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.
That £5m will cover the Parker signing
That's fecking hilarious. You'll make about £30 million tops on that lot.
If they've sold O'Hara for 5 million, I can see them easily making the 40 million. Spurs have got so much deadwood in their squad, but have a smallish wage budget somehow.
The thing which will stop United from getting Modric IMO, is how easily Spurs can afford to keep him. If Harry has 20 million transfer budget anyway, and has signed a keeper for free (a bizarre move IMO) he'll have the funds to be competitive. I don't think an extra 40m for Modric would improve Tottenham. They'll have money for funds anyway, and are struggling to get a player anywhere near his quality.
They still need two quality strikers and a couple of people in defense.
Keep in mind for epic bump.
Even if he was worth it... would Fergie pay 50m for any player other than Messi??? Or Ronaldo? And even then City would run in with a 150m bid
Could include berba or even Anderson in the deal - not that I want rid of Anderson, but they are similar types of player him and modric
I reckon Anderson and Modric could play together in a 3 man midfield with Fletcher/Carrick sitting behind.
Anderson & Modric are nothing like each other.
Could yes, but would it be an ideal 3 man midfield? Given it would have cost a lot of money to assemble, one of the 3 would be much better off being a genuine attacking threat who splits defences or scores goals
i honestly think he'll be an excellent signing for united.
World class player in "he'll be excellent for United" shocker!
Well I never....
Well I never....
Me too. But I just think in addition to him (or even sneijder), we need another player, a defensive midfielder, to add some bite to our midfield. Modric/Sneijder would solve the playmaking creative role in the centre of the park that we seemed to lack at different times during our season. But many times we also lack that energy and tough tackling no nonsense player in midfield.
A player like maybe Banega or Sweinsteigger(however you spell it) would be a combination of creativity and grit and would solve both areas in one purchase.
These are also my thoughts, in a nutshell. Were modric to be our world class expensive signing, we could do with another midfielder alongside.
The Paul Scholes from 3-4 years ago yes - the Paul Scholes from the last season - no
Or you know, just Paul Scholes in general. Irreplacable whatever age he is.
Luka Modric's advisor
Extremely expensive peanuts it has to be said.
That's that settled then.
Wesley it is then.
'Arry is live on SkySportsNews now, but I have no sound in work... any mention of Luka?
A shame. I'm mortally afraid we'll end up with Charlie Adam.
City will bid for peanuts if they think we're after them.
would be my prefered choice.
O well. He can stay there a fight for 5th next season. Wesley or Sami it is.
Yeah only that he isn't for sale as suspected
for one, one of them is really good.
Privy to our transfer plans?
O well. He can stay there a fight for 5th next season. Wesley or Sami it is.
Remind me again why we would sign an ex-Liverpool centre half?
You guys are all gunna be so disapointed when we don't sign either Modric of Sneijder this Summer.
We'll bring in a youngster or a cheap option IMO.
We'll bring in a youngster or a cheap option IMO.
Sadly, I agree. I hope that youngster will be feckin awesome, someone who can make a difference right away.
Edit: if we do sign a central midfielder, of course, of which I'm still not convinced.
We may not sign Sneijder or Modric but I'm pretty certain we won't resort to a youngster or a cheap option.
its going to be a torres type of sum to force Spurs into selling I bet
I wouldn't mind another Hernandez type signing
A quality young player for peanuts? No shit! I don't think anyone would mind that.
There would be a lot of complaining at the time though, obviously.
The agent only seems to be saying he will stay because spurs won't sell, not because the player himself is adamant.
Jeeezzzzzz Redcafe pessimistic as always!
