If Paul fucking pig (always injured ) Pogba comes to city then im done with Pep - it will just show us that he has 100% lost the fucking plot and needs therapy.

Has to be a joke .

Just seen it’s an article in the Independent written by the rag, Miguel Delaney.

So there isn’t an ounce of truth in it. Pure fiction.

Should've known that cunt started it. That's what happens, delaney makes up something ridiculous and gets all his cronies to copy in their respective shitroll papers so it becomes a thing.

Makes sense him looking for attention right now because I heard on the radio yesterday he's just released a book called State of Play about state owned clubs and how to get rid in order to save football.

Look how many helped him out this time:

Are there any players at one of our sister clubs we could loan in January? Girona, New York would be the most likely candidates to have someone good enough

After yesterdays farce can we change the thread title from overhaul, to complete re-build.

Was thinking of a defender as a stop gap. Just so Walker never has to wear our shirt again

The kid who plays lb for Girona. RM have a buy back on him. Doesn't defend a lot so will fit right in in our system. Very skillful though.

Who would we keep? At the moment I think maybe Dias only one, the rest either too old, downed tools, sick notes or shite

Dias, Foden, Josko, Akanji, Rico, Doku, Savio, Haaland, Ortgea, Ake can all stay. They are not the priority.
But all of Walker, KDB, Gundo, Kovacic, Silva, Ederson, Stones, Nunes can all go, they are too old, or not good enough or cannot be relied on.
Grealish I am 50/50 on.
Mc Atee, O Reilly etc, haven't seen enough of them at top level.

We need 8 replacements at a minimum. Plus we need to enlarge the squad. Going to take time to do that either through the academy or signings.

Problem is Ederson will 100% go next summer. So already we’re paying £60m+ for a keeper. Then we need a RB, LB, two CMs, competition for Haaland…

I know people don’t want to hear it but the way the club has ran our transfers the past few years is laughable and on par with when Fergie left the Rags

The key question is what the Club does in January to try to ensure we make top four. Chelsea Liverpool and Arsenal are better than us at the moment which leave one space, Qualification for last 16 of CL would be nice but that means two more play off games and we’ll probably get knocked out by almost any of the top 8 Clubs. An FA Cup would be nice but CL is far more important.

My guess is we get a decent midfielder in. If Zubimendi is prepared to leave Real Sociedad we should pay the reserve price and get him in on January 1. Ederson is very good too. It’s not easy to get Clubs to sell mid season so we shouldn’t expect too much.

Promote Ortega and use our buy back on Trafford - not ideal but saves us getting fleeced. Trafford would be fine in a better quality team than Burnley and is decent playing out and knows the club already

I'd keep kovacic personally have no one else like him in midfield. Oscar Bobb was progressing at lightning speed before the injury and it'll be great to get him back. A couple of signings in January is badly needed they'll not going to be any worse than what we have.
