I'm still betting that neymar stays with Barca.
These PSG stories remind me a little of the infamous Moyes window.
I still think we should be in for Sanchez.

I came back on after a few hours ecceoecting 5- 6 new tweets only to see 35 new transfer tweets, got all excited, realised none are about us....
This transfer window is beggining to suck
This transfer window is beggining to suck
100% agree. I don't understand why we're not in for him. In addition to what you mentioned he's got pace and is great on the counter attack. Instantly improves us.
If they both go to PSG it's such a sad state of affairs for our game.
Have I been moaning that often?fecking broken record
These fecking transfer fees are batshit
So true. However, as good as Neymar and Sanchez are I don't see them causing quite as much of a sensation as we did when we signed Fellaini.
City may very well end this transfer window having spent about £250m on defenders alone over the past few years. Hard to wrap your head around.
£100M on fullbacks.
None of these current managers are in Fergie or Clough's league, they have to have every single thing catered to them to get the job done, Fergie took average players and made teams that won titles.If rumours are true, and PSG sign Neymar and Sanchez, could we take back Di Maria on a decent deal?
4/5 of their starting defence will be world records in their position won't they?
which is the max you can have really haha
Would you want him back? Rat.
Absolute joke of a football club and a manager. Hope they win feck all and baldy gets the sack
£100M on fullbacks.
Yes it's sickening, and we can complain about it sure, but if this continues and Pep gets all his wishes then we need to be concerned. Our neighbours are paying whatever fee it takes and they are signing some very good players, while Jose is saying he will have to settle for 3 players as 4 is unobtainable.
They have to be aware that they must be pretty close to Mbappe´s breaking point. They are literally selling the whole team. If Neymar goes to PSG, it only makes sense to throw in the towel and take the 150-180M from Barcelona.
It's madness.
Stones £50m
Walker £50-55m
Mendy £50m
Danilo £30m
Ederson £35m
Bravo £18m
Otamendi £30m
Mangala £42m
Depends, if you could get a deal he was well able to change a game. Would be a lot better under Mourinho than a possession style.
Fergie is GOAT or top 3 at worst to be fair. Mou and Guardiola at best are top 10.£100M on fullbacks.
Kompany still the best of the lot
It seems to me that our gameplan is to just hope Rashford and Martial develop and some think Mkhitaryan will be our Hazard/Sanchez, personally I think a rude awakening is on the horizon, people seem to forget we finished 6th and were awful for months last season, we've not done nearly enough to address the poor attacking options.
It's crucial they don't sell Lemar and Fabinho. Losing two midfielders and left-back is manageable.
Any truth to the post?
And why 50M for a soon to be 29 year old makes no sense when a similar 23 and 24 year olds are "kinda" available both appearently wanting to play for United for the same(ish) price. OK that would be all three expressing an interest in United, to be fair, but you get the point.
Agreed.
I am happy to hope for some organic improvement, and we should expect some, but the bare minimum had to be add a top class right wing option to the squad. I don't think there's a player in our squad who's best position is right wing, it's a weak position that we can sort whilst still allowing plenty of game time and development for our other attackers.
We are ourselves could be spending £100m on just Matic and Perisic.

It's who Jose wants and that's all that matters.
In fairness, if we ran a poll right now, I don't think you'd see many people selecting us for the title. There seems to be a general recognition, even on here, that we are still a way off in terms of the squad, and that the gap is now unlikely to be bridged this summer.
Mother of God...
I thought it would be obvious I wasn't serious. I guess not!
PSG looking good to sign Neymar and Alexis? Dafuq? Who gave them the cheat codes?
Really hope they flop, they're going for the CL, just pray that it goes tits up.

Exactly. Subasic, Jorge, Glik, Jemerson, Raggi, Sidibé, Touré, Lemar, Fabinho, Moutinho, Falcao would remain a strong core group to which they have added notably Tielemans, Méïté, Mboula and Kongolo, not sure Mbappé should run away from this at 18 in a world cup year. They also have talented young players coming back from loans who can be interesting for some turnover (Saint-Maximin and Lopes). Losing Bernardo Silva is harsh but the rest is not that worrying and Monaco are still after high potential young wingers.
I agree that there is more realistic views here than usual, often pre-season sees peple get caught up in a flurry of shiny new hope, but the lack of top quality additions to an attack that was the poorest of the top 6 has resonated, but you still have plenty that think the players that failed us last season are going to have huge turnaround's and that we'll be in the hunt.
Agreed, I'm not sure what team some people were watching last season and I'm also unsure what makes them have such high hopes for the above mentioned players. There's a lot of brutal clubs around at the moment, clubs backing their manager with insane fees to strengthen. Given they were all generally ahead of us already, now is not the time to be hesitant. If you're going to pay that money for pogba/Lukakau, you need to go all in and back it up with players to share the load.
