I think we will sign three players still.

RW, CB and LB

Not needed IMO. A winger should be priority.
Or Bale

Shakiri confirmed to Liverpool for 13.5 million. Absolute no brainer at that price. If Klopp can get an increase in work rate from him he'll prove to be a very good signing

He is a good signing for that money but he is back up for them. We need a top class right winger not another one at his level.

This, a million times this.

A no brainer squad addition. Great pick up for Liverpool. But simply not a player that United should have been in for. We need significantly better.

yabadabado · 13-07-2018 09:39PM

Shakiri would have been no addition to United,a top class RW is needed not another squad option.

J. Marston · 13-07-2018 09:46PM

Beggars can't be choosers comes to mind.

The state our right side is in, we should definitely have been in for Shaqiri. Even if he turned out to be a disaster, it would've been only a £13 million disaster.

There was probably people last summer thinking "Nah, we can do better than Salah at right mid." too. I might've been one of them, can't remember. Obsession with top class/marquee signings isn't the way to go about things, we should realise that by now. Shaqiri would've been a solid stab at solving the right side issue.

adox · 13-07-2018 09:55PM

Shaqiri along with Maguire just aren’t the standard of player Utd need.

It’s really time to stop fûcking around with signings and get some first team quality in.

What’s the point in signing a bargain when really we need to be building a team to challenge for titles?

Also “marquee signings”. Well yes please from me if that means top tier players coming in.

I’m fed up with mediocrity.

What IPTV do you use? The lad I used last year is finished so need a new service for this season.

Lingard/Rashford would be just as solid a stab at solving the right side for even less than Shaqiri. If we want progress we need more than a stab.

Its not even top class/marquee signings thats needed. Its just someone who comes in and is an automatic starter. A la Matic last year, I wouldn't have classed Matic as a marquee signing but he was a instant upgrade and guaranteed starter for us. We didn't need to splunk out on Fabinho/Kroos etc. to solve the DM position. We need the same Matic-type solution for RW (and CB if we are going for one).

We have Juan Mata, in the same position. I don't think spending 14million on Shaqiri is good enough business to bother doing.

If we brought in Bale, and Mata left - leaving us an arguable need for a back up option on the right side or central - then he would have been a no brainer decision - but that isn't the reality.

Shaqiri has been bought, imo, for a bench role. We need more than that.

part of the reason United are where they are is buying decent players like Shaqiri rather that top class players. We are already a squad of squad players and are trying to get away from that. We don't need more squad signigns this summer, we need first 11 signings, and Shaqiri isn't good enough for that. He won't be that at Liverpool. Get some context, some perspective.

It isn't a case of beggars can't be chosers, it is a case of people just wanting us to sign anyone.

"He's better than what we have" is both arguable and a pointless fecking argrument - we need WAY better than what we've got.

He is no better than Mata or Lingard. It's not squad players thats needed its someone to improve the first 11.
It makes no sense to add another player just because hes cheap.

Spend money on a genuine upgrade, doesn't have to a marquee signing.

jayo26 · 13-07-2018 10:14PM

Looking forward to seen the kids in next week's training and games hope get to see a bit of chongs hair.

No better man for a PM is our jayo26.

I think Shaqiri is a far better out and out winger than either Lingard or Mata who drift inside a lot more and don't have the pace or trickery to beat a man. Shaqiri can use both feet and is more unpredictable than Lingard or Mata who can only use quick change of direction when at pace really if they are going to try take someone on. Shaqiri can check his run and still have a burst of pace to beat a man which is very useful on the wing.

bangkok · 13-07-2018 11:18PM

Mahrez was the player to sign for our right this summer but hes gone to city now. I dont even think we showed any interest.

Salah was the player to sign last summer for the right, a bargain and again i dont think we were interested.

Maybe jose doesnt see the right hand side as much of an issue as we all do

Liam McPoyle · 13-07-2018 11:31PM

Just saw a video on Facebook of City having a parade type presentation/,unveiling for Mahrez. There are about 27 people at it not including the lads dressed up in mutant Smurf costumes. I thought our unveiling of Sanchez was odd but
Christ on a bike this is a whole new level of bizarre, it's like something from eurotrash.

Unfortunalty it's a social media game now with presentations trying to get them to go viral.

I'm probably in the minority not I loved our unveiling of Sanchez It was really classy but each to their own.

I thought out unveiling of pogba was way too in your face social media crap.
