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

Great first 3 buys. Christ if we get a dm and keeper its the best window ever. Coupled with a proper training facility is this what a properly run footbal club feels like. We've been in the wilderness too long.

Aye. Getting in players like Heaven bodes well.

Donarumma would be a dream signing but can't imagine we'd sign him whilst Onana was still at the club. Even if bayinder moves on I'd imagine it's more likely we'd move for a Lammens

Donnaruma has shown himself to be quite error prone.

It’s not coincidental that PSG want to upgrade on him.

Even if Onana was to leave I'd say the club would still be hesitant to sign Donnarumma. Donnarumma and his agent will likely want huge fees to sign on top of massive wages.

No way he'll make the bench without training. He'll be paraded to the fans before kickoff

Chelsea will get him I reckon

You have

Elanga 55

Madueke 50

Kudus 50

Surely we should be getting that much for Garna whose played close to 200 games for utd.

What Chelsea want to pay is 30ish, when you look at it, Everton sign dewsbury-hall for 25m and he's barely played a game in 2 years and 5 years older.

Garna, puskas award, in the top 5 in Europe of scoring goals for his age group, potentially could be great.

Chelsea did background checks and don't see an attitude problem reported.

Garna was 60m quoted at Christmas,

Surely we should stay firm at that when you see the prices of players in similar positions who are effectively worse.

If a choice between mandrake or garna for the same price of 50, you'd pick garna etc.

Problem was it was to publicised by his camp that he had to look for a new club.

He's a 55m player easily. Trumps all of the above players in every sense.

On way over now to fiorentina match. 12.45 kick off = lack of sleep travelling overnight, just hope the team put in a good shift to get ready and warmed up for the big one next weekend

That must be why they were trying to negotiate a new contract with him.

The Lyon games highlighted everything wrong with Onana.

Were we linked with any keepers before signing Onana or anything like scouting department thinks this GK but ETH thinks Onana?

Hopefully them days are over. Fair enough a manager should have some input into signings but shouldn't have final say. Especially from day one. I'm sure Pep has a big say with City but he's earned it. Was it Julian Brandt that Klopp wanted but the club wanted Salah in his early days.

Didn't help that we got bent over and rode on the fees either when buying some of these players under ETH but hopefully that's fixed after INEOS came.

Think they've done well in getting players that if Amorim is was sacked the next manager in isn't trying to rebuild again. Maybe a LB because I wouldn't fancy Dorgu in a back four but after moving on so many wingers lately he also covers LW and RW so it's a decent signing for a handy fee.

Are we desperate to sell? We have almost a full year to get rid of him if that's our intention. He won't want to be sitting on his hands. He actually wants to play. If United settle for less than £50m then that's a step backwards after recent improvement.

Just met my bro and nephew outside OT (not getting out of bed early meself) lads buzzing with a jersey riddle with signatures. Delighted for him at his first game

for all the moaning we do on here lads, it’s great to hear stuff like this. Memories forever that kid will have
