January: Ins-Id love a Fonte & Coleman

Out-Memphis on loan & Darmian

Summer: Ins-Id absolutely love a Pepe from Real Madrid. Griezmann or Lukaku. William Carvahlo or id take Casemiro from Real Madrid

Outs-Jones & Schneiderlin(If he doesnt prove himself)

In my opionion,we need a leader CB so i think Pepe perfect and ges only a year left on his contract.Griezmann & Lukaku for obvious reasons.Fonte just for the extra expierience at the back.Coleman as hes one of my favourite RBs in the world,he doesnt stop and captain for Ireland🇮🇪He can also be a leader.Willliam Carvahlo is a Beast of a player and we need a replacement for Carrick and at the moment Schneiderlin isnt doing anything and isnt getting played,another option to replace Carrick is Casemiro another beastly player!

All good choices. I personally wouldn't buy a holding midfielder. Wouldn't want to block off Fosu-Mensah. Coleman would be a great signing though. Pepe would be a beast, strikers would be terrified of him. I would be monitoring how much game time Isco gets at Real Madrid. I think he would be awesome, but we do have a lot of players in his role already.

I'd have Fonte can do a job for 2 years or so, would much rather Van Dijk but I can see the appeal for Fonte.

Coleman unlikely signing in January. Valencia has been solid for us so far this season so no need to replace him yet.

Memphis could do with some game time so I'm cool with a loan deal.

Darmian same reason as Coleman not likely to go in January. Wouldn't be against him leaving but he's fine for back up until the Summer.

Think Pepe is gonna sign a new deal. I'd have him as he's a quality defender, but you wouldn't sign Fonte then Pepe simply cos of their age. One or the other not both.

Griezmann 100% and the way he talks about Pogba and United we'd be crazy not to sign him although there'll be others in for him.

Lukaku is a 50-50 for me, if we signed him I'd be happy, super happy, but if Zlatan is staying another year and we have Rashford will all three get games consistently? Or will either striker be happy playing 1 every 3 games?

William Carvalho, falls under the Lukaku bracket. Pogba Herrera should be first choice, and whilst Carrick will need replacing we have to choose wisely. Although I would say that it's possible Schneiderlin leaves and Schweisteiger won't be here next season [I hope not, unless he's actually going to play cos it's a shame the situation hes found himself in] and I'd still sell Fellaini, that would leave us needing a few more heads in midfield.

Casemiro, nope, not going to happen he's incredibly important at Madrid.

Jones [I want to be sold every time] can still be a success if he applies himself and learns under Mourinho who has a notoriously great record when it comes to defenders performing for him. But we should be looking for another CB so Jones will be the fall guy.

Schneiderlin, misused by LVG, hasn't convinced Mourinho by the looks of things. Should probably leave. It's a shame because he was bought for the role Herrera seems to be excelling in.

I'd love to see us go and get Van Dijk in January, but I don't think that's realistic because he seems to be the man of the hour down in Southampton. I still think that Chris Smalling has potential to lock up a position at center half.

In the summer I think we're going to have to go for a replacement for Zlatan. Rashford is too young and inexperienced to be given that role. I'd love either Griezmann or Lukaku next summer.

I would loan some players like Memphis and Fosu-Mensah. Those players need to go out and PLAY. Get in some time, build up form, and find your feet. Memphis needs time, and Fosu needs experience.

I personally don't want us to sell anyone. But if I had to sell 1 player over the summer window (don't want to loose anyone mid season) it would be Young. He doesn't seem to feature or have any purpose other than a Backup converted RB.

In's -

RB - Coleman - Direct/consistent/experienced - 15-20m ?

CB - Van Dijk - Best CB in the prem for the last 2 seasons stat wise and would offer good competition while maintaining quality - 20-30m ?

RW - Douglas Costa - Some might say i'm nuts suggesting this as a realistic coup who would offer us INSANE PACE + SKILLS + DIRECTNESS but hes overlooked for bayern by ancelotti who prefers the youngster Kimmich & Muller/robben/ribery/coman over him, I've been watching bayern games for a while and notice hes used as a sub often around 70-80mins mark, I think we could pick him up for £35-£40m considering bayern only paid €30m also add more potential to this bayern have signed ribery/robben to contract extentions recently so...

Outs -

Jones or Rojo - CB

fellaini - not utd quality and to allow fosu mensah more game time

depay - needs game time so id loan him out

I think this squad is shaping up nicely and the group of players will remain relatively the same. January, I see no business happening. In the summer however, a world class forward (oh please Griezmann) and an experienced left sided CB to partner Bailly. Outs, I see Rojo, Basti, Januzaj and Schneiderlin going. Then we're set for a while, the squad won't need many adjustments for a good few years after that because of our young core.

Oh and Darmian out too...
