After 3 years in the Championship, I see the transfer stories and think - He won't come to us when he can play in the Premier League plus better wages so obviously I'm still mentally readjusting

Bit of a hint from Zebe here. Fingers crossed.
Man Utd face the same dilemma with Axel we faced when we had Cahill , if top six is good enough for the next couple of seasons then Axel is their man if they want to win the league next season he isn't .
Maxi Gomez anyone?...................

Delph has been mentioned before in this thread. West Ham have been linked, but apparently Man City want £10m and his wages are about £80k a week.
That's a no then surely!?

FWIW I don’t think Zebe-Zebe-Tuanzebe is good enough for United. He made mistakes this season - usually from poor passes - but he’s quick and strong enough to recover. Playing against the top teams he’ll get punished and his confidence would be shot in front of 78k fans or whatever OT holds these days.
He has massed of potential though and we should buy him and give United a first option buy back or something.
I really can't see Gomes coming to us. I'm not against it but Valencia are supposed to be after him too.

See the players available on free transfers from 1 July from the 20 Premier League clubs of last season
I have to admit I've never heard of most of them!

A spanish correspondent on Talksport at about 5.45am said "Maxi Gomez is the type of player Real Madrid should be buying, but I have it on good authoritg Aston Villa are in pole position, to whicb I am delighted (as he is a Villa fan).
So maybe ?
As for wages, we have been out for 3 yrs, 60k is minimal now, Daniel James has apparently agreed 57k a week, Madison is on same and expected to join top 4 and double his wage. I bef Grealish is on about that.
Like it or not, if you want to be in the Premier, yoj have to pay 40k minimum for untested, more like 60k for a run on the mill and geg on for 100 for a proven player.
Thats just the game now.
I sort of agree, but read earlier Mings is only on £14k at Bournemouth. No doubt we will have to double that, or maybe more
