transfer spends so far
We really haven't managed to sell anyone at all. Wow.
transfer spends so far
Oh that’s great to hear. So why on earth do people entertain the idea of Sancho? Current liabilities are at 298m and they’re only sitting on 78m of cash as of last quarters report. COVID surely won’t be giving them any cash boosts any time soon. The next 12 months for United look like a cash crunch like no other. Why on earth would they get reckless here? Most of the current cash is tied up to meet the next 12 month liabilities, leaving you with little to no leverage on the negotiation table. I can’t see them slapping on another 100m+ payables for the next couple years. Consider that shareholders and Ed are well aware that sponsorship deals will dry up big time with the COVID economic shit storm. This would be a whole other conversation if this was June 2019, where united had just posted a record quarter and racked themselves up 300m in cash.
None of this looks like prime spending conditions, does it for you?
I'm not neccessarily disagreeing with you, but I do question what would be the purpose in allowing the media to run wild with speculation on a transfer that United have no intention of attempting? Even if we got a cut price deal, we'd still be looking at 90+ million, so the not-enough-cash principle will still apply. All this saga has done is increase the fans frustration and increased pressure/criticism from pundits and the media. If we genuinely had no cash to spend then we would not have even flirted with the idea, we'd have shut down these rumours at the start of the summer.Oh that’s great to hear.

We just cannot shift the shit in our squad.spending in this window so far
Mirror is the same level as the sun. A comic.
And there are people who suggest we could recoup 90m this summer by selling all our dead woods.We really haven't managed to sell anyone at all. Wow.

Why am I still here?
Anyone financially literate here?
Why on earth would the United board slash their earnings by another -$150m right before (4 days till earnings) they’re about to announce one of the gloomiest quarterly reports in Uniteds public history? I know it won’t be on this quarters report but shareholders will dump the company really quickly. Btw it’s shareholders glazers care about, not ‘fans’
No sense to it. They were never going to spend more than 30m this quarter on players.
Their share price has been crashing in the past 5 days leading up to the report. Glazers won’t take on anymore expenses with COVID about to lock the world up again for the next couple months.
Forget Sancho, I can’t believe anyone thought this PUBLICLY TRADED company was going to dump +100m right before horrible earnings!
Just to suffer?Why am I still here?
ESPN is reporting the mirror and sun rumors.
pins and needles to see if they except the 90 million
As much as I gripe about this whole saga of transfers... I would love to be a fly on the wall in the room when this offer goes down.Is there any reason to believe Dortmund need a cash injection this season? Now or in a few months?
If they can do without it, they probably will refuse to sell unless Sancho kicks up a fuss, which hasnt happened.
The only way our approach makes sense is knowing no one else is going in for him.. drag it late and have Dortmund in a weaker position.. And end up getting a big discount.
So.. after dragging it this late, our opening bid isnt exactly going to be 108m, is it?
We might have totally misjudged the situation.. wouldnt surprise me one bit.. but .. if we have a final play, we'll see it sometime very soon.. and will find out if the gamble worked.
Same here! One of the best ones in my book.You get a thumbs up from me, @ayushreddevil9 . Especially as that was one of my favourite Tom & Jerry episodes as a kid.
Yeah, forgot about that guy.Robert Lewandowski plays Tennis.
They may care less than some of the other better owners, but they certainly give a toss - we wouldn't be the second highest spending club in the PL in the last decade otherwise.I don’t think they Glazers give a toss about “supporters wrath” they never have before.
Why would they start now?
Let it go FFS.
We just cannot shift the shit in our squad.
Phil cnuting Jones is gonna be here a decade next summer. I can't stand him.
Lingard still pissing around.
Mata is basically our nice guy ambassador.
Pereira, waste of time.
Rojo. Shit.
Dalot. See above.
So much pointless rubbish in this squad.

So this Howard Nurse thing, I take it he means palatable as in easier for United to swallow. He’s not saying anything new at all. Just repeating what most journos and us have assumed on transfer window. A down payment and then incentive based add ons.
He isn’t adding anything new and neither was Lukhurst the other day. They’ve just polished up some old news from a few weeks back, slapped some paint on it and pushed it out.
The Mirror saying we're going to make one final take-it-or-leave-it offer of £90 million for Sancho next week. My guess is they'll leave it.
