FFS all the systems are down at work so I'm sat here twiddling my thumbs and not even so much as a whisper today so far.

I think Rooney is going to have much bigger impact than most people expect.
He is trying to take the pressure from himself in any interview I have seen , I think he is trying to load it onto himself. He likes being the main man and wants that again.
I expect that in the new season the comments will be about his speed and fitness rather than the quality of his football..which has never been in question.
Later in the season I can see SKY really focusing on the Lukaku/Rooney swaps and looking at who got the best deal. I don't believe Utd ever considered that Rooney may be a bigger success than Lukaku, but I certainly would not dismiss the idea.
Can't see much happening now until after the Genk game a week Saturday.FFS all the systems are down at work so I'm sat here twiddling my thumbs and not even so much as a whisper today so far.
Not really an expert on him tbh, seems that he hasn't really pushed on as expected. Looks like he's on his wayout at PSV however, with our red neighbours named as one possible destinationHey @Dutch Toffee has Jetro Willems ever lived up to his potential? Do you think he could be good enough to push Baines for the starting spot if the staff don't think Antonee Robinson is ready?
I don't think De Ligt would be interested in joining up with Unsy's U23 squad. Make no mistake, he would get utterly destroyed in the Premiership.
They obviously dont remember some of the windows we had under Moyes, Smith and Martinez!
Oh granted, he certainly looks a talent. Lots of things can happen during his future development though. Also agree that Klaassen probably never will be really world class. As for the present time, he is by far the best signing we could make from Ajax. Sanchez, de Ligt and likely even Dolberg would be signings for the futureHaha yeah!
I'm just saying that those 3 will go further in their careers than Klaassen...in my opinion.
De Ligt is someone we could be signing now and loaning back to Ajax for 2 seasons.

The reason I specified Dolberg for a loan back, is both he and Ajax are on record as saying they want to continue his development there for another year. Hopefully he'll be playing champions league so it won't all be sub standard defences he'd be up against. I just see his stock, and therefore his value, at least doubling over the next 12 months. so what may cost us £30/35m now, could easily be £70/80m next year. Plus we probably have good relationships with Ajax following the Klaassen deal, so let's take advantage of that. He looks the real deal to me but then they said that about Bendtner tooHe may well have been doing so for weeks, but what tickled me was that people were popping their heads up at the exact time when he was bulletproof. Couldn't resist.
I like the idea and execution of Onyekuru signing and going off to Anderlecht for a season, Why not do the same with other high profile lads like Sessegnon for example? Dolberg I think he'd get a lot of value on the pitch with higher calibre forwards and defences than in Holland and would try and bring him and Dembele in now...watch them grow over the next 2 seasons and hopefully become a lethal forward line for us along with Sandro and possibly DCL/Lookman.
For me, we should be after those England u20s we bid for in Jan for the u23s (i appreciate weve got bowler for money) and keep adding the best into that category to be fine tuned by unsworth.
Then go for the future next generation superstars like Dolberg etc....we cant compete otherwise.
The squad was awful. We had no other choice but to do what we did plus I doubt we can attract 50m pound players.I agree to a point, but when you look at our team from last season, if I'm honest 7th was the best we could hope for with the team and squad we had. Although not 'wow signings' we have significantly upgraded our starting team and squad. Yes we could have instead spent 100m on buying 2 x 50m players. Would those 2 players of that ilk, improved the team more than the players we have bought. Also would these higher level of player even want to come to the club in its present state? I doubt it. But next year they might!
