Sign Antony this week. Next week I think we'll have a bit of a go at testing Brighton's resolve for Caicedo.
If it's a loan then I suppose its fine, but signing these crap backup keepers always feel a bit of a waste of time. Hopefully we spend the season scouting for De Gea's replacement.
Why didn't we just buy Pope for £10m? Another ridiculous deal.
A first choice keeper would probably cost upwards of £60m unless the scouting team can unearth an unknown talent, which is extremely unlikely.
Because he’s terrible with his feet.
Probably wouldn't have joined us unless he was going to be 1st choice, and DDG is too high level competition for that to be assured. World Cup year, etc. etc.
He is the best in EPL at claiming crosses.
With his hands.
Personal opinion: I prefer a goalie good with his hands to a goalie good with his feet, given the choice. But obviously we'd want someone good with both.
Still better than De Gea with his feet while being comfortably better at everything else.
A little bit more context from Whitwell:
Dean Henderson is finished here.
More chances of us seeing a UFO today.
I disagree. Pope is really clumsy with his feet. Fantastic at commanding his area and a good shot stopper. I do like him, but I don’t think he’d be anywhere near the ‘perfect’ ETH keeper.
Henderson is not the answer either, we're best selling him next summer.
I think you assume incorrectly. The glazers do not put their own money into the club. Any funds from selling ownership stakes is theirs in their eyes, that money will go to them. Any money spent on the club will be a loan which is then loaded back onto the club.
Hopefully we put the money saved with a loan GK on a new RB.
Ew feck no, he hugs his line even more than de Gea and he’s a midget.
Dubravka would be a bit of an odd one, but a better bet than Heaton in a pinch I reckon.
Losing to Liverpool would have seen us buy another 3 players.
wait what? so we beat Liverpool and the back up keeper budget disappeared, and we cooled our interest on Gakpo, and no more CM?
No loan fee
6m transfer fee if he's a success
Covering part of his wages
Jesus Christ we're a joke
Fans lap it up every time. No surprise.
That bolded statement is disingenuous. Every reliable United journalist has reported that Bailly's wages will be covered in full (Dawson, Luckhurst, Ducker, Stone, and Peach).
Simon Jones is banned. Check the tier list in the OP.
Sorry about this
But 5 more minutes passes, and there are similar twits from other sources already, so it’s likely trueI don't think we were ever in hot pursuit for a central midfielder, especially after we signed Casemiro. On the keeper situation, we were never looking to pay a big transfer fee for a keeper, so that rules out every starting keeper we were linked with, especially since they weren't even for sale.
On Gakpo, the cooling of interest is based on the fact that we aren't actively negotiating for him at this time. We are still definitely interested in Gakpo, but I'm not surprised that United are focused on getting this Antony transfer done ASAP. Gakpo will also be relatively expensive, so I'm not surprised that United are first focusing on negotiations for one expensive transfer before going into the other one.
Not disingenuous. I was just going off what I read. Take it out and it's still a joke. 6m for Eric Bailly after a free loan is a disgraceful bit of business. I'd rather lose the 6m just so I could tell OM to do one.
Which sources are these? I'm only seeing references to Simon Jones or the Daily Mail on Twitter at this time.Sorry about this
That's the state of the European market, even with the big clubs. No team will ever be willing to spend big on a player that has relatively bigger wages with their current club. Even a team like Juventus, with all of their Agnelli money, is unwilling to pay much to bring in players like Paredes and Milik (who they only started pursuing because Memphis's wages were too high for them). Notice how much both Arsenal and Chelsea are also struggling to offload their unwanted players (see Pépé and Batshuayi).
Tier 2:
Bailly has been repeatedly complaining about game time and we need to get rid of disruptive influences. I sympathise with him because our cbs have been rubbish but at some point it’s best to just move on.
We’ll save 4-5m in wages and get another 5m hopefully at the end of the season instead of having another player moaning at the club.
Just sign Keylor Navas ffs.
Yeah I don't think it's that bad of a deal all things considered.
Think about how things went with Rojo. No-one showed any interest, then deadline day came and we'd get a really shit loan offer, which we'd turn down and end up keeping him but not playing him. This easily could keep happening with Bailley. What we've got for Bailley is infinitely better than what we're getting for Jones.
