This is our choice though, nobody is putting a gun to our head and making us spend 70m ( ) on a centre half.

Disappointing if true mind.

I think this is natural to be fair, we all want the best for the club and that manifests itself in many different ways, as long as people are posting with sincerity the end goal should always be the same. On a more footballing note, I think last season and the start of this season has quite clearly displayed our limitations and a lot of fans wish those to be addressed, that paired with the fact most of the clubs in the league have strengthened makes it even more imperative.

I didn’t see any credible links to this guy.

They send Casemiro out to pasture. Probably hoping for the Saudi bailout.

Can’t wait for the window to close, let’s see where the chips land.

I think we have more a few bullet points than a list at this stage

Pretty sure the price palace set was a fuck off price as they haven’t budged an inch. They are absolutely rinsing us though.

@ponsaeliusi thought your point about tactical convergence was very interesting so wanted to bring it out of the Trafford thread. I don’t usually have time to watch other teams play but caught some of Palace Wham and some Liverpool Brentford and it’s interesting how basically all of these teams want to press high and I think it’s also an area we struggle with, we never look particularly good trying to play out under pressure. This then got me to thinking, has this convergence tactically been the death kneel for the likes of Rafa and Mourinho has top level elite football essentially left these guys behind?

Because we clearly have very specific targets which we are focusing on, the message has been quality over quantity so the signals have been very few first signings for this window.

Another thing which pissed me off yesterday our stupid short corners, why are we doing short fucking corners yet limping it long from free kicks in our own half.

I think we can find a market for Pople and Wilock, but I definitely concur with you regarding the way recruitment has headed, basically everyone wants the same profile of player, those old steady hands who never excelled are practically worthless. back to the topic though, has Trafford ever actually played a full season at senior level? Seems like a bit of a gamble.

This is an interesting thought, I’d prefer we kept hold of our true stars and tried to shift some of our other players who might have a market. I’m think Wilock, I’m thinking pope, longstaff wilson.

Your post yesterday about getting good and not being side tracked by perfection is bang on.

Agree but Schar has an excellent fitness record, he rarely misses game. Don’t get me wrong we need a Cb but a starting Cb wouldn’t be my priority this window if our budget is limited and we starting players like Murphy (no offence love the guy but he isn’t quite up to it ).

Sign all of the goalkeepers.

I think the need this window for a right sided CB is over stated tbh Schar is perfectly fine. Still surprised this has been the focus on our window tbh.

I don’t believe that rumour tbh, and yes, if it were true it would mean we have to shift Wilson and get In a right back which seems like a massive ask for a club who are struggling to sign a centre half

I think that’s out of Hobson choice tbh, I think the archetype is clearly an Olise type from that flank.

We want to play with inverted wingers so we really need a left footer.

Prefer we spend less on both a winger and a centre half and keep both of them.

In lieu of any new rumours let’s do some hypotheticals If we were to just sign Guehi and nobody else what score would you give the window?

Gonzalez confirmed to Juve so he will have had to do some editing this week.

Anyways any new rumours?

Ding ding ding.
