Rumours are always frustratingly slow to come to a conclusion. We'll probably get Grealish and Kane but I was hoping for just Haaland. Dont want any of our current forwards or midfielders to leave really although I may not be too upset if Raheem left if we got them Kane and Grealish. If no one left it'd be like watching England when Bell, Lee, Summerbee and Marsh used to be the line up!

Everyone is say in Kane OR Haaland. Why not both? We used to have 4 top strikers.
Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko and Balo.
No we have one, who might be leaving!!
Why can't we sign kane this summer and Haaland for the release fee next summer. Or am I being very greedy??

Who would be your main striker? Can't imagine neither of them settling for second fiddle role, not not to mention cost involved. Very unrealistic

Bookies are rarely wrong

Kane now 3 to 1 on to join.
Grealesh 4/7
Haaland 3/1

And the bookies don't give a f&*k what prices are thrown around...

I dont know about unrealistic.
We have the guts of 60 odd games per season.
Kane can also play wide or deep.
Having one striker and him getting injured, not a great scenario.
Mmmmm might not be a bad plan. Especially if we could get Haaland for his release fee, which is low enough I think, relatively speaking.

It looks like we are putting all of our "eggs" into Kane and Grealish's baskets and we might drag this until the last day of the transfer window. Sure, can happen, but also shows that it looks like we have zero desire to solve our left-back problem and also our dm situation, because, as much as we want it, Fern is not getting any younger.

It certainly looks like it is Kane and Grealish or bust.
The bookies usually get it right and the odds of each transfer happening are moving in the wrong direction.

Does not look promising on either front.

Pep loves rodri & seems quite happy with zincs and mendy at LB so it’s not a big surprise he is not prioritising that area of the pitch

Agree, but what will we do when those key positions will come and bite our arse again?

Don't like to say this, but the rags improved and they know what to fix.
Needed a winger, they got Sancho.
Needed a playmaker, got Fernandes.
Needed a center back, got Maguire and now they might get Varane alongside him.

'Ole at the wheel' has put together a great team for next season - if any blue thinks otherwise then Id suggest you take off your blue tinted specs.

Meanwhile Baldie still hasn't addressed the left back position and some still think he will change his mindset in crunch CL games :lol:

I don’t think United needed a winger. They’ve got Rashford, Martial, James. They needed to sort out their defence and bought a tanned Mangala. I’d rather not sign anyone than pay £42m for that.

I think 42 is a small price for a player of his calibre. Fucked up vs us, true, but him and Ramos won a shitload of trophies together.
In contrast, reports are saying Ben White, who won fuck all, will cost Arse 50 mil+

42 is a 1 mil more than we paid for Ake, which I like, but doesn't come even close to Varane.
I hope he will not settle, but sadly, I think he will improve their defence.

But again, 450 mil deficit on their bank records. No one is talking FFP, Really?

Varane had 1 year left on his contract though. We can’t compare any price tags of English footballers because every single English player will go for £20m more than they’re worth minimum.

Like you say, they’ve just spent £100m this summer and no one has said a word. We spend that on Kane and we’re ruining football, we caused WWII, Hitler was a City fan, FFP cheats, etc

One thing I will say is I think if it were up to Pep we’d already have Grealish and Kane. It’s the tossers further up that fuck about with transfers and it costs us in the end. They’d rather waste £50m on Mangala than pay Hazard’s agent £20m. They’re stealing a living.

Is it Khaldoon or is it those other two? Or is it just one of them? Or somebody else?
