Does this mean Jim Ratcliffe is available as a potential buyer?
Also they need mobile players. Pogba is not mobile
Gundogan hasn’t been offered a new contract yet and I think he’s heading into his last year. So maybe Pogba would replace him
I would happily take a swap of pogba to city and gundogan to united
I agree that our squad was bloated at the time, so adding more wasn't maybe looking as the brightest idea. Those 3 mentioned probably held discussions with their current clubs well before, so getting them would have had to be a costly gazump, apart from, maybe, Alvarez, who would be coming from SA league straight to Prem, so low chance he'd been the difference between getting top 4 and not.
Hindsight's a bitch, but I don't think a striker in january would've helped, when our defense was absolute shambles.
They were... he was in awful form. His touch was poor and he was missing chances he would have put away 4/5 times normally.
Not bothered if he goes there at all I want us to build a team of committed and talented players not social media stars.
Already said pointless as Glazers won't sell
They will. He hasn't offered.
He told Dan Roan on the BBC a few days back that he'd be willing to submit an offer but can't as the club isn't for sale.
That's the dumbest take.
My car is not for sale. If you offer me £X, I'll consider selling it.
X football player isn't for sale. Call the club and offer £150m. Suddenly, he's for sale.
Then in that case, Ratcliffe really isn't that interested in buying Manchester United.
Disco. Just another billionaire who is a plastic fan. Was famous for saying buying football clubs is a waste of money yet offers up for Chelsea.
There's the dumbest take.
X player is worth £100m but he's not for sale. Call the club and offer 35% more so you can buy said player.
The players value is solely created by the club they are contracted too. There is no market per se.
Now let's look at this through a different lens via Chelsea: no one was being reported to buy Chelsea until Abramovich had to put it up for sale. Suddenly, you got 4 different consortiums putting bids together, 3 different entities declaring their intention without putting up a big, and then Ratcliffe coming in late with a large bid. Where were all of those interested parties before? Were they really not interested in buying Chelsea until Abramovich put it up for sale?
Same with Newcastle United: were the Saudis really not interested in buying them all the way until Ashley put them up for sale? Unless a club's ownership can be acquired via shares, we won't see people putting together bids to purchase a club unless the owner puts it up for sale. In United's case, only a minority of the shares have been sold; the Glazers still hold a majority of them and aren't willing to put them up for sale at this time. No matter what kind of offer Ratcliffe can put up, if the Glazers don't want to sell their shares, then he can't buy them.
Every business has a price and we are a self sustaining commercial juggernaut. Combined with our value, income, brand and the TV money increasing, you could overpay and give them £6bn. They are not turning that down.
Then why did it take so long for billionaires and consortiums to put a price on Chelsea? Why did it take so long for the Saudis to put a price on Newcastle United? How can anyone put a price on United if the majority of the shares aren't available to buy in the stock market?
United are listed so have a market cap. We know the club's valuation. You can then make a decent attempt to understand a selling price.
It's not supposed to be news. It's a pun attempt.
That Tweet doesn't belong in this thread.
Ah got it, it's a Michael Jackson joke
Deleted the tweet and the posts quoting it. Please leave puns for the general footy chat thread.
Honestly didn’t realise it was a pun! I get it now
Nope don't like that, delete it.
You don't have to worry, Madrid could be way behind in terms of negotiations but as long as they're involved they'll get him ahead of Liverpool.
Okay, so we are not in for Tchouameni, though I very much doubt he would want to come here of all places. Rice is firmly out of reach. Philips has categorically denied coming here, because he hates us. And even if he didn't he is hardly what I'd call and exciting signing. So what exactly does this club intend to do about the midfield then?
You will have to wait to find out I’m afraid.
If they get him, another top transfer, will slot right in. They are improving constantly while on top.
It's a bit redundant at this point, but anyway:
Him saying that means negotiations are completed.
He also said that Raiola's health problems delayed the Haaland proceedings, but he expects to have clarity next week, which also fits with the other message, because Haaland's fee will probably pay for Adeyemi's transfer.
And in the same show Mintzlaff reiterated "I've told people five times now, that Nkunku will be playing for us next season"

They aren't on top?
If leeds go down the MUFC pull may be too much
Would be his only route into the England Squad for the WC
After this picture of him I double checked his age again. Yep, he is allegedly 10 years younger than he looks.
