What do you think are realistic aims for yourselves this coming season? I think the top 3 will be the same as last year, but obviously you've got to aim to finish 4th at a minimum.

Genuinely no idea. We are in real transition. It could be a monumental season. It could be monumentally disastrous.

[GTO-3R]

We will finish 3rd this season. You read it here first

Confidence lol. Wish I had some. We need a couple more players sorting yet for me but it's a slow process

Sorry Leicester Loyalist. But this a case of a Fiesta on sale for Ferrari money.

OK, so why are the mighty Man United buying a Fiesta? You’re Man United!

If Leicester sell Maguire to a big club at a low price. They’ll all soon be back for Chillwell, Tielemans, Maddison etc...& Leicester are not Southampton.

[ORD]

True. Southampton is a bigger club.

Replace Ferrari and Fiesta with Lamborghini or TVR or MX5 or M3. The point I was making was that the asking price for Maguire is massively inflated.

[MiniMan64]

Maguire for £80m?

De Ligt for £67m?

Eh.

Eh.

Something about the De Ligt transfer doesn't seem right. He wants to go, but the saga has just continued since Ajax lost in the CL Semi, and still not completed the transfer. There must be a host of clubs wanting to sign him, and therefore it would be a bidding war for the player.

I get the feeling its about Raiola and some agreement Ajax have to let him go cheap. Rumors around Raiola wanting a £9m commission fee that Juve are prepared to pay.

Eh.

Wages - De Ligt wants to earn Ronaldo money. He has gone from just over £10k a week at Ajax, to reportedly £350k (rising to about £425k a week with add-ons) at Juve.

Juve were trying ti hard ball Ajax after agreeing terms with the player, but not the club. Ajax want 67m, Juve were trying to get him for about £55m.

Overmars reacted on this yesterday: Ajax are wating for a bank guarantee from Juventus. Transfer fee is about € 75m

[BMW A6]

Officials at the club believe De Gea will commit his long-term future at Utd.

Bonnet de douche.

Pogba revisited if memory serves but never got the lucky break after Utd with a move to Juventus.

He was by far the best of them all and had the potential to be one of Uniteds best ever midfielders. Just nothing between his ears sadly.

[BMW A6]

Very young looking Pogba, Lingaard, Morrison and who's the other?

Yep, but I think the first part is probably an overstatement. Time has shown he was nothing like that talented, hasn’t it? Maybe that’s unfair.

He had a couple of good games at West Ham if i recall correctly, Makes you wonder what goes on in a young mans mind when they really don't seem to be arsed to keep giving 100% to become a great of the game & Morrison definitely had the talent.

Talking of Talent , What is the hold up with big Harry Mc ? Surely you want him ready for the start of the season.
