I thought we were getting Gakpo after Rangers knock out PSV?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
Shraeger said we're talking to his agent and Matteo Moretto said we're interested. Talk sport are the ones who came out with the fee.
Talk sport have been quite reliable for us for a while now.
Thought we are to go back in for Antony before window closes.
Are we signing another cnut?
Cnut FC is better than Lazy FC.
You'd have to assume the club would at least be comeptent enough to check that the player does indeed have legs.
Straight swap for Rashford & Ronaldo
This is a prime example of what we do wrong compared to other serious clubs. You either pay the release clause and get it done instantly or you don’t even go near it. You don’t try and negotiate it’s never going to happen.
Think it’s more distraction leaks.
It seems already abandoned, after Arnautovic, Tamudo, Morata, Vardy, Icardi and other 7500 names, it’s the Dembele turn
The hope is Sancho/Rashford will get a lot more ball in good areas I guess. If Bruno sorts his form out/gets dropped for Eriksen and we have a mobile/pressing striker up front it will help us no end.
Administrative issues aside Ten Hag has a fair number of principles and one of them is that if a player hasn't participated in the last training session before a match (which is match specific) he won't be in the starting line-up.You seriously would start a brand new signing a few days after they have signed against Liverpool?
Good grief
Never mind if they're players that need to get used to the system. Already got plenty of those ...
This died quickly
As long as he's not 25 I'm in.
there are prob 7-8 clubs plus now more attractive I’d say if we offered them the same money. 3-4 in the PL and the others across Europe. Made even worse by the fact we can’t offer the same money as we have much smaller clubs with much richer owners willing to spend more then us now each summer. Wolves Can throw big money for a player, I think West Ham and arsenal may have outspent us…then we can’t even box clever…I’m becoming pretty worried about where we will be as a club in 5/10 years time. My assumption of us getting back could well be massively in my head.
I don't believe this one at all.
They must have read our transfer forum and read the opinions of the Caftards.
Then decided to pull out.
This naive.
Being linked to fecking everyone but not signing anyone. The United Way
Murtough is still trying to find his way out of his office after monthsWhat targets are we actually pursuing
Targets ? So we have concrete targets for attacking lineup... what kind of fraud sorcery is this.
He's the first attacking link I've actually thought 'yeah, could see that being a good signing', regardless of his goalscoring. Admittedly this is based on the stats etc posted which show he's a hard worker but also fast and has good ability on the ball. I was always a big fan of Firmino at Hoffenheim, and could have seen this being a similar signing. I would hope we have something better lined up if we pass on this, as opposed to another Arnautovic/Kalajdzic.
Personally I think Gakpo looks like the other side of the coin. Scores goals but not physically great or technically very strong. I'd prefer Cunha (based on the little I know). I just can't see Gakpo translating well, unless he becomes a CF.

Looks like Talksport jumped the gun on this.
Tbf, if Atletico are demanding more than 50 million EUR we should just leave him alone.
This is exactly why we should've concluded our business months ago. This club is run by fecking idiots, and tbf we deserve to end up like Portsmouth, Blackburn etc.

Shame. He seems more exciting than our other targets.
Early in the window would have made no difference whatsoever
He signed with them a year ago & has 4 years left on his contract.
€50M is reasonable - maybe slightly too expensive but reasonable for the length of contract
Maybe he's still trapped in that fluorescent shipping container with the rest of the team from the new 3rd kit launch
Maybe the timing does not make that much of a difference in regards to exactly this transfer. But you don't think every single club are demanding an extra premium given the timing (not much time to find replacements) and our desperation coming off two embarrassing losses?
No it isn't. They signed him for half of that last year. He's done nothing to justify doubling his price.
We demand £120M for Rashford despite only having a year left. Probably double what I’d expect he’s worth.
talkSHITE way off the mark.
This is the exact shit that happened last monday after the Brighton loss..
We made a bid for Aurnautovic, Rabiot bid accepted.. Gakpo incoming, that DM from Betis imminently signing..
Just PR to deflect from the shambolic performance..
now its Cunha, Vardy , RDT .. Ronaldo news..
I don't buy any of it.. of course we will sign some players before the window shuts.. but these reports streaming in after a loss are just bs.

1+1.. he wont leave on a free next summer.
Feel like they did the same thing with Anthony earlier in the window? Maybe that was Custis.
