If Coleman goes , the money could be used to invest in that Montoya and Deulofeu and possibly money left over. Time to rebuild I think.

The problem is I'm not 100% won over on Martinez ability to spend the money wisely. He has brought two in that have been good, McCarthy and Besic, one big money who I'm happy with but at that price hardly a bargain and some very questionable older players, frees and contract extensions plus some blatantly obvious mistakes like not getting a creative winger/Pienaar player when any fool could see that was the most important position we where lacking.

I'd like Carl jenkinson in the summer when Coleman goes

I think arsenal might want him back.

Not being funny, but a media rumour that Man U are looking at Coleman has turned into a dead cert he is going,how much do we get, and who do we get to replace him thread.

It will take a few off seasons to strengthen. But we fan't keep losing our top players though as said above we are going nowhere. We lose Coleman and Mirallas this summer. Barkley and someone next ( as an example). Going nowhere constantly filling gaps rather than strengthening.

Know what your saying, but whenever there is a rumour about one of our best players going we end up acting like a woman going through the menopause!

Err less of the stereotypes please mate - as far as I'm aware I'm the only ageing female currently on this thread and I'm one of the most optimistic

25mil+ is a lot of money for a right back, Shaw is English and they can get a decade out of him so of course a bit more based on potential.

Mirallas isnt signing an extension. Thats pretty clear.

If it was me, I'd sell them both +get in Depay and Deulofeu and possibly Byram.

Thats a bit more phenomenal.

That would be phenomenal if all that happened!

I have to laugh at juvenile suggestions that Coleman will go because he was Utd 'fan' as a lad. As a factor in any decision he might choose to make at any time in the future I would suggest that would be at the bottom.

Being an Evertonian apparently made a difference to Baines when he was faced with a career choice but he is an unusual character anyway, wouldn't expect it would factor much for many players.

Mirallas is a Real Madrid fan but wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at A. Madrid one day.

Rather not spend 20m on Montoya he is quite average would rather try get a younger player for cheaper and imrpoce them, Christie, byram etc

Christie from Derby?

Looks a real talent.
