Di Maria.
A more showboating Nani with better defensive work rate.
So, I take it we wont be signing Gakpo aswell then!
I'd be lying if I said I didn't like his antics to get out of ajax but I certainly hope he doesn't pull that on us a few years down the line.
Louis takes out his fountain pen from the top right drawer on his desk, touches the tip to his tongue to check the ink is flowing and then opens his notebook to page 6. There, written in a lovely slanted font are the two sentences ‘football club’ and ‘commercial club’ separated by a neat line which runs perfectly down the centre of the page, separating the two sides. He runs his fingers down the ‘football club’ column pausing when reaches Ajax. He sighs. Then, pressing firmly, he crosses a line through the word and, in the opposite, less populated, column headed ‘commercial club’, writes Ajax.
A few minutes he sits, is he waiting for the ink to dry or is he thinking back to his time in charge of that club? It is of no consequence, a thought snaps him back to the present, the notebook clacks shut, the pen is deposited back into the drawer and he stands up, straightening his trousers as he does so.
‘Truus’ he calls out. ‘Have you heard what Ajax have done?’
We definitely need that, but again, we still need someone who's going to provide the goals. Someone to get on the end of these chances that Sancho, Antony, Eriksen, and Bruno create.
Oh no...
I thought we got a right winger last summer with Sancho signing but in the end it seems he'll play as LW for us mostly.
Matter of time when the money in question was being discussed and then Antony went in for the kill on Friday.
Let's hope we finally get our first Brazillian superstar at United, almost 20 years from when I thought we were getting my favourite player ever and then we didn't

He is just tweeting depending on what might be the outcome.
Antony is getting sold - Well fine, we are selling player with 8 goals + 4 assists
Antony stays - Can't believe we are retaining him, will enjoy magnificent player for at least one more year.
Still need both don't we and that isn't happening
It’s the stuff of dreams really. Scary scary potential
Only if we let Ronaldo go.
Agreed! the fees paid for north will be cheap when you consider they could be here for ten years
LVG confirms Anthony will not be considered for the Dutch squad after his move to Man United.....
GK and striker are the 2 biggest issues now. Replacing Ronaldo with Memphis or Morata would fit very well for a few years and be achievable. GK the big one for next year. GK, RB and deep playmaker will probably be the only 3 transfers next summer.
Every day that goes by just shows how right Rangnick was about needing 10 players.
1. Malacia (left back)
2. Martinez (centre back)
3. Eriksen (midfield)
4. Casemiro (defensive midfield)
5. Antony (right wing)
6. ? (new striker)
7. ? (centre midfield)
8. ? (right back)
9. ? (additional striker - e.g. a backup/bench option)
10. ? (new goalkeeper to replace De Gea)
He was spot on.
At the same time, every single one of those signings made (so far) improves us. Can't fault the recruitment. These are the right players. I think we're finally getting it right. Right manager, too.
He's been having a mare all summer. this was in June:
this is when he thought we were getting Gkapo instead:
He has just become ridiculously bitter since. Having a meltdown in his replies. I'm actually worried for him
Grealish and lukaku went for 100. Who cares.
We got our man. Lets gooooo
Yeah when he said it I thought he's close there
Still seething after sealing a 100m sale
Feed me your tears
Insanely cheap considering how much lukaku, grealish and fofana etc. cost.
The striker up top is the one glaring thing we're missing that is going to cause us the most issues this season, in my opinion. I am very satisfied with how the defence is looking, and we're making strides with the midfield area with Casemiro and Eriksen. But, watching Haaland yesterday, we literally just need someone who can stay up top and put the chances away.
I'm warming to the Memphis Depay possibility. Wasn't sure at first, but could work out well with what we're trying to do. I don't think he's it and the solution in the same way that Casemiro is the solution to defensive midfield, or Varane + Martinez is to our defence. He's an option that we should most definitely explore, though.
The European Lad twitter has no value. I can't believe you guys are following him, it's no more than following average posters on caf.
And Nunez
You haven't watched him.
We will be fine. Even if Antony flops, we will sell him and move on. We are a rich club. Not oil rich but still a rich club. Don’t need to fret over the price. The only negative I can take away from this is that it will set a precedent for other clubs selling their players to us in the future. On a brighter note, I for one am stoked to see Antony on the pitch soon!
and that head-butter too.
Everything Rangnick said was right. From a DOF perspective.
He just wasn’t a great coach, even though looking at our first 4 performances maybe it was the players.
here's the issue wiht that though....both Eriksen and Casemiro are both 30 yrs old so at the top flight they have maybe 2 years left in them of quality so we have to hope that a couple of the young lads come thru otherwise we are doing the same 4 windows from now and still needing to finish 6-10

Was the Nunez transfer fee also only quoted including add-ons?
Has the money to find himself a good dermatologistI hope he uses some of the transfer fee to fix his jawline acne, they are 'Cassano' level.
Welcome anyway
Leaves me more concerned than ever about funds needed to upgrade the stadium as we’re running out of wall to piss money up.
Yeah like if Martial was a freak fitness wise who never got injured, I could be ok with it. But he gets injured constantly, so even at best he needs resting. Yeah Memphis is basically just someone similar in some ways that could help us for a couple of years until we address it in 2024 likely.
You should have no reason to trust them either that's the point. Just like Goldbridge, flat earthers, governments etc. Just think about it. Even if they have a contact then who is it? How many people are actually involved in the bidding process? A handful of top CEO's? Then the player and the agent but I would be surprised if they knew everything. Like does Murtough get off the phone with Ajax and then rings the agent and gives him a play by play of the conversation? I doubt it. So even if Romano is getting info straight from agents its only second hand half info. Basically whatever the club has deemed ok to release to the agents and even then only a fraction of the story. Then you add all the lies the agents will release that's a benefit to their players. Oh Man Utd is interested. A bid is going in etc. All to sell their player or negotiate a new contract. Plus the clubs purposely put out lies for various reasons. I can go in and on. But at the end of the day most news, I dont care where you source it from, is at best half truths and at worst blatant lies.
