This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The list in your post by wcnitz
Sancho: Possible, but it's going to be a long line of suitors if he gets a price tag
Fekir: Possible, but he may be damaged goods
de Ligt: Nearly impossible, highly difficult since he's all but signed with Barcelona
Tielemans: Possible
Sessegnon: Sure, but...is that really a high potential?
TAA: Impossible
CHO: Highly, highly unlikely since they'd sell him to Bayern cheaper than United
de Jong: He's already signed
If you're truly shooting for youth (sub 25), particularly in midfield, then you'd definitely need more realistic options: Thorgan Hazard, Weigl, Lemar, Neves, and Rodri.
As far as the back line goes...they need to spend. Skriniar would be a good start. Maybe Lenglet could be an option if he wants more playing time, he has a good future.
