    Rumours are Sesko is leaning towards Newcastle where he is going to get more game time than he would get with Manure, even with Isak staying
    Champions League is a big pull for him and he would have to wait another year at least, before Manure might or might not get back into the Champions league

    He goes there, he’ll fail. Comes here, might work out. Expect he’ll go there. This summer was almost designed to be about suppressing Newcastle.

    I think people are assuming Man United won't be vastly improved next season. The signings of Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko will br transformational and without Europe they'll be in the top 6 imo.

    Transformational you say? I swear I’ve heard that word before. Meanwhile Newcastle name the same starting XI for the third season in a row. Does make you think after CL qualification and a Crapabao Cup win “what’s the ****ing point?”.

    Also I couldn’t give a **** about Man U. We had a wonderful chance to bolster a decent squad and have completely ****ed it for whatever reason, bad scouting, poor leadership, etc.

    I agree with this. They will be our biggest threat to top 8.

    You're assuming those signings will blend and hit the floor running. Not something which their recent past or their recent signings suggest will occur. Nor does it address their defensive issues.
    Obviously, better than their doing nothing but by no way guaranteeing success.

    One thing about Howe is how he integrates new players into the team.
    Carefully building up their confidence

    Our? Mate we're going to be massively struggling without multiple signings.

    Villa sign a striker so no doubt some muppets will pay for Watkins who they've decided to move on.

    I don’t think I’d want Sesko now. It’s wasted so much valuable time. It’s getting to the point where it’s going to be embarrassing when he goes to them instead, we’ve offered a higher bid and we still don’t get him? That’ll sting, expecting it though.

    I love the ambition but we’re not at the standard yet to fend off these leeches. They’re like a fly round **** who just won’t go.

    This time tomorrow/thursday we’ll get a here we go: Sesko agrees to join Manchester United, bookmark this.

    Oh how I wish the Saudi’s took us over in 2008 instead.

    This is more of that reverse psychology malarkey, right?

    RIGHT?

    Sesko is the only player we’ve moved for decisively that we had a shot at getting, it’s the only one that time wasn’t wasted on.

    The rest of the summer and the past two years are bafflingly poor,

    Or we could’ve scouted better. Howe himself said “players have to really want to come here”.

    Hoping that one of the clubs goes back to them with an extra £10m.
