even that makes no sense given nobody believes it
people are just discussing if it’s United or journalists are making it up
we’re just applying Woody logic to Murtough but I doubt he’s that stupid
to be fair thousands of people ask him everyday what's going on with the transfer so he's just appealing to the masses
And also, he has to keep the engagement numbers up.
Eriksen was brought to Ajax at youth level when their head of youth recruitment was Henny de Regt. And since 2016, de Regt has been at United and is currently the head of European scouting at first team level. Along with Eriksen, he's been credited with discovering the talents of de Ligt and Wesley Sneijder in the past aswell.

regardless though, again notice he’s saying 70mill Euros where as all the British press are saying 85mill pounds or 100mill euros
Having a go at people like romano for tweeting the same thing over and over again is like having a go at women for selling nude photos on only fans. They are just making easy money off idiots (somehow in Romano's case, not sure how exactly but I assume he is).
A broken clock is right twice a day.
No doubt he will quote himself when the deal is done...proving he has all the insider knowledge
guy is a complete fraud.I think the only one that may fit into this category is Antony. But it's probably a season too early to state that. The other signings he knows have been fine. I'm sure he's not stupid enough to think that everyone he has been associated with is good enough to follow him to United!
€70m works out at just over £60m so if that’s the case then this will get done without much fuss. British media making an arse of the currencies as per usual.
If those numbers are accurate, what is the problem? £60m which is the middle of our range is around €70m.
Out of curiosity would you find that meaningless if it was reported PSG had offered this exact same contract to Rasmus?Fabrizio Romano can be so incredibly tedious with his repetitive, meaningless tweets
I agree except one thing. Rooney never got where he was without a great work rate. It was all the other nonsense diet etc that slowed him down or limited his ceiling. Every injury seemed to take away 5% afterwards. He was flying until those metatarsal injuries
I don't think there has ever been a problem with this deal. It's a 90 percenter. The media just like to lead people down the garden path because it gets attention.
That's all the PSG and inflated fee stuff is. Posturing, positioning themselves for a deal. But the media know fans buy into every single line. But ultimately this is a simple equation. Selling club that won't kill off their golden goose with absurdity and a big club and player that desperately want the deal. It will happen.
Absolutely but my point was that for people that closely follow Ajax the criticism isn't something new. To be clear it sometimes worked out wonderfully. Nobody was impressed with us buying Haller for big bucks but it worked out perfectly with Antony in the team. Not suggesting United should go for Haller but he does know what he's doing.
This would be the first big signing that I assume Ten Hag didn’t lead things on, since the others were all players he was familiar with (coached or coached against) or known quantities on loans like Sabitzer (he didn't play in the Ajax-Leipzig friendly of 2021 and also it was a friendly not even sure that would count).
I wonder what led Ten Hag to support this one. Maybe just insanely glowing reports at a position we need? Eriksen or that guy who brought him to Ajax?
But either way this feels like the first big signing of the post-“I don’t trust anyone at this club talking about football” era for Ten Hag.
Discsussing it on here... Your average back page The Sun reader laps it up.
This deal will be done in the next 7 days imo
Before or after Amrabat?
Yeah I’m sure Murtough is desperate to convince The Sun readers of the world that he made a good deal
Journos having no clue here, seems like it's safe to assume we're in a stalemate with this transfer.
We bid a few times to Chelsea for Mount right? And now we're talking about bidding for the first time for how long now? Something is off.

£60m is still a crazy price imo.
What’s he done to justify such a price tag!?
Chelsea have just bought Nkunku for £52m for context.

Why is there still such a huge disparity on the fee between the British and Italian press?
They aren't willing sellers so that's immediately going to push the price up
Yeah that's very odd indeed
Nkunku had a release clause and isn't a striker
Release clause.
Yeah strikers always go for a premium UNLESS they are people like Alvarez
Ok then Gakpo to Liverpool for £35-45m.
However you wanna spin it, £60m for this lad is very steep given what he’s done thus far in his career.
Not a striker again
It's ridiculous that it takes an entire transfer window (or sometimes 2 or even 3 transfer windows) for us to bid for a player. Always some drama.
Meanwhile, clubs like LFC and even AFC are able to get their business done quickly. I've watched several documentaries on footballers and they all say that when they are sold it is done very quickly with little notice.
The negotiating team at MUFC should be fired. They are beyond incompetent.
Either make the deal or move on to another target.

They spent ages getting Rice over the line.
I don't feel worried about this. We'll get it done. Funny how being halfway competent in the Mount and Onana deals has influenced the way I think.
And it's people like you who cry when we overpayand get fleeced by every club out there. So what now? Pay every fee they want or stay firm and negotiate?
So you aren't aware of the Glazer sign off then
Tell that to Klopp. He’s played mainly as a striker for Liverpool.
No? Where did you get that from? Honestly you're creating a load of nonsense because of your own lack of patience. It's quite clear this is progressing in the direction towards a deal.
Yeah it's definitely progressing
OK we are overpaying
If even croadyman can see it's progressing, and he's the most negative fella on here (no offence), you all need to relax.
