Are we just waiting to announce Antony and Dubravka, to make it more exciting tomorrow haha
If he hadn’t been a United player, would anyone have been suggesting we buy him from Forest, even after a reasonably good season in the Championship?Why does everyone want to buy back Garner? Seriously, we need to learn to not put emphasis on the fact the player is from academy - what matters is how he plays.
True,There was similar sentiment when Angel Gomes left. And where is he now?
There is no guarantee Garner will make it at the highest level - and any other level is of no relevance for us
True,
sorry, I meant to mean it as Angel.I do remember Bruno saying at the end of last season he was most excited to play with Garner out of the younger lads. It seems a shame we never even got to see him play some league cup to Europa league games and try to stake a claim.
How do you know first hand?
He is a starting player for Lille in Ligue 1. Doing quite well tbh.There was similar sentiment when Angel Gomes left. And where is he now
No one is complaining about him being sold. Or rather most aren't. They're complaining about the fee and the lack of a buyback clause in case he kicks on.There was similar sentiment when Angel Gomes left. And where is he now?

By the time he kicks on, there will be younger talents around.No one is complaining about him being sold. Or rather most aren't. They're complaining about the fee and the lack of a buyback clause in case he kicks on.
You can never assume anything about how good a player can become. There are lots of examples of players becoming world class out of the blue after a few years of just being okay to good.By the time he kicks on, there will be younger talents around.
Currently, he is unable to get on the bench ahead of VDB and Fred. If he kicks on, he might potentially be able to (get on this bench) - but would it be good enough? No. It is simply not worth it hoping for a miracle.
Antony is a player of similar age - he kicked on and is playing for Brazil, that’s the level of players we need.
I agree with you that 4 times is a bit much. But I remember being impressed with Gibbs-White a few years ago when he got first got minutes in the prem. I think he's a very good player, but yeah he doesn't seem all that much better than Garner.Was a key component of a championship team who got promoted and starts for England U21s. What has Gibbs White done to be worth 4 times more? Or Williams to be twice as much? Or Ibe. Or all the Chelsea lads who get sold after 1 Championship season.
So what, we should just keep every player until they kick on ? Garner is 21. If you’re not in the rotation in the team at this stage you won’t probably make it here. A very few players can and should make it at United. That’s the way it is.You can never assume anything about how good a player can become.

But I guess you know better than the clubs who put buyback clauses in when selling similar talent players.
Agreed. We just got rid of Lingard. We DO NOT need another 28 year old teenager waiting to reach his peak.So what, we should just keep every player until they kick on ? Garner is 21.

It’s better to get some money then to let him go on loan or on the bench just to see him go on free. I just think people speaks out of sentimentality because he is from the academy. But at the end very few will make it.

120m budget while we have like 8 players left on a free with glaring holes doesn't sound like a lot really. But then again its the GlazersFinally, Whitwell reveals the original budget:
Isn’t it the reason for delay with Antony transfer registration?120m budget while we have like 8 players left on a free with glaring holes doesn't sound like a lot really. But then again its the Glazers

Finally it’s officially registered.
Announced very early in the day…
…more to come?
But, using ETH words, there could be further “adaptations” to the budget perhaps…After it came out we have spent way over the original budget, I’d say there would be a 1% chance of anything happening today.
Finally it’s officially registered.
We're clearly done with signings but I hope to see 2-3 more loans/sells announced today.Announced very early in the day…

I prefer this one from the man himself.
Hang on, only "one" of the biggest in the world?
Needs to get his PR right
