No thanks. I'll wait for the Blockbuster movie of the century

Rashford must be the premiership in-form striker, starting to live up to his potential which was stalled during the fraud tenure at united, If he works on his finishing like Ronaldo, United will struggle to keep him, soon the sharks of Real madrid will come calling, he has it all, pace, close control, good first touch, dribbling skill, good free kick skills, maybe does not score a lot with his head, still a lot he can work on, he should watch Videos of Ronaldo in action, he can learn a lot from him, when he gets to that level, his transfer value will rise to 150M, he is already a big game player and scores against all the big premiership sides

I agree that United shouldn't spare any amount in bringing in the 'right fit' players. We had a manager who wasted millions on defenders and then resorted to fielding our established midfielders including an academy graduate in CD. That is criminal and unacceptable, good riddance. Also, spending is no excuse for Manchester United losing to Derby City or parking the bus against Brighton, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Southampton.

It's time to be Manchester United again and glad it's already happening without a single new signing yet. While some teams/entities could easily provide excuses for almost 40 years of 'trophylessness' and clueless football since they are highly experienced in such, this is certainly not in Manchester United's DNA. There was a long period of drought in the past but it was never acceptable and casualties were plenty. The moment you make it about you, then start preparing for your inevitable exit.

This is Manchester United.

this is where you lost it. What is a 'right fit' player?

BIG TEAMS buy and sell players all_the_time.
You buy, it does not fit...you sell. SIMPLE

Case in point: Barcelona bought Malcom (21 y/o) for 40MM last summer.
It has not worked out
(they even tried to offload him + cash for Willian)

Yet Barca is moving forward.
Case #2 will be Coutinho

All about money, premiership for the highest spender, thank goodness for Leicester, they said no to these massive 120, 140 million spending clubs, you have to be able to pass the ball forward and not sideways or backwards!

[tfco]

Dear marko.

the boy you were raving about recently.
Guess who just picked him up for 75 big ones.
Yup, a BIG club with ambition.

Do you think United scouted him? I would say so

I hope Frenkie_is_the_right_fit for Barca.

Yes, let's continue on about Leicester, now on their 2nd or 3rd coach since that title win
Meanwhile since that Leicester win, Man City have acquired 4 defenders and won the title
But continue deluding yourself that money does not matter

If i hear you complain about our RB position again....

[tfco]

[tfco]

We need to fix our defence next season, dont care if we won or not, these things are glaring

City (2-3) United
Apr 2018

Do you still think that way? We can always tap into the Academy yunno.
U23...U18

Or we could spend 100MM on a world class defender

... and you think they are happy with that development? There is a reason why you have scouts and analyze player attributes. Yes, players are human and things happen but getting the 'right fit' is always the goal, even with managers
*Pogba, Lindelof, Bailly are right fit players for United IMO, even Dalot. The manager was the wrong fit

I agree with you that United should be pulling their weight - however, this is business and apparently they are exceptional at what they do. They should get a director of football asap and with the right fit across board we should start getting consistent results again. We can't be parking the bus against Crystal Palace even in their backyard

[marko]

yes when you have good players like De Jong, you have to go for that calibre, only for exceptional players, he is a midfielder, is that where are issues are? dont think so, our defence seems to be the main issue but if we can get Bailly and Lindelof to get a good run of games, maybe that partnership can flourish? Barcelona might have spent 140m on Coutinho but that has not exactly worked out? they spent something similar on Dembele, yes he is a good player and we can now see signs of his talent

man united have made mistakes in the past with players like Sanchez and to some extent Fred unless he comes good for us so we have to be extra cautious this time around, yes Koulibaly world class but what if Napoli are unwilling to sell?

At the same time, the glazers might be thinking, we have won 7 games on the trot, maybe it was the manager that was hopeless and could not get the best out of the players? or even perhaps, the new intended coach has signalled united not to sign any players until he arrives, or perhaps it is pure sabotage as they did not expect OGS to perform this credibly so no transfer funds hoping united miss out on the top 4 so they can easily shove him aside?

who knows, its just a matter of speculation really, like i said, if we can get the likes of bailly and Lindelof to have a good run of games and a good understanding, that could potentially answer our defensive questions

Last week Brighton used a lot of long high balls and united struggled, Jones is not exactly commanding in the air, neither is Lindelof, Bailly seems to deal better with aerial challenges

Thank goodness neymar is injured and that foot injury might not heal in time for the 1st class with PSG at old trafford

Like i said, its either we go for the best CD or dont bother, we have made far too many mistakes in the transfer market and there is no point for panic buying unless that player can add value to united as it is now

this is where you guys completely lose me

WE ARE MANCHESTER UNITED.
Are we competing with Bournemouth in the spend market...or Real Madrid, Barca, PSG?

How much did SAF pay for Rooney...Berbatov....Rio...even a young DDG?
Big clubs take risks (Barcelona with Coutinho and Malcom), and they move forward

I think you're happier that Glazer is milking the club dry (only 1.3B in the last 10 years) rather than invest in top top players
