Now over to you Roman get the 💷💷💷💷 out because this team is shot to bits and unbalanced. Major work is needed. Firstly get a manager in for next season and work with him now on players HE wants NOT the chairman or a director or the tea lady
Major clear out
Major reaforcements needed.

Yet this is the team that romped to the title last season?
13 Jan 2016 22:57:03
What bothered me this game is that half of players looked like a passengers. Today 3 points were for the taking and we would have been 10 points behind 4th place. The performance was just bad.
Special mention has to go to referee as he was a clown!
13 Jan 2016 23:00:22
Should of happened in summer right players needed right players need to go.
13 Jan 2016 23:07:27
CFCadam if you can't see this team is in need of a major shake up then what are you watching? Might of won the league last season but it was more down to others being crap to us being good! We were poor in last half of last season.

I agree we wasn't that good others were just bad the last time United won league totally same they were rubbish but everyone was worse. Think kenedy looks like he is a player. Don't think for one minute hiddink is the right man I like him but before the players at the club bought into him just think he's there to carm ship down nothing's really changed to be fair except a couple of players have picked up a little, #goingtobealongseason#.

We don't need a revamp we need structure and desire and most of all an empowered competitive edge! Noone is scared to play us and we always give away late goal! Like in a race whatever it may be running, swimming, cycling you must give your best at the end or someone will take it from you! Too may times players are standing around waiting for the ball to come to them! Talent in football is playing without the ball as much as with!
For me oscar Pedro matic have been awful absolutley awful and right there is almost 75 million in transfer fees! We need an agressive midfielder and agressive winger and one real aggressive tale charge defender to play with Zouma! Terry can not play every game and his leadership is needed so we need someone else to play!
Sorry but to me MOU sold all our talent all of it! For me Lukaku should be ours and Debryne two amazing talents wasted! Today oscar should have came off for RLC as he stunk the bed again! For me hiddick brings players to Theriot confidence but when players aren't performing take them off and for me oscar and Pedro should have left and one did and one didnt!
Letting up late goals is inexcusable and is why we need more talent! I can see us beating PSG because they are weak in defense and we can exploit it, but after that we will get buried unless we play 10 I the box football like we did in 2012! Hurts to see our team playing poorly but for me it's certain individuals not pulling weight and not sure how we fix it!
Lastly if you all saw Pep apologize and say he may not coach again next year I think it's because his wife wants london and he wants chelsea but if they don't make champions League he will direct the players he wants to make his 2017/ 18 season work and if we do by the gift of a miracle make it he will coach is next season!

Pep will not touch us all because of Romans trigger happy finger!

Pinky, you miserable git. Didn't say we shouldn't have a clear out, just that this is a squad that won the league last season. We all saw we needed strengthening over the summer and they never backed Jose. So it's come back and bit the board on the arse.
Do you really think Pep is that good of a manager? He's managed 2 teams. The BEST two teams in the world in the last 4-5 years. Not that hard to manage let's be honest. Think any of us could go into Barcelona or Bayern and win their leagues and go far in the champions league.
Problem lies with Roman, he wants us to play like Barcelona, when put simply we can't. We're not as good player wise as Barca.
Jets - if you do a search you will find that De Bryune was sold against Jose's wishes. And with Lukaku he was 18/ 19 demanding a starting position. When he had never achieved anything in the game. Kicked up a fuss and thought we did well to get £28m off Everton for him. Jose knew we needed new blood last season, but board didn't back him. That's the bottom line. We lack depth and the players know this. Not much proper competition like on Jose's 1st time, where we had 2 quality players for every position.
14 Jan 2016 08:46:21
But one thing that I do hope that happens in the summer is that we have a "proper" clear out. I mean players who were considered "untouchable". Players like Terry, Ivanovic, Matic, Fabregas, Mikel, Hazard, Costa, Oscar, Remy. But one thing is certain, shifting these boys on will be hard. And bringing new players in, getting them to gel before next summer especially after a short pre season due to Euro's will be tough. Another transition time coming up I feel?
14 Jan 2016 09:23:47
CFCAdam, there's pretty much 0% chance we'd sell 7 players that are almost always in our starting 11 (Terry, Iva, Matic, Fab, Oscar, Hazard and Costa) .
We do need a good clear out though. Personally at this point in time I'd like to see Iva, Mikel, Ramires, Oscar, Pedro, Remy and Falcao leave and probably Fabregas. Hazard and Matic deserve time to try and rediscover their form as when they're on form they're the best players in their positions.
One issue I think we'll have trouble with come summer is CB. Terry is getting too old and slow now but he's the only one with any sort of leadership skills at the back plus he's English. Cahill I've never particularly rated but he would be a decent 3rd choice CB. Again he's English and we are sorely lacking in high quality HG players which makes it harder to let either of them go.
Summer will be massive for us though.

Agree Fuser that they will and should be a clear out but Ivanovic's new contract means he will not be going anywhere but other than that I agree with your others. I have said all along that Costa will be gone and the body language means Hazard is likely to gone also. That means therefore Terry will probably be around but not a regular, certainly Cahill, I would like to see a genuine left back and Azi back on the right and captain. Matic I think has lost his confidence as early on he was being dragged everywhere because of Fabregas's failings, a player who may get half a season to redeem himself. The transfer summer season will be huge for us and a 'couple' this January would not go amiss.
{Ed002's Note - There is no fixed individual who will set a fee but the club will decide on the sort of figure they want and teh sort of figure they will accept for any individual player. This will include input from the director of football, perhaps the person who does the negotiation, the secretary etc..}
