40 million is cheap .. lets be real here ashley doesnt pay over the odds for anything... a billionaire that wears the same shirt everyday
 
Time will tell, but I think Man Utd will regret all three of the signings quite quickly. I just don't see how any of them are the calibre of player that are going to take them from top 6 to top 4 or challenging for a title.

Not bad players, but Man Utd seem to be spending a lot for relative mediocrity.

What 3 are these mate?

£80m for slab head is daft money, but he’s way better than what United currently have, so it is what it is.

They should pair him with Bailly and stick with them, allowing them to form a partnership imo. I think they’d complement each other well those two.

He'll make a decent signing for you lot in 3/4 years time imo :bandit:

A lot of reports are saying that United have had a bid accepted from Leicester for him, Apparently its a world-record Fed, aim not bothered to be honest, At least I won’t be seeing Phil Jones in our defence next season.

£80m.

Is he worth that, Matth?

Or is he going to be yet another expensive mistake for you?

They’re more the kind of signings that Fergie used to make than the signings of the managers who followed him. Yes Fergie would sign already proven players but arguably some of his greatest transfer successes were players that he elevated to a level they weren’t supposedly capable of achieving. OGS is a good example. I’m more comfortable with the current transfer plan than the scattergun megabucks approach of recent years.

Why didn't Utd (or any team) trigger Alderwiereld's £25m release clause ? Must be something going on there that we don't know about.

I didn’t know they were even linked with James tbh.

Slab head and Wan Bissaka are both good additions

Those two are better, James for £15mil is a speculative gamble. If he turns into Giggs then they will laud it as an amazing transfer. The likelihood is he either gets injured or fails and Man Utd somehow recoup most of that money from a club that likes to make the occasional nonsensical buy when they have a bit of money (ie West Ham).

The most positive thing about the transfers is that they are British. For our national teams it means more European experience. For them, if anything happens in future with Post no-deal Brexit registrations then they will be ok.

I just think overall Maguire and Wan Bissaka are not even close to the narrowing the difference between Man Utd and Liverpool or City, even if we are solely talking defensively.
