The North Remembers - Winter 2018/19 Transfer Thread

At least Ashur cites his sources now. He went for years posting articles in their entirety on different forums going back to soccernet without citing where they came from.

 

Rashford showing why he shouldnt be spearheading our attack.

 

Pogba replacement

 

Did Milenkovic played ?? Mou also keeping tabs on him aswell so who knows.

 

Sergej and Milenkovic, a 6'5 CB are the likely targets Mourinho is looking at.
Not sure what this has to do with Dalot or Valencia. Not to mention eventhough we know that Mourinho can easily pick a fight with anyone, but a fall out with Dalot seems unlikely. If anything, Dalot looks to be in the same boat as AP. Both players should by any reasonable logic be a bigger part of the rotation, yet for reasons only Mourinho can explain, they find themselves shunned.

 

I never heard of Milenkovic being a RB, so I did not get how he'd correlate to our RBs in any way, form or fashion....
Besides, the obvious obsession with Mourinho for a CB, in itself explains why he'd be looking at Milenkovic. As long as he's in charge, he's clearly not letting this issue go...

 

He may get sacked but if he finds us a good CB before leaving it would be a blessing. I dont rate Jones rojo smalling and will wait to see how Lindelof and Bailly performs under diff manager rather than passing early execution.

 

Is it weird that I am fine with Mourinho staying for a while. We need stability, we need players to step it up. He ll need to change his system. He realizes that a bit without him saying it.

 

Yes it is weird. Because he's shown nothing in 2+ years that backs up keeping him. Were currently off to the worst start since Moyes took over and he's working with a much better squad than Moyes had. Its inexcusable and he's shown zero signs of progress. Even last season we didnt play good football. We were just defensively solid and our conversion rate was way above the mean.

 

Turn over is not good at this point. No good will come out of it.

 

How will no good come out of it? How can you possibly make such an idiotic declaration?

 

Time for both to put up or shut up. We heard the same nonsense in the summer. Buying United quality players in January is near impossible so it won’t likely matter anyway.

 

Not trying to speak for Jeff here but we absolutely must get the next manager right. We have failed the last 3 times in hiring a manager. We need to be proactive not reactive. If we hire a manager now for the sake of letting Jose go we will be in the same position in 3 years time.

 

It's the type of managers we've hired, not the turnover that's affected us negatively. It's bullshit to think there aren't managers available now who can make a difference with the pieces we have.

 

I would rather the club linger midtable for a while but willing to build a foundation based on the club’s past philosophies, those of attacking football and never say die attitude. GTFOH looking for stability from Mou.

 

Fully agree. I've said before that I'd be happy to miss out on Europe and face a rebuilding year I'd it meant we could develop an attacking style and get some structure back in the club.

 

Not buying in the summer because you don't trust your manager and then panic buying in the winter for the same manager (after a dismal half season) would be the perfect encapsulation of Woodward's idiotic tenure. Zero thought or planning going into anything more than seconds in the future. Mou is only half the problem, if that. Letting Woodward continue to run the football operations of this club is a deathwish.

 

I think given the wide WIDE range of takes on what we are going to do in the winter, the only thing I'm solid on, is that nobody knows what we are going to do.

A cheeky bid for Toby would be on the cards and I think a bid for someone like Skrinar or Romagnoli would make sense too.

 

DDG issue is not finance but United overall ambition as club , We are in dire shit hole limbo where we have to spend money to show we mean business but we are not sure who wil be our manager come next season and how will the signings fit into next manager plans when Jose gets sacking.
