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

I gotta say this is not a problem of Amorims making. People like to point out he said it in front of the rest of the squad and he absolutely did. But he was making an example of Garnacho and setting down a marker that his behaviour, despite his undeniable talent, was not acceptable. And lets be honest if Amorim said it in a one to one meeting with just himself and Garnacho it would have been known what was said within a hour on Twitter. Garnacho and his brother are a poisonous duo and good luck to them dealing with Chelsea fans online

Well the fact Ornstein was the one that reported it it came from someone at United and not Garnacho's camp. Now if Fabrizio broke the news a different story.

Even then who cares who leaked it. It was always getting out either way and if the club wanted him gone for a big fee given his home grown status you don't announce to the world this player is surplus to requirements please buy him.

He was already talking to Chelsea back in December. Amorim took a hard stance and we can assume it has effected the sale price, but we all know that even if the same had have been said in private to Garnacho it would have been leaked 10 minutes after the meeting was over.

Of course it would so don't say it for it to be leaked if you want to sell him for the fee you're looking for. Sell him for £30M and wash your hands or pay him to stay at home if you don't need the sale for Baleba or PSR.

Very good, proven in England aswell.

£35m would be shockingly low but as discussed, needs must.

Take the money and wash your hands of him. Get a sell on clause thrown in for good measure. Then move onto getting players who actually want to play for the club.

Two 6ft+ Eastern European strikers. I'd say bring 4-4-2 back and let them smash defences.

Though if he's being let go for free I'd say he'll be looking for the highest bidder with the signing on fee plus wages.

Should have taken that contract Chelsea offered him. Would have gotten us more money also rather than £5M the fecker. The club has surely paid him at least £1.5M in wages since he came back. Probably end up paying half that £5M in wages before he leaves while supplementing some of his wages for the last year.

Sancho is the only one I'd be prepared to just bin off and let him leave on a loan with wages covered, just to see the back of him. Antony and Garnacho have been told straight up that they both need to find clubs willing to pay their correct valuations or else they can train on their own until January. This is bang on and we shouldn't move from that stance. Betis have a weaker squad than last season and they'll end up with sod all this window if they expect us to agree to a last-minute loan. As for Garnacho, Chelsea have that lad Dario Essugo playing CM, signed from Sporting for 19m who isn't going to get minutes this season and we should be looking to bring him here while Garnacho goes the other way. Hoijlund needs to go on loan for his own development and then come back to us next season - I hope he does well at Milan.

Yeah, Brazilian police investigations, refusing to train, suing your previous club, but leaving all that aside.......
