Hold up, Diop was considered a top prospect 2/3 years ago, well before he went to West Ham. No problem with him signing for us whatsoever. Would be an improvement on Jones/Smalling/Bailly/Rojo straight away. We've done the whole "buy big" thing for the past few years and I don't think it's really worked out for us. Unless you're referring to De Ligt, in which case I think PSG offering 350k a week might swing it.

Yeah, let's go out and buy big. Worked wonders for us over the past five years. Why change a winning formula? Any more Di Marias and Pogbas out there?
We can avoid paying 60m for likes of Diop and AWB, and that's through buying them at an earlier stage. Like we've done with James. But of course it shows a lack of ambition sniffing around Swansea and Leicester. Quite fancy Neves but he plays for Wolves so we should stay well clear. I'm not keen on dropping 60m on a player I've no idea about, but that's just money. As long as we back up with a couple of more established signings, I don't see the issue. Unless some think that James, Diop and Longstaff would be our only signings |

It's the feeling though that Manchester United are now after players from clubs we used to crush week in week out... Someone further up said these type of signings won't be our only signings. I'm not too sure.....make enough noises that this is fine now and you're staring at a smiling Ed and 10th place finishes.... |

What worries me is that whilst some are reading into it that we've "learnt our lesson" from buying the "superstars", I can't help but think we've just veered into a totally different direction whilst still not having much of a plan. Isn't that James kid yet another predominantly left winger? And I know we're being linked with full backs but considering we don't have a RB (Darmian doesn't count) we should really have made that a priority. Can't help but worry that we are in danger of spending all summer speculating and haggling blah blah blah but by the time the season starts we end up with Youngy running things from the fullback position again. God I hate football right now. |
