It would be madness then to buy one player for that price. We'd probably get the other 3 for the same price as van Dijk? Maybe a bit more.

My point is that those 3 won't come to us I'd say. We'll buy others, but not any of those I'd say, certainly not all of them.

We need a poacher to score poxy goals. We seem like arsenal against defensive teams in that we can only score from coutinho or tippy tappey shïte. We need more goals like firminos vs west from. Brandt adds nothing except adding to our plethora of out of position number tens

Would love to take the Brandt money, and the excess VVD money, and throw in a big bid for M'Bappe. I'd say 30m plus hefty add on clauses would get him. This is literally the only time in his career we have a chance at landing him, and I actually think we'd be a fairly attractive offer. He'll play a lot, under a good coach, and he can develop while still taking a step up. Really looks a special player, and improving rapidly too. Stay 4 or so years, and he could move on to a top club with more leverage.

As Ken Early keeps pointing out, he really looks a lot like Classic Ronaldo.

So.. Points shared in the Manchester Derby?

Or a City a win?

City all the way.

I see your logic but I'm still undecided myself.

I'm probably being too optimistic though.

I think the longer CL football is in our own hands, the better. A draw immediately takes it out of our hands.

We can dream, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went the Benzema route. Stay a year or two more, and then straight to Barca or Real.

Monaco must be a joy to play for at the moment as well. Free scoring, attacking football, and a bunch of young talented players. Pretty sure Mbappe lives at their academy as well and is a fairly grounded lad.

I can't see how Liverpool, even with CL football next year, would be a more attractive option to him than just staying put.

I'd say you'd nearly need to double your bid to have any chance. Barca and Real are already sniffing around.

Perhaps... especially if Real don't win the league and decide on a bit of a clearout. Would love us to be in the conversation at least though.

Yeah I'd have to agree with Knex and Utopia, I think our only realistic chance of signing him has already passed unfortunately, which is quite a sobering thought really when talking about an 18 year old.

People wanting anything other than a United win tonight is flawed thinking.

United are facing Arsenal and Spurs 3 days after the Vigo fixtures which they'll be throwing the kitchen sink at, an easier route to CL for them. They'll likely lose both those prem matches imo.

City and Arsenal are your biggest threats for top 4 so you want City dropping points tonight for sure.

Riesen_Meal · 27-04-2017 09:33AM

I really like it, glad they didn't go with the old school looking trident logo thing....

Arsenal have lost more games in the last 10 games than won. Are they really going to win 6/7 of their last games? I'm not sure you can say Arsenal are a bigger threat than United.

Given the circumstances they are, and they always come good around this time of season when they need to secure 4th despite everyone doubting them.

Have Arsenal been seriously doubted for a top 4 finish recently. Only once in the last 10 years before this season they been out of the top 4 at this point.

Also Arsenal have never won 7 or 6 of their last games in any season, which they will probably need for top 4.

I am not one for buying jerseys anymore but i shall be purchasing the new one. Absolute beauty

No chance. Look at City's run-in. We're considerably more likely to finish ahead of United after a City win as we would be to finish ahead of City if United win. City can afford a defeat, United can't.

Utd under Jose won't be losing to both Arsenal and Spurs IMO. They might draw both, that'd be as bad as it'll be, 2 pts from 6.

Because United under Jose have been a real dominant force haven't they? He's a pragmatist and will know their best route to Europe and will put his main focus on that.

If United do drop points tonight, which is most likely anyway, United will care even less about that Arsenal fixture.

Nerdlingr · 27-04-2017 10:31AM

Jose gonna park the bus tonight. He'll take a draw and play the percentages.

Undefeated in 23. Performances haven't been too bad in recent times really. No worse than us, anyway.

I think with United missing some big players tonight, Pogba rumoured to be out too, that they could go ultra defensive. Typical Mourinho one nil victory performance.

That would be horrendous for us.

Have to agree with this. There is no way that Utd lose to both Spurs and Arsenal.

Jose would love to stop Wenger from getting Top 4. Likewise I think he'd take great pleasure in being the nail in the coffin of a Spurs title march.

I think maybe they get 4pts from those 2 games - a win vs Arsenal, a draw vs Spurs.

Whatever the results of other teams we need to just win our games. If we don't beat Watford on Monday we won't make it as the heads will go as usual.

Over 2ppg in the pl after a grim start.

Troy Deeney is just the type of player we would allow to ruin our season.

Nah, Deeney I could handle.

Etienne Capoue will give them the lead. We'll draw level before conceding a goal from a corner, with Craig Cathcart finishing it.

Everyone bombs forward - we might even get back to 2-2 - and they'll snatch a winner on the break, José Holebas sliding the ball under an onrushing Mignolet, centre-backs nowhere to be seen.

Meltdown on the forum afterwards - Klopp needs to invest, shambles after our start, only ourselves to blame, Lovren/Sakho/Skrtel/Rodgers/Houllier/Souness are at fault.

Followed by three piece of piss wins before the end of the season so that we miss out on the top 4, but with pride or something...
