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.
Soon as Conte signed a new deal, you knew there would be movement in Chelsea's camp. Ah well, we got Lukaku.
If this goes through, he's going to be quite motivated when playing us I suspect :P
Seriously though, it's interesting as I think it's worked out where Chelsea got the player that suits them and we got the player that suits us. I also think Lacazette really suits Arsenal. Should be an interesting fight for top PL scorer next season with Kane in the mix (and Aguero of course assuming he stays).
He's shit anyway.
Good signing
Elmohamady to Aston Villa.
Another terrible way to announce player.
I'd laugh my pants off if they got rid of Costa and ended up with a Torres MkII.
Wait, did that not happen in the end? I only skipped bits to see who it was.
He's a very different player to Costa, so I'd presume a change of formation is in the works. He can't replace him like for like, I don't believe.
80 million for a striker who never managed to score more than 15 league goals in his career (and he reached 15 only once). Just weird for me and I like Morata, but it really makes our Lukaku deal look better. Morata is a good striker, but hasn't shown anything and anywhere that he is a world beater who wins you trophies and can score enough goals, especially in teams who don't score or dominate that easy. Numbers for Mbappe are also crazy, but that kid looks really special and is much younger and his first season has already surpassed everything I saw from Morata so far. Maybe he can prove me wrong, but that transfer really doesn't bother me much. The genius in this whole thing is again Real Madrid, they get over 100 million for Morata and Danilo and nobody knows why and they just missed the triple with James, which they couldn't sell for another huge fee.
Fecking chelsea
Madness, you'd have put your house on Chelsea signing Lukaku and us signing Morata a few weeks ago.
"Football, bloody hell!"
Nah, he won't move when they've still got Bale, Benzema, Cristiano, Isco and Asensio.

All that hard work we put into not giving Madrid the money to buy Mbappe and now Chelsea and City have to ruin it all
City has Walker, why do they want Danilo?
If that happens I hope the whole club drops down a very deep hole.
No because he said he won't leave unless there is a space for him in the Starting XI and until one of Bale, Benzema or Ronaldo leave that isn't the case.
I guess they need a backup. Would have made more sense to keep Sagna.
Would be a rather expensive back-up. Surely it makes more sense to invest in a LB and CM and keep Sagna.
Heard them raving about that Maffeo kid too, seems strange to send him on loan. Thought he looked good when he played against us.
Disappointed in you Southampton. Where's the video?
Well that was quick.
He dyed his skin blue.
Seems like Roman had to open his purse for the cash, I hope uncle Flo ripped them as much as possible.
Real are cnuts, they wanted more money from us
Don't want to belabour the point but in the PL 26 goals is often enough to win the Golden Boot.
Former United great strikers Rooney, Ronaldo, Van Persie and Van Nistelrooy managed that mark a total of 4 times between them during their time at the club.
Then there's the likelihood that Rashford, Martial, Mkhitarian, Pogba and Mata plus any additions will be taking their share of chances which all points to the likelihood that your guesstimate is a little on the high side IMO.
Your caveat "if everything goes right" could mean anything, so is say 32 PL starts a number which will yield the 26 goals?
He scored 25 goals in 37 EPL games last season in an inferior team, what will prevent him from getting the same number or even more with one or 2 goals in a more superior team ?
Will be interesting to see who does best in the league next season out of Lukaku and Morata, especially seeing though we could have had either two.
Well that was an intresting situation fosho. Real had 1 buyer left, Chelsea had 1 option.
