Transfer Talk

[split walrus]

If we get a better replacement next season, i reckon he’s gone

Maguire n eriksen i can understand

Erik ten Hag hopes to have Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui as soon as possible because the new Premier League season is just nine days away. [@FabrizioRomano, YT]

[vocal monolith]

We need him , he ia very good on the box. Specifically if we are loosing . But we can't keep him as starter bcs we have better players for that position. Bruno , Mount

[split walrus]

@untold sandal

[split walrus]

Lets see, he loses the ball v quick and fails at passing. Def a good clutch supersub but im sure we can find a better replacement next june if not this one

[untold sandal]

ETH wants him
Uniteds whole board wants him
Mazra and De Ligt want united
Mazra and De Ligt dont see their future in Bayern
Bayern need to sell them to get Tah and other targets

And Bayern increase the price of them.

Ahsugdudhdibduebejebjcndind

I'm speechless

WHAT UPPER HAND YOU GOT

HOW ARE YOU INCREASIN?!

[split walrus]

Bayern is playing it slow to make sure we overpay

[vocal monolith]

Just same news over and over. Tired of seeing it. We have arguments with many players.
We should have signed them. But problem is that we can't get a new player without selling . No one will place a bis for Maguire or Lindelof

[split walrus]

They dont need tah as much we need de ligt

[split walrus]

Especially cause last yr of contract + huge wages

[untold sandal]

Then De Ligt needs to force them to negotiate

[vocal monolith]

It's not overpay for De Ligt . 50m in today market for a player like him is a steal

[untold sandal]

He needs to tell them he wants to leave for sure

[split walrus]

Im pretty sure bayern is aware of it cause of the combined agent

But bayern wont play easy

[vocal monolith]

Even without contract , they are worthless.

[split walrus]

Ikr

Thankyou murtough

Woodward

Arnold

[vocal monolith]

Either of them can't play when they are pressured

Maguire will lead directly to own goal

[split walrus]

Lets not 🤣

But I expect a top 5-6 finish next season

Although id love a top 4 and get ucl cause that d make our signings better

Cause players prefer ucl either way

[vocal monolith]

Not any PL defender have more errors leading to own goal than Maguire

He have been good last yearm but he still can't play . Same with McTominay which we have since 2017 on squad and he is still hiding from ball to not get an pass

For me Fred was better . He was more fighter . When Fred lost that ball he tracked that player back till he got it back ( or at least he tried )

[split walrus]

That is there definitely

I liked fred as well

I think we ended up underestimating him n kinda took him for granted without having a clear replacement for him

[vocal monolith]

But i have been so tired of McFred combination . Thanks good that ended

[split walrus]

We can

Soon

Next june

[untold sandal]

yes

but just like

embrace the gif fr

[raw idol]

Good thing is that confirms we arent out of the deal

[split walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/pep-guardiola-we’ll-be-there-pep-guardiola-football-gif-4952949580121807344

[untold sandal]

We were never completely out

We are just looking for other options now unless bayern lower their price

Same with ugarte

[split walrus]

Ya obviously bro we cant get out of it after pushing for it nearly 3/4th of the window 😭

[raw idol]

There is genuinely better options than de ligt for a more affordable price

This is de jong 2.0 we dont need this

We value mctominay at 30m and de ligt at 30m what is the logic honestly

[vocal monolith]

Who ?

[vocal monolith]

De Ligt is much more valuable than Scott. His only problem is injuries he has lately. But that is a risk. Probably he will play all season . That can happen to any player

We signed Maguire for £80m . And questing De Ligt for €50m who is miles ahead as player

In today market a top Center Back cost £70-100m

[raw idol]

Im an admirer of danso cheaper and i think if given the chance he would force a move to us

[raw idol]

Yh but then on the flipside if u think of it from the bayern camps view there thinking how can u offer us 30 million and value mctominay at 30 when de ligts a far superior footballer

[vocal monolith]

I think club should have accepted that 20m for Scott .

[raw idol]

I agree but ive got a bad feeling we give him a new deal now

I dont think ten hag wanted to sell him

[split walrus]

Yes!

Even the 23-24m we were getting

It d have been perfect tbh

Atleast 1 player d have been signed if that happened

[raw idol]

Ineos clearly must have thought our players would spark more interest than they have

These wages are a joke as well

[vocal monolith]

Scott is an big if.
But him and AWB are the only players we will be able to sell

[split walrus]

Which sadly didnt happen cause of the shite wages

Im pretty sure somehow we ll end up getting de ligt n mazra. Only thing i cant say for sure is what the price will be

[vocal monolith]

That's what stopping the sale process .

Wich club can offer Maguire 200k week?

[split walrus]

Lol

[vocal monolith]

All top 10 clubs don't need Maguire . Other doesn't hava capacity to offer him even 100k week.

[raw idol]

I dont think we will we haven’t increased the fee we’ve offered since the negotiations have started

Basically made 0 progress on them really

[split walrus]

I think the max bid on de ligt we did was 34m

[raw idol]

Both sides are firm in their ways which makes this deal basically impossible

[split walrus]

But bayern ll have to sell de ligt eventually

They are bound to

Cause they wanna sign tah

[raw idol]

They want to but they believe their in a position of power so they wont budge at all

[split walrus]

Yes

Well, time ll tell

Lets see what happens bro

[raw idol]

If it happens it will be the near the end of the window

Even if we sign them now they cant start against fulham

[split walrus]

1 sept is lfc fixture

F

[violet ibex]

60m for zubimendi kinda makes more sense than 60m for ugarte

the biggest reason being ugarte is nowhere in psg's plans

ugarte is a great ball-winner, which psg don't need

and they have bought neves

[split walrus]

Where do we bring the 60 from

[raw idol]

We need zubimendi i would urge us to but lets remind ourselves that they want the money upfront as its a release clause its not affordable even if mctominay is sold

[split walrus]

Also Zubimendi can be a hard deal since sociedad doesn’t want him to leave

And we wont trigger release clause

[raw idol]

I think we can pay a maximum of 50 million upfront but remember we want de ligt its pick or choose

[violet ibex]

honestly our whole budget for the window was not publicly disclosed so idk our real specific budget

[split walrus]

Thats true

[raw idol]

All we know is we have no upfront money or very limited

Its why we cant reach the demands for de ligt

[violet ibex]

our budget aside, I was just saying that 60m for zubimendi (the release clause) is more sensible

psg demanding 60m for an excess player they're looking to offload is weird

[violet ibex]

we are so broke

suffering from shite glazers/woodward/murtough legacy

stupid decisions after stupid decisions

not to mention glazers taking dividents every year

[raw idol]

What i hope we end up doing is we get fofana and de ligt next summer wharton from palace

The best player to pivot with mainoo

[raw idol]

They still do

None of that 1.3 billion ineos paid is in the club

[violet ibex]

heard they're not gonna take dividents for 3 years

part of the deal with ratcliffe

we're still suffering from them tho

hate glazers with all my life

[raw idol]

What we need is them gone entirely

Surely ineos must have a plan to remove them from power

In the original articles that were posted it was never portrayed as ineos will be buying them out in a certain period

[split walrus]

Yes

[split walrus]

Even if they do, how ll it happen if glazers come down as unwilling to sell

[raw idol]

Protests

If we have a bad season this year fans will become rattled and the protests will occur

[split walrus]

Bro I doubt protests ll happen since everybody knows the underlying issues

[untold sandal]

Btw, what I've got from romano YT-

Despite dumfries posts on twitter mazra remains top RB target, and united are still willing to go for de ligt and mazra if bayern can adjust their valuations and stuff. Its only a matter of time before united begin going for someone else tho

But as of now, united will be looking for other options if bayern wont comply

The dumfries talks we have seen on twitter are mostly irrelevant. Its still only a potential proposition

And united dont have concrete talks for dumfries just yet

[raw idol]

It will happen the underlying issue is the glazers they wont protest for ineos out but they will for the glazers

When the hardtimes come knocking we will look for someone to blame it cant be ten hag cant be ineos it leaves the glazers

[violet ibex]

we have been protesting glazers for years tho

[raw idol]

What ive noticed is were like a day behind in reports we saw that with ugarte where we suddenly dropped out and then the next day its revealed fullham dont want mctominay for the price we want

[raw idol]

Yh exactly even easier to blame their already associated with the bad times

[violet ibex]

one of the biggest thing you can do is ironically to not give them money. don't buy match ticket, jersey, merch, tv subs, those collectibles or whatever

[untold sandal]

Yeah, fulham have likely dropped out unless we lower price

Ugarte is currently dead at the current price we're seeing, I'm not sure whether loan talks are still on but as of now PSG dont seem to budge so ugarte is mostly dead

And most likely targets we got next is either fofana or berge

(I really hope its berge)

thats if we dont get ugarte

[violet ibex]

hopefully berge is available for 10m

[untold sandal]

Agreed

Its a vivell signing for sure

I dont see anyone else pulling him as an option tbh

[violet ibex]

need him to push for the signing too, which makes huge sense from the player's side

[untold sandal]

And vivell, well, I'd just let em cook. He rarely steps a foot wrong

[untold sandal]

Yep

If this is a vivell signing, I'd be really stoked for berge. Vivell knows whats good and he very well could be VALUE for price

[split walrus]

This is nearly impossible to happen

[raw idol]

Vivell will give good cb alternatives i have no doubt

[split walrus]

Until the match is stopped like the 2021 esl scene

[raw idol]

Just need more protests

When we stopped united vs Liverpool that was a statement of intent from the fans

[untold sandal]

The problem is we dont need 'good', we need top quality. We have plenty of players who would be good substitutes but simply arent at the starting level

[violet ibex]

we can't control others, but we can do it ourselves and talk about it asking people to support the cause

which has been happening for years tbh

[untold sandal]

Thats exactly why De Ligt wouldve been so perfect. So much quality, so much potential, he absolutely wants us, he was brilliant under ETH and both of them know they can do great things together

Everything about it makes sense. Literally the only reason we dont have de ligt rn is because bayern are stingy clowns

[violet ibex]

but yeah, unfortunately we are the biggest club and our stadium is always full regardless. suffering from success

[raw idol]

Honestly are substitutes arent good enough evans dosent start for anyone else lindelof he might get into a bottom half side

Maguire in a 5 back he may start

[violet ibex]

yeah I also don't think we have 'good' players even for substitutes

[raw idol]

There below average

[violet ibex]

lindelof, mctominay, evans are nowhere near the quality required for man utd

[raw idol]

If u look at who are we competing for top 4 with we arguably the weakest team

[untold sandal]

this

[violet ibex]

maguire might actually be good in serie A

but doesn't suit us

[untold sandal]

Chelsea have a better back 4 than us

And thats concerning

very concerning

[raw idol]

Liverpool are stronger than us spurs are villa are newcastle are chelsea have better depth

We could end up with finishing sixth

[untold sandal]

like i dont fkin understand

what more do they need 😭

[violet ibex]

casemiro unfortunately has declined very very hard

[raw idol]

Maybe its time to prioritise uel 🤔

[violet ibex]

his first season was an absolute beast

[raw idol]

😂 so greedy

[violet ibex]

woah chelsea are in huge need of RB smh. gotta sign 2 more RBs real quick

2 more RBs, 1 more LB, 1 more RW and 1 more LW at the very least

while they're at it, sign 2 new managers too

[untold sandal]

SEVEN GKS

FKIN SEVEN GKS

LIKE I CANT

[violet ibex]

🤣

they fecking have more GKs than we have CBs

[raw idol]

They are still paying graham potters weekly wages until November 😂

[untold sandal]

fr 😭

[raw idol]

Graham potter has made basically 8 and a half million pounds since leaving chelsea its mental

[violet ibex]

🤣

I didn't know that

actually hilarious

[untold sandal]

Chelsea got what they deserved

They didnt give him any time to run a shite ridden club and so potter was like 'oh well, atleast i got a fk loadda cash'

[violet ibex]

🤣

[violet ibex]

feck please no

[raw idol]

If there was ever a time for a hijack its now

[split walrus]

🚨 It hasn't been possible for West Ham to work out a deal for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. They're now looking at Kieran Trippier. [@mcgrathmike] #mufc

wtf is this man

[violet ibex]

checked out fan chat for a bit and as usual it's people fighting lol

is there a chill channel where people just talk football other than this channel?

otherwise I guess I'll just walk away when the transfer window closed since this is transfer talk

[raw idol]

Im guessing Matchday channel

[slender cape]

Can we not do a swap - Ugarte for Sancho

[flat hedge]

#┃⚽・matchday-chat #┃💬・fan-chat

[somber sparrow]

You do know his reported 600k wage is made up of money owed to him by Barcelona due to him deferring his wages

His actual base wage is 250k a week

in order for us to sign him, he’d need Barcelona to pay him his owed money

previously they attempted to have us pay this on top of the fee, i’m not sure whether he can leave without agreeing a pay out but we certainly won’t be paying the money for Barcelona

[violet ibex]

and it's very unfair for the player

very very bad and dishonest move from barcelona

[jolly glade]

This Barcelona also wanted Messi to play for nothing 🤣

[violet ibex]

to be broke is one thing, but to disrespect your players is another

😭

[somber sparrow]

If we got De Ligt, De Jong and Mazraoui in i’m very confident we’ll do well, that’s like a dream window if we can manage to get them on form and keep them fit

[violet ibex]

we're hanging on a thread between 4/10 and 8/10 window

[jolly glade]

I want De Ligt and a defensive midfielder and I’ll be happy

Ten Hag has been hell bent on De Jong so if the opportunity is there to get him on a cut price, I wouldn’t complain

[tribal knot]

let's not mention the whole owing-malcom-money-to-now-out-of-business-bordeaux-but-still-signing-olmo thing either 😄

[raw idol]

Bloody glazers 🤬

[thorny eagle]

First comment is ace 🤣🤣

[raw idol]

[split walrus]

Apparently berge wants to join

[thorny eagle]

That like saying I want a night with Shakira!

[raw idol]

He plays for Burnley

[raven cargo]

Manchester United have threatened to walk away from negotiations over Bayern Munich centre-back Matthijs de Ligt after the Bundesliga side refused to lower their asking price. (GIVEMESPORT)

Potentially leaving Man Utd could be winger Antony as Saudi Arabian outfit Al Nassr have registered an interest in getting a deal done. (Football Insider)

Another striker who could still be on the move is Ivan Toney of Brentford, with Man Utd considering a bid late in the transfer window. (Football Insider)

[raw idol]

We also pay stupid wages course he wants to join guys going to make triple than what he does at burnley

[thorny eagle]

Hopefully INEOS won't do this! If he comes in I'm hoping he gets an increase but not a huge one

[jolly glade]

Toney on loan would be interesting

Wouldn't risk a full buy but to at least see if he can work well in the system

[thorny eagle]

Option to buy, obligation if he scores 15+ goals? Brentford cover 50% of his wages while on loan. Think the bees will go for it?

[tribal knot]

the whole reason he wants to leave is because he's stuck on a hideous 20k p/w contract.

[split walrus]

Long story short, these putgoings wont happen. Even if they do. They ll be on losses

Only way is to go through it and let them go on a free

[tribal knot]

exactly the sort of player we should avoid. would only want to come here for the paypacket, and then where's the motivation gone?

[thorny eagle]

Offer £50k and see what he says 🤣

[tribal knot]

might nibble.

again, don't also see the point though when we've just signed Zirkzee and are committed to developing Hojlund too

if we do sign another forward, it's got to be someone with pace and can play wide; or someone older that's happy to be a striker version of jonny evans

[raw idol]

Then we will piss off martin who we just signed and promised him hes the third choice striker

[thorny eagle]

Toney would just be a stop gap I think! Would have him 2 maybe years and he won't play that much if we can develope the younger lads

I don't think we are even seriously in for him tbf

[tribal knot]

Josh King's a free agent, just saying

😛

[raw idol]

Id cry

[thorny eagle]

Heard Schneider isn't playing for a club right now...

[violet ibex]

honestly people should stop sharing the non-credible rumors of all striker links. it's not gonna happen this window

[split walrus]

Yes

Brace yourself though

[violet ibex]

CB and DM are very very high priorities. urgent even

[split walrus]

Here we go Zubimendi to lfc can happen soon

[violet ibex]

meh. lfc fans are gonna be very happy with that

going complete opposite from "wtf fsg why are man utd getting all the good signings" to laughing at our faces

I know it's not man utd's fault that bayern and psg are playing hardball, but I'm severely disappointed in how they've been handling the situation

[split walrus]

Yes

Especially bayern

[violet ibex]

can't do shite about it? go with plan B. explore your options

[split walrus]

Psg is a stupid club anyway

[violet ibex]

instead ineos are doing fdj 2.0

[thorny eagle]

I'm not! I'm glad they are walking away now! Look elsewhere and see if they come crawling back

[thorny eagle]

I'm not keen on this tbf! Unless he is cheap and we don't pay the owed wages

[violet ibex]

should've looked elsewhere from 1-2 weeks ago. that's why I'm very disappointed in how they've been handling the situation

or, if they insisted on making the deals happen, do better with selling our dead weed

couldn't even wrap mct nor awb deals

[thorny eagle]

Fair point! Should have walked earlier but we aren't in on negotiations! Maybe they were given assurances a deal could be done and as soon as it was apparent they couldn't get a deal they walked away

[violet ibex]

couldn't even sell any dead weed on last year of their contracts that are obviously not in our plans

[thorny eagle]

Contracts aren't INEOSs fault to be fair! They look like they are working on reducing the wages and offering more realistic salaries

[violet ibex]

I hope we're handling the signing of our new target(s) efficiently

community shield and new season are knocking on the door

we don't have any starter RCB

and any starter quality DM for that matter

[raw idol]

Not their fault but protests against the glazers will happen soon which will be good

[violet ibex]

the sooner glazers go out of our club completely, the better

I'm so fed up with them

[split walrus]

Hate glazers

Idk if they ll leave in my lifetime

But I hope they do

[raw idol]

My question is can ineos afford to buy the whole club?

[split walrus]

They can

But

25% they bought itself was overpriced

So imagine the rest 75

[raw idol]

I dont think they can imo thats why they went for a small share

[violet ibex]

nah I don't think ineos are that rich, glazers are demanding stupid money

[raw idol]

Basically licked there arse gave them what the glazers wanted

[split walrus]

Ineos have a net worth of 60b

[raw idol]

Ratcliffe himself is valued at 28

[raw idol]

Would he be willing to essentially put 10 billion in to the club

[violet ibex]

btw community shield is already in 2 days

[raw idol]

Hes making the clubs value increase so it will cost more

[violet ibex]

we are fecked

[split walrus]

Entity’s net worth is different

[split walrus]

True

[violet ibex]

ineos have been handling this transfer sitation so terribly

[split walrus]

They cant do much honestly

These players wont get sold

[violet ibex]

and fans will bash ten hag for starting maguire and casemiro against city and losing 0-3

[split walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-7523306793289960933

[raw idol]

Maguire might not be fit for it

[vocal monolith]

I wasn't excepting more than this.
They started it very good. And no one excepted more than 2-3 players coming this transfer window .

There is no space for more

[violet ibex]

even worse because as bad as maguire is, the other options are even worse

[violet ibex]

we were already expecting de ligt and ugarte to happen right after euros and copa ended. which they couldn't do

[vocal monolith]

We got a top CB world class prospect. And a very good forward. They can't do more without removing those useless players first

[raw idol]

They knew they couldnt afford to do it they should of stopped both deals

[violet ibex]

^ basically this

[raw idol]

And mazaroui shouldnt of been a option we didnt need a rb desperately

[violet ibex]

they know their budget. if it seems unlikely to happen with the budget, go explore other options

instead of insisting on negotiating with clubs that don't want to negotiate

not rocket science really

[vocal monolith]

Also INEOS though different before transfer window started . They where hoping to get some sale from players . But no one is interested on them.
We can't do business with AG Nice . Todibo was target and we can't send players there also.

[split walrus]

I guess we ll have quite alot of signings next yr

[vocal monolith]

It's not INEOS fault that no one want Lindelof

[split walrus]

Considering we ll be free from alot of wages w free transfers

[violet ibex]

nobody was talking about todibo. it was obvious from the start of the window

[split walrus]

He’s moving to juve now

[violet ibex]

mourinho wanted lindelof

[raw idol]

We knew about todibo for months now

[split walrus]

He backed out

[raw idol]

Branthwaite we put in some bids that were pointless

[violet ibex]

yeah

we handled the branthwaite situation well

wish we used the same common sense in other deals

[split walrus]

It ll take Atleast 3 june windows Atleast

[vocal monolith]

We have an full squad . In order to get a new player the want to sell or offload somehow one first .

[violet ibex]

our plastic fans will bring out the pitchforks against ten hag again at this point

[violet ibex]

false. we don't have a full squad. we just don't have the budget

[split walrus]

That’s like 60% of the fanbase

[vocal monolith]

Eveb if we leave Maguire for free this year , he still would want his £10m for 1 year left on contract

[violet ibex]

english medias are getting ready to have fun with our results

[split walrus]

Yeah

Sad

[raw idol]

A reminder spurs highest paid player is son 190k a week whos had so many good seasons for them. rashford after one good season bumped him up to over 300k a week

[split walrus]

These stupid contracts are the main obstacles

[violet ibex]

get the rotten eggs ready and throw them at murtough whenever you happen to pass by him

[tribal knot]

to be fair though, if ETH played with any sort of discipline/midfield, our squad was good enough to challenge for top 4.

his silly 4222 where the CMs push-up and everyone sits on the edge of the opposition box is what cost us there, not a lack of investment in the squad.

could it do with improving? 100% yes, but there's still enough talent there not to struggle at full strength vs newport, for example

[split walrus]

Are u being sarcastic? 😕

[tribal knot]

not in the slightest

not sure where any sarcasm could be, there tbh

[split walrus]

Well i do think no matter what happens, eth is not going anywhere

[tribal knot]

this side capitulated against Newport County; dragged back to 2-2 from 2-0 up.

I'm not saying to sack ETH, he just needs to adjust those god-awful tactics from last season as it was all ridiculously naive

[split walrus]

Varane used to make a difference

[violet ibex]

while ten hag has definitely made questionable decisions and mistakes, I honestly don't think that our squad was good enough to challenge for top 4. watching every single match last season would show how badly our players performed. individual mistakes, error in positionings and decision makings, not finishing up chances

[tribal knot]

how many of those errors were caused by us pressing high with a low block though? we had no midfield for about 70% of games

[violet ibex]

taking one match as the sample size to make an argument is not legit enough unfortunately. it's like if I take the match against city in the FA cup final and base my whole point on that

because we've seen there are ups and downs throughout the season

[violet ibex]

I agree with this point tho

it's definitely one of the things I'd like us to improve or change

[tribal knot]

there's so many more games with the exact same display.

'not legit enough' 🤦‍♂️

[violet ibex]

because we are trying to be a transition team and we can see the shapes executed well at times. if you watched the pre-season games you can see the promising shapes especially on offense when we transitioned into a 3-2-5.
last season it looks like our players couldn't execute the shape anywhere near well enough

however, my concern still remains. maguire, lindelof, and evans don't suit this tactic

[stone vine]

Yeah these reliable sources keep changing their mind. Originally they claimed he had signed coz he was told he was third choice striker. Which to me seemed bonkers

[thorny eagle]

No way united signed him for the first team! Heard he is great (not actually watched him myself) but I cannot see us playing him in the first team!

[stone vine]

Yeah that’s my feeling but he was (they claimed) behind Hoj and Zirk and then him. No way. Wed play Amad or Rashford there or sancho. And tbh we should be signing somone but I’m tired of banging that drum

[thorny eagle]

I'm not opposed to a false 9 if they have had the drills and training on how to play that way! So Sancho/Bruno could work there! Wouldn't have Rashford or Amad in the middle imo. If Hojlund can stay fit I think we have enough cover up top! Or at least it's not a priority for me. We need a CDM and CB

But if you need to use the phrase "if they can stay fit" you're already gambling! Zirkzee is the cover and we should be fine but we definitely do need more depth all over the team

[stone vine]

To me it’s bonkers to be gambling on having another season like the last couple where goals are a chore to get. Get a proper goal scorer back up in. Help everyone out. You can still play a fake striker (lol) but when it fails… have a striker to throw on. We’ve had two years of getting out of jail. And even then not always getting out of jail id just like to feel like we had goals in us.

[split walrus]

This season definitely ll be a gamble. Keep your expectations low. We lack depth and are in a worse position than last year. Hoping that changes a bit after we get the deal done with bayern. But ten hag’s gonna have alot of media heat on him

[stone vine]

My expectations are low. The club should be aiming for 4th. But currently we will struggle with 6th. We need goals.

[split walrus]

Yes very realistic. Onana’s risk statement scares me. But top 4 means a wonderful season considering the issues we cant fix.
We again are left on the main issue we couldn’t fix last season - the backline. It’s the past mistakes obviously. Next window definitely ll be better with all the contracts ending.

[stone vine]

This will be the illest prepared we are going into a season. Last season was bad but injuries made it worse. We know we are having a lot of injuries and we haven’t addressed it. With outgoings we’ve had and just the two incomings it’s gonna be a long joyless season. We might win a trophy but like last season it’ll be ugly.

[split walrus]

trophy hmm

I wont count on europa

Carabao maybe

Would love the europa though

Maguire, Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka weren't spotted in training at Carrington on Wednesday.[@StevenRailston]

This definitely is worrying

These players had such a long break

They deserve someone like Thiago motta showing them the doors

Leverkusen have given Bayern a deadline to finalise the signing of Jonathan Tah because they want clarity for their squad planning. Leverkusen are pushing for a final decision. If there's no offer by the weekend, Tah will stay at Leverkusen, and won't sell for less than €30 million. [@BILD]

This is perfect

Bayern needs to sell to buy

And they definitely wont like losing on tah

[flat hedge]

BRO ANTONY IS NOT GOING TO SAUDI ALREADY

PLS NO😭😭

[somber sparrow]

It’s going to be a poor window regardless, we’re just too hamstrung

but the shining light as per usual will be our academy producing one or two players that come in and make it so we have numbers

We should be thankful tbh

Our problem seems less complicated

Looking at what chelsea is doing

[violet ibex]

bayern are being really weird

[split walrus]

Yeah

No idea why

[vocal monolith]

It's not about us. But they are running from a transfer like we did with jarred guy from everton.

Maybe started thinking that they need De Ligt more than Tah .

And De Ligt was favourite CB in every big game bayern had last seasons.

They just don't want to overpay for Tah.

Bayern need De Ligt + Mazra money to sign Tah & Doure.

And probably this "walk away" from Tah is just mind games for us to pay what they ate asking

[split walrus]

Thats sad

[vocal monolith]

But without one more good CB & LBit will be an very bussy season

[stone vine]

Tbf he isn’t gonna say “it’s dire and we are a panic” coz everyone would hike prices so he has to say that. We aren’t in a good position at all. Player we wanna sell are injured we haven’t got deal done and he knows that. I hope we get them done but he has to say all is good.

we need de ligt

He is 29

He’d be a good backup player

We need some free agents. 100%. can play CB or LB. Seems sensible

We should go quickly but sensibly as there’s interest from other clubs, I believe Inter Milan and AC Milan are seeking his signature too

[violet ibex]

how good is he? what is his style of play? wondering why he's been a free agent since 1st of july

we do need a CB and I'm happy we're signing a free agent cus we're broke and beggars can't be choosers, but I hope at the very least he's better than lindelof or evans

I mean de ligt and mazra both want united. Come the fk on.

[violet ibex]

meanwhile we tried to play hardball om mct and got nothing out of it

[untold sandal]

We dont even need mctominay anymore

His whole thing was making late runs

Zirkzee can do that now

[split walrus]

Ok guys zirkzee has a debut tomorrow

[untold sandal]

And mctominay provides nothing else than that

[untold sandal]

And yoro's gonna be till novemeber

[untold sandal]

Ye. Tbh sancho can play too

[violet ibex]

no RCB til November ia extremely concerning

[untold sandal]

And sancho was pretty good on tour

[split walrus]

We d have played rashy otherwise

[untold sandal]

Yeah

[untold sandal]

I think we will play same 4-2-4 kinda system

[split walrus]

Doubt

[violet ibex]

can we just sign de ligt asap

[split walrus]

Erik loves 4-2-3-1

[untold sandal]

Front four will prob be

Rashford - Zirkzee - Bruno - Amad

[violet ibex]

cb should be a priority

[untold sandal]

Sancho comes on for zirkzee, garna comes on for amad

[violet ibex]

I'd rather cope with case/collyer than coping with evans/maguire

[violet ibex]

yes, our plays during pre-seasom have been very good. now we just need the quality

[untold sandal]

He's going to liverpool

I'm not surprised

Liverpool are slow asf

Wtf are fsg doing

We surely wouldve gotten ugarte or zubi if we didnt have financial constraints by now

[split walrus]

Fsg in

[untold sandal]

Overall, I have kinda calmed down

Because this whole united rebuild isnt a 1 window thing

Shades right. Its going to take a couple of seasons before united is repaired

[split walrus]

Fit squad

[untold sandal]

Honestly, this all puts into perspective how insane it is we reached #3 in 22/23. Nobody talkin about that?

[split walrus]

It already got confirmed though, ineos is expecting 6 windows

[untold sandal]

ETH performed miracles

[untold sandal]

Yeah

So 2-3 seasons

[split walrus]

Arsenal finished 8th twice before climbing the table

Its alright

[violet ibex]

fsg should had re-appointed brendan rodgers or dalglish

[untold sandal]

ETH finishing 3rd in his first season with the shitehoursery glazer structure was actually incredible

I wish we knew that then

[split walrus]

That happened cause of a few more reasons

Licha x varane
Rashford brace
Casemiro was exceptional

[untold sandal]

Casemiro completely changed our defense

He completely changed our mentality

Thats what led us to glory

[violet ibex]

I knew 😂

[untold sandal]

If casemiro stays, I dont mind it as much because I want him to pass that mentality on to collyer and mainoo

[untold sandal]

Damn, you shouldve told us 😭

[split walrus]

His wages r too high for doing just a pep talk 😭

[untold sandal]

Keep in mind I still do think casemiro should be sold

Dont think i'm saying like casemiro SHOULD stay

But atleast if he DOES stay, we have that big benefit

[violet ibex]

I agree

[fierce glade]

if we have a fit squad,we can play 12 players?

[split walrus]

😂

Who ll be the 12th

Ten hag

As cb

[fierce glade]

your sqaud consists 12 players XD

that's like the opponent team have already a red card before starting the match

Since how long have we been seeing this man I'm fed up of this news

INEOS signed zirkzee and yoro and called it a day

[split walrus]

Jorge mendes helping us

[shell bobcat]

Even after having a shite transfer window liverpool managed to sign Zubimendi

And look at us still making contacts since june

[split walrus]

They havent signed him yet

[shell bobcat]

It's almost done

Here we go next week

[split walrus]

Outgoings is the issue bro

We have signed 2 players alr

They haven’t

We are failing to sell

Cause of last year of contract

[shell bobcat]

No one is willing to leave

[split walrus]

• they r not good enough

• high wages

[raw idol]

Its the clauses we have in their contracts

It allows them to basically get a high fee if we activate extensions and so on

Awb wont leave mctominay could leave but he wont

[shell bobcat]

AWB wants 7m to leave

So I don't see it happening

De ligt deal is slowly fading away

Realistically

We might end up overpaying and get de ligt and ugarte

can we overpay tho? i mean we need outgoings to reach what we are offering rn

[split walrus]

We never had the outgoings issue under woodward 🤣🤣🤣

they need them

[split walrus]

Fr?

I was hoping it was true

[raw idol]

Isnt he the one who did the digne leak?

[split walrus]

Not very sure

@safe geode might know

[safe geode]

His news are 80% true

Just don't like his attitude

He seems to be a fenerbahce fan from outside

[split walrus]

Wow

[safe geode]

But I'm 100% sure he is not from the inside

[split walrus]

Kaan rate ferdi to united 🤣

[safe geode]

So

As a fenerbahce fan 8/10

Solid money

But I will miss him a lot

A lot

I loved him

[split walrus]

He’s such a goated player

I love him

[safe geode]

True

[split walrus]

Literally plays all over the pitch

[safe geode]

He'll do very well

[split walrus]

Only gk is left

[safe geode]

Mourinho wanted him to stay too

[feral solar]

Sign fermin lopez

And pau cubarsi

[safe geode]

The positions he played in his career

[split walrus]

Yes m aware 🤣

Only gk left

[feral solar]

Who's ferdi?

[fierce glade]

at least we will be over with this

[split walrus]

Turkish player. Plays for fenerbahce. Class LB

Very consistent

And good at what he does

[feral solar]

Kadioglu?

[split walrus]

Yes

[fierce glade]

yeah that was totally crap

[split walrus]

Ferdi Kadioglu

[fierce glade]

except licha

[feral solar]

I did a fenerbache career mode a while ago and he was by far the best LB in the save

He rose to a 90

[split walrus]

Yes him

He ll be the perfect signing for us

[feral solar]

Luke shaw should be sold

[fierce glade]

but we arent after him

[feral solar]

Who agrees

[split walrus]

We are

[fierce glade]

brighton are

[feral solar]

I say we sell shaw and prioritize malacia

[split walrus]

#1247191679363059712 message

See this

[fierce glade]

we arr after everyone if you are talking in that sense

[fierce glade]

nah cant do that

[feral solar]

If malacia is like Luke shaw injury problems then we get another LB

[stray jetty]

they are hoarding players like its nothing

[feral solar]

On his day malacia is such a good lb

[fierce glade]

malacia wont return

[feral solar]

SPAIN SCORED

2-1

FERMIN LOPEZ

[fierce glade]

he is but he had another setback

[feral solar]

It's just the knee injury he had

[fierce glade]

we have 3 uncertain players at lb

[feral solar]

He's back in October

Which is good news

I genuinely believe malacia is a key player for us

Twitter · Aug 9, 2024, 6:57 PM

[split walrus]

Awb vs our wingers next szn 😂

I wonder what was the solution to the compensation he wanted

[vocal monolith]

Just don't play too wide against him.

[vocal monolith]

Probably £2m, depends on what West Ham are offering .

[split walrus]

Yeah could be

[vocal monolith]

So we need to add some more for first year , to complete his wages for 1 more year

[split walrus]

@shell bobcat we finally are close

[violet ibex]

I hope AWB demanding 7m payoff was fake news because that would make me lose all respect for him

[split walrus]

It’s alright man

Whats done is done

If this news is true that is

[violet ibex]

yeah hope so

need a movement asap

[split walrus]

What was west ham offering?

18?

[violet ibex]

we can't make it in time for community shield but at least we should wrap all transfers before new season start

[violet ibex]

latest report was 18 yeah

[split walrus]

So that means we can just get mazra done

[jolly glade]

De Ligt and Mazraoui to United likely 💪

[split walrus]

What about de ligt

[violet ibex]

hopefully

[split walrus]

Hoping we got enough to get them both

[vocal monolith]

He can't demand that. Usually go this way. Players get full wages of what left on that contract. So lets say he is on 100k wages now at ManUtd . WestHam is offering him 50k wages , we need to add more 50k to him . And he can get what agreed for the years left on us

[jolly glade]

I’m predicting a double deal once we get the money

Wan Bissaka leaving is promising to the deal going through

[violet ibex]

the unlikely dream would be de ligt, ugarte, mazraoui, and kadioglu

but we're struggling hard just to get ugarte and de ligt so kadioglu seems unlikely

well, at least we've got amass

shaw and malacia sharing a bed on hospital room

[jolly glade]

I think it’ll be De Ligt, Mazraoui and Ugarte by the end of the window

[violet ibex]

yeah, this would be the the realistic one

and I'll call it a very good window

all things considered

[split walrus]

Aaaaa id love that

[jolly glade]

It’d be much better than last summer

[violet ibex]

definitely

[split walrus]

But kadioglu we can afford

If not ugarte

[jolly glade]

We just need a team that won’t crumble

Kadioglu is interesting

[split walrus]

Kadioglu is the perfect lb

He’s always available n is consistent

[violet ibex]

is rabiot still a free agent? would be funny if he follows in de gea's footsteps and go on a year without a club lol

[split walrus]

I dont

Wanna

Talk

About

Rabiot

[jolly glade]

Rabiot is still free yes

[split walrus]

We should stay as far as we can from him 😃

[violet ibex]

imagine his mom's expression when she learned no club wanted her son

[jolly glade]

Ugarte is just the perfect choice imo. He’s under 25 and has the perfect traits to replace Casemiro as a starter

[violet ibex]

also he can play anywhere. would love us to have the turkish o'shea

[jolly glade]

Was the whole De Jong thing a farce again?

[violet ibex]

and "ferdi kadioglu" is just a much cooler name than "john o'shea" so

o'shea but cooler

[violet ibex]

I believe so yes

haven't seen a single tier 1 source talking about de jong to us this window
