Summer signings

[brap2]

Forget about Werner honestly.

If we get Lozano it would be an unbelievable statement signing.

And besides - we’re past statement signings, it’s all about the suave and savvy business blues these days.

Koke and werner are just not viable targets at all

Yeah I defo think we need to make a Lukaku type signing this summer where other people go ‘oh aye’. Lozano does seem to fit the bill.

Hopefully, unlike Koeman, he will keep the outcome of those conversations private.

I’m sure he will, he seems brighter, more shrewd, and not an arsehole.

Why do you think the press conference was so full of public praise for Rooney?

Too much praise for Rooney. Was kinda cringe talking about him being a legend.

I thought that at first, but Sam's (and a few others) post made me have a think on it.  Partially, it smooths over any hard feelings from any conversations the past few weeks along the lines of "sure, you have a contract here, but you are not in our plans and you won't be on the pitch" and even more, it makes it look like a fait accompli that Wayne is moving on, and he becomes the bad guy if he digs in his heels and tries to reverse course and stay.

[dunkster]

Too much over thinking and over doing it to be honest.
"Wayne has the opportunity to join DC and there's a good chance he might make that move. If he does good luck to him. Hopefully in the future he can come back in a coaching capacity"

That's all he has to say as far as I'm concerned

Has anyone mentioned Daley Blind in this thread? Left sided full back, centre half and defensive midfielder. 28 years old, so not bad age wise. I think he could be a good aquasition for a few years, contract expiring at Man Utd. Worth a punt? I know it's another Man U reject, but I think he could do a job for us. Reasonable fee of course.

Personally I wouldn’t mind fellaini back on a free

Sure, depending on his motivation/attitude.  Don't want a new not-so-Super Kev on our hands.

I'd be happy with Blind replacing RFM on the left side of the defence.

Wouldnt be totally against it but cant see it happening though as he'd want a wedge and is 30, both the things we're trying to move away from, really expensive old players.

[Waltzer]

Didnt realise Jonny Evans had a 3.5 million release clause, thats a bit of a bargain, although 30 again!

Even at 30 at that price a better option than mori or williams

[TheRam]

We’re in a completely different market to the like of Blind, Felliani and Evans though.
