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

New stadium is the route I want us to go - but I can't see how we do a new stadium, or redevelopment, financially.

1 to 2 billion (or more), on top of the massive debts we have?

I always thought a new stadium would need to wait til the Glazers and the purchase debt were gone.

I can't see Ineos funding it out of their own coffers. Maybe do something similar to the 200m investment done so far where new shares were created in exchange for the investment, so their control increases in step with the funding?

I can't see how United could shoulder any more debt payments related to a new stadium, on top of what is already there tbh. Its not that I am crying out for INEOS to pay for a new stadium, I ahve no issue with United taking the debt in general for it - but I just can't see how it is affordable, on top of the 100m or whatever it is we waste every year on interest payments.

The fume that would happen if it was the latter and I'm all for it 😂

I know but they don't generate click bait and waffle like we do.

Why did the Munich defenders move to West Ham breakdown. Could it have been a fitness issue?

He's certainly an upgrade on AWB but that big if about fitness will be there.

Bit worrying that we've not shifted Casemiro, Erikson, WB, Lindelof, Sancho etc.

Especially if future purchases are dependent on getting rid.

If Sancho is sold would you be happy with the wing options we have or would you hope United bring someone else in ?

Rashford/ Garnacho

Antony/ Amad

(Not including Pellistri as he's essentially gone also)

Unrealistic for this season but I'd have liked another winger like Olise that would give our forwards supply and contribute to the attack. I'm not a fan of Rashfords constant head down and shoot from everywhere wing play or lack of

We need a LB and DM before we need another attacking player. Sancho's sale would fund Ugarte, while Lindelof or mcTom might fund Hancko or Kadioglu. Even if we get those sorted, we'd still need to bounce Antony or Cas before we get another striker in. That would be a sensational window if it happened.

Simon Stone confirming West Ham are in for AWB.

I think we will massively regret not singing Onana. Feels like a huge miss from the club.

Don't worry Amrabat and Collyer will do the job 👀😂

Ah sure according to Romano we are working on a possible loan deal for Ugarte and fingers crossed Casemiro is sold and we get a 2nd DM in.

Muppetiers reckon the injury he was taking caution with was groin, or similar, and nothing to do with the foot injury has seems to have picked up.

Everything I am hearing is that they are now being very cautious with player condition and fitness, trying to take no risks. So I think Yoro will have simply been bad luck/unfortunate rather than continued poor player management.

Yoro trained in the first or second session that day - he just wasn't in the open training. So he wasn't completed rested, just not on the full schedule.

I think if we get Ugarte loan to buy that could really boost our further transfer dealings .

Lindelof/AWB out - deligt/mazhroui in

If we can shift the majority of the players below we would be in a position to get Fofana or potentially Zubimendi. The fact that Fofana hasn't signed for Milan yet is interesting. Depending on the profile of LB we want we should be in a position to do that too but again all depends on clearing the deadwood

Erikson/McT/Sancho/Pellistri/Hannibal/Casemeiro/Fish

I'd assume if they had been sold, it would have released funds to buy other players so we could have actually done better... but no way of knowing.
