    Obviously Pickford signing for NUFC would be as successful as Rafa managing Everton.

    Tarkovski is a decent player and a massive upgrade on Clark / Fernandez. He's free to sign so I'm confused why people wouldn't want our squad CBs to be Premier League standard with lots of experience.

    Bringing in Botman or a Badiashile type player is going to happen, however the young European CBs who will become World Class need to learn the Premier League and putting them in a squad with Schar, Burn & Tarkovski is the kind of environment to provide high level competition and also a offer bags of experience for the these young super stars to thrive.

    I'm not a fan of Richalison. I think we can find better value, quality and attitude elsewhere.

    Personally I don't want to sign any out-field players from Manchester United. I have never seen a player leave Man U for another Premier League club and go on to be a greater player. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but in general.

    Borja - not for me, I don't see the fascination

    So So many more I don't want - DVB, Ali, DKL - these guys don't have the correct attitude. I don't se them as better than our current first team players.

    We need at least 11 of our current deadwood to be moved out. I'm confident we can get them all out the door too. I can see the owners just cutting their loses and giving most of them away for next to nothing just to clear the decks.

    Players I DO want -
    Henderson, Carrasco, Ekiteke, Botman, Sangare, Targett, Lodi, Jesus

    there are more but that lot are my top choices

    We were apparently willing to spend £40 million on Botman in Jan so Eddie and the owners must think he's worth it. My only concern is that Man-U are interested it's being reported and they squandered 80 mill on Maguire. Could just be the environment and pressure there turning players crap mind

    Even with Ten Haag coming in, Man U are still a cancer of a club. The Owners & board are rotten.

    Top class young players have seen what has happened to other top class youngster at Man U recently, such as - Memphis, DVB, Dan James etc etc

    All seen their careers fall apart at Old Trafford.

    I don't see them as direct competition.

    Players are seeing the atmosphere generated by the TOON ARMY / Wor Flags - they see the likes of Bruno sign and become a hero to the fans.

    Bruno talking about UCL football and winning things.

    Man U & Arsenal are teams in decline - Has-beens.

    We are a team ascending - A Black and white Era is dawning on the world of football

    Talent, character, ability to fit in to our squad etc.

    Lots of linked names would not be choices of mine, but for the 1st time since the mid 90's. I trust the system and the men / women running it!
    Can't argue.

    However, don't want Richarlison or Clavert-Lewin anywhere near our club.

    Another one I didn't mention previously.

    Armando Borja - Can someone explain to me the fascination with this guy?

    Years Team Apps (Gls)
    2020– Chelsea 1 (0)
    2020–2021 → Vitesse (loan) 30 (10)
    2021– → Southampton (loan) 32 (6)

    That is marginally better than Joselu numbers, I don't get the hype.

    Richarlson and Deli Ali are the types of players I would not have in my club or socialise with,nasty gits.

    I think these two are different players. Ali is a has been who lives off past glories and he’s had Everton’s trousers down over his wages. Despite the fact Richarlison’s face looks like the player next to him has just dropped a bad one all the time, he’s a decent lad off pitch and a family man. He has his qualities as a player (he plays for Brazil) but I honestly think we could find a better option. Of the two, though I’d FAR prefer Richarlison.

    Richarlison and Wilson would be some strike force. Borja i just dont get at all whats he done at southampton to justify such huge interest ?,
