SUPERTOON

I think you have misunderstood the point I made initially (or I have with your initial post). All I meant was that any player we sign this window I’d be amazed if we hadn’t already done months of due diligence on. I don’t think any signing we make we would have rushed in on.

Get the point you are trying to make, but we didn’t sign Isak because we were patient. We pulled the Pedro deal after it was agreed because Wilson got injured and so we went big on Isak.

I’m not saying that’s how it works, but I’m certain we already have our list of targets so there will be no rushing for players we aren’t sure of.

Someone better tell Chelsea and Madueke then, he did an interview a couple of days back saying he is their number one RW this season.

You would imagine in a summer window you are already sure of all your targets before it opens ?

Ben Arfa would be too lazy for Howe.

In fairness I’m not sure any of the signings Villa or Chelsea have made would start for us. Not seen the lad Man Utd have signed play so can’t comment.

Apparently Arsenal wanted him and met with him and were immediately put off by his personality.

Apart from January just gone, confident we will be stronger this summer however.

People starting to receive emails.

We have no chance with Raphinia imo, not sure we have been linked apart from a poor Spanish source. Gonzalez seems too old (in footballing terms) for what we would target.

I’m still not sure the elite RW we need is available for us this window tbh. Genuinely can’t think of a realistic option.

Tonali allowed to play according to Ryder.

Not knowing about Mitchell and Staveley is completely different to knowing about transfers. Isak one was out of the blue (had been linked earlier in the window). I’m pretty sure every other transfer we have made under these owners was in the press before it happened. Certainly the majority of them anyway.

Fingers crossed, reluctant to believe to much until somewhere more reliable pick it up.

That’s really not the case though, pretty much the majority of our business the press have known about.

Enjoying there being a couple of rumours, shame they are from the Italian press mind.

Most normal Man Utd fans would also pick Isak tbh. It’s not even debatable.

Where are these stories ? Only thing I saw was that Tobido only wants to go to Juve.

You have no idea if Gray would have signed for us let’s be honest. As for not signing that position, whilst I agree it’s a position we don’t need (at least in terms of numbers), the club have shown every window they sign players opportunistically rather than what position we may think we need. There was also no pre agreement in the Hutchinson to Ipswich loan deal. It was a straight loan originally no obligation.

Off the top of my head who I can remember, Archie Gray would be the main one. I’d have taken a look at Omari Hutchinson as well. Mats Wieffer who went to Brighton is another exciting signing.
