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.
We were going to sign Griezmann remember. Think we might have got Morata as well. That would have been great. Problem I have is I am happy with Morata, but just don't think he is enough. Not with a kid as the other option and a lad who is great at football but always looks like he hates playing.
I think always.
Well its unlikely that Chelsea or Arsenal were offering for him so Everton are clearly the next best team in the Prem. Not that an amazing sign of loyalty, I'm sure most would rather join Everton than West han
Reports from yesterday are saying we bid £39m and Inter rejected it because they want £50. Regarding Morata, every outlet has said all along Madrid wanted €90m.
Frankly, I don't really care about what we pay as long as it doesn't prevent us from signing other targets. I just want us to bring in the right players.
Perisic is a better player for what we need. Salah is fast, but Perisic can defend and track back, beat a man and actually pick out a cross rather than just put his head down and hope. He's the sort of player we need, but not flashy and a bit old for the money.
Morata is also a better fit for us, and a better player than Lacazette.
Says you. Lots of us disagree about Salah being better than Perisic including Jose
He did and went back leaving his agent to sort out his future
Sanchez, Ozil and Lacazette would make Arsenal dangerous enough but Wenger still gonna Wenger
His honeymoon location has also changed from Ibiza to Sardinia
I lost interest around about the time we lost interest in Greizmann.
Yet you are still opening this thread....
I don't care where he goes as long as we're not paying his wages anymore
They'll need to invest in defence and a holding mid before I'm worried.
History shows we will give whatever is required. The hidden price of overpaying.
you're assuming the independent knows whats going on, when the most likely answer is that they are talking out of their ass.
Higuain had a buyout clause and is a proven goal scorer and a regualar for his country. Look at lacazette's price
Which histroy? Pogba history?
Aside from a handful of clubs like Everton and Milan, this has been a slow transfer window all round.
No need to panic yet.
No need to panic yet.
Thy finished above us last season. You'd have good reason to be 'worried' even if they signed no players at all.
yes, that's why I wrote: "If we truly believe that he has it in him to be a world star (which we clearly do as we're trying to sign him) then his value will increase hugely anyway."
My point was that if he does well for us over a couple of seasons then his price will increase. Look at what Lukaku will sell for this summer.
We dont have to be worried, we just have to be cautious and do our buisness properly and target the right players.
I couldn't agree with you more.
The moment Jose went public about having submitted his list to Woody months ago and the need for Woody to get to work, I knew there was trouble looming. Saying that in public just got me very curious.
I'm afraid this is not likely going to end well. The seeds of future feuds have been sown considering Jose's history unless Woody is just a super nice chap. Jose seems like a guy who has always wanted one thing and one thing only in football: to win. And he builds and destroys to achieve that. Whoever gets in his way, will get trampled. I can imagine that all that matters to him right now is to have his full squad ready for the pre-season preparations. Nothing else will make sense to him. He will not care about Woody's excuses or reasons at all. He will not 'understand'.
Let's hope I am wrong though. There aare certainly positive sides to all these. Maybe Woody might just start moving a lot faster now.
I don't think it's even a particularly slow window. My memory might be failing me, but I don't think generally that a huge amount has been done by the beginning of July most years. Obviously fans and managers want all the players in before pre-season starts, but that's never a given.
Doesn't help that our pre-season is also starting a week or two earlier than normal this year!
I didn't say anything about me not living in hope.
I am not convinced this has anything to do with any leak. Madrid was never going to shift. They have held on stubbornly for months, leak or no leak.
So it is all so certain that Jose 'leaked'? Just because Duncan wrote the article?
Yes. You thought we weren't setting a precedent with breaking a record for Pogba? He wasn't even close to 89m in market worth. Obviously we sent a message to the transfer market that we gave zero feck about fees.
Agreement by Vitolo to sign for Atletico #ttps://t.co/4D4eqsl07A
I think if we don't sign a player to play behind the striker this summer, we'll go back for Griezmann next summer.
