Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III

[Felwin]

Ah Dozer. I knew your hard on for Sancho would get you pumped into football director mode this morning. I'd love to see our squad when you're finished with it with about 10 players left. Oh and you'd be failing homegrown rules too.

The thing is, I and many others would agree with those outgoings. But who is the replacement and do you trust United to get it all right? These things are done in phases. Also, apart from Antony there aren't any Ten Hag signings in your list so I'm assuming you agree he's taking us in the right direction?

Malacia's there too.
Casemiro has done well for us. Eriksen too.
The others are new signings.

Replacements... buy other young players. We don't need to replace all of them do we? Why do we need 5 right wingers?
United may not get them right, but I'd rather risk it on new signings over continuing to play guaranteed crap.

We can get in 10 players. Easily. We got in 7 this season.
A couple of new centre backs, right backs and a left back - that's 5 new players
We don't need new central midfielders even after these exits. We will still have 7 for 3 positions.
We don't need new left wingers.
We need a couple of right wingers. We need a centre forward. That's 3 new players.

That's a total of 8 new players. Assuming no youth teamer gets promoted we still have 2 players per position. And managers always say they want only 2 players per position. So this isn't a light squad.

Looks like we're interested in El Ghazi to plug the holes left behind by Sancho and Antony.

I had no idea who was tbh cos he's so unremarkable. He was pretty shite at Villa. He's 28 and has no club so would be free.

Glory glory Man United

Ffs, just give the youth a chance instead of bringing in a mercenary.

All this talk of Kane - we couldn't afford him. The transfer fee was not much higher than Hojlunds. But a bigger issue in FFP times is wages. The annual cost of the Kane deal compared to Hojlund is huge cos Rasmus is on a lot less. Wages are arguably more important than transfer fees now cos it contributes to the overall cost of a player.

Financially getting Sancho off the books is more important than the fee. It'd be nice to get 30m for him. But getting his 19/20m wage off the books is huge.

In hindsight signing Kane would have made things worse. We wouldn't be competing for the title and he'd only decline like casemiro in a few years. Kane is the kind of player for a team that's one step away from challenging for a title like the league or the UCL. Like how Fergie signed van persie.

Yeah agreed. We're not there yet. Also locking him in on a 4/5 year deal on huge wages would be a killer - especially when we have Varane and Casemiro. Both need to be fit and/or perform to justify the yearly outlay.

True, we're still a long way off. But patience is needed. Rome wasn't built in a day...nor Fergie's success.

[JoelfuckingGlazer]

I find it difficult to buy into anything we do.

Fergie's success was built upon solid foundations and patience, but against a backdrop of a collective will to be the best. That will, vision, purpose isn't there any more. We don't aspire to be the best.
