What the hell has Paqueta ever done to be worth such a fee? I mean Pep will somehow make him look like a world beater surely, but he’s been bang average whenever I’ve watched him. Insane money, even for City standards.

Agreed - I mean clearly the guy is talented, but I just dont see why City are so desperate to sign him after the season he had. Surely there are just as talented players out there for £25 million less.
 
Please keep Liverpool and City out of here it’s the best tweets thread on the forum don’t ruin it .

West Ham paid a lot for him recently and has looked a very good technical player in France and England that is probably a premium now plus Premier League money.
 


I don't understand the market anymore. At this rate McT is worth 60m.


I had some poster arguing with me when I said we should be expected a minimum of 40 million for McTominay given his age and profile. He was saying 15 million was his level
 
Judging by the transfer activities in the last 24-48 hours, I am happy that United managed to complete (most) of the transfers-ins the way and the rate that they did it. Still, I am hoping for a surprise or two before the end of the window. :devil:
 
So we won’t let him go yet because we need to have discussions with players and pick our favourite. Who works like this?

Stop discussing non Utd players /tweets on here

I think most teams try to have their replacement in place before finalising a sale if they can do, so they don't get taken to the cleaners afterwards

I guess the deal is done and sorted, but United are waiting for some answers themself before letting him go. They don't want to be left with three center backs. I guess.
 
Tier 2:


United are consulting various key stakeholders, including members of the Women's team. All of the info will be passed over to Richard Arnold, who'll make the final decision.
 
I actually like the way prices are skyrocketing for every Tom, Dick and Harry. It's going to severely punish clubs without good scouting systems in place and clubs who always want the ready made product and don't want to do the development work. It will also help to redistribute wealth and funds to smaller clubs and leagues for better than any official programme will ever be able to do.
Tom and Dick. Harry is still 30m.

I somewhat agree with your point though, but I wish the best were at 50m instead of 100.

What were they doing over the last many months if they still need to consult various stakeholders?
 
Cretins with no backbones doing that "investigation"

I guess they wanted to have all of the facts before consulting with stakeholders but briefing that part of that consultation will be with the women's players, 3 of whom are currently preparing for a World Cup quarter final tomorrow, and putting some responsibility on them (knowing that if they're understandably not happy with him returning that they will get a load of shit from dickheads on social media) isn't really on.

Was clear that they intended to do a statement at some point this weekend about him returning, hoped that it would be drowned out by the rest of the goings on in the Premier League (they even put out a puff piece in The Times) but have got cold feet after today's statement and planned protests by supporters.

There will always be protests. Someone is always unhappy, there is no need to appease everyone. Just make a decision and be done with it.

  • Ten Hag's call to Todibo convinced the player to pick United over other suitors.
  • The deal may happen in the last 2 weeks of the window.
  • Price: no less than €40m
    • Allows Nice to bring in a new left back & midfielder

The stats virgins say he is a more complete player than what he has shown in Moyes system

They are hanging Arnold and the women’s players out to dry.

Both will get masses of abuse either way now.

Predictable. This was never going to be as easy as the club seemed to think it would be.

They didn't just realize this now...media are trying to stir shit up right before the season starts.

Again, squad turnover is going to be a gradual process where time and patience it required but always ignored.

This is unfair on everyone. If you are not ready for the shitstorm, let him go.

This is all just PR. Making the world very aware that we have consulted the women's team. Really they should have been spoken to months ago as part of the investigation.
