No way - not sure what it is, but I can't stand the guy.

Yeah, fair enough he's got plenty of that.

Klopp - yeah, I like him, he would also have been good at United I reckon

Yeah to be honest i'd prefer him, has a good club spirit and trys to give the club a family vibe.

Oh well, hopefully Moreno will cheer up next session

Klopp has the 'likeable factor' and always seems a happy cheery sort

Jose is Jose, full of attitude but you do have to admire his winning record at every club he's managed, he's also got the '*****' to be at United, no shrinking violet
there are a lot of clubs out there who'd love Jose as their manager
I fancied Simeone, maybe after JM

I think the Spirit and togetherness of United's team was there for all to see Weds

I didn't think about Giroud, i do like him he puts away some good goals, not sure if Vardy is what there looking for, but i do like him as a player, comes across abit rough though not sure if he would fit in at united.

I don't think he's the best player going around either (Vardy), but he's hungry, fast and doesn't mind dishing it out if he has to
The real deal is Dembele, if he could make it, players like Vardy and Giroud would be there for their experience and give the younger players a chance to mature
but you never know it's sometimes the players you don't fancy that come good, who would have believed the amazing return we got from Ibra last year

I do like Giroud. No pace though. But that didn't stop Ruud VN - one of the greats at Utd. Giroud is a proper centre forward. Cannot believe he doesn't get more time at Arsenal. In the end, I think Lukaku will be a sensible option, but the money is silly. They see us coming and add zeros.

Agree with Lukaku, think he's lacking supply at Everton. With the supply and back up at United think he would score loads of goals.

Window not even open for another 4 weeks and I'm bored of it already the BS just ramps up in the press. It's not like the old days when they'd be pretty much spot on if they splashed it across the back pages.

I remember the Mail doing a two page spread on Edgar Davids coming to United and what a formidable partnership he and Keane would form lol

If united had signed Shearer he would of had so many goals, Beckham would have put have the ***** on the end of your foot.

Anyone heard anymore news on signings? Alot of rumours going around one about bale, not sure on that.

RIP Cheick Tiote, way too young to be taken

Bale is staying at RM, or so I heard on TV ??
I like Van Dijk, but it looks as though he's off to the Dippers

so who have we bought so far:
Victor Lindelof - £31m

who else is on the radar to come in:
Lukaku, Matic, Rodriguez, Donnarumma ?, Ibra

Possible leavers:
De Gea to RM (this time)
Rooney, Jones, Carrick, Shaw

I thought we might have jumped in for Van Dijk, but Liverpool seem to be back on his case

Carrick just signed a one year extension less than a month ago

De Gea looks to be staying unless we use him as part of a deal for Morata,Bale,Ronaldo

We bought Lindelof so no need for Van Dijk

We need to keep DeGea, he's won us a serious tally of points

Matic looks like his arrival is imminent at £40m


A straight replacement for Fellani ?

Not overly excited by this signing

They'll replace him with Bakayoko who I'd have preferred at United tbh, seems Matic is Maureen's third choice of a holding midfielder .


Morata better be coming

Thoughts on Lukaku ?

Yes i'd have taken him but along with Morata, we need 4 front line strikers.

I hope Pereira gets his break through this season
