If we take £42m as the fee is there a world in which we sign De Ligt and York for combined £84m which is around what Everton were saying it would take for Branthwaite?

Real couldnt afford to pay €50m for Leny this summer as they blew most of their budget signing Mbappe
Nice to see we've completed another deal. Surely there will be another CB coming in with Lindelof leaving.
Yoro, Martinez, Maguire, de Ligt + Evans looks better than what we had last season.

Yeah, they are drinking some strong copium over there today.
- We were not in for him - Turns out, they were, they simply gave up assuming he was Real bound, and did not even try harder
- We can not give him an eyewatering(exact phrase) salary of £175 - Turns out, he is on £114k
- Quansah is better than him - It remains to be seen
- We have a massive squad, we don't need him - Konate is a sick note, VVD is not getting younger
- He will break our wage structure - Turns out, he won't
- We don't pay such a huge fee for young players - Caicedo and Lavia say hi
- They found out he is on £114k - Wow, that's obscene for a teenager
He's a Liverpool fan returnee (formerly @Megadrive Man).
He just forgets to pretend otherwise quite often.
“Quansah is better than him”
From the same lads who’ll still tell you Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliot are better than Mainoo.

Imagine being that pessimistic. Must be a miserable time.
What pessimism? He's a ban-evading Liverpool fan.
Maybe ask yourself why other clubs decided not to get involved and why Madrid weren't prepared to pay more than £20 million?
He could turn out to be 'the new rio ferdinand'
He could just as easily be 'the new Harry Maguire'
Banned now.
Oh well

Cry more scousers.
Nice one.
Not quite sure how he got away with it for as long as he managed.
in isolation his posts look normal for the transfer forum
That's probably fair.
Is it really 42m rising to 52 with add-ons? Luckhurst in the mud. That's a great deal and much better value for money than Branthwaite.
Is he someone who can play a high line? Feel like that’s the most important thing for our style of play.
nounthe cope on this transfer
noun: cope; plural noun: copes
a long, loose cloak worn by a priest or bishop on ceremonial occasions.
TECHNICAL•LITERARY
a thing resembling or likened to a cloak.
"the outer shell of clay is called the cope"
Can we stop this Twitter / Reddit shit or whatever it is?
Does he speak English? Imagine it being hard enough for an 18 year old kid moving country and being asked to slot into a massive club and a new & better league straight away, without the added complication of a language barrier
With Martial gone who's going to welcome the man? I guess Amad speaks french, who else? Onana?
Ornstein agrees with Luckhurst, and he seems to be regarded as the most reliable journalist on United news by far. It's just being memory-holed because people like the lower number better. €62m, up to €70m. So, £52m -> £59m.
Onana, Amad, Hannibal.
Hannibal as well who's closer to his age.
The whole Everton thing is a joke, TBF to them not like they have made a statement about it, it is all just journo BS, but depending on what reports you read, we have offered on par or less than was offered for Branthwaite, they decided it was not enough for their valuation of the player, we were not obliged to offer more and went elsewhere, there is an expression "buyer's remorse" I think Everton have "non-seller's remorse" they gambled that we would be the same old Utd who with tunnel vision end up over paying for a player, I hope this is evidence that we as a club have turned a corner and will force other clubs to rethink their perceptions on how we conduct business
As an Englishman and a fan or football in general I hope Branthwaite goes on to have a good season (just not against us) and continues to develop, but in reality I am not convinced that he is ever a £70m player (inflation aside)

cope being a verb has nothing to do with twitter or reddit or whatever
Going to thoroughly miss your posts mate. Hope the absence is refreshing and hope for a swift return.
I'm guessing Hannibal won't stick around for long.
Luckhurst getting community noted on this post, the complete helmet. You love to see it.

Here's the article mentioned in the Community Note: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5626457/2024/07/17/leny-yoro-manchester-united-transfer/
As per David Ornstein:
When Utd signs a player they report the price including add-ons and his next three contracts + agent fees, etc. Every other team just gets the base price reported in the headline.
You used it as a noun. As did the plonker saying copium or whatever it was. But that's nice, it's awful anyway, makes you sound like a youtuber.
Should have linked to Romano and the initial report of the agreed deal from Nabil Djellit. Ornstein also looks to have got the price on this wrong.
Hope you come back bro!
Or, alternatively, Romano and co got it wrong. In any case, there should obviously not be any Community Note at all.
