I find it hard to believe we were really in the running for him. We need at least 2 centre backs, at least 2 midfielders, a striker and a left back before a RW.
Michael Olise | Joins Bayern

Nico Williams is on €200k/week at Bilbao, so £169k/week.
I don’t know about that one. Does he even know how to drive a tractor?
Yeah, but between Mudryk/Sterling and Madueke, I’m more confident in Madueke giving me consistent production than the other two. We would need to find a new home for Sterling in this scenario. I’m joking anyway. I don’t think he’s a player Chelsea are after.
Never seen him say that. I thought we had a nice budget
Same, may be the lure of playing in CL is stronger than staying in London.
To the Desire Doue thread...
He’s a French speaker, and Bayern have quite a few of those, no?
Am I missing the joke? Olise is French, isn‘t he?
Really good signing for them. I can see him doing really well there if he settles.
Born and raised in London if I'm not mistaken
Not good news for Sane though. Had a mixed season himself (amazing first half but injury effected second) but you can't say he's really shown world class quality over large spells of his time there.
„Chelse decided to pull out of the race.“ 
I love a good PR briefing.

I highly doubt if Utd have made any attempt to sign him. Did Utd even submit a bid to Palace and talk to the player?
Not bothered by this since I think he's incredibly overrated.
Dunno, I didn’t know he spoke French
It would appear so
Don’t know much about him. What is he like? Why is he not in the French squad?

PR warfare is part of the game. You know if he chose Chelsea the Bayern PR machine would be putting out hit pieces about his wage demands
At least it’s not Chelsea
His coach speaks his mother tongue and they have other Frenchmen too so that + the PL players Tuchel brought should make the jump much easier for him
A wide forward was never on the cards
Need a striker, midfielder and at least 2 defenders
Antony is going nowhere

We could only try and sign him once we sold Sancho/Greenwood
Left footed right winger. Good, is what he is. Only issues are injuries. No idea why he’s not in the French squad, but Deschamps is a creature of habit when it comes to player selection it seems.
We need a RW before everyone of those bar maybe a midfielder. Between Antony, Diallo and Garnacho you don't have nearly enough to compete against the top teams. You could sign prime Van Djik and Ferdinand as the two CBs and the team would still be shit because you have those on the right and Rashford on the left creating nothing.
Sancho/Greenwood could be leaving though so we will need another wide forward. I agree the other 3 positions are more important though.
A french player chosing Bayern? Is that actually surprising?
This reminds me of Raphina a year or two back. Good tehnical player, but in tis case costly too Amad, Garnacho, Lacey to come who can all play there. For the ost Im actually glad we missed out on him.
Think we can get players as talented, more versatile for similar costs,in fat far cheaper transfer fee wise....Also peopleseem to feel we desperately need a rw....Rashford has been garbage for agesbar the 4month spell, not so sure its actually a lW we need and personally I would rather a Williams, Eze, Doue over Olise not thatI dont rate him

No. It’s been reported he was interested in joining but RW just isn’t a priority compared to CB and DM for us right now, especially at that price.
He would have had to be fully willing to wait and hope we miss out on some players or make a bunch of sales, and I assume he was instead happy to take Bayerns offer after they triggered the clause.
Raphinha treated the ball like a hand grenade. He was never that good.
I think Olise is a big miss, but at the same time I rate Amad very highly and think he can get to similar levels with consistent game time.
Rejecting Chelsea twice does put a smile on my face
They could be yeah. But even after that there’s still Amad, Garnacho, Rashford and Antony. That’s two per position. Then Bruno, Mount can play out there too. It was never going to be a position we addressed this summer
So… can I interest you in buying a winger or two? Byern have about 2 or 3 available. They are all on very high wages but some of them are not always injured.
Xavi Simons is going to Bayern? And Palhinha too?
Wish we had the attractive project to sign them
I don't ever want to hear "he's a United fan" again.
We're talking about professionals, who they supported as a kid is the very last thing that might sway their choice but in reality means absolutely feck all.

Papin, Liza, Sagnol, Ribery, Coman, Hernandez, Upamecano, Tel… etc. It is a tradition!
And he'd spend most of the season injured if he came here anyway. Besides, an RW isn't a pressing issue, although it is an issue.
United didn’t even try to sign him
Good player but not a position we need to strengthen
Disagree between Diallo, Garnacho and Anthony there's not enough goals / assists between them.
None realistically are first team level quality for a team that's expected to at the very least finish top four, United need a more prolific forward.
It will be the same story as next season, no service into Hojlund who had to work off scraps and the team will continue to have a goal deficit.
If United don't sign any wide forwards this season the team will have a poor goal difference again, it's an absolute guarantee.
What are you posting this crap for?
