Not really surprised that we need to be careful with our money. I'd imagine we've already put a significant outlay into Poch, Kane, Sanchez, Alli and Eriksen's contracts(plus any others I forgot). If we sign before we sell then clubs will be able to knock down our prices just as we'd do to other...
To be fair, Dembele and Wanyama were in their final year of contract and I think Vorm was too. Toby wasn't wanted at Atletico and Trippier had a relegation release clause. Also the Davies swap was for Sigurdsson who was later sold for £45mill and prices in general have gone crazy lately.
I get...
Unless it meant Martial, or us being able to afford another significant signing, I'd much rather it was De Ligt than Toby or Bale as they would improve United far more than De Ligt would improve Cit(or we'd miss him).
That said, I would be sad if we missed out on De Ligt as we wouldn't get the...
You know the song wasn't specifically written about our 2018 transfer rumours, right? ;)
I agree with others, it's probably Toby, or maybe we're missing out on a player to one of the Manchester sides.
Most of it was written trying to see Pochettino's side but yes, I do think young players need to be more realistic, and patient, if they want to make it here. You're absolutely right that moves to Germany provide a good alternative, and it's certainly an attractive one for young players.

To be fair, Onomah was given a number of opportunities. It's hard to say that he wouldn't have had more either but iirc he chose to go on loan this season instead.
I totally agree with you on wanting to see more players come through and get opportunities but to play devil's advocate a bit and...
We'll have to wait and see whether the club will be busy early on but the ITKs certainly are. Thanks for all the info! (y)
Agree but there's always extra costs because they're more likely to go wrong and there's always a few Fazios, N'Jies, Janssens, etc.
We'd be mad to jack in the approach...
If you watch him for Wales you'll see that the majority of that is down to the way Madrid play. Their main attackers are quite separate to the rest of the team on the pitch. For Wales Bale looks very much the same player that carried us in our final season.
The deal seems impossible to do but...
