PSG are spending £200m on a single player and our club can't even buy a couple of wing backs and a midfielder. 😞

Not sure I can see United spending £200m on Bale + Lukaku in one summer. It would take their business to about £300m in a single window.

Mbappe can go and slot straight in to Barca's XI in Neymar's vacated spot. Who is he knocking out of RM's XI? The club and Bale himself have been very clear that he's going nowhere this summer.

Would be a a great signing if he can keep his head. Conte doesn't tolerate any shit so I wouldn't be worried about him.

The sad thing is we probably won't even panic buy good players, either. We'll wait until the deadline day and panic buy/loan a couple of painfully average players that will barely play and be sold a year from now. It's actually incredible that the season starts in mere days and we have yet to sign 2 new wing backs. Knowing for literally months that they're a priority position of need. Our club is great at getting good fees for players we sell and all things sponsorships/business deals. But when it comes to buying players and doing so in a timely manor they're terrible. United and City got a bunch of players in early and they've also played a number of matches more than us in their preseason to bed them in. They'll likely be able to hit the ground running. Morata will probably enter the Burnley match having played about 90 minutes total. Rüdiger likewise. Bakayoko will take a bit to even see the pitch. Any further signings will take time to settle. Just super frustrating. I can't see us having a nightmare start or anything like we did a couple of years ago but won't be surprised if we lose/drop points against both Everton and Spuds in our first 3 games.

The football gods are trolling us.

Yeah, there's no chance Captain Cahill is getting dropped any time soon.

Neymar was desperate to leave, kicking up a fuss, and physically fighting with teammates. Plus he's got a greedy agent/family guiding him. Hazard is too classy and mature to pull shit like that. Barca can probably go out and replace Neymar this close to the season. No way we'd be able to sign an adequate Hazard replacement at this point. If Hazard does eventually go we'll have to have it planned out in advance and a replacement in hand ahead of time.

They know there's zero chance they could bully a club like us into selling our best player this close to the season starting. Plus, even with the Neymar money, would Barca be willing to spend the £100m we'd ask for Eden? I'm not sure.

I hope that happens, then. I think Barkley would be a good signing assuming he settles in and actually plays. Same with The Ox.

Just can't understand it from any angle except for Neymar wanting more money. Joining a nothing league and a a club that are basically the Man City of France. No one really cares about PSG outside of France. They have no better chance of winning the CL than Barca do. I could understand if he went to another historically giant club like Milan/Juve/Bayern, but PSG? They'll win their weak league by 30 points and every season will be seen as a total failure unless they win the CL. I mean, they had Zlatan scoring bonkers numbers and they still didn't get that close to winning it. Were Barca just unwilling or unable to pay anywhere close to what PSG are offering him in wages?

As with Renato Sanches, I think the club would gladly take him but I'm not sure either player would agree to join us because they'd be in rotational roles. Barkley in particular can just stay at Everton and play the majority of their games. He'd probably be competing directly with Cesc for his spot here.

Seeing a lot of the same thing on Twitter. Also things like "He was an absolutely vital part of Chlesea's team last year. One of their best players." I think he'll do very well initially but his shortcoming will become apparent as the season goes on. He's a definite upgrade on Fellaini and Carrick at his age so I still think it was dumb to sell him there. He's not going to elevate their overall level like all their fans are now saying. When they play quick passing, highly mobile midfields theyll struggle.

Don't know why anyone bothered watching him against Liverpool. Ancelotti shut the door completely on him leaving, didn't he?

Exactly what I was thinking. He'll probably go to Milan, tear it up, and help them win/challenge for the title and then start kicking up a fuss after not enjoying his off the pitch life. Knowing Milan are loaded now I really hope the club can get a respectable fee for him. Not the laughable fees that Atleti were supposedly offering.

He'll turn 31 during the season and isn't better than either Willian or Pedro. Don't see the point of it at all. I feel like if we're after another winger he should be a clear upgrade on what we have. It's not a priority area that needs money splashed at it now. Wait until next summer and join the Ousmane Dembele competition.

I'd rather sign this Danny D

Honestly, I'm not sure i'd even have him on a free. The numbers I'm seeing on Twitter are a joke. There's no way this is even an option. Someone trolling the media. We'd (deservedly) be laughed at if it happened.

My noose is ready.

He was awful last season as were most of Leicester's players. This is a joke, right?

Both Manchester clubs now have excellent depth in midfield. United have Pogba, Herrera, Matic, Fellaini, Carrick, and Fosu Mensa to choose from in the middle of the pitch. We have Kante, a Fabregas who will unfortunately struggle against good sides, and Bakayoko who's injured. Surely, surely the ONLY way we'd have let Matic go today is because something is done and dusted. Unbelievably stupid by the club otherwise and I refuse to believe that they're stupid enough to not have this already planned out.

Hope we know what the fuck we're doing...

Abundantly clear that Sandro isn't happening now. We just have to hope that the club bring someone in. I doubt there's a clear upgrade available at this point like Sandro would've been, so now we just need to bring in some cover/competition for Alonso. Still think Alonso will be a significant Achilles heel against the top sides.

I'll bet we make 1 more signing before Burnley.

Huh? Pogba and Herrera are both excellent technically and Pogba is one of the most creative midfielders in Europe. Herrera is very tidy on the ball and does the simple things well.
