    With PSG needing to off-load Neymar before this Friday, otherwise they are obliged to offer him a 5 yr contract at £0.5m a week, guess who’s ready to step in if PSG let him go on a free !!

    It’s possible that’s exactly what the club wants everyone to think, that we are happy with what we have? That’s what I’d do. Forces the price up on the players you want out the door and down on those players you want in. Lange is paid well to ensure no-one really knows what we are planning. This bluff and double bluff can make or save millions in the transfer window.

    Don’t think he stays at PSG unless their offer is significantly better than Madrid’s.

    They are paying him £1m a week too, not sure he’d be getting that if they’d paid £200m for him?

    So, Raphinha, Pogba and Dybala it is then

    Our FB’s will be worked liked dogs, getting up and down the pitch. I see the need to rotate at least 3 to keep them fresh. I make that c. 25 league games each, with a few additional Cup games on top of that.

    Don’t see Archer and JPB progression as that quick. We are looking to qualify for Europe and maybe challenge top 4, next season. If Archer, JPB or David impress this season, then I’d expect us to loan them out to Premier League sides next season.

    I assumed either Wes starts to score goals or we put in an insurance claim, so I think £15m is fair, definitely at least £10m.

    Expecting a bit of to play with in the summer. Rough numbers, so please don’t crucify, but broadly: Trez £12.5m Anwar £12.5m Wes £15m Targett £20m Davis £15m That’s £75m, there’s enough in those sales to pick up Hickey, Coutinho and Bissouma (if we can still get him). Then we can move on to looking at upgrades up front.

    Assume after today’s events, Lingard is going nowhere before the summer ??

    Any chance Cash is in the middle of a contract renegotiation? Sounds like the usual rubbish that gets agents a bump in the salary and the paper a few more copies sold. I presume he’s on nowhere near what Digne is on…
  12. Villaphil
    Quite a late in the day announcement, don’t you think. Wonder why we didn’t announce tomorrow morning ?? Bigger things tomorrow ?
  13. Villaphil
    A suggestion that Gerrard may want to clear out Dougie who won’t sign a new contract and Targett who he can’t guarantee game time to. In addition, we need a destructive midfielder and a CB?? Not quite sure what you don’t get?
  14. Villaphil
    Can’t help but feel there’s a clear-out due in the next few days…. Could easily see Out: Trez, Targett, Luiz In: Hickey, Bentancur, Bissouma, Gomez Sales c. £70m, Purchases c. £100m.

    Dream Team….. still remember the time the Mirror linked Liverpool with a £3m move for French left back Didier Baptiste, only to have to be told he was a character in Dream Team, and not real.

    Just gonna leave this here …..

    More likely we had a chat with him and he said, not without champs league, but thank you for your interest.

    clearly a judgement decision for Gerrard, but as a matter of principle, I have no problem selling Newcastle a player we deem to be no longer of the required level, particularly for a nice profit.
  19. Villaphil
    In effect we upgrade from Targett and Young, to Digne and Hickey for c.£16m. Additionally it means Young can cover / challenge further forward.
  20. Villaphil
    I’d imagine we’d take £25m and then buy Hickey from Bologna???

    Was trying to work a pun around the words derailing and defibrillating, it’s been 3 minutes and I just couldn’t get it to work. Can we just assume that I did and it was very amusing ?
  22. Villaphil
    Hmmm…… The club won’t want to sell, not just because we don’t want to lose him, but also because it says to the world we are a selling club and attracting ambitious players becomes much more difficult. If he makes it clear he wants to go, then it’s about extracting as much £’s from United as possible. If he goes for less than £55m - £60m, that sends a similar message as to our ambition.
  23. Villaphil
    If we brought in another CF, it’ll be Suarez, but likely only if OW or DI exit first…
  24. Villaphil
    Given previous behaviour, standard for Lange would be to go quiet on Bissouma for a bit. Meanwhile, links start to appear in the press of our admiring glances being made to various DM / Box to Box midfielders across the continent. So we’ll have to ride out these nonsense links, whilst Brighton have their bluff called that they are prepared to take a massive hit on his value / believe he will sign a new contract.

    Been working on a Joeless chant for Coutinho, what do you think ??? He’s Phil Coutinho He comes from Rio He came from Barca To Villa Park He’s 5 foot 7 and football heaven please don’t take Philippe away
