whoever is in charge of our academy signings has done a hell of a job this summer. Shame the "big" club can't keep up, but at least our youth teams are going to be stacked. Better than nothing I guess, and hopefully we'll reap the rewards in a few years.

We've finally got him. Glad that saga is over! Welcome, er... Willy.
Remember, Welbeck was 16m 6 years ago market.
So what most cases are you talking about? I just showed you 4 different cases already so it's not coincidence homegrown players cost that much, that's the reality!
Another example of us paying up in the end
Was always going to be the case after the VdB signing. Always thought that spunking quite an amount of money on him was a clear sign that we won't go for anyone else.
In which case, what a fecking stupid signing
Agree, hope we get that Russian kid as well
Exactly as I thought. Cavani's agent trying to push the story. It's not us who were forcing the Cavani and Jovic news.
Sancho is obviously pushing for a move.
Seen a tweet from Guardian and Telegraph that we may look to take Thomas Partey due to his release clause being £45m; if Rice definitely isnt happening, which id take tbh
hilarious Everything that is wrong with United in 1 tweet.
Offered around Europe nobody will touch him.....Woody ‘hold my beer’
But but, it isnt locked yet, right??
Not sure if the 17m include the 3m loan fee Roma already paid for last season
I'd like to see how much the club's paid Smalling in wages vs how much we've actually increased the price by rejecting their offers since July.
A genuinely embarrassing state of affairs. I’m no transfer junkie but the manager deserved and needed backing this summer. Instead he’s been given a good player but not one that strengthens the first 11, none of the team’s deficiencies have been addressed, and now linked to a has been on a free transfer. Peak Manchester United under Ed Woodward. Forever the drunken idiot stumbling about the club at 2am looking for anyone to take home.
All of those players bar Solanke, who didnt moved for 25M, where promising players at one point. All of them where valued around or above 20M at some point.
James was an unknown player who failed to make it here, he wasnt worth 25m a year ago and yet some how after failing here his price is going to increase? That doesnt make sense at all.
Anf putting 4 examples which are 6 years appart is not strong evidence, for those 4 examples there are dozens of players who move for normal fees, the exception doesn't make the rule.
A huge upgrade to Igahlo but often injured and will be on huge wages.
Won’t Accept fc!
Would honesytly be very surprised if we sign Cavani. Unless he accepts like 200k/week or less on a short term contract, we’ve learned nothing from Sanchez.
United have spent money on being classy this year, with several positive decisions(keeping staff, donating to several good causes around the world etc.).
I wonder if the Glazers etc are simply building for a longer term this season, and as always after a CL qualifying season, gamble that we’ll remain competitive...
Wonder if they’ll ever make the investment pushing for a PL win, or if that is just a pipedream for the foreseeable future...

Whilst I’m not saying Woodward is doing a good job I do have some sympathy. The prices quoted are looking way over the odds for what we’d get. Clubs use the anger of the United fan base to screw us into paying more and they know if we don’t pay up there’ll be even more anger towards him. There’s no way he can get out of a transfer window looking good.
Jog on
Brings me a bit of joy amongst our shitty predicament
Arsenal fans will be gutted. They should have got this deal done he’s a bargain at €50m.
Yeah, I'm quite pleased they aren't getting him. Would have been a brilliant signing.
I like Donny but I think I would have preferred Aouar.
Honestly i for one welcome this change of business practices we're implementing now.
No more overpaying for both the fee and wages, no more being held to ransom.

Depending on the amount for Dembele I would take a punt on him. 40m isn't a bad price if its to be believed.
It's pretty much knocking on the grocery's shop door at 19:59 when it closes at 20:00.
Another signing!
3,5 milion if we win CL 4 times in a row.
Pellistri any good ?
He is a kid from Uruguay, dont think we will see him in the first team for a while.
Well ... at least my favourite club looks a lot like me:

Cue a load of united fans over hyping his ability and throwing a load of pressure on this kid's shoulders to become a revelation straight away and save our season
No more buying any players then.
