent cover.

Yes they will be but am not sure - I think both Mane, and Salah thrive and get better with more games they play. But it is a worry if we don't get someone else as cover. Regarding @King Binny post of tweet from Mr. Maddock - bit concerning if it comes from him - he is that fella that gets things right don't he ? If there is any truth in it then getting a 20M wide front man to cover our fab 3 along with Shaq, and Origi - maybe the only choice as it indicates for that valuation they will be a bench-warmer for most of the season. Let's face it we ain't going to sign a 50M plus forward to cover the front 3 - probably never be allowed, and secondly the player would not join us to sit on his arse for most games. So it all makes sense for that front position.

That said - if our manager does not think we need a creative mid with a good record for being fit, then we will definitely find ourselves short again - so am hoping the limit of 20M is only for that front covering position, and Mr. Maddock knows fuck all about any potential midfielders we are looking into. I mean nearly everyone major midfielder has been associated with us. Someone somewhere out there and on this site knows the truth and whats going on. Damn it.... you cunts just come out and say it.
 
If one of our front three are injured we have Shaqiri, Divock, Brewster & Woodburn as cover, possibly AOC too

Don't see Woodburn staying, nor the rest providing adequate cover. We will have to add one more.

LB cover is the only other glaring hole unless Ming leaves
 
30m euro is close enough to 20m GBP isn't it?


Why is this guy only worth 30M ? - he is fantastic whenever I have seen him play. Is there something wrong with him we don't know about him and for that matter all the other clubs in the world. How can he be only 30M.

Assuming this 'agreement' is real, maybe he negotiated it in his contract before his value went up due to the CL run they had?

Because his contract dates back to 2016 when he signed for €11m (2 years left to run)
 
If we could get Ziyech and Bruno for around £90m with Milner as cover for LB I would say it was a pretty good summer. Lallana could be loaned out, brings in some money and he is off the wage bill.
With pace and number of games we have, everyone should get there share of games

Two attacking midfielders and no forwards? Really?
 
United look likely to reject Inter Milan's proposed £62.7m deal to sign 26-year-old Belgium striker Romelua Lukaku, first on loan and then permanently. (Telegraph)
 
We have Brewster and Divock plus Mane and Salah could easily move up to occupy the number 9 role

So we have up front we have a completed untested youngster and Origi who is patchy at best to cover for 3 positions.

And in midfield we have Keita, Ox, Ziyech, and Bruno all competing for one spot.

It's not gonna happen but it's so ridiculous I had to comment.
 
Ziyech plays out wide for Ajax and I think he'd be great cover for Salah and Mane.

However, I agree that we don't need Bruno. Not unless we are selling Lallana and Keita/Ox. We're very well stocked there.

Lallana is getting on a bit and was shit last season. If we can't sell him, we should loan him out
Ox probably will get injured and be out for 3 months
Kieta more reliable than the others but is still injury prone.
Bruno has a far better scoring record than the 3 above
