During Ferguson's best period, United only added one new player ever season.
Imagine last season's squad, plus Lamela, Moura and Onomah, plus one proper top drawer signing, like say Kovacic. That would be pretty fantastic.
1 year youngerThough he's still 2 years younger than Grealish, who plenty of people want to come in as a homegrown squad filler.
Kovacic is category 3 and is therefore priced by Madrid accordingly - they want circa £80m for him.
We need to target category 2 and 3 players but as they cost mega money we do not appear to be prepared to buy them.
At the moment the strategy appears to be category 1 players and bargains - this needs to change.
I'm pretty sure, because the account is suspended now.Not.sure.if.serious
Except they’ll all be in the US...enjoy the refreshments though.
(Still not sure if serious...)
That was what the entire coaching staff thought about Kane too. Just sayin'....In my View Onomah needs another loan, personally dont think he will make it here.
I think he will be PL player not a top one.

To win the league and CL I think there are 3 types of players the club are looking at.
1. Young players who are fairly raw but with big potential. Grealish probably falls into this category as did Dele at the time we signed him, maybe Eriksen too. We should keep looking to do these deals as they clearly work for us but don't expect instant results and therefore to achieve our aims of winning the league and CL, 2 and 3 are all important.
2. Young players already showing serious ability with huge potential. De ligt, pulisic, Dybala, martial probably all fall into this. The issue is because they are both seriously talented and young, they cost mega money and in many cases the clubs simply won't sell at all.
3. Experienced world class players. Higuain, bale etc. Again mega money required but in many cases not as much as category 2 and results should be pretty instant.
So you will see what should be the key targets for us, will pretty much always cost serious money.
There are exceptions though such as Lucas who in today's market, I would say we got for pretty much half his true value.
Not so imminent impact....

Joao Moutinho going to wolves for 5m. Wow.. remember how many times he was supposed to be the perfect CM we needed.
He's still only 31!
Swapping Monaco for Wolverhampton!! One hell of a culture shock!!
At £5m, it would almost be worth signing him to train Winks and to bring on late in CL games to help close them out. Surprised the price is so low, unless he has had injuries, which I dont remember him having. He's 31, not 35!
Tick tock, tick tock....17 days to go....
It's that Jorge Mendes link, he'll probably be on 500,000 a week.
Indeed. It's just a different market to most.Slanderous comments
They pay market rate for everyone
