Ole's shopping list

Every negative story about United is 100% true.

Our support has become a right bunch of mard arses.

Corriere dello Sport saying we have offered £85m for Koulibaly.

£87 m is way out of our reach though

Nothing to do with repeated failures at boardroom level in the transfer market and with player contracts and a squad full of useless overpaid mercenaries whom we can't offload, culminating in a second season from four out of Champions League competition, a 6th place finish above Wolves and 2-0 home defeat against an already relegated Cardiff £#%&!ing City. Never mind the fact that City won a 2.5 trophies and the bin dipping £#%&!s picked up the Champions League.

But yeah, what the £#%&! do we have to be mardy about?

Wish we were frustrated more by the $#*!ness of the players we keep giving contract extensions to tbh

It’s not necessarily true, but it’s all so believable because of the way the club has been run under woodward and the glazers. If the stories didn’t fit with the clubs pattern of actions over the years, people would be more skeptical. In fact, the papers probably wouldn’t even bother because the club’s image would be different.

It’s why they keep getting contract extensions. The cheaper option.

They ran these sort of bullshit "stories" when Fergie managed us as well, the difference is that we then instinctively disbelieved them.

Believable, as we're never getting De Ligt.

Starting to look on point...maybe switch out Felix for Fernandes if today's links are to be believed.

Obviously James to be added as well.

Palace holding out for 70m apparently?

Looks a really good defender whenever I've seen him. Really good in the tackle and very athletic. Hard to skin and whip balls around.

Not so great coming forward, but something he can work on, I'm sure.

A proper right back would go a long way to sorting a few issues.

It's hard to underestimate just how £#%&!ed we are with that redundant right hand side of the pitch.

So? He’s their player. Let them demand what they want, United wont pay it

just pay what they want long term its brilliant position covered top player having fast up and down full backs changes the whole game sell shaw

Dalot is better.....

So much better going forward and will only get better at the defensive side of the game the older he gets. Liverpool and city have both shown how important an attacking full back can be

Would much prefer we spend the money in other positions.

Haven't seen enough of Dalot in that position to make a judgment, because we flogged Ashley Young to death

Be great to have a couple of 21 years olds battling it out for RB

As well they should. 3 years left on his contract. They don't need to sell. Young, English talent, 10-15 years ahead of him. It's a sellers market.

If you're a Palace fan, you're saying 'you want him? Pay it or £#%&! off'

Strength in depth lads, I like Dalot too but what if he gets injured and it means Ash has to give up his natural winger role to fill in again. Would much rather Youngy doesn't have such constraints next season.

City dropped £50million each on a right back and left back a couple of years ago, so if the kids the real deal then it seems to be the going rate.

If anything, getting him in pushes Young further away from the team, and I don't think you can put a price on that.

50 million on walker
50 million on mendy
60 million on laporte
50 million on stones
32 million on Otamendi

240 million quid on just defenders.

Madness isn't it. Although can't say it didn't pay off for them in the past couple of years.
