Love the fans that are more worried about Manchester United spending some of "Glazers" money then that the club is sinking. Pay whatever it takes if ETH is convinced that he is a player that can make an impact. I still believe that we are in a much bigger need of like 2-3 CMs, 1 CF and 1 RB.
I'd rather pay him 100m if that means we can bench Rashford.
I am not a fan of the Martinez signing but he's already being used as an example of a flop after a few minutes? 
Football fans are extremely fickle. I try to ignore the people who are extremists and those who make up their minds quickly.I am not a fan of the Martinez signing but he's already being used as an example of a flop after a few minutes?

without a dominant CB hard to imagine how he can transition to being a good player for us though? That’s everyone’s main worry. We ain’t going to get that guy in this season. It’s Maguire!
I can't see it happening personally. There was a point in the window when I thought this would be done late, but not so much now.
I mean for the sake of 20m, we are letting our reputation go down the drain, manager not being backed and worse of all, there is no alternative. We have to pay what they want, we left it too long in the window to have any bargaining power.
Transfer request?
you mean for a sum less than the Glazers took out as dividends weeks ago…
Only reasons must be kick up a fuss, refuse to play, put in a transfer request to maybe torpedo the huge asking price.
So we think Ajax will give us a discount on the last day and let one of their key players go without a replacement?
Just shows how thick the clowns are that run the club.
Even if he put a transfer request in right at the end of the window they wouldn’t let him go because they wouldn’t have enough time to get a replacement in.
I feel like this transfer can be done with zero fuss next summer. Our relationship with Ajax is fairly good and us holding off until then would be appreciated by them.
Your comment just adds to the depressing context, and rightly so.
Would he fancy the championship though?
If we don't sign him now we never will as he will have miles better offers next summer.
Pay 65 million quid for him now as well as that Nunes from Sporting and let's try salvage a season heading for the shitter.
You, me and the rest of the Caf as well!
Antony will not put up a stink at Ajax, by all accounts, he’s happy there.
I would bet they’ve already identified one. They are much better organised in the market than we are.
Maybe now the Gakpo links makes sense. We sign Gakpo and use him as a makeweight in the Antony deal because I assume PSV won’t sell directly to Ajax. 4D chess by Murtough!
We already signed an envisioned successor: Conceição
The player that has been kissing the logo and making heart symbols to the fans the last few weeks is going to kick up a fuss? Not gonna happen
Of course, remember when we tried the same with Sancho? That worked a treat as well...
No chance he comes this year, it'd be next year for a Sancho like fee. If it even happens.
United are probably chancing that if he has a poor season he'll be worth less next summer.
Those would be genius tactics, especially with a World Cup in between.
But if he's poor/not developing further for Ajax what good would he be for United?
Looking at our transfer record of the last 10 years, he'd do a job.
Why on Earth would we want someone who plays poorly? We have enough of such players already
Nunes is going to Wolves as we sit in our hands wondering why we sit bottom
That is the issue that it isn't the Glazers money and they will continue to rip money out the club and into their fat dirty pockets whether we make money or not.
It is a concern wasting money on average players, we have wasted over a billion quid of the clubs money in the last decade. It can't continue
You seriously think we should pay 80mil?
For the sake of 20m we don’t continue to get fleeced in every transfer deal. We can blame the club for a lot, but not wanting to spend 80m is a decent position to take.
Could recoup a decent chunk of it by selling Rashford to PSG. But of course that's not how United roll so it doesn't matter. Instead we'll do nothing
i think we should pay whatever it takes to get ten hags Priority targets.
you can’t be thrifty from a position of dogshit. You can save the money later down the line.
Our club really should be spending the most money of anyone every summer. Except we are saddled by these cnuts the glazers who put us in debt and leech money out of the club. We should have had an extra billion to spend over their ownership.
That's quite frankly the club's fault for not registering serious interest before Ajax got their first team picked apart. Going into a season with Rashford / Sancho who have neither shown great form in the last 12 months puts the club in a position of desperation. United already got fleeced for Martinez. The consensus that Murtough is going about business in a wise manner will hit home hard when the transfer window is shut and the likes of Fred / Mctomminay are still running the midfield. It's intriguing to hear what excuse will come out the club's board when this happens.
