Man United need to buy essentially a whole new team. They need 2 new fullbacks, 2 new CB’s, at least 1 new midfielder, at least 1 new winger, and another striker as rotation for Hoijland. People call us a mess of a club and that may be true off the pitch. But we are in much, MUCH better shape as a club than they are and only need 2-3 new signings to complete our team.

Why Olise would want to go there instead of coming here I have no idea. And I’m someone who doesn’t even think we need him and don’t necessarily want him. I could understand if they had UCL football and we didn’t. Or if they looked like they were right on the brink of becoming a serious team whilst we finished 10th or something.

Yeah they are basically where we were 1-2 years ago. Admittedly its possible some players there could be good enough and just underperforming, they've certainly spent plenty of money, but it seems most likely they have spent big on duds due to how badly run it is as a club. Surely worst run club in the country (or maybe the world?).

olise would be a very good deal due to is age, potential and actual quality 

I would put more faith on him than madueke

If we get olise, we need only a cf, a defender and maybe a goalkeeper and thats it

I'd say a mid too. People complain about injuries, but we were one knock away from a mid table finish.

cant understand this part

in the midfielder we have enzo, caicedo, gallagher, lavia and maybe chuck and maybe the other french fella

we are very stuck in this area. I think we could get a creative midfielder but Im not sure of that

Olise is unquestionably an upgrade on Madueke. If he's available at ~£60m as rumoured and wants to join Chelsea we should immediately buy him and figure everything else out later. He's a total baller and we'd find a good spot for him in the XI inevitably. Icing on the cake is he's a set-piece specialist. Big question is whether he actually wants to be here though, given he didn't join last summer despite us apparently trying hard for him (even though I wanted him badly all summer, who knows if we end up buying Cole Palmer if we had got him? so maybe should be thankful for that...)

If we can get Olise at ~£60m and Sesko ~£55m as rumoured then imo that is a great all around upgrade to our attack and that is a pretty unbelievable attacking line up going into the season, albeit still with some questions around our situation at the back.

we already scored a lot of goals last season and if we can get nkunku fit plus olise plus another cf - I would prefer Alvarez - I think we would have a pretty decent attack

Yes, maybe it's OK given that we missed out on Europe... dunno.

On the other hand, Caicedo played a LOT of games this season as did Cole and Conor. Caicedo in particular has Ugo(?!) as his immediate sub.
Caicedo for ex is Ecuador international, and there is Copa America this year.

Conor situ is also a bit weird; is he going for a new deal or wants to walk free? If the latter, then reckon the club shouldn't wait.

If we sign Olise, surely this fraud Sterling is gone right? I don't want another season with this guy.

A goal scoring tally we did get by playing unbelievably open football that cost us a record number of goals conceded though.

What’s with these Colwill-Bayern links?  Makes no sense

Looks like his agent making noise because of potential interest from big clubs on him.

Wants assurances around starting position/importance and likely money to match? dunno what his current deal looks like.
