Tbh Rüdiger has never looked convincing in a regular back 4 apart from patches in the Sarri season and few games at Roma. For Germany and under FL he was a disaster . He is a proactive defender who likes to step outside the back 4 to win the ball early and that is just suicidal in a back 4. Not even speaking about his driving runs into the opposition box. 
With 3atb when he vacates his position and gets run past by an attacker, there are 2 others tidying up and no one notices the mistake. In a before the attacker runs into acres of space in behind and you look like an absolute tool. This will be Toni every time. If we plan to go to back to before I don’t mind him leaving at all. 
transfer update on sky Germany stopped short of reporting everything being agreed with real but talks have taken place and you can bet they offered him some crazy wages already. Club should not be held to ransom 

I don't post often but just wanted to say Lampard is absolutely delivering those improvements in the last 2 months, long may it continue, he seems to learn from his mistakes and improve upon it, top class manager in the making. Don't think we have enough for title challenge but easy top 4 finish and QF in CL would suffice for me this season.

Why cant we play in our classic blue ? Hardly clashes with them.

But on the flip side wasn't he saying similar about Pulisic this time last year? and look at him now.
I think it's a lot different to the KDB situation. Firstly KDB was not getting game time at all, Odoi is, it may be pretty much exclusively off the bench at the minute but he's still appearing in pretty much every game, secondly a further two attacking midfielders were signed on top of Mazacar trio when we should have been giving KDB further exposure, on this occasion we've let two wingers go and only brought in one (although that maybe down to the fact we had more pressing needs in terms of strengthening).

United do not need Havertz. They have Martial as CF and Greenwood as a right winger and they paid big money on Fernandes as a AM. Havertz would sit on Uniteds bench most likely. Liverpool could use him as a AM, but they do not have the money for him. City depends if they reach CL, but he would sit very likely on the bench too. Only if they sel KDB or Aguero, he might have a chance

I agree. These posts trying to downgrade Ajax just to make the point that we suck in big games yet are bizarre. Ajax are clearly a club of great relevance in the history of modern football and one of the top European sides of last season. So based on history and current form they are clearly a big club. Obviously if we focus on 1998 to 2017 they were a bit underwhelming but that would be somewhat artificial. 
We were much cleverer in that match tho and still conceded more chances than today. Utds are a side that are only good at defending nd suck at creating chances so last thing one should do is gift them easy goals. Once you fall behind it is virtually impossible to overcome their bus

here it is
 
starts at 2 10 (warning it is in Portuguese BUT use the subs and you can see it is accurate, as Portuguese is not that hard to read)
on edit, he was having a laugh (I forgot to add that on initial posting)

I just have a feeling it's going to be Jose. 
 

I still think if he goes there, huge fee, superstar wages the lot, he will be seen as a direct replacement for Ronaldo. And yes he will struggle to make such an impact as Ronaldo managed to. I see him making a similar impact to Bale more than anybody else tbf and to be honest Bale has done reasonbly well for Real so wouldnt be all too bad but I really think their fans and the Spanish media will see him as a Ronaldo replacement and expect him to try and make the difference up. Even Bale who has done very well there, having a goal every 2nd game basically, scoring in finals, winning a lot has endured a mixed reaction from their fans and the media so it wont be plain sailing. Its 100% happening though, although I wonder if Barca would be willing to rival them for him I think hed suit them better.

Tired of all this talk mate and it seems that the media and the opposition fans have once again turned your head upside down and made you see whatever they want you to see.
Exactly like Mourinho did last season when he underachieved with the most expensive squad ever assembled. "If it wasn't for all the missed chances..." - this is what I kept hearing during all last season from Mourinho and United fans. Somehow Mourinho turned their minds and mislead them into thinking he did a great job, but players let the club down by missing chance after chance.
Wow, what a great logic this is!!! Let me tell you something - if every club would put away every goalscoring chance they have, even WBA would finish the season with 100+ goals scored. 
Every team misses tons of chances during the season. We've scored 85 goals during last season. But did we have only 85 chances of scoring? Or 90? Hell no, we've probably had 250+ scoring opportunities. What if we had capitalised on at least 80% of our chances like Mourinho kept talking about? We'd have won the league title by February... But this "If it wasn't for all the missed chances..." was only a United thing last season because Mourinho and the United fans were the only ones that kept talking about it. 
Like they were the only ones missing chances and others were scoring with every shot on goal...
It is exactly what is happening now with Matic. We've all wanted him out of our starting line-up for two years now. How many of us have asked for his head, especially after EVERY SINGLE match against a big team in which he was completely useless and got exposed everytime when Chelsea faced a decent set of midfielder? Matic is a decent option to have against lesser teams, but he is of no use against big teams.
But this has no relevance now that he is at United and United fans keep spouting absolute shite, with some Chelsea fans biting the bait every single time. It's like they've signed Iniesta's heir and we're left with a poor man's Charlie Adam.
"Wow, they let Matic go and replaced him with Danny fucking Drinkwater! Haha" - it's something coming from the United fans, that you hear and read everyday now. When the truth is we've replaced Matic with Bakayoko and Chalobah with Drinkwater.
We've replaced Matic with a younger and better version, French league title winner and UCL semi-finalist at only 22, playing in a two-man midfield. Exactly the tactics we use. 
Drinkwater for Chalobah - An England international, former EPL winner and Kante's former partner in a two-man midfield, to sit on the bench and act as a back-up only.
Chelsea have not signed world beaters, but at least they are players to fit Conte's philosophy - Rudiger and Christensen (basically feels like a new signing) have played in a three at the back formation at Roma and Gladbach, Bakayoko and Drinkwater have played in a two-man midfield, Zappacosta is a wing back, Morata is versatile and not only a target man.
But when some listen too much to the oppositions fans taking the piss out of hate and envy, reality gets disrupted. Afterall Chelsea have won two out of the last three league titles in England - time in which United were always deemed as favourites to win it after assembling the most expensive squad in football history.
