Keep – DDG, Bailly, Blind, Shaw, Fosu-Mensah, Pogba, Herrera, Martial, Rashford, Mkhitaryan.
Sell – Jones, Carrick, Schwein-derlein, Mata, Rooney, Ibra, Darmian, Smalling, Rojo.
Buy – Alli, Griezmann, Florenzi, Van Dijk, Tolisso.
November 8, 2016 at 9:51 pm #1309593Blacky, I was being more realistic than saying the entire squad virtually when that is never going to happen. Of course I would rather have a top right back than Valencia and Darmian etc . I think the team has the potential to play better with a better formation/ set up and it needs adding to obviously
November 8, 2016 at 9:54 pm #1309599Fergiesarmy were you being serious with your response before?
November 8, 2016 at 11:14 pm #13096111 De Gea – Keep

4 Jones – Keep (need home players – just for squad basis)
5 Rojo – Sell
6 Pogba – Keep
7 Memphis – Sell or at least loan
8 Mata – Sell we can get better
9 Ibrahimovic – keep
10 Rooney – Sell
11 Martial – Keep
12 Smalling – Keep need home players
14 Lingard – Keep need home players (first decent youth player coming through he’s gone)
16 Carrick – Sell
17 Blind – Keep squad player
18 Young – Sell
19 Rashford – Keep
20 Romero – Sell
21 Herrera – Sell get some money back while we can

November 9, 2016 at 2:01 am #1309623A good discussion all round – but bound to be controversial about who to keep, who deserves another chance, and those who for one reason or another should go.
However, there was one comment that was particulary relevant:No January transfers.
Now if 3/4 MFs were to leave then at the least 2 more need to be signed. Similarly with the CBs – if two go then at least another needs to come in. So JM will not sanction the selling of 2 MF players in January without a staff addition. That would be madness.
So if JM won’t/can’t buy in January the the exits in January should be very minimal. Which means that players in/out would be completed in 3 windows when every effort should be made to complete the movement in 2 windows.But what I found puzzling about the ‘No January transfers’ comment is this: are players signed when there is a need for them, or are they signed when exceptional players become available. In other words does JM wait until the summer to sign a CB, or does he sign one if the right sort of player becomes available in January?
So if Virgil van Dijk is ready to leave Soton in January, surely JM should make a move for him. Because if JM waits until the summer, the player may have moved to say Liverpool.
November 9, 2016 at 7:30 am #1309671@simonas2702 – Fair play mate,thats a relief!.I just took it that you were happy enough to keep all those players because you didn’t think we could do better!.Personally,I reckon at least a couple will leave in January irrespective of whether or not Jose can get in replacements for them.The prime candidates being Bastian,Darmian and Schneiderlin.
November 16, 2016 at 9:47 pm #1318483About time I got in on this…
1 De Gea – World Class – Keep3 Bailly – Finally a replacement for Vidic – Keep
4 Jones – Needs a run of games ASAP. If he doesn’t get that chance now that Bailly is out needs loaned out immediately to show what he can do – Loan (unless he performs a miracle over next 6 weeks)
5 Rojo – Never going to be world class. I’d prefer academy players like CBJ, Williams and Tuanzebe to provide backup to the first team – Sell
6 Pogba – When played to his strengths world class. We should play 4-3-3 to get the most out of him – Keep
7 Memphis – I’ve always likened him to Nani. Has all the natural talent but does he have the professionalism? Needs a run of games to show what he can do – Loan or Sell with Buy Back Clause
8 Mata – Great no. 10 but a bit of a luxury. Needs to be played with pacy players around him – Keep
9 Ibrahimovic – Good player but another season will only hold back the likes of Rashford and Martial – Sell
10 Rooney – Past his best. Doesn’t justify his high wages. Mata and Mkhitaryan are both better no.10’s – Sell
11 Martial – Struggling to live up to last year’s performances. Seems to be stifled a little by Mourinho. Potential to be a world class game changer – Keep
12 Smalling – Has massively improved in last 18 months – Keep
14 Lingard – Good homegrown squad player. – Keep
16 Carrick – We are a different team when he plays. Obviously his time is almost over but I’m happy to have him as long as he is fit – Keep
17 Blind – One of my favourite United players. Professional and very intelligent footballers. Would like to see him playing DM with Herrera and Pogba ahead – Keep
18 Young – Good pro. Can play anywhere you ask. We need better though – Sell
19 Rashford – Great young player. Needs more game time upfront though – Keep
20 Romero – Backup keepers are a difficult one – Keep
21 Herrera – Very good midfielder – Keep
22 Mkhitaryan – Looked world class last season. He’ll come good if given the chance – Keep
23 Shaw – Has the potential to be a world class LB. His professionalism has been questioned. I think he’ll prove the doubters wrong – Keep
24 Fosu-Mensah – Beast of a player. Gonna be great. – Keep
25 Valencia – Good pro and squad player – Keep
27 Fellaini – Not good enough United – Sell
28 Schneiderlin – Good (squad player) defensive mid. No better than McNair mind you – Sell if we get a decent offer
31 Schweinsteiger – Better than Fellaini but doesn’t have a chance under Mourinho – Sell
36 Darmian – Good defender. Potentially very good if he can settle. Hopefully he has the mentality to make that RB position his own – Keep
Borthwick Jackson- Not sure why he’s not getting much game time at Wolves. Was very impressed with him last season. Very good squad player – Keep
Pereira – Loads of potential – Keep
Januzaj- If he can’t force his way into a poor Sunderland team I don’t hold much hope for home – Sell with buy back clause
November 16, 2016 at 11:15 pm #1318561Sell Carrick? I thought he was the best midfielder in the world?
November 16, 2016 at 11:26 pm #1318576Read what I wrote after his name.
November 17, 2016 at 10:16 am #1319026RS7-Fellaini is.
