It originated from being one of the clubs that spends the most every window and also have one of the biggest wage budgets. We are also heavily linked with expensive players. I don’t see where your pessimism come from..
This has to be sarcasm surely.
it will be like "United break record on Sancho but ignore obvious deficiencies", "United spend 120M on Sancho; not the right thing to do in this climate", "Why Sancho will fail at United and has the hallmarks of another miserable transfer window." etc etcI don't care about the media spin but the situation is changing to "Chelsea about to do a master bla bla" with Havertz, and even if United get's Sancho it's going to be a "finally".This could be the biggest transfer in PL History and it's going to be reported as a "finally"
20% chance.
People just read headlines and think every other club signs these players in days when there are a lot more details to it. Everything so our people look bad and incompetent as this fits the narrative.
Pretty much all their journalists are saying it's close. Obviously a brief but I can understand if you still are skeptical about the deal.
Fair enough that Napoli worked on Osimhen for months even during the pandemic, we should've been doing the same surely? I still think we will get the deal done but just making the point big money transfers are happening around the world during COVID-19.
Kroenke and tight-fisted fecking Arsenal are on the verge of making their second signing. Willian was a shrewd addition and they’re locking up a CB now as well. This addresses some of the needs in their squad.
Our supporters have every right to be frustrated with Woodward and Joel glazer. The fact we’re in such a precarious state financially despite drawing massive commercial revenue should be a major concern, and goes to show how vulnerable we really might be with our massive debt and servicing charges that go with it. Out of all the clubs, we should be one of the best prepared in dealing with a crisis like Covid yet the all we’re hearing is that cash reserves are a problem and that it won’t be business as usual.

Yep
"United do record signing yet they are still to win a EPL in Seasons, Souness, what do you think?"why?
Sauce?
I suspect that's why you are not negotiating Manchester United transfers and would never be considered either!
Arsenal is shopping in a different market though. We are looking for "cheap" and free players, not one of the hottest property in the market. My understanding is money is super tight in Arsenal without CL football again next season.
We've got a new Muppet to welcome to the academy!

Yep, look like we have master negotiators in town.
Harry Maguire price £80m - 2 months later manutd pay £80m
AWB price £50m - Manutd pay the price after 6 weeks
Fred - prob worth £20 but we paid £50m
Fellaini had release clause of £15m - Manutd wanted to pay £25m
Mata - £40m when we had Kagawa
Very good negotiating skills
Talk about ABU coverage...I don't see why you'd put a positive spin on other clubs and a negative one at ours (unless you're a WUM in disguise, which wouldn't surprise me).
Anyways, to prevent another potential uproar: the only other clubs that have actively invested in incoming transfers so far were City and Chelsea. Both have large amounts of money to spend (City via Abu Dhabi, Chelsea via the transfer ban + outgoing transfers). In response to your post:
- Liverpool: they signed Tsimikas because they missed out on Jamal Lewis (I'm not sure about how good Tsimikas is); they're struggling to come up with enough money to get Thiago and may even pull out of the deal
- City: they'll never run out of money because of Abu Dhabi
- Chelsea: they are only working on Havertz at this time; there's 0 progress on any other incoming transfer; they need to sell defenders before they can buy any new ones (including Chilwell)
- Arsenal: Arsenal need way more than Saliba, Willian, and Gabriel to get close to us; their midfield is in terrible shape, for one (they likely won't get Ceballos back, too), and they still have Ozil's wages holding them back
- Spurs are struggling to generate funds for incoming transfers; they're trying to sell more players before they can buy, and their defensive and attacking depths are getting reduced.
- Everton and Wolves can chase whoever they want; both teams are struggling to come up with enough money to get in players
- Everton in particular lost out on Gabriel
BS. The news is that Glaser is keeping an eye on big transfers (it is up to him).
I assumed as much but wanted to intimate that you shouldn't go posting obvious quotes from places without indicating where they came from.
Of course their journalists will say that freely when they take one step forward. United keep our journalists quiet until we get very close to signing someone. Heck, Romano was being very positive about us after we agreed personal terms with Sancho.
Also, we have been working on this for a while; there's no way we'd have gone as far as negotiating the payment structure and coming to a personal agreement without negotiating for a while.
Behave mate.
You've pounced on a perfectly good post and twisted to your own narrative.
Our people have completely and utterly botched the football side of a football club for the past 7 years, not much explanation is needed here. Our comical search for a sporting director is still going on.
It's not a surprise if a few supporters mistrust them.
And our transfer spendings for past 6-7 have been finally(!) on par for a club of our size, not like our people went and spent beyond our means like some posters here suggest.
They’re not spending €120m on one player though are they.
Homeowners making some sense actually:
1. It's very clear that if he walks through door he will be class as we all know how high is his ceiling.
2. There's a lot of financial wiggle room, but we first need to get through this difficult window.
3. Unlike Liverpool, all our taps are installed downstairs at the bottom of the house, we don't tap up.
4. It's clearly a homeowner matter as it has been well reported that Sancho is home sick.
5. And finally, when Romano tweets "here we go", you will see all of the removal compenies will have theirlube trucks ready on here.
Homeowners are the knew ITKs I tell you.

Why do people seem to think Chelsea have got so much money to spend this summer, if they did they would of gone for Sancho....
It did work with AWB. They originally wanted us to get rid of the clause we have for Zaha, but ultimately accepted our offer without us doing that.
Many of the early reports had Leicester wanting £90m for Maguire, although from memory it did come down to £80m quite a bit earlier before we paid it.
I'd be pretty upset if I had Kroenke doing business for us - he's going for lesser talent and overpaying for old age pensioners. Don't compare this to a generational talent like Sancho, for god's sake.

UTD owners dont want to spend 100M+ on Sancho.
Shit newspaper.
Basically repeating what The Athletic think is happening. The Express are so bad they have to go other media outlets for news.
Our journalists think personal terms and agent fees are the stumbling block in addition to transfer fees. Romano has a different opinion. In reality, no one knows how far along it is and with 23 days left to go to the season start, we better get it done or move on as soon as possible.
Nor are Chelsea likely to get Chilwell and Havertz on the cheap. The combined total for those 2 alone is going to be over 100m
Leverkusen reportedly want around 100m and Chilwell will reportedly go for a world record fee for a FB. It's not 120m on a player sure but no their targets won't be cheap at all
It's funny cause it's true
I seriously believe we're thought of as the clown company by elite teams
I've mentioned this before, but it's not just Romano who mentioned this; Christian Falk confirmed Romano's statements a while back.
Was the Fellaini 15 million release clause true ?
Fellaini was exceptionally well documented to have a £24m release fee, and we paid £28m
It doesn't need you to make us look even bigger mugs there
Nope. He's reduced it to make us look even bigger chumps.
24m was the fee. We paid 28m
Possibly mixing up the fee Everton bought him for - which looks to be 15m
Source?
A week before we signed Bruno there were stories of Joe Glazer not thinking he was worth that etc etc. A week later we signed him.
Believe guys it’s almost Sancho day.
Believe guys it’s almost Sancho day.
Are you saying 7 days to go
About 150-160m euros for those two apparently. Surely they can't get a CB/GK now?
