So if the transfer window ends with utd having no more signings, would we classify the transfer window as successful?

I wouldnt be sure of it myself tbh, we have a really good team but still missing players tbh

Signing the one position that I believed would make is a better team, a DM, makes it a success for me anyways.

Spelt his name wrong big deal. Doesnt take away from the fact he said we had bid on lukaku as he had inside info

I've just been on the phone to Ed, he's a mate of mine, he said we have put in a bid for Bale.

We had a bid in... so what

We could have bids in for Lemar, Mbappe, Sanchez, Johnny flippin Evans and Renato Sanches right now...

We're not favorites to sign any of them right now in the same ways as everyone had Chelsea as favorites to sign Lukaku up to a day before we signed him...

Christ on the morning the deal was done a lad at work says Lukaku deal is done and i did a double take when i saw it was United he'd signed for... i believe that was the reaction of 95% of all football supporters..

Why in the hot fcuk are we debating whether or not we wanted Lukaku. Surely people have realised hes a United player now? I mean he has 4 goals in 4 games?

jayo26

I still think we have done very well this summer and don't see how it as not a success. Our two most important signings were to replace Carrick and zlatan as first team starters we have done that.

We need goals from wide players yes but we can only judge 3 games and it looks like Martial and rashford have up it a small level if that continues we should be ok.

Mkhitaryan seems to be out of the blocks early he has 5 assists in 3 games and pogba is playing better.

Even if city sign Sanchez he won't steady the defence they are already favourites in my eyes he won't dramatically improve them as I don't see them playing him and aguero in same team.

Even if pool get lemar and vvd they still have a small squad that's gonna be stretched after Christmas and vvd wont stop them from been poor defensivelyon his own.

Season has started well all we can do is keep going and one month at a time.

So with that you are agreeing that from the outside looking in, it looked as if Lukaku was going to Chelsea not united..

And you have already been shown up that you have stated on at least 2 occasions that you believed he was off to Chelsea.

You're bull****tin

Yea but was i shocked he went to united? No. Its been on the cards for over a year. He was even on holidays for most of the summer with pogba talking in his ear.

Jesus Christ the whole point of the matter wasn't about ****in you! Or whether you were shocked. You could have saved pages of debate by just agreeing with the truth instead of dragging it out.

It's one of the reasons very few people take your posts seriously!

No - the point was from the outside looking in Lukaku was going to Chelsea. That's it. That's what you have been arguing against.

So I guess he's not nailed on for city now and would be entirely unsurprising if we signed him. #lol

Fergie wanted Sanchez before he left Udinese. That and him being proven premier league quality makes me surprised the club aren't back in for him.

I don't think we are. I think Jose would have hinted at it before now. I think he'll go to City for a high fee.

Lord TSC

I think he wants that Pep reunion and just can't see us being able to dissuade him from that

I'd say it's similar to what was reported on Lukaku - we are interested and would move if there is a legit chance of getting him. Reported we only made an actual move for Lukaku the night before the bid was announced after riola told united the Chelsea deal wasn't going anywhere.

The Metro jumped on one paragraph in Delaney's story to create a headline that's all about the clicks really.

This is the paragraph from the Independent story

That urge to leave saw intermediaries get in contact with Manchester United to see if they were interested, and while Jose Mourinho would want the player, the 28-year-old’s first choice remains City due to his previous working relationship with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona.

Sky are saying sanchez will go to city, sterling will go to arsenal and Arsenal will give money to city as well!!!!!!! Cant see that happening, if it does the arsenal board need their heads checked. Then again they did bid 40m and 1 pound for suarez

Bouhfasi saying we have some interest in Mahrez, but the player isn't going to push for a move.

Seems we are getting linked to a few right wing minded players tonight....

Lads..the source on that is Miguel Delaney...

Still waiting for us to sign James, Perisic, or for Mbappe to go to Real Madrid, or for Eriksen to go to Spurs or how about Lukaku to Chelsea

And that's just in a 30 seconds google of things of he has not called correctly in the last few weeks. But hey, fling enough muck and all that, maybe Sanchez will go to City.

The story I read was that riola told United on the Tuesday (iirc) that Chelsea were dragging their feet and that Lukaku would sign for United if a deal could be struck - united bid and agreed the deal within about 24 hours of that.

That was one story.

Another is that Lukaku was basically agreed way before then - but you'd have to wonder what was going on with morata if that was the case. Why piss around with Madrid for a month if we already had Lukaku basically done?

I believe Lukaku was a higher priority target, with some work done, but no major move until everything kicked into gear on the back of riola telling united the deal was there to be done, at which point we switched from morata to the player we wanted more.

I’d be well happy with Mahrez as a realistic option. Juan Mata on the right wing (which he never actually plays on) is driving me insane. Let Mata and Mkhitaryan fight it out for number 10 duty. Lots of games for both of them there. I couldn’t think of a more perfect player for a Jose Mourinho right wing player who is available.

If someone (Arsenal) buys Mahrez and he turns out to be amazing this season I’d be bulling. I think his delivery from crosses, set pieces, and corners alone is worth £40 million to us.

There’s no chance of Sanchez or Bale being sold to us now. Mahrez and the likes of Lemar are the only realistic types of players.

pjohnson

Mahrez is left footed like Mata and he does dribble inside quite a lot aswell. 23 goals in two years didn't come from staying glued to the wing which is apparently what we need.

DM_7

Would be delighted with Mahrez. Amazed nobody bought him yet.

Ain't going to be any more signings but Mahrez would certainly be a good one imo.

Discodog

More about Griezeman. He personally phoned United.

Id take Marhez in a heartbeat I know Juan is a forum favorite but do think he would be an upgrade and he'd really fill out the squad well>

Not sure where everyone will play when Greizman signs next year.

Shadowcomplex formation anyone?

I think mahrez would, if he performed, possibly block a Griezmann move. Unless mata was then sold and mahrez benched for Griezmann. Coukd see mata sold, but not the rest.

I'd say that's off the Miguel story, MEN is rubbish, imo. I would be surprised if agents hadn't reached out to United but I'd only perk up if it was arsenal offering him to us as I reckon they'd far more easily accept a bid from city over us, they see us as a bigger perceptual problem to sell to, imo.

I'd love to see us move for Sanchez, but would be shocked to see us pull it off. Also the fear he would take the place on the left, rather than if mata on the right. I would not want to sacrifice rashford or martial for him
