At the moment nothing as SJR doesnt own any stake in Man Utd, if he does buy in to Man Utd though (which still isnt guarenteed to happen) only 1 of them would be allowed in to the Champions League with the other being forced to drop in to the Europa Conference League and they would be banned from signing players from each other in the summer window.

Hopefully 4D chess by stringing Spurs along all January to waste their time and then boom in typical Utd fashion, we pay double the market rate to sign him.
Oh wait...
Oh wait...
If we miss this guy be a shame. Perfect Varane replacement. Him Van de Ven and Romero gives spurs some great options.
Is he really the player to replace Varane?
He's good on the ball and wins most of his tackles but he doesn't seem to win too many aerial duals?

Give us a good deal, Uncle Jim.
Maybe he has other qualities rhat Varane doesn't have (anymore). Staying injury-free for example.
How important are aerial duals in the Prem any more? I haven't seen any stats but it feels like having a quick, mobile CD is more important than having a tall one these days.
Set pieces are still vital. A problem for us if we are still going to play Martinez.
Nearly all team have big guys at CB still. Including Pep.
It's not like Todibo is a dwarf with his 1.90
Yes, but that seems more about pace and power than height. Headed goals are down overall:

Agree its not as big a deal as it was but there's no denying the vast majority of teams still have tall guys at CB who are good in the air.
Very few have strong, fast short guys at CB do they?
With the SJR connection we need to get him and not let him join Spurs. I also think he is the most gettable in the winter, as players like Tapsoba or Diomande are unlikely to leave in winter, for an affordable price at least.
I still think aerial domination is important. If you keep losing aerial battles, you need to focus a lot more on the second ball which stretches your defensive structure.
Yeah does feel like he is gettable in January
I would question you on the idea that Martinez is quick. Average pace at best.We do, the mighty midget Martinez
But yes, I take your point.
Pascal Sauvage bought United shares
Pascal Sauvage is french
If Pascal Sauvage's first signing is Jean-Clair Todibo, a french footballer
Then can we start moaning about Nepotism?

Todibo to Spurs seems getting more likely everyday. Would be a shame to lose him to direct rivals. Sir Jim! Do something!
And what flag do you see when you turn the Dutch flag clockwise onto its side? It’s all there. You’ve just to be able to see it.
So let me get this straight Nice would sell their starting CB mid season which could adversely impact their campaign which holds so much promise as things stand , nah it's not happening Todibo is unlikely to move in January to Tottenham or that matter United .
The Jim effect
Jimmy, don't let him go to the Spurs. Bring the lad here in the summer for a discount.
Is there some sort of rules around Ratcliffe not being allowed to step in and block Todibo going to anyone but United? The sort of rule Chelsea/City etc ignore but we will probably follow to the letter?
Good, because we can't afford him in January without significant sales. Our only chance of getting him is if he moves in the summer.
How many talented French CBs do Chelsea want?
I really hope that Sir Jim can tell him behind the doors that he should stay at Nice and fight for the league, then join United in summer.
Or he could just not sell him in Jan outright? He doesnt have a release clause right?How many talented French CBs do Chelsea want?

Just a lack of proactivity from us in the market again if we let this one slip because we don't want to do January business. I'm praying that Ineos cuts this shit out.
If we don't have any money it might be that we can't do January business without selling first.
I saw that film, and I'm pretty sure Johnny English stopped him gaining control. Whether or not he then bought Lewis Dunk for £80m I can't say.
How on earth can Chelsea still make transfers and United are completely stuck with FFP?
If we begin to run how we should from the summer then we should have like 3/4 good CB targets in the mould of Todibo that we can go for. Silva, Scalvini, Singo, Diomande etc
Wasn't he the dude who was laughing at some pre-match memorial event or smth? I remember briefly something about it start of the season, doesn't sound like the best attitude person to have within you.
The build up to this window has been dominated by uncertainty. Until a week ago we didn't even know who'd be calling the shots, one half of the lads in charge left, the new minority owners won't be officially in place until after the window I reckon. All in a window we dont really do much business in anyway.
Can Ineos step in now ? They are still not finalized, as in the final paperwork and shit. Chelsea can easily swoop in if the current management decides to do nothing and wait for summer transfers
United can’t be interested if he goes elsewhere.
So there is nothing to get flustered about.
But the media will spin it as another United failure no matter the outcome.
