The only one I trust for fees is Ornstein and he has been quiet on this, no? I will wait and see.
I haven't seen anyone say that who is as reliable as the Athletic podcast guys. If Ornstein says we don't need to sell to buy then I'll take it.
It's what they said. Makes sense if they want to keep the wage bill down too. We have too many players on the payroll, including ones who never actually play like Shaw.
I don't think anyone that's actually watched Wharton and rates him gives a feck about him being English. He's rated highly because players that excel in what he does well at that age are extremely difficult to find. Athletic, physical midfielders with excellent passing and IQ are gems that need to be snapped up quickly.
I got your point, it was simple and basic and my response was obvious but I will repeat it, many players are signed for huge fees simply because of the their potential or current ability, it's normal to say that a player is worth the fee at the time of the transfer, such player might then become a resounding success (e.g. CR7 to Madrid) or a huge flop (e.g. Coutinho to Barca) or anything in between, those opinions at the time are based many factors mostly potential, current ability and demand.
Just in this summer window, I think Yoro is worth the total €70M the club stumped for him, or Sancho when he was signed, many people looked at this performances with BvB and thought he can do it here, on the other hand we all thought Antony was not worth the €95m, he could've been a success and we might have thought well he was worth it retrospectively because he did well.
For Ugarte, obviously we are going by what's reported and we will see how it goes when the deal is concluded, but if the reports are to be believed (PSG demanding €70M or €60M and us accepting a deal worth that much) then I think it's an overpayment, some posters think that way and others don't and that's ok.
Anyway nothing is confirmed now so our discussion might be moot.
5 game ban if he does that playing for us..
Didn't the Athletic say we had £50million to spend this summer bar player sales?
Will he be the bastard in the team?
Must admit I never heard of him
Must admit I never heard of him
So did Orstein actually say we need to sell to buy?
Bring me some “Garra Charrúa” to Manchester United. We missed that spirit for so long.
Obviously not no.
That's some serious edging.
Hope he can make toast.
I reckon you need to chill mate. United need to make this signing this summer. The better value can come in subsequent windows
With every post you make you keep reducing his market value. What’s your reasoning or calculation for coming up with these imaginary “market value” numbers?
Can't wait for the Martinez / Urgate shithousery with a splash of Bruno on the side for good measure.
Closer than eva!!!
Ugarte is breathing down my neck it's that close
Fabrizio Romano is quite good - and he's been fairly quiet too
Touching cloth close?
I thought it wasn't a state bid though. Jassim Jabronis kept on telling us it wasn't
Duncan Castles
I wouldn’t believe that albino cream egg if he told me we were signing Zirkzee this summer, and I watched him score the winner last Friday.
Castles has wrote negative stuff about us ever since Mourinho was sacked, admittedly doesn't feel quite so close as Romano gave the impression earlier
Sounds like bollocks.
Castles does have links to Mendes. Who happens to be involved in this deal I believe...
No single player will transform Manchester United. Again, this is not the super man films. Ugarte is a quality player with specific skills which will be added to the central midfield. United need to bring more quality in, it is constant work. It seems a lot of people can't process this simple logic.
I'm not really seeing what some are getting making the same relentlessly negative posts over and over again. Surely it's not making them feel any better?
Some are clearly trolls and others act as if they are footing the bill for the transfers and their wages. FM has truly ruined reality for some people.
This weekend will be a here we go weekend. This is happening.
Whats wrong with you two? That’s quite clearly not the point I was making
I’m saying Athletic are the most reliable ones I’ve seen comment on it either way
Stop dishing out your frustration. I was just sharing what I heard
I never actually thought about that once in this deal, the whole Qatar v INEOS takeover rivalry.
Interesting that this deal no longer seems dependent on finding a buyer for McTominay. If true, then it is just possible that if (perhaps a big "if") we can find buyers for Eriksen and McTominay, it might just facilitate an additional incoming player. My preference would be for another midfielder, but I could see the argument for LB/#9.
I think you’re the one frustrated mate. I just asked a question.
Sounds a bit believable, actually. Would explain why PSG have been so bullish. Castles is normally a spoofer but on Mendes clients he does have a scoop some times.
Punching above their weight there the same way they were when they tried it with Real
Yeaaah I call bullshit on that.
