What's new

2018 TRANSFER WINDOW OPEN!

Emmanuel Boateng who plays for Levante looks brilliant, only 21yo scored HT against Barca, all great goals, they bought him for just £2m, bargain, go get Chelsea.

 
I agree that we don't need a complete overhaul. We could do with 2-3 top class players, get rid of players we don't need and fill the rest of the squad up with academy graduates 

Ideally we target a deep lying playmaker. Someone like Jorginho, Ruben Neves, Leandro Paredes and Weigl would all be good options

I feel we need some support in attacking midfield also. Hirving Lozano, Fekir, Bailey, Martial, Asensio are all options we should be looking at

Also, if there's a possibility of getting someone like Alderweirld or Kloulibaly then we seriously need to look at that option

If Morata does go back to Juventus then I'd like to see Bats be given a chance, I feel he's never had a proper opportunity under Conte and in a more attacking setup I feel he'd thrive. 9 goals in 14 games for Dortmund is a great return for any striker

If Courtois has his heart set on leaving and we receive a crazy offer then I feel we should let him go, Butland is a very good GK and wouldn't be too expensive considering Stoke got relegated

I don't see much of a future for the likes of Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Pedro, Moses, Drinkwater and David Luiz and I'd look to use the likes of RLC, Hudson-Odoi, Ampadu, Mount, Ola Aina as squad players and slowly bring them into the first team

 
We should go for Alfie Mawson.

Diehard Chelsea fan, homegrown and always impressed me.

Swansea will sell apparently. He's their most valuable asset and they can't stand in his way, now that they've been relegated.

 
Was  he the one who used to train in bare feet and eat fish and chip suppers?

Is he left footed by any chance (can't remember), because whether we go 3 or 4 at the back, we need a natural left footed CB imo.

 
Read in the Guardian today that United are likely to sign Alderweireld for about 40 million.

We are interested but are pursuing Jamal Lascelles instead.

He's their most valuable asset, but that still doesn't make him anywhere near good enough for us. He's probably only just Premier League quality. He wouldn't improve us and an inexperienced CB at the highest level is the last thing we need right now.

It would be just like us to target someone for months and end up settling for mediocrity. Lascelles is a decent player, but he's a decent player for a mid table team, not a team that wants to play in the Champions League.

Got called up to the England squad earlier this season and would be on the plane to Russia but for surgery, and all the while playing for a struggling unfashionable club. He's stood out, whenever I've seen him. Sure, he may not be the answer and you may not think it's a good idea but he's clearly PL quality, which is why there'll be a long line of PL clubs trying to sign him.

If United sign Sandro I will implode.

why? he's been poor this season by all accounts and has been dropped from the brazil squad for the world cup. he also got his place taken at juventus by asamoah. Emerson we bought for just over 20m and he's 23. lots of potential, whereas sandro is 27 and coming off a poor season. he would also cost at least €60m which could go towards another position.

come on, we all know how difficult it is to buy from spurs. levy would rather sell up north than to a rival london club. also, we haven't got a coach in yet so it's tricky situation. that's the problem waiting on conte to go when we've got an FA cup game coming up, we can't move forward until the weekend is over and we know exactly what's happening.

Hopefully Spurs want Barkley to replace Dembele. Don't think it will happen but I'd take a part ex deal for Alderweireld any day of the week.

 
Do we really need to buy a new CB? Next season we will most likely play with 4 at the back with Christensen & Rudiger? Stick with Christensen I say. It's a tough one because I believe you should change a defence as little as possible, but then you have defenders becoming unhappy due to lack of games. I guess if either Luiz or Cahill are sold we should look for a replacement... to be back up or possibly replace Rudiger in the starting XI.

In regards to RB, Dave will start there and Zappa is a good replacement? 

LB hopefully Palmieri comes good & Alonso is also a good replacement.

I think our priority should be a midfielder & a RW. 

If we sell Morata, buy another striker and have (new striker) Bats & Giroud & send Tammy out on another loan for a season.

There is always Zouma to come back as well.

 
would love Icardi, Inter are in the Europa League next year too so he wouldnt be missing out on CL football if he signed for us.

Add Isco in midfield and rashford.

If we lose Courtois then Allison Becker from Roma as replacement.

                       Allison

Dave   Christiansen   Zouma/Rudiger    Emerson

              Isco    Kante   RLC

Rashford         Icardi          Hazard

Can't believe we haven't signed anyone yet. Leaving it to the last hundred thousand minutes...just like usual.

We don't even know who the coach will be yet. Can't go buying players without a coach in place. No point buying a player that doesn't fit into a specific coach's ideas. Being in the cup final has put us back a week as can't sack Conte yet.

 
Wilfried Zaha definitely deserves some views, I think he made a huge improvement this season.

 
Will anyone want Bakajoko though?

or will he be stuck here forever?
