Jose's signings

He is only been here a year and already he has changed the spine of the team..

Bailly, Lindelof, Pogba, Lukaku and and a new midfielder to follow, all these players 24yrs old and under and yet posters still say he never gives young players a chance......... I can see us running away with the league next year.

It's nice to see some balls in the team - team has become far to soft over last few years.

Lindelof 22
Bailly 22
Pogba 24
Lukaku 24

Spine.

Hates youth though.

It's youth team players he's not great at developing and trusting

He's bought plenty of young players over the years

Think he's planning on sticking about otherwise we would have bought a fair few players hitting their prime. He's buying top quality young players and José ain't the guy to be buyin players that will benefit the next manager.

All eyes on TFM, Tuanzebe, Lingard and Rashford then. all of whom he seems to rate.

Pogba doesn't count as home grown. Wasn't here long enough was he?

No matter how he leaves us the squad will be stronger than at any point in the last 3 years, won't be anywhere near as hard a job as he inherited.

The PL count him as home grown in their squad list. I think they may work off seasons rather than calendar years which is how he qualified.

36 continuous months before your 21st it is. Lukaku is but Pogba isn't? God knows I'll have a look when I can be arsed.

He does seems to speak highly of Joel Pereira.

Didn't know about Andreas. Nice one

Another attacker and a central midfielder, if not this summer then possibly January, and the squad is talking shape nicely.

Need someone for the right up top, for me, and a proper midfielder to add to the pool. Pereira should stay as an option...

Carrick
Fabinho/Bakayoko/Matic()/Dier
Fellaini
Herrera
Pogba
Pereira
Mkhitaryan

Would look a good mix of options and provide ample cover, with TFM and Tuanzebe that could play there in an emergency.

Do need to offload a few though..

Someone to play on the right or someone to play 'right at the top' ?

Greizman for the right Jan/next summer. Will be between Rashford/Maat/MickyT until then I reckon.

Wouldn't be surprised to see someone like James Rodriguez come in, can see Mourinho wanting a real number 10, and he's one of the few available. Still only 25 as well.

Pogba definitely home grown according to this. I was trying to work out before how he meets it but frankly if it's good enough for the PL then I can't be arsed.

The team looks strong and powerful for the first time in years.

Lukaku
Poggers
Bailey
Lindeolf
Tone
Rojo

And having the likes of Fellaini(yes I know)will prevent us from being bullied in games like Stoke away

Plus with the slick CL types like mata,ander,Miki the team is now looking near complete.

2-3 signings away now
