Amad could end up being seen as a better player than him by the summer.Would improve our right side exponentially

There’s nothing wrong without scouting team, the men at the top just didn’t listen to them.Disappointed if true.
Not because of the player but because we haven't had any new changes yet. Who is making this decision? No new DoF yet, no new scouts...
Hopefully just tabloid nonsense.
WowFeck this. I don't want to see any large-money signings (which this clearly will be) from EPL teams, especially for attackers.
Play Garnacho, Amad, Pellistri, Hojlund. Buy a senior striker who is ok being Hojlund's assistant and only buy somebody expensive if we can sell Rashford for at least 60 mil. Otherwise, use the ones we already have or start selling them for some reasonable money
We are probably going to make zero money off Sancho. I don't believe we can even sell Rashford. Who the feck is going to buy Antony? We don't need another possibly deadwood forward on bug transfer and big salary. We have no money for this bullshit
I think they are going nowhere mostly because nobody will pay much for them, but either way - if we are keeping them we have no money and no space signing any new wingersWow
Rashford going nowhere and neither is Antony.
I’m sure the Antony of Ajax will return, in due course I think the squad will get better, especially since Sir Jim has started work.
All depends if EtH goes or not, still think he’ll come good eventually.
Amad could end up being seen as a better player than him by the summer.
That’s an awful analogy. There’s plenty of indication, he’s a very gifted player.I could end up winning the Euromillions by the summer.
There’s no indication of one such thing happening. Olise has been performing at this level for a while - Amad, as much as I like him - has one/couple sub appearances?
I mean he has been on loan for 2 years and injured for most of the seasonI could end up winning the Euromillions by the summer.

Would go for Olise out of those two. I think Bowen is on fire at the moment, but Olise perhaps has the higher ceiling. May be wrong, of course.Him or Bowen ? Olise is a better dribbler but Bowen is a better goal scorer. Olise is younger too.
I would be happy with either of them.
There is indication he’ll become a better player. His passing and technique is arguably better already, he just has to show it in a utd shirt through the second half of the season. Hence why he could be seen as a better player once he gets that opportunity.There are plenty of talented players that don’t make it? I don’t think I argued against Amad being talented, in fact I said I like him. There’s however no indication that he’ll become a better player than Olise - let alone by the summer. Sure, he could - but I reckon I could also win Euromillions if we’re just saying things that could happen.
I’m aware. How does this change anything in the context of the conversation I’m having?
I'm largely in agreement, though I don't think we need a different look at Antony.I've seen glimpses from him bit I'm just not convinced he has 'it'. He's not overly consistent, even over the course of 90 minutes. Fairly skilful and decent at dribbling and creating, but I wouldn't say he is amazing at either. He's also not full of pace. There is potential though, and I've not seen him play recently so he may have tightened things up in his game a bit.
The RW market is really poor at the moment though and he's preforming to a decent level already in the PL.
I'd like to get a better look at Antony and Amad under a better coach before I decided to buy another RW. As much stick as Antony gets I do think there's something there to work with, but I'd use him a bit differently than Ten Hag.
What has you concerned that Olise may fall into this bracket?What’s his attitude and professionalism like? We don’t need another tool-downer

You do realise Ten Hag wasn't responsible for negotiating the transfer fee and wages for our signings? That responsibility falls with John Murtough (hopefully not for much longer with Ratcliffe coming in).

It’s a bit mental how many posters on here don’t seem to realise this. Sure, ETH wanted them and ultimately signed off on it, but if it’s between overpaying for a player or not getting anyone due to the incompetence at senior management level, then you have to go for it.
ETH isn’t perfect by any means, but this isn’t something he should get slated for.
You’re showcasing a lack of foresight if you think there’s no indication he could become a better player. If he produces the performances for us like he did for Sunderland then people will be raving about him, his reputation will blow up and you’ll be licking it up like the rest of us.I disagree with the premise/all notions involved in this post. Amad hasn’t shown nor produced anything at this level to justify the assertion that there’s an indication he’ll become a better player. This is just United fan/confirmation bias. Again, Olise has actually done stuff at this level, for a while. Amad has maybe a couple sub appearances?! His passing and technique being better is baseless - Amad doesn’t have the catalogue to justify those statements - outside of you potentially preferring him aesthetically.
Didn't he have release clause then how can it be considered tapping up .
At a club like United wages and fees shouldn't matter if the talent ID is spot on because we, alongside Real Madrid, are the best at monetizing football success. Look at the shirt deals we are pulling in despite a decade of decline and underachievement.Well you’re both wrong because it’s Matt Hargreaves is the clubs transfer negotiator (brought in to replace Judge). You both even said it with your CHESTS. As if you had any idea on what the back room staff at United actually do! Not that I know any better but I do know it’s not Murtough doing the negotiation.

The question is whether he can produce it in the PL. His technique was never in doubt but his physicality was, he’s now shown he can do it in a league as physically tough as the champ, I think it’s fair to say it’s more likely than not he will be able to.
Feck this. I don't want to see any large-money signings (which this clearly will be) from EPL teams, especially for attackers.
Play Garnacho, Amad, Pellistri, Hojlund. Buy a cheap senior striker from Europe, who is ok being Hojlund's backup and only buy somebody expensive if we can sell Rashford for at least 60 mil. Otherwise, use the ones we already have or start selling them for some reasonable money
We are probably going to make zero money off Sancho. I don't believe we can even sell Rashford. Who the feck is going to buy Antony? We cannot afford another possibly deadwood forward on big transfer and big salary. We have no money for this bullshit
If he wasn't involved in negotiations then what was Murtough doing flying over to Spain in the summer of 2022 during the De Jong negotiations, and then travelling to Italy during the Rabiot negotiations? Did he just fancy a tan?Well you’re both wrong because it’s Matt Hargreaves is the clubs transfer negotiator (brought in to replace Judge). You both even said it with your CHESTS.

Not never, but yes - we should not do it until we get the house in order and specifically our finances in order. And it isn't a choice, it's called FFP rules, they are mandatorySo basically we should never attemp to make another signing again becuase it hasn't worked out before? Olise is a fine young player and given we'll be lacking options once Sancho leaves on loan, it makes sense to bring another player in to replace him.
I wouldn’t say he’s particularly fast tbh.
He’s quality though, I’d take him AND Eze from Palace and get rid of Bruno.

INEOS has yet to buy their minority stake let alone hire their own people. So I see an either or situation here
a- this is BS either by the media or by those whose job is on the line. They'll probably feel the end is coming and would want to show the world how good they are in the job by suggesting good signings
b--INEOS is already working behind the scenes and some ahole is already leaking their plans
