simonhch replied to the thread Which player do you think will surprise everyone this season?.It’s hard to say one player but I think there are a few that I am tentatively hopeful for this season: Return to form: Rashford - a summer of rest, a more stable environment, has a lot to prove and at his age needs to now consistently perform...

simonhch replied to the thread De Ligt | €45+5m agreement reached pending medical | Signed!.We’ll go into the season with 5 cbs. This is needed. The 5th is Evans on a very low contract and as an emergency back up. Lindelof will likely leave. So we’ll have Martinez, Yoro and Maguire. I am sure we’ll add another CB and we need to...

simonhch replied to the thread Martín Zubimendi | £51m release clause.Although it is impossible to be certain without being present inside the room, I do believe that we are logically after two centre backs and two midfielders. I believe we will also see one CB go out to accommodate this (Lindelof), and one...

simonhch replied to the thread Erik ten Hag | 2022/23 & 2023/24.I see that the media have already grasped on to his latest comments as a sign of potential discord. There is a general desperation to portray United as dysfunctional, even in light of the recent sharp increase in transfer and operational...

simonhch replied to the thread Adrien Rabiot - you're not going to believe this but his Mum is his agent and a circus.Amrabat is back with Fiorentina and there haven’t been any noises about us making the move permanent from what I’ve seen. Did I miss something? In terms of squad make up, I believe who we sign in midfield will largely determine how we play. If...

simonhch replied to the thread Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement.Swiss Rumble has already explained that we don’t effectively have many limits on PSR anymore. They calculated we can easily spend 250m this summer without having any concerns. So the only limits financially are actual cash flow, and our internal...

simonhch replied to the thread Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement.He’s a must buy for the energy and profile he would bring to our midfield. But he’s not a like for like replacement for Casemiro. If we sign him I’d imagine we’ll play 4-2-3-1 with Ugarte and Mainoo as double pivots. They compliment each other...

simonhch replied to the thread Club Ownership | INEOS responsible for the football side.You can see the shape of things to come. Clearly building a long term project that can only get stronger with time. Just look at the profile of our targets, a mix of young players ready to take the next step up to become bonafide stars, and young...

simonhch replied to the thread Leny Yoro | 8pm announcement.Seriously hyped for this transfer. One for the long term, and patience will be needed, but this is how you go about building sustainable success. Adding proven, young players ready to take the next step to stardom (Zirkzee - 23yrs old, Seríe A...

simonhch replied to the thread Mason Greenwood, Marseille Footballer | Read the thread rules in the OP before posting.Goes into a box with Ravel Morrison. Two outrageously talented footballers, who could have been amongst the best players of their generation, who ruined their own United careers. MG is one of the best players I have ever seen to come through our...

simonhch replied to the thread Transfer Tweets - England/Scotland - 2024/25.Fee is a joke. If signing for anyone else, they’d be getting 50-70m for one of the brightest young talents in world football. They’re essentially paying themselves anyway, but have to lessen impact on PSR compliance.

simonhch replied to the thread Adrien Rabiot - you're not going to believe this but his Mum is his agent and a circus.I doubt he’s going to accept a 2 year contract. At 29 it’s his last major contract. At best he’s going to accept a three plus one. Most likely hell be looking for a 4 year deal from someone. As others have said, I’d take him on a two year deal...

simonhch replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.The only thing better than their current meltdown, would be the meltdown that would ensue if we end up actually signing him for less than the 70m they want.
-
simonhch replied to the thread Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement.I agree but I will say that the club clearly have a very well defined transfer strategy this summer that involves going after certain profiles of players. I assuming this fits into a holistic vision of what the squad actually needs, and balanced...
