Frenkie De Jong to United 95% done!

I reckon if we'd have told Erik he could sign any one player in the world, this is who he'd have picked. Great work by the club.

Apparently Daley Blind has had a word and convinced him. Club legend.

Nothing will top Maguire being chased for a year. Maybe Sancho. I was sick of hearing about them both by the time we actually signed them. If we pull this off with relative speed then it’ll be a refreshing change.

Definitely the most frustrating.

He should have been here a year earlier

Probably would have saved Mou his job and won us the league with the squad we had around him at the time

Nope - that would be the Jadon Sancho 'saga'.

And look how he turned out...

Wonder what Blind told him? Well, the weather's shit, you won't be appreciated, the wifi doesn't work, but tbf there's are branches of Greggs everywhere.

The frustrating thing being Maguire actually signed.

So we spent weeks having to convince him to come and immediately go low on our bids to show him how much we want him 🤷‍♂️

him and fred in the engine room will be W significant upgrade.

we can fund signing an intelligent attacking midfielder and offset it against the proceeds of selling Bruno next summwr

Horrendous player. Very interesting to read back over old threads from before he signed and just after - lots of anti-sages.

Did Bruno sleep with your side chick or something?

I'd be happy with Fred and FDJ next season. We can't fix all issues in 1 summer. If we can get FDJ, a full back, centre back and a striker; we'll improve dramatically. Will the club spend £200-250m that it would take to achieve that? Feels unlikely tbh.

Bruno is shit.

it’s become more common knowledge everywhere but here.

i just hope we can sell him before his stocks falls like rashford who i voiced similar concerns about when people thought it i was crazy for doing so.

De Jong, Sangare, Timber and Eriksen for £130m (ish) would be a good window on paper

Pelestri, Amad, Garner and Hannibal promoted

Not having the Antony links then?

Still need to find a striker from somewhere, even a bit of a punt on potential imo.

You did backtrack on Rashford though after PSG during Ole’s temp gig.

Reckon he’ll do one more season at Ajax…

Would give us the opportunity to give Pelestri and Amad a decent look.

Agree on striker though… what’s Igalho up to these days?
