It shouldn't be, but do the funds get reverted to a forward and we are left stuck with McFred....would be a nightmare, but would go some way to explaining another reason for a FDJ delay.
Why half price?? We never even used himYes, also, Malacia will be sold back to Feyenoord for half price.
Somehow people have completely misunderstood the point here.I don’t see why all the pisstake, it’s perfectly reasonable logic given how the club has been run in recent history by the Glazers..
Martial, Rashford, Elanga, Garnacho. If we don’t buy a replacement then these are our options. It doesn’t mean we neglect midfield AGAIN.
The net spend was about £130m and I'm not convinced we'll get £50m in sales.Why are people going on like we don't spend money? The previous managers may not have spent well but as I have said in other threads, the previous 3 managers spent 184M on average in their first season at United. Why will it be different for ten Hag?
I think he'll be given a 200M budget
ST - 50M - NKunku
RW - 20M - Ziyech/Bergwijn
CAM - Free - Eriksen
CM - 65M - De Jong
LB - 15M - Malacia
CB - 40M - Martinez
GK - Free - Romero
In short we’re fecked mate, look at all the outgoings and one left back from Feyenoord coming in, Ten Hag better work some miracles this season..Somehow people have completely misunderstood the point here.
Our budget has been rumoured in the £120-150m range, not too dissimilar to the first years under Jose, Van Gaal and Ole.
Malacia £15m
Martinez £40m
FDJ £70m
That's £125m and we are keen on Antony for c.£50m (albeit they want £60m). So thats top end £175m, but probably achieved my making £30-40m of sales cash.
So the maths here is simple. If Ronaldo goes someone like Nkunku is £80m. That would have been needed in a year ot two, but the Glazers rarely show the willingness to finish a job and invest earlier. If they did we would have got a DM in anyone of the last 2 years and not doing so has cost us.
So the idea we'll magically find £80m is very unlikely. This leaves budget prioritisation. Or some other compromise.
Who else is doing what Ronaldo did last year? And Greenwood for a few months.

No. I don’t see why they’d be linked. Utd have probably known that Ronaldo wanted to leave for a while regardless of FDJ.
At least some posters have a brain!I think it stands to reason that with a small budget (£120m seems accurate judging by our actions thus far) that we can't just stump up for a striker because the owners won't allow that. Therefore if Ronaldo leaves, we'll need a new striker and IF we buy one then that money has to come from somewhere. Sure we can use Ronnie's wages but that doesn't cover an £80m striker which they all seem to be these days, plus his wages.
True, but this is a problem that has to be addressed sooner or later. Even if he stays he’s gone end of this season. We have got to bite the bullet soonAt least some posters have a brain!
Others seem to think there is a bottomless pit of cash despite us having not shown that for the entire Glazer era. We've spent a lot, but always gone for the plan b/c/d or delayed transfers to get the right price or not brought the extra player needed to make it work.
The level of Top Red deludedness on here is crazy. Which part of no trophies in 5 years and no title in 10 years is hard to comprehend.
Once FDJ is confirmed, this thread should be trashed and voted as worst of 2022 thus far.
I'm with this.Ffs, here we go. I wish the mods had to approve threads before they were created to stop ridiculous threads all the time

Why?
Signing a player who is happy where he is... worked well for Messi, ADM and Lukaku? Hows that something to puff the chest out about.
The Di Maria reference like a cockroach making another return!
Let’s be serious, there’s no chance Kane would comeMega bid for Kane and sticking plasters on the leaky roof
I highly doubt Nkunku is going to be that cheap
His release clause is 51.6M
It isn't smart to be one or the other, but do the funds get reverted to a forward and we are left stuck with McFred....would be a nightmare, but would go some way to explaining another reason for a FDJ delay.
