Why are you obsessed with trying to sell Pickford

We should not sell Lookman or Pickford under any circumstances if we wish to break the sky 6, money wise Pickford is now worth £90 Mill plus alone after the world cup, United turned down a bid of £92 Mill 2 years ago for Dr Hey from Madrid

He won't no one would touch him for the money it would take. He has had 3 good WC gaames and an average prem season, no one will pay 60+ for him based on that.

Everton paid £30M. A decent first season in the PL and he was one of the best GKs at the WC. In this climate that is easy a £50M player.

No one would pay it though, surely even you can agree with that. Very few teams even could and then, out of them which teams actually need to? I can confidently say he is going no where.

If one of United, Chelsea or Arsenal move their keeper out he becomes a likely choice. Just needs one to move. Cech on his way soon I reckon.

No way Pickford will leave this season

Still think our midfield needs work if 4-3-3.

We are desperate for both a deep lying passing midfielder to keep us ticking over

They signed Bernd Leno for £25m, still have Cech and Ospina.

Haven't they just signed Leno? Don't see a PL club coming in for him this summer at all.

...which is how we have the likes of Siggurdson and Klaassen on our hands. Unshift-able dead weights sucking the life out of the wages column.

You wanted us to buy Siggurdsson!

Gamble £40M to £50M on a player hoping he makes the club £60 to £70M down the line?

I've nothing against him, I just dont see a player with his low-yield in terms of goals and assists as value at this price. He's just not.

Hand Celtic the extra cash they want for Tierney and let's at least do one thing right this summer.

Interestingly he was a player in rich form und was Silva at Watford - With the majority of goals and assists secured whilst under Silva.

He is a real prescence on the pitch and bullied Coleman at Goodson, appreciate he may not hit the heights expected of him immediately, but he’s a young exciting player who contributes off the ball to the team with his physique.

One last point is that he’s had a season of the premier under his belt. For me the lad is a big improvement on Bolasie, plus we won’t see Gylfi out wide any longer.

Good business for me, the price arguably too much, but it’s what we’ve had to pay.

Factors in our manager can communicate fluently with him in his mother tongue, will help Riccy settle in. Could be a fabulous buy.

Kenny was full back against Watford at Goodison, Coleman not returned from injury.

Bolasie to Leicester rumours surfacing.

Good point this, rather spend too much on him then bring another dud over from Europe who dosent settle

People saying Schneids isnt good enough are hillarious. When he came here he was our best midfielder, easy, and played to a standard non of our other players at the time could even get close to. We still have no midfielders playing like he did his first 6 months, because he is leagues better than Davis, Beni or Gueye when he wants to be.
Like him or not, when playing to his potential and skills, he’s probably one of the best footballers we’ve got. Skills arnt his problem, its his head. If Marco can get him playing again, selling him would be idiotic. Give him until january, bring in a loan player as backup should he down tools again, and force him to play out the rest of his contract with the reserves if he doesn.

Schneiderlin, along with Keane, Williams and Bolasie, should never play for the club again after the performances that he put in last season. He's a fair-weather fart who doesn't want to know when the pressure is on. I imagine that's why Mourinho wouldn't so much as have him on the bench.
