[split walrus]

All i hope for is a positive gd next season

[violet ibex]

it's just having strong fortitude and grit like onana is huge for an athlete in a competitive sport

[split walrus]

Id like +25/30

[violet ibex]

hopefully so

[split walrus]

Hard call still

[violet ibex]

hopefully nistelrooy would whip our strikers for missing sitters lol

rashford looked sharp in the pre-season but he still missed his targets

hojlund looks sharp, hopefully the injury won't be much of a setback

we have been playing well, the players are starting to be able to execute the manager's tactics, the transitions and shapes mostly look promising especially on offense

and we're still lacking some key players like bruno and licha

and key signing like a new DM and CB

and key RB too

either dalot or new signing in mazraoui

because AWB couldn't execute his role well in ETH's system during offense

[stray jetty]

why do u guys want jonathan tah?

[oak crystal]

Sell awb and Lindo and do the double

🚨🔵🔴 EXCL: Dani Olmo to Barça, here we go! Verbal agreement in place after key mission in Leipzig for Barça director Deco.

€55m guaranteed package plus €7m in add-ons, main part difficult to reach.

Olmo agreed on six year deal valid until June 2030 and he wanted Barça move.

But there’s still no agreement in sight between Paris Saint-Germain and ManUtd. In terms of the transfer fee, there is still a huge gap. But the clubs remain in contact.

[split walrus]

Yes i saw as well

But idk if we ll sell

Or if the news even credible for that matter

bro Antony is not going to Europe at 24

that just can’t happen

he’s not Veiga bro

[split walrus]

My brother

https://tenor.com/view/hand-on-shoulder-jason-hayes-sonny-quinn-seal-team-s6e10-gif-27128695

[flat hedge]

not happening

[thorny eagle]

I have no idea on the credibility! It from footy insider

[vast jolt]

Ronaldos happy to reunite with his idol

[rare island]

Ronaldo + Antony = aura💀

[violet ibex]

as much as I think the source is not credible at all, I would be BUZZING if we somehow managed to salvage our losses and sell antony for 60m++ 🤣

[vast jolt]

That would be a dream

[thorny eagle]

Saudi clubs aren't splashing the cash like they did before! It will be 30m tops

[violet ibex]

I'd have mixed feelings if that happens hahaha

[vast jolt]

I'd be happy even with 30m

Because we could find so many players better than him

[violet ibex]

honestly 30m for antony is fair

[vast jolt]

with a lower value

[violet ibex]

but our losses would be so huge

we should learn from chelsea who somehow managed to scam people and sell their dead weed for big money

🤣

[vast jolt]

They sold their whole squad last summer

And replaced them with youngsters

The streets will never forget 22-23 chelsea

😂

[split walrus]

So crazy

50m+ for gallagher

[paper wraith]

There is a snowball's chance in hell that someone is paying 60M for Antony.... when realistically you could offer up a VERY GENEROUS 40M right now and that would be great. I think Antony has this year to try to prove himself (unless a good offer comes in) and then he will be a huge loss for us

[vocal monolith]

Deal was supposed to be betwen 30 - 40m when we first where linked to Antony. But somehow we managed to pay £70m

[paper wraith]

Woodward "30-40M right? Ok, I will wire 70M right away. And let's 10x Antony's wages because that is fair." 🤣 Literally the world's worst businesman.....

[vocal monolith]

They did a lot that year, 70m for 30years old Casemiro 🤦🏻‍♂️

[paper wraith]

He didn't want to have to adjust the wire amount each time 🤣

[vocal monolith]

Someone in Real Madrid staff said in a report that all Madrid directors went crazy after we made that bid

We didn't even tried for 40m

[violet ibex]

woodward and murtough doomed us

glad to see them out of the club. should have never even set their foot in, but oh well

we are now fighting their legacy because they have created our image as stupid pushovers

now every deal is hard

[sacred summit]

i acc really wanted de ligt

but i dont know if its possible

and how did his value go from 85 million to 40

thats actually crazy

[split walrus]

🤣

U r so funny somupa

“Doomed” 😔🤣

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-squidward-night-shift-we're-doomed-gif-4186832902922642115

[untold sandal]

because he was largely missing for majority of last season

im confident he can return though

[sacred summit]

i hope he comes to united

[untold sandal]

a player of his quality for potentially 40m is incredible

[untold sandal]

me too

[sacred summit]

yeah and ten hag knows how to use him

so thats even better

[ocean sun]

What i don't understand. How on earth can man city sell alvarez for €80m + ?

Something fishy

🚨 Denzel Dumfries does not intend to discuss new Inter Milan deal until market closes. 28yo favours exit - keen on Man Utd but only possible if Wan-Bissaka rejects West Ham & #MUFC / #Inter want swap. At present Utd prefer #WHUFC + Mazraoui @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/Dv3njvNA47

Twitter · Aug 6, 2024, 4:50 PM

[violet ibex]

pros on AWB - dumfries swap deal:

• AWB not going to another prem club
• dumfries should have better availability due to his fitness, unlike mazraoui who's extremely injury prone
  cons:
• can he get back to his best form after a terrible season?
• already 28yo

pros on getting mazraoui:

• the player is already accustomed to and familiar with ETH's tactics, so we don't need to question his adaptability
• giving antony the lifeline and last chance to prove himself
• younger than dumfries, so better expected longevity for us
  cons:
• AWB going to prem club
• can he stay fit and no injury?

[raw idol]

I think another pro is that the deal could just be a genuine player for player

[violet ibex]

right. I think we're looking to spend 2m extra for mazraoui

(with the latest report of 18m for AWB and 20m for mazraoui)

[raw idol]

I like both players honestly i was surprisingly impressed with dumfries at the euros

[untold sandal]

also mazra is quite objectively the best player going forward here

[violet ibex]

I'm a fan of dumfries too, but it seems like he was somehow inter's worst player this season

[untold sandal]

which is what ETH wants

[violet ibex]

but that's what I heard from inter fans, I'm not following serie A too much and can be misinformed on this matter

[raw idol]

Im happy with either player honestly

But the main priority has to be de ligt regardless of all this

[violet ibex]

if mazraoui can stay fit I also think he'll be the better option

rather than his ability, I'm more concerned with his injury record

[raw idol]

Im hoping for mazaroui de ligt fofana berge imo

[untold sandal]

agreed

[untold sandal]

this

because mazra has all the ability

no doubt

potential wise, top TOP rb

[raw idol]

Surprisingly tho he missed less games than awb apparently

[untold sandal]

and he has the flexibility to play LB in place of shaw too

[violet ibex]

we bought yoro without any concerning injury record and he's immediately OUT 3 months after 2 games for us. god

[untold sandal]

yknow what sucks

[violet ibex]

are we really counting on our luck with injuries and get mazraoui?

[raw idol]

We need to stop america pre seasons imo

Dosent do us any good

[untold sandal]

considering last season too, hojlund seems a bit injury prone

and i really dont want this trend with him to continue

[violet ibex]

unfortunately I think it's part of the deal with snapdragon

[untold sandal]

because hes a top ST

[raw idol]

I think its more rushing him back which we had to do due to having no st imo

Cant count martial because he was always injured anyway

[untold sandal]

fair

i mean he scored in like how many games in a row

6?

7?

[violet ibex]

I really hope he'll be able to stay fitter this time, we bought hojlund with medical issues and I pray that thing is resolved...

[raw idol]

7 i think

Thats when we played the ball to him

[untold sandal]

which was outrageous

[untold sandal]

me too

[untold sandal]

RVN promotes wider wingers and feeds the striker more in his philosophy

[raw idol]

Quality when we gave him the ball

[violet ibex]

this was fantastic. and let's not forget how good he was in CL

[raw idol]

Which is my problem with garnacho he dosent pass enough imo

To selfish

[untold sandal]

If he can get that down (which it seems like he is doing) hojlund could be bangin goals casually for fun everyday

[untold sandal]

Agreed. Was uniteds only redeeming factor in days of despair

[violet ibex]

I have the same concern with both garnacho and rashford. we need our wingers to supply our striker with good balls

[untold sandal]

The thing is, what we ALWAYS do is that the wingers get the ball, make a run, and then just cut into box and go for an optimistic shot

ESPECIALLY garnacho

[violet ibex]

it's okay to attack the final third yourself and try to score yourself at times but when that's the only thing you do instead of trying to create chances for the striker, there's something really wrong

[untold sandal]

He needs to feed hojlund more. Rashford should improve on this too

[split walrus]

Nice one

[untold sandal]

so what have we considered for CDM so far

zubimendi seems quite impossible if were dropping ugarte

fofana?

who else

[violet ibex]

sander berge

[untold sandal]

oh ye

thats the higher risk approach

[split walrus]

Bro we are def pushing for fofana

[violet ibex]

I'm a fan of zubimendi

[untold sandal]

but the approach i favour more

[split walrus]

Gazzette is trustworthy

[split walrus]

Hard

Too expensive

50-60m

We wont pay

[untold sandal]

im not a fan icl

we already have a fofana style player in mainoo

[split walrus]

Tbh m really looking forward to zirkzee’s false 9 play

[untold sandal]

Unless he can pull a calhanoglu and become instrumental as a CDM, I dont see how he will have the lasting effect we really need for DM

[untold sandal]

me too

[raw idol]

He only has an interest for playing under xabi alonso

Rejected barcelona arsenal bayern munich

[violet ibex]

we need to hire a spaniard to work under ETH so we'll have pull for spanish players 😂

xavi might have failed as a manager, but maybe we can try and sign him as technical coach or something lol

[violet ibex]

same here, I expect to see some beautiful football with him on the pitch

[raw idol]

Plettigoal reporting the offer we made isnt sufficient 💔 bayern munich really are trying to squeeze everything they can out of us

bayern NEED tah, and mazra and de ligt both WANT TO LEAVE, but instead of negotiating a lower price, they INCREASE the price??

dude wtf

can some club have some common sense please

or are they all just doing this because were united

because this is getting so annoying

[split walrus]

This

[untold sandal]

I guarantee you. If west ham or something asked for mazraoui? 20m and the deal would be done.

But noooooo we have to beat around the bush for this shite because were united

[split walrus]

They are against us bro

[untold sandal]

I'm genuinely so pissed off at this

[untold sandal]

And I dont even know what they expect

60m for ugarte is ridiculous

[split walrus]

Only way to redeem ourselves is market is to get back stronger on the pitch in some yrs

They d take us seriously then

[split walrus]

70*

[untold sandal]

But thats extremely difficult. Like we literally NEED to make signings, because our squad depth is terrible. And now all 3 signings we were on the verge of making are all falling apart

[split walrus]

Yeah

It ll take time bro

This window wont fix shite

Around 3-4 more windows needed

[untold sandal]

Especially feel bad for de ligt. He only wanted united. Waited patiently. Now he probably wont come.

At best we get mazra

But this overall

Is just shattering me man

Its okay get some water

50 or 60m for alvarez at best

Thats including addons lol

[split walrus]

Don’t forget they got gallagher as well

Expect 10 more chelsea signings now

[untold sandal]

Chelsea also scammed them 💀

40m for gallagher is atrocious business

[ocean sun]

Hahah you really think so. Those cheats doing something from inside probably. Some kind of dirty deal. No way atleti will pay €95m for that kid 🤣🤣

€45m could be city's own money 🤣

[untold sandal]

Agreed, dirty money for sure

Atletico are never spending that much on their own

[ocean sun]

But they don't say it to the media

[untold sandal]

Yup

The whole world is against united tbh

Every single club, forced us to overpay
Its worse knowing every single one of those clubs would do a lower deal if someone like liverpool or west ham knocked

[ocean sun]

They are doing everything this year to get released from the fpp. They failed many times to show their books. Finally now they are gonna act as if they are really making profits

This should make it 117 charges 🤣

[untold sandal]

Benfica? 140m for Joao Neves. Sold to PSG for 70m somehow?
PSG? 70m total for Ugarte. Ridiculous considering thats what they payed for him, and he isnt nearly as good anymore??
Bayern? 50m for De Ligt and now upwards of like 30m for Mazra. They both want united and bayern need to sell to buy Tah, but instead of understanding situation, they INCREASE mazra price

I'm just like~ cmon make it make sense. What is this bias against united

[split walrus]

Ray, calm down bro

[ocean sun]

It can't be changed now immediately. We had crooks before. Now INEOS has restrictions to overpay for players. Eventually it will take two or three transfer windows to fix this issue. We will have to pay less and negotiate. Then everyone will have a clear idea about INEOS

[split walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/ed-woodward-manchester-united-ceo-man-utd-edward-woodward-also-myre-gif-20267362

[untold sandal]

Dude if we do, that will be the ultimate GET FKED SNAKE

and bayern would regret everything 💀

[ocean sun]

Imagine we get tah for £25m and bayern failed to sell mazza and deligt 😭😭🤣🤣

[split walrus]

Overpay for tah

Make it 40m

And get him

N teach these suckers a lesson

[ocean sun]

Bruh 😭

[split walrus]

Where they fail to sell both their defenders

And lose the one they want

Hope they end up trophyless again

Losers

[ocean sun]

Kompany will get sacked by December

And replaced by Pochetino

[untold sandal]

I think it will be a smart ass poker move if we can get mazra done and pull off tah

Mazra will basically have to get done now unless we go for dumfries

He's the most likely signing

De Ligt will now sadly likely fall through

If we get Tah, as sad as I will be knowing de ligt will be sad he couldnt go to united

Atleast we get a defender just as good haha

[split walrus]

Atleast him n his agent know

We wanted him

It was his flub fkn around

[untold sandal]

Yeah

[ocean sun]

hijack the deal

get wrecked bayern, remain trophyless next season

[violet ibex]

true, but to be fair bayern has always asked 42m pounds (50m euro) for de ligt I think

[untold sandal]

They still do this despite knowing they need to sell, and knowing de ligt wants united. They increased mazra price for us too

[violet ibex]

yeah everyone's playing hard ball on us because of glazers murtough woodward legacy

stupid arse shite

I was a fan of rui costa during his playing days. now I'm his hater

😂

[jolly glade]

It's de Ligt I want out of Bayern. I don't mind if Wan Bissaka stays or gets swapped with Dumfries in an Inter arrangement

Mazraoui is a good player but he's not in a postion we need to focus on rn. We need another, more experienced centre back as well as a long term solution to Casemiro

[stray jetty]

its a done deal

[untold sandal]

Ik

[jolly glade]

Simeone's getting the hammer to the piggy bank and it's an excellent deal I feel as you're going to be giving Alvarez a starting role rather than going second fiddle to Haaland.

And it should really inspire us to go after more cheap young players from outside of Europe as they can bring results as well as give us a massive payday if they leave

[raw idol]

All of them should be gone ngl

[split walrus]

Yea

All ll become free agents only

We cant sell em

[violet ibex]

we won't extend their contracts so we should be actively looking to sell mejbri, pellistri, mct, and lindelof at the very least

get 3-10m for mejbri and pellistri, still better than letting them go for free

[split walrus]

Who’s buying bro

No one

[raw idol]

No one wants them because we pay stupidly high wages

No other team can match those wages so they dont want them

[violet ibex]

mejbri and pellistri's wages are not stupid high

[split walrus]

Actually what were arnold n woodward smoking

Like i get they paid high for transfer

But why did they put em on high wages

Make it make sense

i understand u dont know shite about football n transfers

But Atleast u can get the wages right

[raw idol]

They added a clause where when we activate these players extra years we pay them a fee if they move

[split walrus]

They actually were extremely stupid

[raw idol]

Theyve messed us up

We cant get a top tier midfielder or cb

Because they want money upfront

We cant give that max we can do like 40

[violet ibex]

honestly yoro hijack was a stupid thing to do

[raw idol]

We need to go back to fullham accept their bid and move on

[split walrus]

Mejbri n pellistri can be moved

[raw idol]

We need to force wan bissaka out of the club

[split walrus]

Fulham are apparently moving on

[violet ibex]

even if we wanted to hijack yoro, why the hell did they bid like what, 60-70m?

[split walrus]

We didnt know he d get injured

[raw idol]

Because we are were wasting their time

[split walrus]

I doubt there was another way for lille to accept it

[untold sandal]

dude wtf how have we lost 4 of our most integral transfer movements in the span of 1 or 2 days

[violet ibex]

even if he didn't get injured, it was still not a smart hijack. as I said before I'm not putting the injury into equation

[raw idol]

Thing is we paid basically nothing upfront its basically 10m a year for 5 years

[violet ibex]

really? I only know we did this for zirkzee. I didn't know we did this for yoro too

[raw idol]

Yoro dosent limit us psr and the glazers have

[raw idol]

Weve done it for all of them we cant do it for ugarte and de ligt because bayern munich need the money now for the replacement

And psg are demanding the money now

[violet ibex]

this window started off as a 8/10 and now it's looking like a 4/10

[raw idol]

With mazaroui they also increased the price meaning it isnt a -2m loss its a 7m loss

[split walrus]

Yeah. Same w zirkzee

[raw idol]

We have to believe in ineos though

[violet ibex]

bayern can feck off honestly

[split walrus]

Actually bayern should be nice with us just cause of the fact that we got em 20m out of zirkzee sale

[raw idol]

With de ligt hes great but he was also benched for dier that speaks to his quality at bayern munich

[violet ibex]

hope they lose another bundesliga and keep going downhill

[raw idol]

If we go sign emerson from atalanta for half the price of ugarte thats a massive improvement not only do we save money we also get a great ball winner and a person who can pass the ball

The most important thing is we dont do any of this panic buying nonsense the minute we give in to that weve lost the window

[split walrus]

Lets see what happens in January

[violet ibex]

not sure we'll do anything in january

[raw idol]

I still think we will sign a cb + midfielder

[violet ibex]

maybe some panic loans after our whole squad got injured again

[raw idol]

Ander Herrera back to united

[violet ibex]

love the guy

[split walrus]

I dont understand one thing though

We should really have sold Mctominay

[raw idol]

Same we should of paid his wage demand

[split walrus]

25m last yr of contract

[raw idol]

We thought we had the power in the deal turns out we didnt

[split walrus]

Why not just press it

F

[raw idol]

Now there going for our target 🤦

Would be painful to loose out on a target to fullham honestly

[split walrus]

N now we lose him on a free

[violet ibex]

start of season is coming closer. we should just walk away from ugarte. put the deal on the table but walk away. give psg a deadline

[raw idol]

We should get fofana as a midfielder 20-25 million what we need to do now is force mctominay out of the club like chelsea did with gallagher

🚨 BREAKING: Fulham are not expected to return with a new offer for Scott McTominay. They're now focusing on other targets like Fluminense's Andre. [@skysports_sheth] #mufc

Twitter · Aug 6, 2024, 7:34 PM

[violet ibex]

they need to sell ugarte anyway since he's not on their plans and they've bought neves. no reason at all to keep ugarte

[raw idol]

Were being to nice to these players we need to be ruthless like how bayern are being with us

[raw idol]

Old offer may still be on the table

[split walrus]

Bro but they r bot limited by psr

[raw idol]

And if it is accept it as soon as possible

[split walrus]

They got massive mbappe wages off the table

[raw idol]

With pellistri 5m honestly get him gone

Antony force him out to saudi if he dosent want to move he trains seperately like sancho did

[violet ibex]

they still have no reason to keep ugarte tho

[split walrus]

The kind they r, they d keep him just to not sell him to us

[violet ibex]

they're stuck with ugarte like how we're stuck with antony but the difference is they have a suitor and they're still playing hard ball

[raw idol]

Because they believe we will give in

Which we cant do

[violet ibex]

yup, we should give them a deadline and walk away

[raw idol]

Got to move on now get fofana revisit ugarte next year should be much cheaper as he will be a 2nd choice option

[violet ibex]

even if ugarte is a fantastic ball winner, we should explore our options. feck psg and feck bayern

[raw idol]

With the cb and rb situation forget about mazaroui hes got a year left tell him if he wants us badly enough he will move next summer

Unfortunately with de ligt move on that fee is to much for us

What would be the best karma for bayern is us going for tah wouldnt happen but boy would that make for one hell of a story

[violet ibex]

to be fair for de ligt bayern has always asked for that amount, tho they have no interest in negotiating

[split walrus]

Next season is looking gloomy

[raw idol]

Weve caused unease in the bayern camp with mazaroui and de ligt

[split walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/storm-world-meteorological-day-cloudy-day-storm-is-forming-clouds-gif-20801828

[raw idol]

I hope it wont be

[split walrus]

That’s definitely there

[raw idol]

A cb and a midfielder and we can turn a frown upside down

[split walrus]

Atleast both of em and their agent now know what fkd up club bayern is

[raw idol]

And we can get mazaroui for free next year

[split walrus]

De ligt waited so patiently

[raw idol]

With de ligt the only choice is to make him force a move otherwise it wont happen

Same thing needed to happen with branthwaite but he had to much respect for everton

[split walrus]

He can def do that

[raw idol]

Its a choice if he dosent it shows he dosent appreciate us enough to force a move

[split walrus]

But m pretty sure about 1 thing, if we fail to have a good season next. Ten hag is still staying

Cause everybody ll remember the reasons

[raw idol]

Ineos said they want improvements

If he dosent get top six hes gone

[split walrus]

Naa

I think u missed the news

Ineos have told him there’s no pressure for top 4

[violet ibex]

we've been playing well in the pre-season. the players are starting to be able to execute the plans. but it's clear we need better individual qualities

open heart surgery is still ongoing

[raw idol]

Yh but he wont be happy if we dont get top six

A uel trophy may make him pleased though

[split walrus]

That’s obviously there bro. But we are in a worse position than we were last szn

We dont have varane anymore

[violet ibex]

I feel like the unhappiest guy with the placement was ten hag lol

[split walrus]

Currently dont have a DM as well

[split walrus]

He’s just mad unlucky

[violet ibex]

we currently don't have a starter CB

*RCB

[split walrus]

Which were the options last year

[raw idol]

We actually are in the superior position for de ligt it seems

[violet ibex]

wait, how are you able to upload image

[raw idol]

Arent u allowed to?

[split walrus]

Oh right

How the

[split walrus]

U dont have sharpshooter/playmaker role

[violet ibex]

maybe we can upload images in this channel without the extra roles?

[split walrus]

Somupa u try

[raw idol]

Oh right

Idk honestly i didnt use to be able to

I cant do it in general ( fan chat)

[split walrus]

Thing is even if we fail to get mazra

Id really like deligt

[raw idol]

Same

And a rb coming into the window wasnt a priority

[split walrus]

Yeah

Main reasons were
Mazra and Antony linkup
Mazra can play both LB/RB
Good chemistry with de ligt/licha and ten hag

And a replacement to AWB

[violet ibex]

oh nice

[split walrus]

“The transfers of Désiré #Doué and Jonathan #Tah are to be finalized with the proceeds from the sales of De Ligt and Mazraoui.”

[violet ibex]

still no gif I see

[raw idol]

True but we dont need that until next yr ngl

[split walrus]

We lose him on a free

Thats the only issue

[raw idol]

Funnily enough if we dont give them the money then psg get doue

[untold sandal]

THANK YOU INEOS.

[split walrus]

Zirkzee
Yoro
Mazraoui
De Ligt

If somehow we get everything done*

[raw idol]

Have to get a midfielder over a rb even if its a double deal

[split walrus]

Not bad considering how fkd our lineup is

[untold sandal]

Honestly thank you ineos. They understand the situation. This is probably better for ten hag too, he has support that understand his predicament and that are finally willing to support him the whole way

Rather than the pressure of the glazers while having no support, being all on his own and forced to make a difference in just a season

[split walrus]

I think this d also make them realise that the fact that they were looking for his replacement was wrong n him getting 2 trophies with murtough incharge was a big deal

[untold sandal]

Agreed.

The problem is that we are turning into arsenal

'Trust the process'

😭

(im joking its all good lol)

[split walrus]

When berrarda n ashworth r struggling to do it w these players, what d arnold have done anyway

[split walrus]

Thats actually good

They trusted it

Atleast they became title contenders

[violet ibex]

the club had patience with sir alex and he went on to become the best manager in football history

[split walrus]

I believe in ten hag! He is a great coach, great person. Just give him a working squad without injuries n get ur results

[raw idol]

Historically under ten hag we start the season bad then turn it around mostly

First season Liverpool was the turning point could be the same this year

[split walrus]

Casemiro wages r too high man

How ll we sell him off

He is here for 2 more seasons

Mf glazer goons made utd a retirement home

[untold sandal]

I do

Also keep in mind, it wasnt some one season wonder

Remember when mourinho did his 'heritage' speech

'Look at where they play'

Look at where the ajax pals play, genuinely

(Other than antony..)

he raised them well. 70% of them became great players

[violet ibex]

antony really needs to step up and prove himself

[split walrus]

Ya n look at where our outgoings from next yr ll play - nowhere

[raw idol]

Hes just to 1 dimensional

[untold sandal]

look at where they play, how they play, IF they play

https://tenor.com/view/jose-mourinho-mufc-manchester-united-gif-19038875

[raw idol]

Might be the biggest one trick pony ive ever seen

However antony would make a great lb

[violet ibex]

honestly I like antony's attitude and mentality. he started off decently with us. but somehow he shows zero improvement in 2 years

[untold sandal]

He isnt adventurous enough with this football

He doesnt try to innovate chances or go for goal

[raw idol]

He does 1 thing cut in shoot

[split walrus]

I think media played part into it, got into his head

[raw idol]

He dosent even do skills anymore

Other than stepovers

[violet ibex]

maybe if we convert antony into a LW and play him as classic winger instead of inverted one.....

[violet ibex]

even his stepovers are so terrible

[raw idol]

A risk and would take a lot of time

[violet ibex]

and I thought I saw the worst in welbeck

[raw idol]

We have rashford garnacho sancho that all can play lw

[untold sandal]

?

hes left footed

wdym

[split walrus]

Who r our first team defence options next szn if mazra n deligt dont come?

[untold sandal]

he is already a classic winger

[split walrus]

Dalot licha who else

Shaw

[untold sandal]

dalot, licha, shaw, yoro

[split walrus]

Dont count yoro

[untold sandal]

oh ye true

then its fridge

or maybe evans

[split walrus]

Lol

Please god no

[violet ibex]

my guy, antony is an inverted winger

[split walrus]

He’s 5th choice

[untold sandal]

this is literally just a repeat of last season

[untold sandal]

dude antony is left footed on RW

that is a classic winger

[split walrus]

With my goat zirkzee

[violet ibex]

that is inverted winger

[untold sandal]

no it isnt 😭

[split walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/fcb-bayern20-zirkzee-bayernmunich-bayernmunchen-gif-19131152

[untold sandal]

inverted winger would be RW with right foot

[vast jolt]

City are gonna regret selling alvarez

[untold sandal]

messi is left footed. plays on RW

[vast jolt]

Haaland is a living ghost in big games

[untold sandal]

he is a natural winger

[vast jolt]

😂

[untold sandal]

inverted fullbacks are the opposite tho yes

right footed LB = inverted

but in attack its switched

left footed RW = inverted

[vast jolt]

Underrated opinion: Antony would be a solid LB

[untold sandal]

he would

[vast jolt]

hear me out

[violet ibex]

my god. do you not even understand the meaning of inverted?

[untold sandal]

his defensive attributes r underrated

[vast jolt]

Hes good at winning the ball

[untold sandal]

huh

ive always learnt it the opposite. thats always how its referred to me

like ive always heard 'olise is an inverted winger'

heh

nobody ever says messi is inverted

or ronaldo

[violet ibex]

ronaldo is not an inverted winger. messi is

[jolly glade]

Ronaldo's a striker

[vast jolt]

He's a LW actually

[violet ibex]

to be fair ronaldo started off as RW

he played both RW and LW for us

[vast jolt]

At his prime he played as a winger

[untold sandal]

dude my whole perception is warped

ive always thought opposite

[vast jolt]

He was never a pure striker

[violet ibex]

SAF switched flanks with ronaldo a lot of times

but he started off as a RW

[untold sandal]

so like 90% of wingers play inverted that means

bruh

😭

[violet ibex]

it was usually giggs on the left and ronaldo on the right

[violet ibex]

nowadays yeah

during fergie times we played a lot with classic wingers in 4-4-2

[raw idol]

We should bring a cb up from the academy

[vast jolt]

I heard Ronaldo fans saying he was a midfielder

[raw idol]

Or could of kept kambwala man

[split walrus]

We ll

Amass

[violet ibex]

midfielder as in CM? nah, he never played that position with us. mostly RW, often switched to LW

[vast jolt]

Ah alright

It was just made up ig

[split walrus]

Thankfully collyer Atleast d come in

[untold sandal]

A big mass

[violet ibex]

I think becks was the last pure RM for us

he played on the right but he had no pace

not a winger

just crazy crosses

so maybe you can say becks was not a winger but a midfielder?

[split walrus]

He was good at creating linkups

[split walrus]

False Winger 😝

No one wants him

hell, sell mejbri for 1-5m

false brazillian

Sell mejbri for the same price as vdb

[vast jolt]

Antony is the best LB in the world

[vast jolt]

Vdb's transfer fee gets me everytime😂

[violet ibex]

honestly I've been also thinking that antony might cook as a fullback

he has great work rate, very aggressive

Glad its not just me

good stamina

Yh earlier i was saying make him a lb

[untold sandal]

this transfer window if nothing much else changes from now will largely be a failure

even if we made some good signings, its nothing close to what we need

but thats okay. we're gonna need a few windows to do what we need

i think we all shouldve never set our expectations so high based on the first few transfers, i think we shouldve been patient knowing theres so much more to do

[split walrus]

Ineos has shortlisted it to 6 windows

That makes it 3 yrs

Which is very much realistic

[untold sandal]

Sounds good

I'm willing to be patient for that

[untold sandal]

[vast jolt]

Great midfielder

[split walrus]

Let it be

We can’t do much about it now

[vast jolt]

At least he had a vision

[split walrus]

If we manage to get fofana

Ac milan d forever hate us

[untold sandal]

Not the utility we need imo

I like berge more tbh

fofana just seems like a second mainoo

and do we really need a second mainoo?

we have the creator in bruno

we have the goalscoring and holding threat in mainoo

what we lack is someone who can recover the ball and cover a lot of space

[vast jolt]

Hjulmand from Sporting is another option

[untold sandal]

fofana wont do that imo

[untold sandal]

this is what made ugarte desirable

yes he wasnt the best at offensive shooting

[raw idol]

If u look at fofanas 25 most recent 1v1 duels they are horrific honestly

[untold sandal]

but he was so brilliant at just absolutely tearing opponents apart and winning the ball back for possession

[raw idol]

Hes got a 40 mil release clause or something like that i think

Weve got vivell a man with a eye for talent lets hope he finds us some

[split walrus]

Not bad

I like it personally

[raw idol]

This has got me thinking

We sign fofana and berge

[raw idol]

Sets up a move for wharton next year?

Could be the biggest summer of the signing mainoo x wharton with bruno ahead of them

[split walrus]

Overall

Fofana n berge seem great

[split walrus]

@violet ibex take a look at this

[violet ibex]

if we can get fofana for his market value (30m euro) maybe we should

unless monaco wanna be an arse and pull another psg towards us

just a little bit of personal concern, does fofana have any kind of attitude issues or is he clear of anything and has good attitude?

feels like I have to ask this because we somehow have been having problems with talented french players with attitude issues

[grim moon]

I’m getting pissed man. Why can’t we sell anyone. Has to be because we’re Manchester United and no one wants to help

[raw idol]

The wages

And the players want a fee to leave

[untold sandal]

agreed

[raw idol]

I think berge is a player hes chosen imo

Only reason we would go for a player even like him

[untold sandal]

Yuh

I trust him.

Berge is huge

6'4

Absolute monster potentially

[somber sparrow]

Because we don’t really have anyone aside from McTominay who is both a player we truely want to sell and a player clubs want to buy

Lindelof, Maguire, Casemiro and to an extend AWB are on fairly to very high wages and clubs know 3/4 have expiring contracts so they may just wait

we’ll be free of them by next year anyway, i’m just hoping we can buy 3 or 4 more players this window, which we can it’s just that INEOS are trying to do it without using our credit facility

no need to look at it short term, we’re window 1/4 needed for this rebuild to take off

[untold sandal]

Burnley are happy to sell sander berge

This is like a vivell signing

And if we can get a good price (surely he wont be that expensive)

And if he truly has all that potential

Not only will that prove the improvement of our recruitment, but it should be able to leave us enough money to sign amrabat for depth and solidity too

[tribal knot]

I genuinely like the idea of a Berge signing. That kid had talent galore before moving to Sheff Utd.

If he could come in and be a permanent signing equivalent to what Amrabat was last season, then happy days. Another Scandinavian, too, which I'm always a fan of for absolutely no logical reason 😂

[somber sparrow]

I’m not sold on it

but if he does a job and gets about the pitch I won’t complain, can’t be worse than Amrabat

[violet ibex]

is he available for <10m?

[stone vine]

Amrabat played 4 good games all season??? He barely played. We need a starter no?

[stone vine]

Looks ok to me. Fofana that is

[split walrus]

Yes same

[stone vine]

If we end up with Amrabat I might scream

[tribal knot]

We need both, in fairness. As much as there's a great deal of hype about Collyer, I'm still thinking that if Casemiro does leave, then we need a starting and rotation/cover DM.

Berge could very viably do that second job. Not for 30m though.

[tribal knot]

agreed. amrabat just felt like Fred with less legs. need a bit more physicality in there.

[violet ibex]

I personally don't dislike amrabat that much. but he needs to be more consistent. on his good days, he was very good

the question is, can he perform consistently on top level?

that's the biggest concern

[tribal knot]

i doubt it. if that consistency was there, he'd be at a bigger club and they wouldn't be sending him out of fee-paid loans

[somber sparrow]

Not the profile we need

Adamant after doing some research he’s not a dm, he’s an 8

[somber sparrow]

i’d love Fred back right now, baller

[stone vine]

I don’t know enough about him at all. Just going off the stats above. I’m disappointed in Ienos and their new team so far. It all seems very obvious and same old targets. Or same sort of targets. Lots of business to do and season starting. Tbh we say every summer “lots of business to do” genuinely think we might be done and right at end we will sell a couple and end up weaker than we started the summer. We currently aren’t really stronger. Not by much if we are

[split walrus]

Amrabat is a good player

Just inconsistent af

[violet ibex]

ineos started this window as 8/10 and dropped all the way to 4/10

disappointing

[split walrus]

Hire him as vivell’s assistant

[fierce glade]

you need to be patient because you are completely changing your transfer market policy so it takes time. we are trying to get deadwood out of the club which is difficult because of woodward wages proposal to the players. secondly, we are trying to get players by not throwing what the other club wants instead we are lowballing and waiting for them to negotiate. so yeah it takes time.

also the clubs arent ready to accept our proposals because they are used to woodwards style of transfer

[violet ibex]

that's what I've been saying several times now so yeah I'm aware and I agree

[thorny eagle]

We are having trouble with the wages so much that AWB is going to have to take a wage cut to go to WHU and wants compensation from United to cover his lowered salary

[fierce glade]

he basically wants inter

[fierce glade]

there are fans who dont want to wait they think that we are now in a position (after yoro's transfer) that if we put a hand on the player we can get him

[violet ibex]

it's the opposite. yoro's transfer is the one that is messing up our window in the bigger picture

[fierce glade]

true

[violet ibex]

well, or plays a part

but then again, yoro is a wonderkid and should be a good transfer for us after he recovered

[fierce glade]

but the amount we paid for him is high

[violet ibex]

yeah. unnecessarily high

[fierce glade]

but here comes the point,that you cant compete rn with madrid

you have to play something on the table that is not in reach of madrid

let's see

[violet ibex]

lol but that's on the wages and the offer we make to the player

(regarding competing the signature of said player against madrid)

we can just bid what madrid bid plus say 2-5m

and it would've gotten accepted too

if we have to pay that much extra to the club to tell them to pressure the player to sign for us, honestly I'd rather sign someone else who are more willing to come

[fierce glade]

that's what am saying madrid dont pay that much salary plus perks to the players

[raw idol]

We were in a position of power we were able to pay little to nothing upfront because they dont get a say in the deal really its either our money or he goes on a free next summer to madrid

The problem has always been the money we can offer upfront

[fierce glade]

time will tell if yoro's bid was worth it or not

[agile crag]

dumfries is better than mazaroui

[somber sparrow]

We’ll be free in a year from some very high earners

[stone vine]

I get that. But for years we’ve heard the same. This summer is different a new direction etc. then same mistakes. Zirkzee to me is same sort of mistake we’ve made over and over he won’t start even with Hojlund out. We have holes. They should on a tight budget addressed those first. We won’t get 4th unless business picks up in these last few weeks imho

[somber sparrow]

Zirkzee isn’t a mistake my friend

trust me, he’s an absolute upgrade on Martial for a very good fee

We needed to replace Martial and Varane and we’ve done that

we’ve signed Chido-Obi Martin, who trust me is an incredible talent

[stone vine]

If we’d addressed other needs. Zirkzee isn’t a striker. 56 games last season and 13 goals. In Italian league.

[somber sparrow]

our academy has given us a left back and a dm to fill the squad

[stone vine]

Trust me we won’t come 4th with this squad

[somber sparrow]

It’s called a market opportunity

I’m not concerned about top 4 because I can see the vision, we’ll be back in 2-3 years and i’m happy to wait

[stone vine]

We will see. Let’s chat next May.

We won’t be back if we don’t get 4th that’s the point. In 2-3 years we have a load more needs to fill. And we won’t have money to address unless we get 4th back. It’s why we are in this mess. We don’t ever sort the issues. We say it’s ok it’ll take 4 windows. But not seeing we then have 4 more windows of issues to address on top

[somber sparrow]

I don’t see the reason to need to, we’re ways away from competing for top 4 because we need to fix a lot of issues

[stone vine]

Coz it’s worth millions and millions

[somber sparrow]

I’m actually fairly confident we don’t need top 4, we have a great chance in the Europa League to win and get champions league

We need a cb, dm and a fullback and the squad looks solid

[stone vine]

Europa is a lottery one bad game and you are home

We will see mate. I said last summer we would struggle to get 6th and everyone said I was mad.

I hope I’m wrong like I hoped last summer

[somber sparrow]

I don’t even see what we can do this year to fix much of the issues we have, we need Maguire, Casemiro, Lindelof, Eriksen and AWB gone, that won’t happen overnight

[stone vine]

They’ll all walk for free next summer so how will it help next summer?

[somber sparrow]

Next year the market will be better and with some shrewd signings and our existing u18s developing and moving up we’re in a good position

[somber sparrow]

freeing wages and squad registration positions to move for better targets

[stone vine]

When was our last shrewd signing?

[somber sparrow]

I’d argue Amad for £18m

[violet ibex]

zirkzee isn't a mistake

of course we'll need to see him play and prove himself in the prem for us

but on paper he's a very good signing

[somber sparrow]

exactly, I implore anyone who thinks he is to look past goals and assists and see his talent

[stone vine]

He’s played 14 times for us since he signed. Amad was a great signing I love him but

[somber sparrow]

Excellent loan at Sunderland, great end of season last year

Garnacho was shrewd, 450k for a player that good

[stone vine]

I agree I didn’t say he wasn’t. I said in relation to our needs and our budget. He isn’t a striker. He is a forward.

[violet ibex]

amad singlehandedly carried sunderland. he just got very unlucky with injuries and ten hag didn't want to rush him back

I expect him to be our starter RW this season. hopefully he'll stay injury-free

[somber sparrow]

Yep, one of my best mates is a sunderland season ticket holder and absolutely adores Amad

[stone vine]

Hopefully ETH plays him.

[somber sparrow]

When your other options are Antony who’s not good and Garnacho who is perfect to rotate both sides, Amad plays a lot barring injury

[stone vine]

He wasn’t a shrewd signing he was a good signing. He was well known and a big price tag at the time for a young player. I rate Amad highly.

[violet ibex]

we've seen that ten hag likes to play with false 9, which makes sense with rashford, garnacho, amad, and well if he can somehow perform (but I'm not counting on it) antony
I believe zirkzee opens up new tactics for us and would enable both our inverted wingers/inside forwards really well, but then again it will also be up to rashford to perform

[stone vine]

We will see

[violet ibex]

4-2-2-2 which we have seen several times would also work better with hojlund - zirkzee duo up front

[stone vine]

I’d still rather not have another season of what I just watched

We need someone that will actually score

[violet ibex]

(theoretically of course)

[stone vine]

Exactly

[violet ibex]

yeah we were so terrible on this aspect

hopefully ruud will whip our strikers into goalscoring form

[stone vine]

This is why I wish we had signed someone that actually has a good scoring rate and proven out and out striker. We need depth. Not “this might work out” punts.

Striker and Zirkzee and I’d be delighted

[violet ibex]

in chido obi-martin we trust

🙏

[somber sparrow]

Depends on how you consider it hey, I put it down as a shrewd signing in my own opinion

[somber sparrow]

Hojlund showed great promise and finished with 16 goals 2 assists in 38 90s

very good stars for someone who had some injury issues

The strikers we could sign would be Toney and Solanke and i’m not taking either of them for different reasons

[fierce glade]

imo it would take at least 4 windows to compete with city and arsenal

[agile crag]

tbh casemiro is lack of pace

[fierce glade]

in this window we are adding depth and next summer when we will have somemore deadwood out then we will do big signings ig

[fierce glade]

he isnt a dm anymore

[agile crag]

we should play a double-pivot

[somber sparrow]

We already do, it’s just that with Casemiro-Mainoo it naturally becomes lopsided

[agile crag]

did it work ?

we need 1 CB and 1 DM before the market is closed

[somber sparrow]

De Ligt and Cardoso in for under 75m is a steal

then move Eriksen and McTominay on for Matt O’Riley from Celtic

Though we’ve apparently approached Barcelona for Frenkie De Jong as per @michaelplant82 on Twitter who’s supposedly reliable

[fierce glade]

[Chris Wheeler] 🔴 Man Utd want to keep Old Trafford AND build a new stadium ⚫️ Club consider scaled-down OT next to £2bn arena 🔴 Stadium would hold 30k fans and host women's and academy games ⚫️ Munich tributes and club statues would stay in place if plans go ahead

[tribal knot]

Can definitely see Frenkie being one big final marquee signing this window, especially if De Ligt doesn't happen.

Zirkzee, Yoro, Mazraoui, Berge, De Jong + one ETH special random loan is a good window imo

He was good in euros

[shell bobcat]

Do u guys actually think de jong will be helpful? He's gonna be a bigger flop than Casemiro

And his salary will be another problem

If INEOS are actually serious about salary management they should not even consider De Jong as an option

with maguire, lindelof, or evans starting I only pray we're not losing more than 0-3

I'm not too worried since like, I don't think we're contending fir a prem anyways but

Twitter · Aug 7, 2024, 5:55 PM

I hope this deal fails

We cant have Zubimendi playing for lfc

He d tear our midfield alone // substitute one

[vocal monolith]

Club can't do much now . They did enough . Let's hope somehow we manage to get de ligt this transfer window . But it's hard

It's hard too see same pattern again and again . Maguire , Lindelof , McTominay

Our only hope for a new midfielder is McTominay. That's only player who maybe have an market value

Lindelof & Maguire are worthless . No one wants them. Same for Eriksen , Mejbri

They will get a place on a bench of other squads only as free agents

I would have preferred Zubimendi over Ugarte .
And prices are fine for both of them. If u want an top CDM and get it for £60m , in today market that's best price

[untold sandal]

Your right. Its just, we simply cant do 60m thanks to murtough and woodward overspending previously. United cant do 'fair deals' they need GOOD deals.

Also, price for ugarte was definitely not fine

They bought him for 60m and he was definitely worse this season, and they want 70m altogether

Zubimendi for 60m? Its a decent price

I think a very good deal would be for 50m but I'm not sure how united would achieve that. I doubt they would

Its most definitely gonna be either fofana or berge. And I hope its berge. We already have a fofana style player in mainoo, and mainoo is way younger too

[vocal monolith]

Arsenal got Rice for 100m and no one questioned it. And he lack of many abilities on defense

Best way is to develop Collyer & Oyedele . But we are Man United we can't depend on them. We don't have luxury of smaller clubs that can experiment as much as they want and if those prospect fail no one cares.

Also Champions League is a must for next season . We don't have that luxory too to be 2 straight years without CL football .

In same time other clubs are progressing and getting stronger. Chelsea , Newcastle , Vila , West Ham . Top 4 will be a very big fight

Tbh im fine w this

We shouldn’t rush him at all

[untold sandal]

Definitely

I wouldnt like it if he was starting

Wouldnt be good for his development

[split walrus]

Lets see where it goes man! We still dont have depth. We got deadwood all over the pitch and might struggle. I keep my hopes low for next season but considering the number of players who ll leave next summer. Im pretty sure next summer ll be good for us since alot of it ll free the books and ease down the psr

[vocal monolith]

Also 2 deadwood that need to leave and get a team Fish & Bennett .

They aren't gonna make it to ManUtd

[split walrus]

Fish is injured no one ll buy him this summer

[vocal monolith]

Will Fish had a good season in Scotland , but not good enough

[split walrus]

Its nearly half the squad 😂

Add evans to this list

I dont see anyone getting a contract extension here

[vocal monolith]

Eriksen , McTominay , Maguire they have option to extend 1 year.

And club will trigger that coz we still need them

[split walrus]

Do we need Mctominay

No

We literally are trying to sell him
