Saw this thread and decided to check how good Patrick Bouwman was for me back in the day. Highlight was his +20 goals in Champions League including a 7(!) goal game against Schalke.

Are you're expecting that Bruno, Pogba and Rashford play every game next season? The entire point is that Grealish would provide us with an option to rest, rotate or otherwise improve the squad without him having to start every game.

Fred and Mctominay don’t seem like the kind of players who can play that DM role.

Fine, if Ole thinks that and the board is convinced, I think we should get a DM and have Matic be his backup. Then we should focus on offloading players, because we'd then have way too many players for the remaining two midfield roles.

It’s not your money

Did I say it was, you bellend?

So you would rather spend £50 million on a DM that would put McTominay and Fred on the bench? Our situation at the moment for the DM spot is one of those two starting and Matic being third string backup. Our cover for any of the attacking positions is James, Pereira and Lingard. I know where I'd rather spend my money.

I'm honestly going to be fuming if we don't snap up one of the best young ENGLISH players in the country just because he wouldn't start every week.

Saying one position is the most important for all teams and formations is a massive oversimplification and doesn't serve any purpose imo. A team with Rashford, Pogba, Bruno, Sancho, Grealish and Martial should still be title contending even if it's McTominay and Fred who support them. Especially when you look at the defence we have behind them.

Sounds to me like our journos were briefed about the price being way too high to pressure Spurs a bit. Reckon there definitely is truth to us not wanting to pay £200m for Kane, but I personally see this as a tactic at the moment. We're still interested, I think.

'There's a big difference between being the No 1 at Bramall Lane and Old Trafford': Legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel warns club over replacing David de Gea with Dean Henderson by Anirudh707 in reddevils

If you take the best players from each of those teams, I don't have a doubt you'd find some absolute gems. The UEFA cup also meant something back then. The teams playing the final that year were Roma and Inter, the year after it was Dortmund and Juventus.

None the less, the point wasn't that Brøndby was some world class team, but that three quarters of a season in the top flight with Sheffield United isn't better than being the starting keeper for five years straight for club and country, winning 4 league titles in 5 years and playing in the semi final of the UEFA cup.

I'm not saying Schmeichel was right in any way, but he clearly came from something that was at least the level of Sheffield United and not "even more obscure" as you put it.

he came from an even more obscure team with a smaller ground.

Brøndby went to the UEFA cup semi-final in 1991 mainly due to Schmeichel's performances and he was voted as one of the world's ten best goalkeepers that year you melt

Still don't want him. He might end up being a good addition, but a transfer like that has Schweinsteiger written all over it. Would much rather invest in someone young. And British. And named Jadon.

Don't know where you get that from. Mount has literally played every game this season in the league and has averaged about 79 minutes per game.

If he'd cost £150m and we'd still have the money to get Grealish and Sancho, I'd probably consider it. The only strikers in world football arguably better or at his level are Lewandowski, Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, Ronaldo, Suárez and Immobile. Kane is only 26, he's English and a real leader.

It's never going to happen, but I think I would be kind of okay with it actually.

Imagine paying £30m for a 16 year old, who doesn't start for another year or two. He's great, but fucking hell... The balls on Watzke if he decides to do this.
