In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Which is a huge advantage
What I meant was that Inter have tried to rip United off big time: demanding 50m Euro (and not a penny less). Then later Martial plus 30m Euros which would have meant that Martial who is worth at least 50m Euros plus 30m, Inter would be making in the region of 80m Euro. Exactly how stupid or desperate Inter think United are has been show by their belligerent attitude towards us. Now though, they've (probably) realised that United won't be ripped off and their attempt to get a golden windfall from United has failed. With no further approaches from United and their own need to buy new players, news today that United are looking at alternatives (Emil Forsberg), I've read one report that Inter have stopped their aggressive, uncompromising attitude and have dropped their asking price for Perisic to 44m Euros to push the deal through.
Don't know why United are prioritising that side, anyway. They have Martial, who surely must be looking to make that position his own, probably on rotation with Rashford, both as back up for Lukaku down the centre.
The other flank is where United should be looking to improve. But who? If United don't want to spend the Earth on a Dembele or a Dybala there are players out there. Mahrez for £40m, Schick for £30m. Perhaps Asensio if Mbappe goes to Real?
I feel a meal is being made of a situation which could already have been concluded.
And that's the original bid, right? At this point I'd like to go around 6-8m under the original bid to test them and their desperation.
If all this is true I guess Mourinho publicly stating we want two more but will settle for one and a midfielder is a priority really worked and has forced Inter's hand.
Lucas Moura would be a good option on the right.
It is tbf.
Bale has proved in the past that he can do it for a whole season with Spurs. And to be fair, he is not a total crock. It might be a phase he is going through. Among Bale and Sanchez, I would blindly choose Bale considering he perfectly fits our LW narrative and the position which he would love to return to.

The Mbappe talk is interesting. It felt as though Madrid were effectively writing off a transfer as they couldn't get the funds sorted and, quite suddenly, massive numbers are being quoted. If true, I'd hazard a guess that they've already recouped at least some of the fee through another deal(s) that aren't yet public knowledge...
That's assuming that stuff hasn't been happening for the last 6 weeks unbeknownst to the general public.
I've no idea whether Coutinho will move, but citing lack of any public briefings with over a month to run in the transfer window (more time than has actually passed) probably isn't reflective of what discussions are happening.

Well, Barca have had a bid rejected and have been told he's not for sale. Doesn't sound like there's been much behind the scenes talk with a stance that firm. Also, just signed a new contract in December-ish so I'm sure there was some sort of agreement he will stay beyond the 5 months left of the season.
I heard they would bite for 100m euros.. Not sure how credible it is but IIRC it was the telegraph suggesting it? Something like that anyway.
Last thing United need is ANOTHER right footed player, and certainly not at the price PSG would want. Far rather take a punt on Adama Traore at a third of the price.
I wouldn't be averse to that. United offered them a fair, even generous price and they treated our club with lack of professional courtesy.
I think it just looks like they've overplayed their hand. Hopefully we stay firm and I expect they'll come to their senses. They seem to have been aggrieved that we were trying to force them into a corner because of their potential FFP issue but there's no need to turn it into something personal - it's just business.
Let's be honest: business is business. Most if not all clubs (including Inter), would have tried the same strategy.
Nah, feck Inter. I like this hard line response to these twats. Let it be a lesson to the other clubs that try to screw us that we'll draw a line somewhere especially for average players like Perisic.
Let's be honest. If it was Juve that Inter were selling him to, they'd sell him for €30m.

No. I'm saying you are biased. Understandably so.
I assume you meant I'm forcing myself to like him? Is that what you're saying?
I'd love a Croat at Old Trafford. Just not this one.
I really don't think Perisic will be a happy man knowing he could have at least doubled his wages, and he knows we've bid more than enough to get him so he'll probably put the blame solely on Inter (rightfully) and strop throughout the season.
Hopefully Inter are left with that scenario, 'cos as much as I want Mourinho to get the players he wants, Perisic doesn't really get my muppet juices flowing!

Milan : Currently no negotiations over Sanches as the player valuation is too high. If things change in August, we are here to look at it again.
In TV: Madrid want to sign Dembelé and leave him on loan at Borussia. They have a preferential option for Dembelé,Weigl and Aubameyang
Real are piling up the national and international top talents
Valencia! He is a one man right wing combo which allows us to play an AM there whilst having a proper midfield three. If we achieve territorial domination in a match Valencia can spend the rest of the match on the right wing with Mata/Mkhi joining the striker in the box.
Good considering they just got a prove top tier player for 36m I don't see where they go around ripping over clubs off.
Once again, why are we not in for him?
Expensive young talent
That's exactly my point. We need a winger and why the hell aren't we in for him? This guy is a gold mine that will cost 150m in the next couple years.
That is a nightmare even if it could work.
Except it doesbt work v well. Valencia does f all with all that possession and has no winger ahead of him.

Controversial.
Who? James? They didn't. They loaned him for 2 years with an option to buy for €40m. If they do buy him, he'll have cost upwards of €60m because they are playing Real Madrid a loan fee for every season, rumoured to be in the €10-€15 range.
Bayern are just trying to take advantage of the inflated market prices. They've got nothing to lose by setting the price high. If someone bites, great. If not, they'll just loan him out near the end of the window.
Agreed.
is that your Redcafe password?
These prices are becoming outrageous
That's a tad far fetched tbh
Can't argue with that to be fair
You should be banned for saying that out loud.
Presumably because he will be priced at 80-100m
