We don't need to sell Rose to fund those though. Since the last transfer window, we have 16m a fee for Bentaleb and we have Njie, Fazio, Sissoko, GKN and Janssen that we can sell to fund a playmaker and striker. I honestly don't think there is an attainable LB even close to being as good as Rose is and it would be madness to sell him, even for 50m.
Ryan Sessegnon, but probably in a couple of years. If he'd be happy to come then I'd be well chuffed - he can probably do a job as a sub further forward too.
Let's offer players new contracts everytime they're linked with another club, that's a good idea.
I want no part of Luke Shaw.
He's missed about two and a half years of football and has now had two managers question his work rate and his fitness.
Also, tbf to the kid why the fuck would he come and warm our bench? That's the last thing he needs right now in his career. He needs to be playing matches, to get back to the level he was before joining Man U.
To be Bertrand's back-up?He should just go back to southampton.

He's going to jail to be someone's backstopTo be Alonso's backup?
Are you sure about that?He should just go back to southampton. Trouble is, I read this morning that his wages are £130k a week. Nobody bar 2 other teams in this league will pay him that in wages. Actually they both could do with a left back too!
feel very confident Rose will be here for a long time and feel like the best back up would be Ben Davies and then buying Sessegnon (idea with him would play further forward and bring him back in time).
Question ---- with Luke Shaw so out of favor with Maureen would it be worth bringing him in instead of Sessegnon as a back up to Rose (if the fee was low ish and he took a BIG cut in wages?)

TEAM NEWS: Danny Rose (knee) – Stepping up his integration into First Team training, with a view to returning to full training next week.
If we are still theoretically in a title race then he'll surely feature - if not, little point in pushing him back in too soon.I'm sure we've had a similar update on him every week for the last month or so.
Starting to sound like me might just give him the rest of the season off.
While we're at it with Shaw might as well put a cheeky bid in for Berahino at Stoke!
