Did you expect anything else though?

So far this window has gone exactly how we expected it to. There won’t be any ambitious signings. Sorry to put the breaks on any excitement but we are just a constant disappointment in transfer windows.

Agree. I'm always suprised people are surpised every summer. We'll make 1 £60m-ish signing probably Eze, Semenyo, Kudos as that seems to be the template of the last few summers and then it will be bits and pieces signings, kids and punts. Only way we do more is if Romero or Richarlison go.

Us and Utd post Europa is going to be like us and Woolwich when we pipped them to 4th. Those clubs take it as a kick up the arse, we just meander on doing the same thing, CL or not.
 
I think Mbeumo and Cunha would start for us, or at least offer excellent attacking options for us. so I'm pretty jealous that United can attract that quality of player when they're essentially in the bin at the moment

TBF Regardless of whether someone rates them, they are signing from Brentford and Wolves. For both players they are sextupling their wages and joining a club that is (in the case of Cunha) still better at their worst.

I've never understood why Yanited need to bribe players so much money to join them. You'd think it'd be enough - if they were so attractive - to offer Cunha the same terms he's just signed at Wolves to play for them instead.

Not exactly like Birmingham is a lovely place to live, either.

We can attract that type of player. Just don't think we value them at £450,000 a week. Also think Solanke was exactly that type of player last year and scored more.

I don't think we'll play a lone 6 role, I think Frank is more likely to setup a double pivot and I think him alongside another DM under Frank's guidance could work.

Wharton isn't even a lone 6 at Palace either by the way, not many players can play a lone 6 successfully, requires so many skills and maturity.

I think both can grow into that role eventually though.

Stanley Matthew’s also played in the 40s

United more desperate than we are, a club of their size and history finishing 15th with zero trophies is beyond a disgrace.
they can ill afford finishing outside the top half again, they were beaten by us 4 times last season 9-3 on ag. their need will feel greater to push on, than it will for Levy who's line of thinking is probably
'if we had a better manager we'd have won the Europa and finished top 5 with the same squad' :levystare:
the man u board however probably blame a shit squad rather than a shit manager at this point so they'll pay high prices and high wages to turn it around quickly

Everybody’s body is different and you can’t use Casimeiro as an example if you don’t use Modric as an example. Guys like sonny have a bigger drop off because pace is a massive part of his game but for sitting midfielders it’s completely different.

The point is simple, a 31 year old carries a greater risk of dropping off considerably compared to a 25 year old.

We’ve no idea what’s in store for Norgaard but the risk is definitely higher, it’s irrefutable

'cos he's a #6...?

I sort of know what you mean with Mbeulo, because if the boot were on the other foot, ie: another club could offer CL football + his newly installed former manager, who wouldn't JUMP at the chance? and we could have no complaints., but that's US this time!

So you either have to assume it's just money.... OR Mbeulo loves Man Utd SO much as it was his boyhood club, and THEY'RE the ONLY Big Club he's consider (shame Darren Bent didn't have the same principles!!!) 🙄

....don't worry... Eze's coming!

He is a 6 that doesn’t play 6 and couldn’t lock that position down for Leeds in the Championship or for Spurs worst ever performing PL side

But other than that he is a 6

Then Levy is as thick as pig shit. Our squad has so many weaknessess it was not all just Ange had no clue and the fact that we do not have a second string is one of them it was a big reason we lost 22 Games.

I could understand it when QPR were signing players they had no right to (mark hughes era?) and paying them double their worth, but so backwards for united to be doing it whilst laying off general admin staff when claiming to need to for money reasons.

I'm sure it worked out for QPR though

if united dont overpay, why would any player go there? its a long way off from being how it was in 2010. they are also in a serious rut, you ainty going to risk going there unless you are being seriously caked up for it.
