Shaw can’t complete a full season anymore, ETH has already told us that. Sell malacia and there would still be ample opportunity for Amass, even with a new LB

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.
No-one is taking Malacia permanently having not kicked a ball for a season. It would be a loan at best if we took that route.
Fair point, loan him out to prove his fitness
We should sign Ghuei over De Ligt, wages alone Gheui will be £6-7.5m per year, De Ligt will want £13-15m, non starter unless he’s £25m transfer.
Do you want to compete for lowest wage cb partnership, or do you want to compete for cups and the PL? Better players cost more money.
Personal terms havent been agreed yet and its been reported by fabrizio that the only stumbling block for him going to milan is the agent fee so hes obviously agreed terms with milan…
plus he already lives in italy and milan have champions league football. I know we are a bigger club but we should move onto targets that actually want to to come here
And how do you know he wouldn't want to come?
I mean he is not exactly jumping at the gun to come is he. I haven’t seen any reports of him wanting the move just that we want him. Its been reported ugarte wants to play for united, why not zirkzee?
edit: do you not remember the de jong saga?
Who are the other available options?
Clearly yet they’ve no actual evidence
Simple answer; the player himself has basically said he won’t be distracted whilst he is in the euros
I guess a release clause means that anyone can sign the player. Although saying that, no doubt some brown bags will probably scupper the transfer!
We will end up like Barcelona when LvG bought all Dutch players to play for him. Ffs
Almost like keeping ETH under the pretence of him having no more say over transfers was a terrible idea
Mount will be LIKE a new transfer?
ETH's representatives must be contract negotiation experts, because there's no way I buy the idea that most of our transfer targets this summer being Dutch or having previously played in the Dutch league (yet again!) is a mere coincidence.
It is a coincidence though? Just so happens they're the cheapest on the market too for their relative position. Branthwaite playing PSV for season is hardly going to have a big influence with Ten Hag and Ugarte, Neves and any LB we've been linked aren't dutch or played in the dutch League.
You still living in fantasy land
A couple of people said that when I made the point in the ETH thread that keeping him would necessitate a new contract. But of course I was right.
You’re never right from what I’ve seen here. Just a miserable moaning bugger.
I really wish this was the case and the club wasn't so predictably fecked.
You just need to have a day off from the negativity. Whatever will be will be.
Has there been much to be positive about with our transfer strategy or our results over the last 11 years?
Didn't know Ugarte was Dutch
Yeah there’s been positives over the last 11 years, just not as many as we’ve been used to. More than most other clubs mind so its good not to appear too spoilt.
That's where we disagree then. Relative to our resources and amount invested, it's been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. All I'm asking for is a cohesive strategy that enables us to get a reasonable return on our investment - hardly "spoilt".
United’s history ran before Sir Alex and has gone on beyond his period. There’s been ups and downs.
Those being negative now, despite the fact we’ve finally seen the Glazers power being reduced for the first time, just need to relax and see how things pan out.
Those than want and expect glory immediately need to be realistic. Enjoy the good (which there is still plenty of) and hopefully the bad becomes less and less. It’s only football. Life’s too short.
Gotta say, i’m more reserved about our transfer rumours this years than the last 10 years. Most rumours, like de Ligt and Zirkzee i think would be horrible. de Ligt would be against everything Ineos said they will do, and Zirkzee looks underwhelming. Not really a big talent, and not really the finished product. Just… meh…
Trying to not be negative Nathan, but guess the last 10 years has made me ready to be positively surprised…
Trying to not be negative Nathan, but guess the last 10 years has made me ready to be positively surprised…
So many dutch players and players from their league and now coaches... It will end up in tears.
I agree on Zirkzee but not de Ligt. I think there's a lot of merit in that signing.
Is there anything in that article about United being interested? If not then this tweet shouldn't be in here.
Yeah fair point. Deleted now and I’ll post in elsewhere.
Im with you here to an extent but we also have to be realistic. Ashworth Wilcox and Berrada will see the mistakes we’ve made thinking we can buy success with one mega transfer every summer or two while neglecting fundamentals that all the best teams and best run clubs have. On the pitch Aggression, leadership, players who offer the manager different options stylistically and quality backup/healthy competition throughout the squad. Off the pitch we have neglected everything compared to our rivals.
We aren’t going to be able to sign and bed in enough of the kind of players we need to challenge for the title for the next year or two. That’s a fact given the financial situation and the mess the club is currently in. What we can do with a few sensible transfer windows is firmly reestablish ourselves as a CL/top 4 club every season and then tweak things to kick on once we are solid on the pitch and more attractive as a destination to the most professional footballers who other clubs will want too. Look at city. They had endless cash and no rules around spending but they had been poorly run for years. It took them years to build a serious and dominant team. It’ll take years of sensible building to get us back near the top. Even if we could go out and buy 11 new players this summer chances are only half of them are going to work out. If we can get 2 or 3 out of 4 or 5 right this summer we will be doing well and should hopefully be back in the top 4 with a refurbished training ground and major plans for a new stadium on the horizon. Not the worst! Fingers crossed.
You work for the club don't you?
The happy club

More information about the player ? I am pretty certain that ETH has all the information he needs about the player
