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

Yep and Amorim has never worked with Sancho anyway. Even if he had, he wouldn’t be trying to put someone off buying him either.

Entirely different cirumstances and entirely different players. Christian Norgaard is a 31 year old midfielder and there (apparently) wasn't a lot of interest from other clubs in signing him + he may have had a deal with Brentford that he could leave for €X if Y type of club came in for him + the new manager Andrews may not see him as part of his plans so the club would have been looking to move him on.

Mbeumo on the other hand is a 25 year old forward (much more valuable than a midfielder) with his best years ahead of him and Utd are highly motivated to sign such a player + his old manager is now at Spurs and may want to recruit him thus creating come competitive tension in the sale process which only has one effect on the price Brentford can extract and that's up!!

Part of the furniture

It's very frustrating

The more things change, the more they stay the same when it comes to utd in transfer windows

The way I see it is that we know money was allocated for Cunha & Mbuemo. They’re trying to get BM done, yeah it’s slower than everyone wants but pre-season begins 7th July. Get it done before then and it doesn’t really make a difference. It would be very surprising if they don’t find an agreement.

After that, incomings depend on sales. We could be frustrated about the lack of outgoings but we also know these players are hard to move on because of their wages. We also want to maximise sale price, to allow for more signings, so we can’t just give them away either. It’s going to be fairly slow unfortunately but that’s mostly down to the people who have since left the club.

they gotta be waiting on the stiker hoping arsenal go for sesko, opening the door for gyokeres.

if he goes for arsenal, no idea who we then go for.

Exactly, players that are hard to move on due to the stupid contracts they were previously given won't move until very late in the transfer market as time is the friend of the buying club, not Utd.

We'll see a lot of Loans with subsidised wage type deals happening otherwise the club will be left with the player on full wages but sitting in the stand and not part of the squad so economically any sort of loan where Utd doesn't have to pay the players full wages is better than letting them rot on full wages in the stands.

John Duran looking to leave Al-Nassr, possible loan deal maybe ? I know he's another young lad but he produced the goods at Villa

You don't know whether Spurs have made a bid or not, you just haven't seen it reported, doesn't mean they haven't or won't.

Also, please link to where Mbeumo says he "only want's united" and if you think a 31 year old midfielder is as important a recruit to United (who already have Casemiro, Mount, Ugarte, Bruno & Mainoo etc) as a 25 year old forward that explains a lot about the opinions you express here.

I don't be pulling this **** out of my ass, it's not hard to find this stuff.

Show me where I said Norgaard would be important to us? I said he's important to Brentford....Club captain....One of their best players....

I'm gonna end the silly back and forth here after your last sentence.

looking at the below stats, player A is bought for £55.5m. what should player B be worth?

player B has engaged in problematic behavior.

player B has achieved the below in a league many deem more difficult.

wages are also a factor.

(all stats are in the league)

Crap was hoping they'd take up the option.

Unless there's an option to extend his contract he can walk on a free next summer. Can't see clubs being that interested unless we're giving him away dirt cheap.

Just sums up UTD transfers under ETH.

I don't think there's been any UTD manager in the PL era to have such an awful record for transfers than ETH

It's been truly truly awful

joao pedro to chelsea is done. nice and swift
