I don’t get your ‘boring’ comment but the idea that we’re all done seems like an unsound, and unnecessarily negative conclusion. I’ve no idea how much money we have left to spend but we still need a DCM a centre back and a right back just to fill the squad out. for me I would have Zakaria (now), Botman and Aaron’s. (Now or in the summer). I would also sell Danny ings and use the money to get Alvarez if he wanted to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a bigger picture here…send them down! You're absolutely right. However Manchester United are incredibly stupid and run by people who don't know what they're doing on the football side.

Aarons can come to clean KKH’s boots (we don’t need a RB, imo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 I think we’re probably working on one big transfer behind the scenes. Personally, I’d like that to be a defensive midfielder. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Guilbert out on loan. We certainly don't need one this window, maybe if Kesler goes on loan next year as he's deemed not ready, maybe then we'd sign somebody to replace Cash in the summer, moving him to the bench before being sold next summer with Kesler being brought into the squad then. But I think all of that feels unnecessary, integrate Kesler into the squad now, use him long term. Bring Guilbert back for a year if we really want to loan Kesler out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a hope in hell will Toon be competing for top 4 next season if they stay up. Toon competing at the top is quite a few years away. They still have to comply with FFP and can't spend infinite amounts of money. I don't see Toon's financial muscle in the transfer window and stronger than Villa's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't make any difference to Man Utd if Newcastle stay up Perhaps not - for next season. But their financial muscle will come into play - FFP or not. A couple of stadium and shirt sponsors, an official flight partner, drinks partner, kit partners, etc, etc and suddenly they can afford the same targets and push up the league, making it harder for ManUre to push back into the UCL where the real money is.

MaVilla Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) it would make zero sense for Manure to loan Lingard to anyone for the rest of the season. Lingard has 6 months on his contract left, so Manure need to either keep him in their squad (for depth), or sell him in Jan as this is their last chance to make money on him, loaning him out makes literally zero sense. If Lingard wants his pay day, he will run his contract down and get his last big payday in the summer.
