Let’s look at those we’ve signed over the age of 28 in recent times…

Zlatan
Schweinsteiger
Falcao
Matic
Sanchez
Varane
Casemiro
Cavani
Ronaldo
Eriksen

I wouldn’t say any have moved the team or club forward at any point, would you?

It’s a fools errand. Let Kane go to Munich and find someone that can actually be planned around.

If Kane is available we should be all over it. Lewa is 5 years older and is smashing them in for Barca. I think Kane would rather stay in the premier league to break Shearer’s record

Is there any signings under 28 who have moved the team or the club forward?

A fair point. More chance of them doing it though, and more chance of getting some money back if they don’t, in theory.

About £200 million out on that list in fees alone .. absolutely 0 back in? Varane, Casemiro, Ronaldo still in of course. Casemiro aside, the summer seemed a bit of an about-turn for the better.

Leao looks the business to me, every inch a Utd player - I'd be very surprised if he stays in Milan for very long though. Their domestic stuff aside, it's not delivering much else in his career.
Leao can definitely be converted into a full-time number nine. Has the strength and physique for it, and makes great runs off the ball.

He'd be a modern, mobile no.9, not a back-to-goal type striker.

Bagged vs Celtic & another ruled out for offside. If he’s costing £55m that sounds like a steal.

Done deal with Chelsea by all accounts. Probably started negotiating when they let Werner go back for £#%&! all.

he's been replaced by Randal Kolo Muani (never heard of him tbh).

Another dream dies.

Mind you, that 10 million euros we owe Monaco if he wins the Ballon d'Or look relatively safe

Martial has pulled a schillaci and will be out for a month.
