Don’t Qataris have beef with the UAE? I don’t think they will like the idea of their crown jewel ending up at City.

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.
12 months to go, if Mbappe holds his nerve and refuses to sign a new deal PSG are going to take a huge hit. Surely PSG will know by now what Mbappes intentions are, if he's made his mind up to leave then it'd be worth them selling now, they'd still get £80m+ i'd imagine.
To be honest i can just see Madrid pulling out the joker next season and getting Mbappe AND Haaland for a combined £65m
Add Pogba and all 3 for 65 million would be a complete steal.
I can just imagine it happening too!
If he’s got a year left Ole should really go all in for him. Unless he’s got assurance we will bid highest for Haaland.
That may be so. I’ve no idea. But if they bid higher than anyone else I couldn’t see that stopping them.
If they're having to offload players like Varane, Vinicius, Isco, etc etc. due to the new rule in the Spanish league regarding wages, then how on earth would they sign Mbappe, Haaland & Pogba? If players go on a free, they always demand more wage. ??? Literally makes no sense, unless they play with a team consisting of 3 players (the ones aforementioned)
Why any world class player would sign a long term contract for Daniel Levy is beyond me. I'd understand if it were Harry Winks or Eric Dier, but for someone like Kane entering the peak of his career is peak stupidity. Him throwing his toys out the pram isn't going to him any favours either - if he has an underwhelming season then there's no guarantee the likes of City will be back in for him with a big money deal, not when the likes of Haaland and Mbappe are potentially available next summer.
Kane got sold a dream, they had Poch looking like they can challenge, CL final, new stadium, the club sent out vibes as if they want to challenge for trophies.
Spend money that summer on Ndombole and the like, then he realised he made a huge mistake and got caught in the Spurs purple patch storm.
If Kane signed for you lot, it wouldn't be Levy who would be getting the hate as much as Harry himself.
Probably it's because you can't win psg owners by showing them money.
I knew for sure you Spurs fans will take hit of 20-30 mn of kane s value than selling to chelsea for those extra 20-30 mn. There is no point in thinking about those situation. It will not happen.
Varane, Ramos, Bale, Modric will be off the books by next summer in terms of huge wages
Marcelo, Bale and i think iscos contracts will end next June.
When Kane is out of reach Mbappe certainly is.
I'm convinced Kane, Grealish and Zaha are not changing clubs this summer.
I think it’s one of those cases where the players intentions are set in stone and known between clubs
Mbappe is going to Madrid, no where else.
Same reason why Messi (this summer) wasn’t linked with anyone realistically despite him being a free agent. Because he was going to re-sign with Barce.
No one else was in for Sancho really last year or this; because the player was always staying at Dortmund or going to United.
Other than the reasons already mentioned, the wage rule isn’t exactly new and it’s tied to revenue. In this past season revenue went down, so did the wage cap. If in the upcoming season, the revenue goes up, then the cap goes up too.
Madrid aren’t spending big this year, so I guys they’ll have a blast in the next summer window, especially given other wages (Bale!) will be off their books.
Thanks for the insight, as I don't have a great understanding of it myself!
It seems like they have a lot of players they can offload due to high wages (low performance e.g. Bale) &or players getting towards the latter stages of their career (e.g. Ramos & potentially Modric).
As you mentioned if they go gungho next summer (and potentially future summers) we may see Real with a completely different squad. Scary to think who they might pick up.
Id be more than happy to bid for Kane. Clinical finisher who can drop deep and make great passes and assists. This summer is probably last chance saloon for him to go to a big club given he is turning 29 next summer and Levy would still be looking for a big fee in 12 months.
As for all the Haaland talk - I just cant see it. Raiola as an agent - his mentor fjortoft said Liverpool would be a good fit and united means leeds to him - he is a leeds fan. Its pie in the sky and can only see him at Real with City/Liverpool having an outside chance.
Forget Haaland. Get Kane!

160m quid can't be right, thought dear Pep was just bemoaning crazy fees for strikers a few weeks ago
I bet Chelsea ups their game and get haaland now
Terrible source.
But I'm sure Spurs would sell for 160m, if City actually offer that.

No idea whether this is true, obviously, but I’d never heard the journo’s name and it seems like she’s a showbiz journo who also recently wrote this.

Unbelievable fee. Great player but not worth that amount simply because I’m not sure how sturdy he is going forward with some of the injuries that he’s had. If I was City I’d be sticking that £160 million towards Haland.
That's the kind of journalist we are dealing with here.
Source: The Sun (someone from the showbiz section as well)
Fee: £160m
Wage: £400k a week
how many more red flags do you need?

Fixed.
You all just got KANED!
If he does go there for a fee anywhere near that do you think it means that City can't afford to get Grealish too?
So Sam Lee isn't necessarily doubting the story too much.
So it looks like this story originated from some talk at a wedding!

They've probably raised enough on sales by now to add on top of the 100m they officially offered about a month or so ago. It'll happen soon enough.
Am I remembering right that Sam Lee is actually a United fan but found a niche as a journalist reporting on City or have I made that up?
It’s absolutely made up trash of course but I’d love him to go there for £160m. Personally I think he’s done - looked an absolute shadow of his former self at the euros and barely did any running. Even if he’s as good as he ever was (he’s not), he’s still likely to pick up multiple injuries a season so it’s likely he’s not going to be in great shape as he heads towards his 30’s. it would also put City out of the race for Haaland when it seems that next year only us, them, PSG and Chelsea could afford him.
Anyone believing that needs to give their head a wobble, it'll be headlines for a few days for clicks and to sell papers and suddenly it'll be City made no offer or Kane loves Spurs and he's giving them 1 more year.
I hope is true because I rather City get Kane tham Grealish, and I think they won't be able to get both
He looked poor during the last World Cup as well (despite winning the golden boot with a couple of penalties), but then turned around and had a bunch of great seasons for Spurs. Including probably being the best player in the league last season.
It could go either way. This could be him on the downward slope, but he could easily have another 3+ seasons of brilliance as well.
You’re off your tits if you think he’s ”done” based on the most negative tactics of any top side in the WC.
Last season proved he clearly isn’t done, quite the opposite in fact.
