January Transfer Window 21/22

So we're going to be down:

Greenwood
Van de Beek
Lingard
Jones
Amad

Not exactly critical first team players (Greenwood aside), but considering our squad isn't exactly well balanced to start with, we're not going to sign anyone? Really?

Seems unwise.

Edit :: Martial too!

Ousmane Dembele would just be another Martial, but seriously injury prone too. Would be a potential nightmare.

Zakaria looked a good bet, but he's going to Juve.

Utd board have apparently refused to buy Haidara who Rangnick wanted (£33m).

French midfield guy, that narrows it down.

Probably means Boubacar Kamara, at a guess.

Rumours Henderson is going out on loan as well.

I'm fine with that. Heaton is decent enough as a backup.

Do wish we'd sign someone though... I feel like the squad needs a boost. Pogba coming back could be that boost if he decides to make an effort, doesn't really fix our weaknesses however.

What type of midfielder do Utd need? A DCM so Fred can actually play how he does for Brazil?

We need 2 types really. Someone who can play deeper and dictate the game (like a Verratti), and a defensive midfielder who can break up play.

The issue with Fred and McTominay is that they're good at running around but very average at everything else.

I dont get that dig by him tbh. He's joining a side fighting relegation and not joining a far bigger team looking to get CL football.

Bizarre dig to make.

Thought the same. Newcastle are embarrassing themselves with this stuff.
 
£40m for Alli? Maybe years ago. That is just crazy.

Sounds like Lingard is off to either Newcastle or West Ham. Good riddance.

Aren't Alli and vdBeek number tens? I wonder how Donny feels about that - another bench to warm?
Lingard leaving would suggest the United hierarchy had a modicum of competency - I'll believe it when I see it.

Van de Beek has played as a 10 now and again, but he's normally a bit deeper.

I have never understood why he never had a run of games, especially considering how poor our midfield is.
 
So Rangnick told Lingard he can leave, he hasn't started a league game in two years and is out of contract in 6 months, yet the board have blocked it.

Not a sign of any sort of joined up thinking...
