We shouldn't be signing players who are winding down their careers. We need young talented players who want to be here.

I agree with what you are saying but I'd make exceptions for the right player (not Bale) who would both contribute on the pitch and possibly more importantly raise standards in training. Just look at the impact Beardsley had 2nd time around and even more recently the impact of Trippier.

The fact we managed to sign players of the calibre of Trippier and Bruno, when we were sat in 19th position makes me pretty fucking excited for the summer.

I can't wait for the summer and talk of £50 million is nonsense, to put that in perspective £45 million would roughly get you Targett and Botman. In the last few days of the transfer window we had bids in for Botman, Carlos and Ekitike that far exceeded £50 million. The owners have mentioned winning trophies in five years time so I fully expect us to have a team to compete between 5th and 10th place next season.

 

One thing I'd like Howe to do is to put down a marker like Keegan did in selling David Kelly after he was the top scorer in our promotion season. That was a brilliant move by Keegan as it sent a strong message that standards were being raised and if you don't keep up then you'll be out. It also signalled that Keegan meant serious business no matter how popular you were as a player. Possibly not all together but I'd be happy to see a few from Lascelles, Wood, Willock, Fraser and Dubravka shown the door.

Yep looking forward to it more than the January window because from here on in, we'll be bringing quality players only, and we can be far more strategic about our recruitment as, hopefully we'll be established as a Premier team for ever.

I'm not saying this to be contrarian, but I've never understood the Pogba hype. Maybe I've just not seen enough of him play?

 

I remember watching him when it was the Juve/Barca CL final and not understanding the hype then too.

 

I don't watch Man U much, so I only see the headlines complaining about his effort and attitude. Headlines are often wrong though, so if he is world class I'd be happy to see him here, provided he fits in with Howe's plans.

 

The fact we're even talking about this is mental considering we had to watch Colback week in week out.

 

 

 


He was unreal in that Juve midfield with Vidal, Marchisio, and Pirlo. Which may have a lot to do with the fact that he was in a midfield with Vidal, Marchisio, and Pirlo. :lol:

Is it?


Yes. Bruno mentioned a couple of times that we will try to get a Champions league spot next season, and that’s how the owners convinced him to join. So it is more like being in the top 4 next season instead of top 6. A world class goalscorer is a must to achieve that. Wilson has scored like a 100 goal in his entire career, and he’s 30. We should get a better striker.
