With pre-season training starting in less than 3 weeks...
...this is the current state of our first team squad

I bet City and Liverpool are shitting themselves.
It'd be a farce if we don't have most of our business sorted out a week before training starts. We need the team to bond and get used to each other. It's essential they are all there from day 1 and go on tour together. Quote:

Build a culture, bring in 1 or 2 top players a year and get back on the right path. 4 or 5 superstars is not going to fix anything. We need players who are desperate to play for the club. Then when the ship is steady we can nourish it with world class talent. Most great teams are built on a solid foundation with a gritty spine. We don't have anyone who fits that bill. |

That’s quite different from a ‘cull’. Which was never going to happen. We simply can’t afford to replace half the squad in one transfer window, it’s absolute fantasy land stuff. |

He also said in a couple of interviews that he wanted new players in well before the beginning of pre season. So we're either in for a very busy couple of weeks, or Ole's going to be disappointed. I'm going for the latter. |

That's not even going into the money that could be raised and wages saved by offloading many squad players that we just do not need, or Lukaku and Martial. Even if we have to pay a portion of their wages for a while, we'd still end up better off financially. It would be ruthless and brave, but looking at our squad it's very hard to argue that it's not an urgent requirement. Unfortunately we have a soft thick @#%&! in charge, so it's never going to happen. Quote:

Perfect storm for Ole, the only players with any talent their attitude stinks. Can't offer champions league to potential signings, and wants to steer us away from the mercenary culture but our only unique selling point is wages. Don't envy him, managing Manchester United should be the dream job but it's just a £#%&!ing headache.

It is also why James couldn't officially sign as he is registered with Wales FA. |
