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.
I don't deny the need for a winger/a left or right back by the way, merely talking about the 'signing for the signing's sake' attitude. I agree we could do with one wide player more FWIW but I know that at the same time people would whine about Martial/Rashford not getting enough chances within 2-3 weeks.
Whatever City are willing to pay for Sanchez, we need to bid £10m more. Sanchez will decide which team wins the PL.
I know. The bit that irritates me is the 'We should be in for him' whenever some Tom, Dick or Harry gets mentioned, even if we are fully stocked in that position.
Coutinho's money being splashed alright.
Yup, or the 'why aren't we in for him when X/Y/Z are'. That's the thing I'm alluding to, we need quality, not another proverbial Young who we'll struggle to offload in a couple of years.
No. He. Won't.
Better players are/have been available and we aren't signing them. The window could have been more successful.
Yet Young fancies another extension off us. He has his uses, but surely there are better players out there. I doubt he will get much playing time except for the cups. Cannot see him being on the bench for the league games. If he changes things, it will be the ones who are now on the bench coming in and the ones he rests being on the bench if they are needed.
Yes he had a € 25 mln release clause but expired on 15 July..
Yup, I see him being useful when we go 3 at the back and Shaw/Valencia are either injured or need a rest or something. I like Ashley, right attitude and all that but I don't really see a place for him other than an emergency fullback/wingback.
Don't think Jose does either.
Decent move for Gibbs and West Brom.
Conte loves a target man, clearly isn't impressed with Batshuayi either.
Hey! *shakes fist angrily*
Wow that's worse than Fellaini to United deal then. I guess Juve being interested ruined others getting him for his release clause.
He's a big target man, who's also technically sound. He's caused us all sorts of problems every time we've played him.
So they loan out Batshitcrazy instead.
Don't think he is under threat. He has actually done well. Llorente might even be a backup at his age. Batshuayi is more at risk.
Unfortunately this week Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City are ALL going to buy a number of players which will definitely strengthen their squads. We should have been more pro-active this week and got a further signing.
Those who want us to sign any old Tom Dick or Harry just for the sake of signing players, they are idiots yes.
Yep pretty much.
Serge Aurier in the next few hours to Tottenham. Five years, 25 million euro
It's not a sign of weakness that we bought Matic, Lukaku and Lindelof "ages" ago.
We have plenty of squad players and there's not that many players available that can come straight into the first XI.
Great deal for Spurs. He's no downgrade on Walker.
Nah mate, it'll still be the team who has the most points after 38 games that wins it. Just letting Sanchez pick who wins it would be silly.
As a Liverpool fan it's hard not to get caught up in the muppetry of recent days, and the deal for Keita next season is obviously great, but, with two days left to buy, it's still all talk at the moment. How much of that talk is idle chat coming from fake ITKs and how much is fed from the club I know not. Either way, we've still not signed any of these recent 'targets' yet.
The best thing, realistically, I could hope for right now is that we sign VVD (or another highly rated CB) and keep Coutinho.
