    You don't think anyone will take De Gea off us? Really?

    And Lukaku, I think the club would happily take a loss on him as they will still make a stupid profit on Pogba.

    Stick Sanchez in the reserves and pretend he doesn't actually exist and it's all gone away, those are the four major culprits.

    Too many. None should be is the answer <ok>

    The rest have partly downed tools because they're not given the same. Big problems mate.

    They're the main 4. The trouble is the rest of your squad is terrible, you need a whole new back 4 for starters... I can't believe how bad it's got. Smalling, Jones, McTominey, Young, Shaw (cba to list more) are just nowhere near good enough.

    Without the lure of CL football your only option is huge wages, dangerous times. The rest of the season is huge for Utd and it isn't looking good.

    You know all this anyway, no need for me to explain it!

    We need to get away from signing stupid big names anyway. It’s proven to be a bad transfer strategy.

    No point having scouts all over the world if we end up buying players like Lukaku, Pogba and Sanchez.

    Nah, Chief has it more or less right though I would replace de Gea with Martial as a problem (I think de Gea still shows enough shame at letting goals in to show his problems are more home related than club), I would also get someone to tell Rashford he is not a kid anymore, he is a full international in his 3rd full PL season and needs to take more responsibility.

    Not sure the CL bit is 100% valid, although what is valid is that a lot of players will pretend that it's important, which adds to the ludicrousness of giving Ole the job at that point.

    Waiting till season end focuses on valid targets.

    What I (genuinely) hope though is we're going after the likes or Rice and Maguire, for example.

    Ergo, not going to be getting their cocks out over being in the champions league.

    Stated Martial to be a problem right there.

    De Gea, however, is one asking for €300k a week.

    You're probably right tbf. It's the ****ers that seem to expect CL football you're best off avoiding.

    Might take a couple of years but it needs doing right this time.

    Is Rashford stalling due to money too?

    He's being ****ing daft if he is, he has the platform to become a club legend. Even if he shares the same barber as Mr T.

    There's 6 teams who are fighting for 4 places at the top of the league. I cannot see Man City finishing outside the top 4 and Liverpool seem pretty set for now which leaves 4 teams fighting for 2 places. In honesty the teams who finish 5th and 6th this season are just as likely to be in the top four next season as the ones who sneak 3rd and 4th as there's little in it and they wont have CL games to have to contend with. I'd argue with any assertion that Man Utd are somehow a lesser draw for a player than Tottenham/ Arsenal/ Chelsea irrespective of the ending positions this season.

    So it's basically a glorified SPL now?

    I said something along those lines before going to bed the other night. Woke up with dead fish ****ing everywhere.

    United in a predicament now.

    Go to spend some serious money but do they trust Ole to do so?

    He’d almost certainly just spend it on lube for ****ing off Ferguson.

    Other than Pogba and Sanchez... none <ok>

    Then look at our next highest outfield players
    Lukaku £200k should be sold
    Mata £140k finishing now.
    Matic £120k
    Young £110k finishing now
    Valencia £100k finishing now.

    And I've not heard anything about Rashford kicking up a storm but he's on fcking £45k so I wouldn't begrudge his worth is more when the likes of Darmian are on £60k.

    Same with Herrera at 75k is a piss take paying Young £110k.

    It's not the extortionate salaries of Pogba or Sanchez that are the problem it's the whole wage structure. Makes fck all sense. And creates the atmosphere of players feeling aggrieved.

    Martial and De Gea ‘earn’ about £250k a week apparently.

    De Gea is on 200k and assuming he's leaving I just said outfield players.

    Martial is on 75k
    Lingard on 50k
