Thanks to @Rolaholic in the Kim Min-jae thread (Tier 3):
Would be such a good squad signing too but certainly not at €80m. Not even anywhere near €80m. That's just batshit mad.
Yeah, when I saw we were interested and he had 1yr left I was expecting £25-30m. €80m is £68m which is nuts.
Our transfer activity/non activity is taking on a depressingly familiar tone.
I know, but Liverpool are way ahead of us again and others have their targets in their sights. It just seems we are trundling along at the same pace as the last few years again. I also think very few people are going to commit to us whilst our owners keep acting like whores in a shop window.
It’s barely begun, window isn’t even officially open yet

How many times have we seen this before? How many times have we heard "we shouldn't be panicking right now?"I get what you feel, but it’s just to soon to panic now. Also, it’s not like anyone is ahead just because they signed a player.
We can all panic together later if it comes to that
Oh wow, an amazingly original post. As if inability to do some early business is something new for the club.

It isn’t a race but at the same time it would be ideal to have our signings in for start of preseason . So 4 weeks to sort the squad out.I didn’t realise it was a race
Yeah good luck with thatIt isn’t a race but at the same time it would be ideal to have our signings in for start of preseason . So 4 weeks to sort the squad out.
Which was my original point - we WILL be scratching around in a mess in August and overpaying for what the club thinks is a headline signing, but is in reality a panic signing because the owners think we should be looking like we are competing. It is a depressingly familiar routine.I think the point is give it time. No amount of whinging and whining will change the course of this transfer window. If in August we are scratching around and looking a mess I'll be moaning with you. As it stands it's early doors see how it plays out.
Oh dont get me wrong, Utd negotiators can take all the time in the world. Thats what they do. It has been a theme for last 4 years so i don't see why this time would be any different.I think the point is give it time.

Wouldn't be surprised if we drop the deal now, do feck all whole summer and end up paying 90m to Chelsea come August.This Masan Mount transfer will drag on Chelsea will try their best to feck us.
Hopefully we got others in and don’t wait for wrapping up Mount or Kane

Your have been burned at the stake for saying that 10 yes ago....We might as well shut the club down anyway - City will now win the quadruple every season for the next 10 years and so will Liverpool and Newcastle.... we're fecked
Don't Chelsea need to sell players by the end of June for FFP reasons? We're probably planning on waiting til the end of June as there's no point wrapping it up any earlier than that, and Chelsea won't drop their price until they have to.This Masan Mount transfer will drag on Chelsea will try their best to feck us.

The manager literally doesn't know the true extent of his transfer budget, he'll have one for if we're taken over and one if we're not. We now have to prioritise who we sign first and keep the other players sweet and guarantee them somehow, we will be sold and they can be signed.The age old transfer window debate has begun in fine form I see. “It’s still early, doesn’t matter what other teams do, we have loads of time, etc” versus the so called negative lot who basically just go on past and more likely continued experience regarding our ineptitude every summer.

So fecking predictable. It's the same every year.The age old transfer window debate has begun in fine form I see. “It’s still early, doesn’t matter what other teams do, we have loads of time, etc” versus the so called negative lot who basically just go on past and more likely continued experience regarding our ineptitude every summer.
Take a chill pillWe might as well shut the club down anyway - City will now win the quadruple every season for the next 10 years and so will Liverpool and Newcastle.... we're fecked
Its obvious which camp you're in.Of course and it’s far from an ideal situation for EtH but there is always some obstacle for United to overcome whether it’s a potential sale this year or just our general lack of ability in the window in others. Let’s hope we have some news on sale soon then as I could see it going on for some weeks yet and pre season will be here before we know it.
Agree.We might as well shut the club down anyway - City will now win the quadruple every season for the next 10 years and so will Liverpool and Newcastle.... we're fecked
have a special superden badge for the mention of the the ' walk away'.Anything excess of £40m for Mount and we should walk away.
