Wouldn't it be a better idea to try to prevent relegation in the first place?

Both strategies carry risk. Though I think we’ve veered too much towards “speculative, might come to something might not” sort of signings. You end up with what we have, which is a large squad full of closely matched, functional players, who are lacking in match winning quality and are dull to...

Selling Dunk frees up wages remember

Friday = u23's rubbish against Crawley Saturday = first team rubbish against Fulham Sunday = we basically give away Knocky to Fulham Monday = .......................................................

A masterstroke except for the fact that Maty hasn't had realistic competition for his place and his form suffered towards the end of last season.

So what about this line of logic De Light is today going to Juventus for £65m This was one of the more likely destinations for Pogba Pogba is now more likely to stay at Man U Man U are less likely to have a large sum of money readily available for Maguire Maguire stays at Leicester Dunk Stays...

I don't think Dunky will do this. I'm aware that there was some talk of dissatisfaction earlier in his career, but not now. I think it's more a case that we won't stand in his way if he does want the move. TB will play hardball for the fee, but ultimately let him go, which I think is the...

That seems to have been our business model, though there is a limit to how far you can take it and we're close to that limit.

Yes, this is an important point. At the highest level (of any market) you pay much more for not much improvement. So Maguire might be 1% better than Dunk, but this makes him twice the market value. If Team A has 11 players who are all 1% better than the players in Team B, that will...

Clearly this seems to be being strongly reported, but there seems to be a few links in the chain and if any one of those goes wrong then the transfer collapses. There are a few known unknowns. Such as Can Man U finance £80million for Maguire without selling Pogba? Would Leicester definitely...

It's still more likely not to happen than to happen, but I agree with the sentiment that we shouldn't stand in his way if a decent offer comes in and he wants to progress his career elsewhere

The way I see this is that there's about a 50/50 chance that this Maguire to Man U goes through. Then there's another 50/50 chance that Leicester decide Dunk should be a replacement. If they do decide this, then he's gone. Bloom will initially play hardball to up the fee and might turn down a...

Don't agree at all. A move to Leicester guarantees his place in the Premier League, all but guarantees a starting place in a top half team, gives him a much improved chance of getting into the England squad, gives him an outside chance of European football in the next few years, and gives him...
