Swap for De Gea.

They're stupid enough to do it too.

Ooh, something shiny!! ....

What we sign a player a club that finished 24 points ahead of us last year doesn't want any more because they're buying better younger players?

Looks that way. Don't want Matic at all tbh. Find him very one paced. He's a good player but he's not what we need.

FYI you better do it as im going to be £#%&!ing relentless in asking you until you do. Come on, get it done...

Matic and Perisic, yeah Mourinho is in charge.

I did complain about the club and the panicky statement signings pre Mou. These are more grounded targets who will come in and do a solid job, probably what we need, domestically at least.

Not very sexy though.

Yeah buying a player who our manager knows who's already proven In this country is stupid. We can't afford one of our key signings not hitting the ground running.

It's difficult. I get the Matic link because he is experienced, but he's not the type of midfielder I like to see.

Given that we aren't likely to be able to get a Kroos, Verratti or Koke, I guess we have to try and get the next one before they explode. But tbh I dunno who, probably Wiegl from Dortmund, or take a punt on Goretzka from Schalke or Tolisso from Lyon.

As for the older heads, Pepe and/or Thiago Silva would make sense. Could do with some experience and know-how in midfield, but tbh other than maybe Mascherano if they're selling, I dunno. If I wasn't fairly sure his legs had gone, I'd have a cheeky ask about Cesc

I think a simple 'no comment' would have been better tbh.

Parters and I go way back, pal. Bloody years. Wouldn't dream of it.

Obviously I don't really know who the £#%&! to sign. It's much easier to just sneer at other suggestions/links imo.

He just seems too non United now with all his time at Arsenal and Chelsea, I really dont want us to start going down that road.

Yep, all great suggestions. Particularly Weigl. I'd love Goretzka but he's off to Bayern. I agree that we need Fabinho plus someone more creative who can put their foot on the ball and make things happen. £#%&!ing Matic is not that person. Not my type of midfield player at all really.

Totally. Can't wait to get stuck into some of the "Mou-style" donkeys we sign.

Kind agree, it's just he's always been a low-key favourite of mine. Brilliant footballer. He's one I sometimes wonder if LvG had managed to land him from Barca in 2014 what a difference he'd have made to the playing transition

But again, I think his legs have gone now anyway.

Does seem that way. A few denials but usually when that smoke shows up they're in Bayern before long.

I reckon Guardiola will go for Weigl.

You, unless you're a natural athlete too much football too young leaves you £#%&!ed like the pisspots of the 70's & 80's who's careers were done for 30.

Yep. Aguero perhaps one who's managed to sustain it, albeit with injury issues. Was playing for Independiente when he just turned 15

Wear and tear on a still growing body is no good

"Monged it"

More than welcome. World class beast.
