Matthijs de Ligt

Just made history winning the domestic quad and “we did really well” also buying some of these players will make us unstoppable! What better than the season we just had? As you have seen at the rags buying players doesn't guarantee success or trophies. Trust the club seems they are doing alright. :)
ok right now would you at least agree if say vvd mbappe and de jong were with us now we would be a better team ? and yeah there is always a room for improvement no matter how good of a season you have. its too late to sign any of those players but if similar talents are available we need to go all out for them.
 
As has been said by some others this is not just about buying a top football player. It’s not just about ability it’s whether the player fits in with the squad. Pep relies on team ethic and harmony in the dressing room. The club don’t want to end up in the same situation as over the road. Our players constantly say there is no ego in our team. You can’t be bringing someone in at those figures. If this guy at 19 is already after the money him and his agent will be moving him on regularly and causing disruption. Someone mentioned leadership and him replacing Vinnie, that is an insult to someone as principled as he is. I want players who want come to play for us. Also fed up with the crap written about Maguire. Who says he’s not a better fit for us only time will tell. Any player who would rather go to the rags than Barcelona tells you everything you need to know about the fabric of the player.
 
Has he signed for the Rags yet?

It’s everywhere.

Another player going to United for the money and nothing else.
 
yes we did really well but with just some those players it would be a lot better if not near unstoppable. So in that context yeah it wasn't the right decision. That isn't to take away from our accomplishment and achievements but you should always be of the mentality of how to improve and what you could have done to be even better.

To improve you’ve got to retain the things that have made you so good in the first place. Those things are squad unity, competition for places and a clear and defined structure for individuals to progress their careers (and salaries).

There isn’t a player in world football who is more important to us than Ederson, Laporte, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Silva, Sterling and Aguero. Those are players that have earned the respect, trust and affinity of fans and have been rewarded very handsomely for doing so.

No incoming player has the right to go straight into that elite group of players, I don’t give a fuck what they’ve done elsewhere or what their potential is. Come here, prove your worth and we’ll reward that very quickly as is proven with the players above and why we can retain players like Kompany, Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Silva and Aguero long term.

If it’s true he’s only going to United because they are paying him an obscene amount and we don’t want to break our wage structure then we’ve made the right call.

However don’t kid yourself this guy ain’t a player. And equally don’t bury your head in the sand that Maguire is some sort of equal.

We can make the right call in not signing De Ligt but be grown up enough to admit United have bagged themselves a real gem.
 
If they spend enough, and I think they will, I can see them being much better and making progress, quite possibly replacing OGS along the way, hope I’m completely wrong.

They have spent zillions trying to reach us. Thankfully, they have Woodward.

Let's be honest though, no way in a million years is Ole a prem manager

No we dont. We need to go for players who will fit our system and I trust Pep to identify them and frankly, we have signed some gems who were not shiny toys at the time
