[claretandy]

Dan James to Leeds, the fee is £30M, wow !

[kazza]

If we stay as we are, has this been a decent window?

7/10, sign Roberts and one more and it's a 9.

[kazza]

Dan James to Leeds, the fee is £30M, wow !

They spend 100 per season - they need to spend money, so give it time.

[TheFamilyCat]

Dan James to Leeds, the fee is £30M, wow !

I'm sure that at the start of the window he was said to be available for much less than that?

[Vegas Claret]

Dan James to Leeds, the fee is £30M, wow !

insanity

[DCWat]

If we stay as we are, has this been a decent window?

RW and CH were priorities, but for me so was CM. So, a pleasing window but not more than a 7.

[Newcastleclaret93]

If we stay as we are, has this been a decent window?

I would say currently a 5/6 window but if we can get a CM and a striker it’s a 10/10 window

An improvement on previous. And I know this is seen as the "happy clappy" view, but not losing our best players (again) is hugely important.

I can’t help but feel your scale needs re-calibrating.

Agreed.

[quoonbeatz]

Pays the Ronaldo fee doesn't it?

[Woonderbah]

You never know, if we have a great window then Tarkowski might feel signing a new deal is a good option unless his future elsewhere is already decided.. but signing players like Cornet can only help

[ksrclaret]

Collins and Cornet probably leave the score around 7/10.

If we manage any others tomorrow they each add another point on, providing they are in the Collins and Cornet profile and not the Lennon profile.

Definitely an improvement this summer.

Great business from United

[Newcastleclaret93]

I can’t help but feel your scale needs re-calibrating.

I’m basing it on improving the first eleven. I think Collins and hennessey are good signings but in reality this season they will probably not get a minute of premier league football unless an injury happens. So 5/6 out of ten window for improving the first team with Cornet but if we can just strengthen 1 or 2 more positions it could quickly jump to a 10-10 window

Was saying the same thing the other day. Fingers crossed

If we could just commit another £30m in transfer fees, to take spending up to the £60m mark and commit another £8m in wages per year on top of the salary increases for the new signings, then we’ll be 10/10.

Like I said, I think your scale might need recalibrating.

I think it’s been mentioned Christie is available 2-3m and Robert’s the same. That would be a 10-10 window for me

[jrgbfc]

30 million for Dan James is absolutely mental. Apart from pace he's got absolutely nothing. I bet United can't believe their luck.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Roberts has a good cross on him if I remember. 7 assists last season from FB/WB. Sounds solid but would add something.

[FeedTheArf]

I have absolutely nothing to substantiate this but I think we’ll make a move for Daryl Dike.

Young striker with bags of potential, struck me as a Burnley type player and has already had a taste of English football. He could spearhead the US team for the next 10 years so will help the new owners market us over the pond.

I can’t see Jay or Barnes going for it, but a cash plus Vydra deal could work.

I thought this. He’s been looking really tired though. Basically played all through summer.

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Deeney to Brum. Breathes sigh of relief

[dandeclaret]

How are either of those different to Lennon or Collins?

[Spijed]

Certain clubs such as Man U. & Liverpool make people think that because they've played for the first team then they must automatically be good.

Same with Liverpool getting mega money for Solanke & Rhian Brewster. Laughing all the way to the bank.

[Newcastleclaret93]

How are either of those different to Lennon or Collins?

For me they both are good enough to start.

Lennon and Collins good squad additions but at the moment Tarks and Cornet are both better than them.

[NewClaret]

Great business from United

Imagine paying for Ronaldo by selling Daniel James

The new chap managing transfer business is nailing it!!!

Sure they only paid about 12 mill for him

Roberts wouldn’t start for us til Christmas I wouldn’t expect, he’s not back from tearing his groin til September. Then back on the grass building strength etc etc

And some of our fans think McNeil is only worth about 20 million. He's a far better player than Dan James.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Roberts wouldn’t start for us til Christmas I wouldn’t expect, he’s not back from tearing his groin til September. Then back on the grass building strength etc etc

He’s on the grass now isn’t he? That’s what swans fans seem to be saying. So surely that means 4-6 weeks from starting f

[boatshed bill]

If we intend to progress Richardson we could just get rid of one striker. let's face it, Wood is the only goalscorer out of the 4 these days.

[Quickenthetempo]

If we could just commit another £30m in transfer fees, to take spending up to the £60m mark and commit another £8m in wages per year on top of the salary increases for the new signings, then we’ll be 10/10.

Like I said, I think your scale might need recalibrating.

I think the wage bill goes up around 8m a year for the players already here, never mind new signings.

[NewClaret]

Sure they only paid about 12 mill for him

£13m + 7 in add-ons, so selling James also contributes some to his wages!!

[claretandy]

Roberts wouldn’t start for us til Christmas I wouldn’t expect, he’s not back from tearing his groin til September. Then back on the grass building strength etc etc

He's already back on the grass.

Not sure Dyche would drop Lowton anyway. And with Bardsley as cover there'd be no need to rush Roberts anyway, unless we got an injury, or Lowtons form nosedived again.

[boatshed bill]

Collins can play RB, doubt we would be looking at another one.

[warksclaret]

He's already back on the grass.

If he stays at Swansea they would expect him to be available in September

[TheFamilyCat]

Bardsley may have been offered as part of the deal. There was talk of a cash + player offer made yesterday.

[boatshed bill]

He's already back on the grass.

That's not going to help his recovery

[TheFamilyCat]

£13m + 7 in add-ons, so selling James also contributes some to his wages!!

I doubt he's triggered the add-ons so United could make a £17m profit on a player who has basically done eff all.

[warksclaret]

This thread has gone to pot

[Iloveyoubrady]

James is £30 million and all he can do is run. That could make cornet look very good value.

[ksrclaret]

I think £30m seems over value, but it’s quite clear that running is definitely not all James can do.

Would he be a professional footballer, let alone one at Man Utd, if he had pace but didn’t know what to do with a football.

[Vegas Claret]

Some Swansea fans believe it's a cash plus Vydra deal, ok lads if you say so

If that’s the case, we must be after a forward aswell?

[ClaretTony]

Which some don’t seem to realise and having our best players here come Wednesday really is key.
