Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25

I'm assuming here Lindelof would be OK for a pay cut knowing he'd play regularly + be under Jose who really likes him.
If they can take him for 15-20m + 30m for Greenwood we're in a very good space. Offloading Casemiro on top means we'd probably have ~£80m in sales before considering Sancho and Wan Bissaka outgoings.

If our net budget was £50m, we might be looking good for a £150m kitty.

2 CBs may run us close to £100m in my opinion, a LB will be around £20m and £30m at least for a striker.

I don't love the situation personally, think we need to sell more or maybe have a better starting point than £50m. Maybe with Europa that's gone up a bit, Ornstein said it might be a little higher now.

I think the reported 50m is click bait. We apparently have a low budget every year and tend to spend big.
Also, with how this FFP stuff works, if we ended up selling players, any one we bring in is spread over the cost of a contract, so a 50m player over 5 years on 100k a week (5.2m per year) works out at 76m total, with a yearly ffp outlay of 15.2m per year

I could be talking absolute BS to be fair, but I think thats how it works (Inserts green laughing emoji)
 
Shifting Lindelof, Casemiro and Greenwood for respectable money would be as good as any signing in my book.

No chance we get the bolded amount for Lindelof. Fred money at best.

Some people have absolutely no common sense when valuing transfers. Have a look at average transfer fees in the Turkish league.

No way we want Alvarez. We could have signed him last summer and didn’t and West Ham would want a massive fee. I swear sometimes these journalists are just throwing out ETH linked players to rile people up.

God I hope this is not true. He's such a limited player a destructor but nothing else, he's not technically good enough to play for a big team he'll also be 27 by the start of next season so he isn't really a youngster you can develop what you see is what you get. Wouldn't mind having him as a squad option but he cost West Ham 30-35M, I don't think they'll sell for less than 45-50M that's way too much for a player of his quality.

Apologies if my post was somewhat aggressive. I'm just fed up of all these FIFA/Championship Manager scenarios people keep dreaming up on here.

We will only get decent money for our players if they're sold to the Premier League or Saudi.

It's not a dream. Casemiro is heavily linked to a £34m move away and I rounded down to £30m. I also didn't factor in much of a fee for wan bissaka or even consider Sanchos exit. Being off by say 7-10m in a Lindelof sale really doesn't take away from my post, which was in no way a dream scenario.

Greenwood will also probably be only 30m including add-ons

Lindelof, Maguire, McTominay and AwB should be the players we look to sell at any given opportunity because of their assortment of physical, technical and tactical limitations. It's now time to make Kambwala sink or swim in terms of earning a squad place and a contract that reflects that. We shouldn't keep no-hopers just for the sake of it.

We should go back to the Fergie playbook in which we filled out the squad the youth team graduates who will be on low wages and cost no fees. This is why our entry into the INEOS group will benefit us, instead of sending our kids to League 1 where they don't get played we could send them to Loussane (sp) for a year or two, to Nice for a season and then bring them into the squad when they are ready. Having Brailsford as the coordinator at INEOS would help and both clubs will benefit.

When I said "some people" I wasn't just referring to you.

As for Casemiro, I very much doubt we will get 30m despite reports.

Apologies again if I came across as a dick in my original reply.

It's all good, wel have to wait and see. I think wel get good money for Casemiro as he's a legend, he'd be a massive name in Saudi.

Yea there's no chance we get anywhere that amount. He also has only 1 year left on his contract so it will be cheap if this deal goes through.

How did City manage to buy Savio then?
Click to expand...
If i’m not mistaken, Sávio was on loan to Girona from Troyes FC (Also City Football Group). So, while Girona and City are both in CL, the transfer is really from Troyes to City. Shows the flaws of the system though, and that ownership should be the only thing that matters if there is to be restrictions, regardless if which competitions they participate in.
As for someones suggested solution of transferring via a 3rd team, i think a players registration can only change once pr transfer window (haven’t bothered finding a source for that, but it should be easy enough i guess).
Maybe a loan with obligation to buy could ve the way out. In essence a sale to Lausanne-> loan to United with obligation to buy in january (to avoid same problem next summer/window)

My entire knowledge about player registration comes from Football Manager, but if its a realistic as I believe it to be, a player can be registered at no more than 2 clubs per season.

So if Todibo was never registered at Nice for the season, then was sold to another club, there shouldn't be an issue with him then being loaned and registering in the PL before the deadline.

Also the club loaning him wouldn't even need to register him. He could just be there.

Silly idea though, would never happen

Can’t we just pull out of Europa? Nobody wants to be in it anyway.. can’t believe winning the F.A Cup has actually stopped us signing a player we need, that’s pretty ridiculous all things considered

Probably our best chance of getting back into the champions league though (depending on who we sign/sell)

Midweek games are the ones most likely me and the lad can get decent tickets to! All about the Europa this season

Branthwaithe is too expensive. I‘d go for De Ligt, we would see him rediscover his Ajax form. Juve and Bayern didn‘t get the best out of him. His passing ability and progressive dribbling have been under utilized.

We can get him at a cut price (40 instead of 80 million €) whereas Branthwaithe will cost 70£ pounds probably. It may be a shrewd deal.

The fact that someone is a former eredivisie player shouldn‘t matter. Get over yourselves, Ronaldo9 was eredivisie.

In this case, it is an advantage; we know what Ten Hag can get out of him.

He's prone to injury although he is a very competent defender. It would have been good to sign him before he went to Italy.
I'm not sure these days. We need boots on the pitch.

That could be a valid concern.
 
Not exactly the most convincing front to try to pressure Everton with, when they know we cant sign Todibo, Yoro doesnt want to come and Palace will be asking for £60m minimum for Guehi.

It's better than the swap deals nonsense you would often see people posting :lol:

*Saudi League pay huge salaries , not transfer fees.

Who the feck are we buying for that money?
Click to expand...

If Ornstein hadn't reported our interest I wouldn't have been surprised if we we're being used by the "agent" to get Milan to up their payout to him. As it is the inclusion of "shareholdings" and "consultants costs" makes me think that's directed at the player to get his agent to lower his demands further.

€15-20m? Yeah, right! Sheffield United paid more than that for Rhian Brewster! Really can't imagine we're only putting aside that amount of the budget for a much needed second #9.

The Zirkzee deal may well end up being deemed too much for the extra costs, but I imagine we're still going to be looking at similar fees for alternatives. It's pretty obvious you don't get PL / CL / EL quality #9's for anywhere near €15-20m.
