Gross. Net was around 495m last time I saw, due to revenues.

I find it hilarious that there is only one player on this planet, Europe South America etc that fits the profile of what we need to improve our pretty much rubbish midfield.
We have scouts? I thought it was just a Google search for Ajax players?
He’s not the only one. He’s the best one. I find it hilarious that you can’t see the difference.
Some people just have no patience. They want signings and they want them now. I understand the need for a midfield signing, but we have to make sure it is the right player, we've signed too many guys who have flopped horribly already
Well you cant always sign the best one, so who is the second best one?
Well there was only one manager who could win us 38 trophies in the last two and a half decades. I mean there were other managers available too at the time I suppose.
Is it that much? I could swear it was at ca 250 mil level pre-COVID.
RedOkay maybe.
RedLaugh sounds like a crap action comedy starring Schwarzenegger and Belushi
Thats not a good comparison, at all.
But you want us to settle for second best.
Frenk its on. The more i drink the more sure i get he will come
I’m pretty sure no-one is taking that figure seriously. I doubt we’ll get him at a sensible price but we really do need a player who is “better than what we have”.
But we can, we have a deal
In place so no need for a second best.
But if you have a good chance of signing the best player (which we do, regardless of what the doomers think), why should we settle for second best? Just so we can make a signing?
Then comes the hangover, when one is sure we're gonna sign fecking McGinn
All the time there's a deal in place, the chance of signing him is very high. Regardless of whats being said in the media, the reality will be much much different.
What we as a forum and people on here know and what United/ten Hag knows is two totally different things. They know fact, we know speculation
I don't see what's wrong with that. It's not like we are the best team in the world right now. Signing the second best player on the planet doesnt seem like a terrible idea considering.We have been trying to sign the first option for three months now.
Russia the bastards bombed Odessa just hrs after agreeing not too, in Ireland pension age won't be raised so, backbenchers 1 mehole martin 0, states side, Xavi was picked up by border agents after canoeing across the Rio Grande and given 100 bucks and a plane ticket to LV, while in Las Vegas on a night out at the MGM garden, FDJ replaced the local talent and gave a retention of a John Denver classic,
Take me home, United road,
To a place that I belong,
To Old Trafford, to see United
Take me home, United road
Sorry, ran out of xanax.
We have a deal with the club not the player though. Anyway..
McGinn? Tubby little shithouse cnut... Feck off
Can’t stand the little cnut
Everybody need players “better than we have” but that doesn’t mean our team hasn’t got very good players.
We haven’t got very good players in midfield, in case you haven’t noticed.
Frenkie is Fergie?
Uncanny similarities
Man this is so wierd, we have agreed a fee for Frenkie with his club and everyone is just waiting on this game of chicken between Laporta and Frenkie 
He’ll come, as will all of us. I can’t see someone like Ten Hag waiting this long if he wasn’t sure.
What’s the Italian phrase ‘Done Dealio’ in Dutch?
What’s the Italian phrase ‘Done Dealio’ in Dutch?
He has tiny eyes, never trust a man with tiny eyes
We don’t have well deployed players in midfield. We don’t have good coached players in midfield. We don’t have a clear plan in midfield. The players themselves are obviously good or they wouldn’t play for Manchester United.
That how a transfer works…..
Komkommertijd is more apt. Cucumber time.
It refers to the quiet summer period when little happens.
You want us to sign poor players because we are a poor team with poor players. Can’t say I see your logic there. We want the very finest players available to improve our team and get back to the top!
I’m gonna strap myself in for the night and then snipe for page 1000 
Excellent. Never heard ‘Cucumber Time’ before!
Frenkie is Fergie+Phil Jones?!?
It just so happens that the best player for the position we need also has a really difficult situation with his current club that in reality we have absolutely no say in.
When it's sorted, things will progress. We're talking about €17m here, not a cheeky fiver you lent to dodgy Dave down the pub.
