    Our five most valuable players apparently.

    Can't find out how much we paid for Koné, but I don't think it was anywhere near that.

    According to something I read, might have been in the WO, the club will need sales this summer equivalent to the money received for Pedro. The transfer value list doesn't add up to that in total.

    Well those figures are ridiculous, particularly with Asprilla and they have missed off Louza of the loanees.

    I take little notice of these estimated/ guessed values. Most clubs do not disclose what they have paid for a player, so they really are not evidence based. What seems likely though is that some on that list will depart.

    Good continuity.

    Maybe a more experience coach will come in too?

    Yes friend went to it and said it all sounded very good and well planned .

    But the trouble is will Gino Pozzo be on board or be more interested in instant results than how many young players come through?

    Hopefully if this happens fans give them a chance rather than write them off.

    TC has also said they are well advanced at appointing an experienced person to assist him

    Curiously, I think that is absolutely the best news for next season. The reason is three-fold. First, TC realises he isn't the finished article, and has the humility to say so. Second, a piece of history. Aidy Boothroyd was really good when he had Keith Burkinshaw to assist him. It was sad that KB had to leave his post. If we can get someone as sensible, we'll be in a good position. Third, TC will not have everything on his shoulders when problems do arise. Fourth, it would be good to think the GP also recognises the importance of a strong leadership pairing - as well as good support underneath.
    It's worth remembering here that Matt busby always had Jimmy murphy supporting him.

    Well be handy - sure he has been in contact!

    Warren Joyce has been mentioned.

    Hopefully people won't be too upset if they don't have any WFC connections as some hope.
