We just need to crack on and get a centre half and a forward in - we have really left ourselves in a dodgy position at the moment.

So we are only looking at loans?  We get back in the top 20 for turnover, double our income, make money from the Champions League and yet we spend like paupers?  Surely not, unless we loan with an obligation to buy if targets are hit.

Whilst I don’t for a minute think we are only looking at loans it would do the PSR the world of good I guess if we don’t spend in January on big fees and similarly don’t then need to get involved in the June 30th charades like last year

This window is starting to look like it may finish up with us much weaker than we were at the start. Unforgiveable if it does pan out that way, given where we are in the CL.

The Felix flirtations have been a bit embarrassing. Please can we not spending any more windows fixating over him.

With our squad of 18 players of which 4-5 after injured. Might hit PSR, but we won't be in Europe next season.

Yup - selling DC and Durán means we have created gaps in the squad. We have to address that, we have one fit senior centre half for fuck’s sake and we’ve voluntarily done that.

We got Roma Monchi. Not Sevilla Monchi. He's been shit so far. And that's kind.

I am not going to lie im getting very worried with these stories. Only loans coming in, enquiring for a lazy sod like rashford. I mean ffs why cash in on duran if thats what we planned to do?

Sell duran in summer.

Im just hoping this is smoke and mirrors. Otherwise it will be massively  frustrating  as when season started, we looked  weaker than last seasons team. Now this current team looks weaker than the one that we had when summer  window shit

Whoever it was said we should appoint Dean Smith as Director was spot on. We are still playing with his side. Monchi’s had us all on so far, no contacts. No progress. Lots of self publicity!

He was pretty terrible during his second stint at Sevilla too.

Agreed.  It’s looking like a complete shit show at the moment.

He's a fraud of a footballer, his agent is the star there

Referring to Asensio and Felix specifically. Not for every footballer on the planet.
