I’d be delighted to have Asensio back, but can’t see it.
He'll want ECL exposure.

Why? He’s won it three times. I get that would be desirable, but why would it be an absolute must for him now? Like I say I suspect we wouldn’t be able to make the finances work, and perhaps that’s the Champions League element, but I doubt that’s the be all and end all for him right now.
well no . its all about wages to the players and now we aren't ECL we probably can't afford his . Move on , him and Rashford were a good fit last season in the ECL advanced stages , not now .

So not that he’ll want Champions League exposure then. I’ll be honest, we need some magic/higher level quality that can be a spark for us in games. If we could get him back we should do everything we can to.

We're not signing anyone are we? 😂

I'm OK with it. Think we'll be OK. But this is very boring. Tbh the whole window has been.

I know I'm off my rocker but if the rumours are true that Hoijland is only £20m, we could do a lot worse as back up to Ollie. Excellent for Atalanta, been totally stripped of confidence there, but the type I could see Unai sorting out.

Everyone seems to be quoting £30mil. I suppose if we don't register him for Europe we might be able to but it also will be a wage concern as that is the one thing we do have to reduce across the board for Europe and not just that squad. Although he isn't on Rashford wages.

Swoop for him on August 31st and we'll have saved 2m not having him for July and August. Result!

God no. He is absolute shite, we do Man U enough favours as it is.

I'd take Gary Penrice on a pay-as-you-garden deal.

What happened with the Zeppy Redmond kid, he gone already now too?
Wasn’t involved in the US tour, I don’t think?

Chelsea sign ANOTHER player. Only £37m this time.
