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

Also, City acted fast because they're greasy turds with no care for financial rules. Liverpool did so because they spent damn all last year and just pocketed a ton from winning the league so they're loaded.

As much as the Mbeumo saga has annoyed the piss out of me, I don't think we've been overly slow. It's just the fact that we all want our players in ASAP so they get a full preseason under Amorim's system.

Don't suppose anyone has the time to list the signings and timings from previous summer windows for comparison?

I've no issues with it whatsoever, they took on a player no one else wanted to entertain and accepted the little bit of flack they got for it. Without them we wouldn't of got anykind if decent price for Greenwood.

Relax there fella no need to go back there but if you so wish carry on yourself if it makes you feel better.

I'm Not praising them or indeed Greenwood im saying I've no issues in the deal that was done because without them it wouldn't be done so whatever they get they get.

The Gyokeres move generally had me concerned about the ST position and where goals will come from.

Links to higher profile strikers have died down in recent weeks having pivoted from ekiteke/Oshimen to Watkins/DCL. I've no doubt a lack of finance plays into this also.

Are we now forced to pivot into the loan market for the likes of Ramos/muani/vlahovic

Also now that Gyokeres is off to arsenal does that mean we can go for Sesko instead 😂

Indeed you go ahead and make stuff up well done. Ffs this place never changes.

Bruno was hopeless in the final v spurs. Spent the entire game moaning. Gave the ball away for their goal. He is not a leader with the captains arm band.

100 mil would have solved a big problem but if he won’t go can’t be helped. He is talented obviously but he is part of the problem.
He tries to do too much, gets way too worked up and always looking for glory balls. Yes he has goals and assists but he takes so much away from the team too.
I would take the captaincy off him and tell him to listen to the captain and be disciplined in his approach.

But I’m not the manager :-)

De Ligt?

Apparently this guy is quite reliable for the Turkish league but I can't be sure.

🚨 | #mufc really wanted to sign Victor Osimhen, but he refused to take a salary reduction to sign for them.

Galatasaray have made the best offer to him out of European clubs, and are expected to hold talks this week to finalise his transfer. [@yagosabuncuoglu]

Another week of talks, I reckon this will be done by end of July. Also note the line "Manchester Uniteds absolute focus"

zero multi tasking taking place it seems

You'd think with all the upheaval and changes to staff in key areas that efficiency in Uniteds dealings when it comes to transfers would change but it seems to be the same no matter who is in place

Daniele Longo isn't the best source, tends to get a lot wrong.

Well if you look at our recent history then the media tend to get it right about serious transfers. And we tend to take ages. And we tend to do them one at a time, and then start on another one. For example, we didn't make a bid for Mbeumo until Cunha was done.

Maybe the club is planning but it would not surprise me if they were holding back on negotiating and making offers until Mbeumo is sorted one way or another. Again because that seems to be the way the club operate. We always hear about the offers as soon as they're made. And it's one by one with a week or two between each offer.

Every time this club negotiates to buy a player you'd think they were trying to negotiate peace between two middle east states.
