Simikan / Guehi Raphina / Torres / Coman DCL / Depay (still need a sub for Isak, Osula might be too raw)

Need 3 players minimum by deadline day

Willock, Wilson, Woodgate, Wood, Williamson, Woodman Never sign any W players they are injured or not very good

On this note it seems people would have been happier if Ashworth had sold Joelinton but we had signed Ederson to replace him, at least it’s a new signing eh

We’ve definitely weakened overall, Anderson was improving, useful and trusted as an option, Minteh would be pushing for a start later in the season. Kelly is a good squad option, as is Osula but neither are starters. Ruddy and Vlad im not sure are even better than Karius. Hall we already had. So far we have definitely weakened our options. I don’t like Man Us buys but all 5 of them you could see starting in their best XI. Ditto Brighton and West Ham. We have a good XI but defo need two starters, one at RW for sure

We had a great transfer window in Summer 2016… All young high potential buys Brighton would be proud of including NUFC fan Mitrovic, the new Ben Arfa Thauvin, young Dutch international Wijnaldum and young solid CB Mbemba. Then even Townsend and Shelvey in the January. We know what happened that season. The manager is by far the most important signing, we don’t know anything about Brighton’s yet.

Prefer Dennis Wise at this rate he still bought in Xisco who scored one goal for us

I’d actually be ok with that as long as we got 50m on top

It’s like the opposite of the Jan 2022 window where literally every day there was a new link

Man U must know they’re going to have to subsidise his wages for him to leave no matter who he goes to

Jadon Sancho loan to buy. They want to get rid of him. 40m price point is actually not bad in this market. 30m left over. Get Milan Skrinar for a good RCB albeit more short term. Another alternative, 50m Simikan, 15m Chiesa. Trafford loan to buy. Another alternative, give Barca 70m for Raphina/Torres plus Christensen double deal. Any one of those scenarios is good for us and puts us in a better place.

Loan in a CB and RW crazy I know pay 5m per loan save your money until January or next summer why is that so hard we need immediate first team support Go to Barca, PSG, Bayern, the kind of clubs they have a ton of talent being underutilised. Get a couple of them in. Jobs a good un

Isak should not start Keep him safe for Spurs

Dubravka / Ruddy Trippier Krafth Kelly Targett Willock Longstaff Tonali Almiron Osula Barnes bring on Sanusi at some point

Would rather not get someone with semen in their name Although would make an exception for Kingsley Come-an

I’d honestly take Sancho at 40m at this point, think his profile (a dribbler) would be great and I’m sure Howe could get him performing again to a high level High potential, English and not wanted at MU. His wages are crazy high but perhaps he’d take a pay cut for regular starts

No - I actually like the Will Osula purchase, it's promise of that ilk I meant, that sort of price range with a high upside, Rowe is also around there or thereabouts also from the Championship Not necessarily abroad for the sake of sexy names. But Guehi for 70m vs Milenkovic or Hujisen at 13m - I would choose the latter as it's boxing smart. Guehi is great but in a time where our limits are constrained, Guehi isn't 45m better (and the potential risk and difficulty it would cause us down the line to get other positions filled). Remember, Schar is already first team, Botman is coming back in a few months and Lascelles beyond that. Next summer or this January coming up they can scour and get the right game changer if available - e.g contract winding down etc.

Agreed he’s definitely one and so was Hujisen, we haven’t done smart business like that for a long time, let’s hope bucks the trend Chiesa at 11m could have been another steal or even Jonathon Rowe who went for about 10m. Cherki is available for 13m or so. quite a few bargains available to improve the squad.

Gundogan was let go for free for this reason

Also dodgy Italian (Zaniolo / Tonali) Onana was heavily linked to us too

And Vitor Roque instead of DCL

Kelly and Tosin would have been really solid, and would have meant our main focus this last week would be on a purple RW Bloody Chelsea

Angelo already part of the bomb squad?! He was linked to us and Chelsea got us before we got a chance to bid. He can play RW too. Wouldn’t mind Madurke and Angelo double deal.

I'd rather Tapsoba tbh - he seems much more fearsome But Guehi will do a good job i'm sure

Nuno isn't 5, at least Tier 4 if not 3. He's done well most places, particularly Wolves. All of Tier 4 should be below him, esp Brighton's who's unproven at the moment.
