What level of signings do we expect this summer?

Lukaku doesn't want to stay and Stones is the worst player in England but for some reason both Chelsea and City seem to want the useless ham.

If we could get upwards of 100 million for them put together it would help a lot.

As long as stones can get away from Martinez then he'll be fine.

If Man U do appoint a new manager and have a clearout over the summer, I'd take Chris Smalling. Can't see it happening at all, but if it were possible I'd have him. We need a certain number of homegrown players in the squad and some of our existing ones are on the verge of departure / retirement / glue factory.

Probably all hinges on who wants out this summer, can see four or five being shown the door , so it's a major overhaul I would think...

A guy called McGeady is available - anyone ever heard of him? On a serious note, depends whose in charge. If its brown shoes someone like Al Absi will be signing no doubt on 80k a week

James McFadden on a free, again.

Jesus. I'd mentally blocked that one out.

I think even if they have a clear out smalling will be safe.

Can still see some sort of Lukaku/ Rooney deal this summer.

I think it will depend on too many variables to predict at present.

Who will be the boss,who will a potential new boss want/be able to attract, what fees will we sell which player for, if any? How much will Moshiri make available?

Basically, don't know lol

Yeah I think you're right. After all, if he's good enough that we would take him then it follows that he's good enough for them to want to keep.

I would take Rooney back in a huge variety of scenarios, but that isn't one of them.

If we sell Lukaku then we should be selling him to PSG for megabucks. We'd be mad to hand him over to a prem club, even if they offered more than a continental club.

Expect a new team

Get rid of the old Moyes boyes who can't be helping the dressing room

Gibson
Osman
Howard
Pienaar

Get rid of the crap
Kone
Mcgeady
Ovideo

Get rid of those snakes
Lukaku
Stones
Mirralas

That leaves us
Robles
Baines
Coleman
Jags
Mori
Mcarthy
Barry
Besic
Cleverly
Del
Lennon
Barkley
Naisse
Galloway

So 10 players have gone bags of monay and wages saved

So we need
A new keeper Dan Bentley
A new defender
A new left side midfield
A new striker giroud
A new right back

A new star signing
Embolo

Massive changes are needed

Depends on the manager but i would hope:

Goalkeeper:
Robles = Done well but to be at the top we need a truly top class keeper.
NEW KEEPER : Leno/Rico or similar quality/age.

Defence
Coleman = Poor defensively for 2 years
Jagielka = Getting a few injuries now and not top class. No leader or organizer
Stones: Only 21
Mori: Done fine but needs to improve next season
Baines: Poor for 2 years
Garbutt: promising but dreadful at fulham
Oviedo: Average on a good day

WE NEED HUGE CHANGES

For the keeper £15-20mil should get leno or rico

Defence we need 2 new full backs and a centre back BUT id assess the kids first like galloway and connolly.

We need a leader in defence...£25-30mil top class player.
