...Rooney could be on his way here according to this;

http://www.[Publication is blacklisted]/report-everton-likely-sign-goal-machine-summer/

For whatever doubts we may have about what he will bring to us on the pitch, I'm absolutely certain he will have a huge influence on which players we can attract.

Be shocked if his imminent arrival isn't included in the conversation with every player and agent we approach.
 
VVD and Koulibaly are brilliant players without doubt, but to me the are simply too expensive at 50M+.

Using some of the more commonly discussed players in these pages..... For ~50M you can have:

VVD.....

or.....Manolas AND Maguire

or.....De Virj AND Gibson

or even....Keane AND Sigurdsson

I would prefer any of those 3 combinations to just VVD or Koulibaly.

(says this realizing that in all likelihood we will sign none of the players above)

Manolas would be 40mil or more now that monchi has joined roma...

If it was a choice of VVD / Koulibaly or De Vrij + Gibson

VVD or Koulibaly every single time....star players make a huge difference
 

Slight difference in price for the two pairings.

I think the major point is the 2 big names will be a sign of intent
A statement to other players that we are to compete for CL and we are not going away.
If we sign a couple of big players early on it makes our other targets sit up and take notice.
Also let's Rom and ROSS know we are serious.

How would that entice anyone? Former England player whose been poor for a while is joining us....

Because, whatever you may think mate, it would do.

For many, many reasons.

The bloke is still massively respected by players and managers. Is still young enough to not be regarded as a joke signing.

Classing the best best player this club has ever produced. United and England's all time scorer and the one player who crossed Ferguson and wasn't booted out the club as just a former England player is absurd.

The pulling power of him towards getting younger players to join especially would be huge.

Cant see it myself, surely players want to join a team with other top players as opposed to former top players

I meant id rather have VVD or Koulibaly (which I thought he was saying hed have both de vrij and Gibson)

Id take 1 centre back of star quality rather than 2 good ones.
Yes, Zat is correct. 1 of those two vs. both of the others.

Fair take. I just don't know that VVD and/or Koulibaly at 55M are THAT much better than Manolas and De Virj who i suspect could be had for 40M and 30M respectfully.

Course my opinion may be skewed because I like both Maguire and Gibson as 3rd or 4th CB who could pair with Jags some next year in and then take over for Williams in another season. I know some don't rate one or either, but i like them.

All just idle speculation most like as in reality we will sign someone whom we haven't even thought of.
