I'm guessing Yedder is being signed as the second choice behind Rashford ?

He's just off his best ever season by a distance so that would raise the price but then he is 29 in August and zero international caps , Very hard to call what's value he is ,

What is the price being talked about >

4 international caps, scored his 1 and only v Andorra 3 weeks ago

€35million release fee.

For that price, for that role, I think he would be a great pickup - a really intelligent signing.

That's a very reasonable price in this day and age ,
On paper it looks like a good deal all depends how Yedder handles the Prem impossible to know until he has the chance,

Cotts72 · 01-07-2019 11:17AM

Will never forget that time he came off the bench against us... I expected him to donothing and he got that brace

Sorry i missed that

All the caps must have been this season ? Because I remember looking at him last season as he stood out in the Europa and at the time he had zero caps ,

Herrera definitely gone if that's the case

Of course he is, why wouldn't he? there was a video released as a tribute to him when it was confirmed.

Maybe I saw it and because it was too painful I just blacked it out.

He will be a huge loss next season. One of the very few players who gave it his all when he crossed the white line wearing the red of Manchester.

Herrera has apparently already filmed stuff for the PSG kit launch promotion.

Give the whole FFP stuff resets today, I’d expect to see a good few announcements like him pretty quick now. Same with Griezmann, De Ligt, etc.

Rashford signs a new deal.

Yesterday it was Rashford signing a 250 contract.
Then it was 200k.
Then it was *something* with heavy incentive bonuses.
Today it is 300k.

So tiring, as people will take whatever sum they want, to fit whatever narrative they want, and none of it will matter at all.

And back to 200k

Is that 200k base plus inventives

Or

200k he could potentially earn if meets targets does anyone know?

Thinking of potential earnings if I stick to the weekly astro with the lads

GSPfan · 01-07-2019 01:47PM

The Rashford deal gives me absolutely no joy at all. Fully expected him to stay with the club and now the only difference is that every time he hits row Z we have to read about his 300k a week contract.

RasTa · 01-07-2019 01:58PM

I'd say 200k includes bonuses.

Fully expected him to stay but it's 200k.

It's like Ole saying he would be here this season. Totally expected as a minimum so definitely not a great surprise.

RasTa · 01-07-2019 02:15PM

The boys are back at Carrington.

Although Pogba isn't

Ben Yedder is a player I like, scores lots if goals so obviously I would be happy to see United sign him.

Serabia is another I wish United were going for from Sevilla.

I know United need a CB and a RW option but depending on who can be obtained if United add goal scorers to the team and squad I would be very happy.

Really?

We conceded 54 goals last season in the league. Everton, Leicester, Crystal Palace and Wolves had a better defensive record than us last season.

IMO United looking for Strikers now is a joke as can be expected.

Yes really. Top goal scorer in the league had 13 and same player had 16 in all competitions. Need to do a lot better at both ends of the pitch.

It's the fabled if you score 3 we will score 1 tactic

With our defensive qualities that is a claim we might actually be able to fulfill.

Seriously though, if we don't sign a decent centre half before the season starts I think we will end up finishing outside the top 4 again.

We also only scored 65 goals. City average about 100 over the last 2 years. Robin Van Persie won us the league in 2013, simply because of his goals. The rest of the team was pretty bang average imo. We havent had a proper goal scorer since him. City have Aguero and Sterling, Spurs have Kane, Liverpool have Salah, Mane and Firmino, Arsenal have Aubameyang. We have rashford and lukaku, not even 30 goals between them last season.

RVP had an outstanding season but you are seriously saying De Gea, Rio, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney were all "bang average"? Jesus H Christ man

The team was rubbish.

I don't understand how people can divorce the goal scoring from chance creation.

We created F all for our strikers to score from. Without a midfield (which we still don't have) or threat from wide (which we still don't have) wtf are people expecting the centre forward to do?

Do you think Aguero would have got 25/30 goals in that United team last season? Kane? Salah? Not A Chance of it. cause there isn't enough creativity or threat from elsewhere to give them the chances or space.

Does every post needs to go into every detail now?

I would be happy if United added players who are known for scoring goals and taking chances. End of.

No I don't think it fixes the problems in its own right, obviously the way the team functions has to improve. It won't improve by changing players alone either, adding a CB or right side attacker to a poorly prepared side will not do much. Ole has huge work to do on coaching his team.

0gac3yjefb5sv7 · 01-07-2019 05:01PM

Arsenal bid 40m for Zaha.

Surely they will have to go to 60m. 15 for us.

Adamocovic · 01-07-2019 05:02PM

It's a silly argument.

We conceded too much and scored too little. While it is not about fixing one or the other, both need to be addressed.

Makes no sense to complain if ones fixed that the other should have been instead.

Goals conceded is being brought out again but even when DDG saved us and we had a low total conceded we still had scoring issues.

The main fix will be what tactics we take on, and additions where needed. We need to make more of our possession and actually become calm and controlling on the ball. Too many sloppy mistakes costing us and putting pressure on the defenders, and too many wasted possessions with poor deliver.

Adamocovic · 01-07-2019 05:08PM

Probably covered but good to see Lukaku reported to training earlier than expected.

I'd be a fan of Ole sat him down and convinced him to stay. Still want us to go after Ben Yedder too though.
