So, How long do we keep this thread open for? AND who wants to start the Jan / Summer 2016 thread?

So, How long do we keep this thread open for? AND who wants to start the Jan / Summer 2016 thread? I was thinking until the end of the internationals - for something to talk about. Then maybe try to take a break from transfers for a while? Shut down the entire Transfers and Rumours board for a bit, would be ideal. Get people whinging in the General United section for a change.

When exactly did transfers become more of a focal point than the actual football?
Might as well scrap the actual game and just spend the entire time transferring players about.

Well, it's going to be an interesting season, if nothing else! I'm hoping we get to see Pereira, Lingard, and Wilson get some serious playing time. I think the signing I'm happiest about is Schneiderlin. I have admired that guy for years and he is exactly the player we had been missing. Add to Schneiderlin that we picked up two pacey, tricky wunderkinder (Memphis, Martial) and it's looking like a pretty great window. We also sorted out our right back conundrum and as sad as it was to say goodbye to Rafael, Darmian is a great fucking player. The De Gea transfer falling through has the potential to be a windfall as well, if he signs a new contract. If he signs then I think we can count on him not leaving in January and we will have the world's best keeper. If De Gea won't sign, I'd play Valdes. There were dozens of sexy names thrown around this window, and I would have loved to have picked up 4 or 5 of those glittering prizes, and I have no idea why we didn't snap up Otamendi at the very least, but so be it. With Rojo and McNair and the new guy we have some cover in defense, so it's not totally dire. I personally would get Rojo back in the side ASAFP. Oh, I forgot about Bastian Schweinsteiger. The dude is practically a legend. If we can get him fit and firing, we should be an amazing force. If we can avoid the injury plague we had last term and if we can manage to play our most clinical finisher, Own Goal, we will be fine. Hopefully Martial will be our new striker, spending a little time as Rooney's understudy before knifing him in the back and seizing the throne. Wilson will continue to develop with more game time, and I seriously think Wilson could be the next Great English Player. Overall, I'm ready for the season to start. We are far better now than last term and I expect us to be challenging for the title. Good post. Nit picking, but Pereira's on loan
