Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

I'd love a player like Toney just not him, terrible attitude and like I said before I'd finally like some drama free players.

Time to move on from Branthwaite, he'll cost stupid money now

Was costing stupid money already! 30m max is what he's worth.

Not necessarily in the case of Simons, I think he offers something different to Bruno and Mount and adds pace behind the striker. If we were to potentially move Sancho on hes another wing option on top of it. A loan to buy works in the office chance Bruno moves on the year after

He may offer something different to Bruno, but we have Bruno and mount. Adding a third AM is an insane use of limited funds.

Imo are three priorities this summer should be

St (zirkzee)

Cb (mdl?)

CM (ugarte, maybe)

Those positions should be the minimum base. If we need to sell to fund anything else, those three should be done. After that I'd be looking at another deeper cm, another cb, a left back, maybe a right back. Don't see the logic in using limited funds to buy in positions we have reasonable depth and quality in.

I do and the fume was glorious 🤣
