Stories are that United are in advanced talks to sign Justin Kluivert. Interesting considering the ITK we have had on him. Unless we are walking away and moving on to other talks - or it's a load of crock.

I agree with giving Onomah and Edwards preseason to see if they can be worthwhile squad additions, which is why I don't think we need serious surgery. 2-3 additions should give us all-round selections to fight on all fronts. Malcom, Sees and a tempo setting CM who can break the lines when playing against banks of four.
Would just be a novelty buy if ManU did and they'd ship him off in a year or two to another club where he would come good at. I wager they'd also have to ship out for 2 of Rashford, Martial, Mata, and Lingaard or risk mutiny in the locker room since they all compete for the same minutes and most out of position now that Sanchez is there. I also don't think he'd find much luck with us getting ahead of Son or Moura. I think his best play is staying at Ajax another year.

Would be bizarre as at the moment they can’t fit both of Martial and Rashford in the side, and Kluivert isn’t currently better than either.

If that's the case, whoever is advising Kluivert deserves to be sacked. He's got no chance to play under Mourinho, especially after the Sanchez purchase.

How good is nabil bentaleb doing at Schalke?

Read somewhere couple weeks ago that he’s been out for a few games, not because of injury but problem with the head coach... He really should be getting a lot of minute with Goretzka leaving instead.

I would love us to get Dembele(being as this is a wish list thread) from Celtic but not the one you are talking about.

Every top club in Europe is watching this kid, and he has already played for Celtic's U20's.



Not convinced he can do a cold night in Newport though.

I think we need to take some harsh decisions if we need to move on to the next level.We really need to get rid of some players , to make space for new ones.

If we can get rid of Sissoko, thats the first thing to do. But something says,Poch is not going to sell him...So, he is not in this list

No 1 : Obvious one is Vorm. He is out of contract in summer.
I would go for Nick Pope or Heaton from Burnley. Both English, both good enough to be Lloris backup.

No 2 : Lamela : Controversial one. More than ever, out of form & injury prone. It is to be seen how Moura plays in RW. If he does even reasonably well than Lamela, he should be sold. Malcom for Lamela out be perfect.

No 3 : Llorente: The most obvious choice in the forward department. We tried a good potential signing like Janssen - didnt work. We tried experience in Llorente - didnt work. I would like us to go for someone like Leon Bailey. Other option is to look at PL proven players like Rogriguez, Austin, Wilson, Deeney but on a younger side than Llorente.

No 4 : Rose: I would sell Rose, if we had the chance. And buy Sessegnon ofcourse. While Sessegnon plays more forward nowadays, I think we are covered in LB/LWB position with Davies, Rose & Jan (worst case).

No 5: Trippier: Sell Trippier & give the chance to KWP as backup to Aurier. Dier or Foyth could come in & do a job in worst case scenario. I would invest in a signing that would cover Eriksen & Dembele. Squad desperately needs it. Someone like Kovacic or Forsberg or Maddison.

I’m not sure anyone will want Rose in the summer tbh.

He’ll be a major risk with this on going knee problems the price we’ll want.

May I ask why we have to get rid of Vorm?.

You mentioned a couple of keepers you feel would be adequate back up to Lloris. This may well be, however, they will cost money to sign, Vorm will not and I suggest is adequate cover for Lloris.

Now of course if Vorm actually wants out, that is a whole different thing. Why would we let his contract run out if we are to cut loose?

Moving on to Lamela. Out of form you state.

Sorry, I truly am, but please...what a load of bullshit that statement is. What you basimg this on 2 cameos in the past year+.

If this is the case why spend so much energy aiding his rehabilitation, should've sold him straight away...form dived.

Hilarious.

Seriously mate, I don't often pull another on what they post, but I couldn't let this one go.

Sorry.

I presume people are open to ridding of Vorn because his contract is up in the summer, not so sure, to me he's one of Poch's favs, very dependable keeper when he's called upon, never complains and is a key character in the dressing room. I wouldn't be upset if we lost him but based on those factors it wouldn't make much sense.

And he uses up a non-homegrown slot.

He’s 34 ( I think ) and out of contract. Let him go or put him on the coaching staff and bump Gazzanga up to second choice with Whiteman as 3rd choice.

We also save on a non homegrown player too

I think the majority say let Vorm go and get an English trained keeper because at the moment we have three foreign keepers and it causes unnecessary problems in our squad make up for CL and PL.

Isn't Pau Lopez out of contract at the end of the season. I think some ITK's were suggesting that he is likely to return in place of Vorm but things may have changed.

Well sorry doesnt cut it for Lamela, even when used twice :)
I am all for him to stay if he does well between now & summer. But if not, why not move him as he doesnt do enough and injury prone and get Malcom who can play in multiple places behind striker. We have bought Moura in RW and Poch when talking about him said he has to compete with Lamela. In case, Moura gets the better of Lamela , then you can't complain if we sell him. Time is running out like it or not.

As for as Vorm, I would love to keep him. But club hasnt given a new deal. So, I am just stating the obvious that he will leave, unless club offer him a new deal. And replace with English keeper so we have a extra spot for a foriegner

Thats exactly why we may have to move him, if we have the chance. Just for a moment, think what happens if Davies suffered a 2 month injury ? Can we rely on Rose ? Unfortunately no is the answer. We have to see how he gets on till summer. If he keeps having these issues, club has to move him on and get someone like Sessegnon.

If Davies has a 2 month injury do you reckon we could rely on Sessegnon?
