Ok impossible then for us. Nailed on for Man U

Would love us to get him and have Osimhen and Isak up front. unlikely of course

They will want a new figurehead because Salah is their icon as is Van Dijk. And Trent is the local boy superstar too, integral to how they play. Allison could also go because Marmadishivilli is coming in the summer. All are amongst the best in the world in their positions. It would like if we lost Isak, Botman, Bruno and Hall in one summer. That’s a heck of a spine.

Whatever happened to Osimhen? A few years ago he was considered a 100m player and on a higher level than Isak in terms of guaranteed goals. How did he fall so far?

If anywhere I could see him as Lewansowski’s replacement at Barcelona for sure. If they have the money of course or sell off their rights for the next 100 years The new generation of Messi v Ronaldo Isak v Mbappe Roque v Endrick Yamal v Guler Raphina v Vini Pedri v Bellingham

Box clever with a few free transfers to pad out the squad and a few Minteh type of wildcard youngsters with 3-4 purple first teamers and jobs a good un Would like to get this years Milenkovic at 13m etc - don’t stress about top top tier, think about value relative to ability. We tried to get our A which is Guehi but if a B is available at a quarter of the price then go for that, their value will increase anyway. looking at that squad scoring system: we don’t need every signing to be an A like Tonali. B’s and C’s are useful especially since Wilson and Longstaff etc might be going. Raising the floor is important, as well as the ceiling.

But reluctant Ashley would have not taken action until April

Would be okay with a Mainoo for Longstaff swap + 20m

Irish Paul fantastic points very well articulated, 100% agree mate. We focus on sportswashing for the Arabs but is Hollywood not just Movie-washing? Is owning the media not information-washing? Owning the banks not finance-washing? Music industry, comedy, art, = culture washing. Tech platforms = tech washing The most blatant of all of these is the BLATANT and direct influence in politics. That’s not just washing, that’s literal subversion, direct influence and silencing etc. much more heinous and insidious than anything the Chinese the Russians the Arabs or any one does. The criticism of sportswashing is to throw ungodly amounts of money into sports to influence it and generate positive PR and subsequently cover up or deflect any conversation about human rights abuses. No one benefits more from this in any sphere than Israel, perhaps except in sports. But they will shout the loudest and how unfair everything is in the one field they’re not already dominating. It’s the most blatant of double standards and complete injustice which is infuriating.

With respect, Chucky Ferreyra, Nacho Gonzalez, Marcelino, Seydou Doumbia, Xisco and Islam Slimani have done more for this club than Steve bloody Bruce. At least their contribution is either negligible or neutral. They didn’t actively damage the club, as crap as they were. Steve Bruce was negative, toxic, took the club even further backwards and still continues to spout nonsense to this day. Even Joe Kinnear was at least mildly entertaining even though up until Bruce was probably the biggest embarrassment associated with the club

Perhaps one of those really highly rated goalkeepers like Diogo Costa or Jan Oblak could be one too

Guler would have those vibes A good signing I’d like to try for backup CF is Vitor Roque from Barca

Reminds me of the Kenny Dalglish days crap team but used to be a thing I remember in my childhood the team was all international Lots of one cap wonders like Barton

And Longstaff

Would love Man U’s version of Ashley to consider Bruce as a safe pair of hands appointment to save them from relegation because he knows the club
