Not to an Italian side. It’ll be 2 balloons and a goldfish upfront with the rest in instalments over 2 centuries and incentives added on like you only get 10 million of it if he wins the champions league, world cup and flies to mars in a space shuttle in the same season.

On a serious note I Wouldn’t actually be averse to selling him to recruit a younger more ball retentive no10 because he’s not going to be worth anywhere near that in 3 years time and I dont see us being competitive until about 3 years time so we should look for someone who will be onboard longer than him now

Does the loan fee come off the transfer fee in the ‘option to buy’ clause does anyone know?

If we already paid £9.5m loan fee would it not be an option to sign him as a body in midfield so we can sell Mctomishite and Casemiro?

I thought I read that Southgate had ruled himself out.

All Southgate said is that he's not going to let the speculation about his future distract and that his full focus is on the Euros at this time. He didn't conclusively rule himself out of this job.
 
Hiring Southgate would immediately undo all the good work they've done thus far. It puts them on the back foot and opens them up to accusations of being complete fecking morons when he's inevitably a disaster.

In what world is Amrabat preferable to McTominay? They’re both shit, but Amrabat offers absolutely nothing. McTom, limited as he is, at least offers a goal threat from the bench.
 
All these random Man United twitter accounts seem very sure of themselves, like they do about absolutely every rumour they come up with, all with absolutely no sources, as per usual.. I’m not buying any of it tbh

I doubt we could afford Yoro and we certainly wouldn't be his 1st choice

Goes into the last year of his deal in the summer and if the bidding war many expected doesn't come, he may be available for less. Although Real Madrid might convince him to wait and get him on a free in 2025.

I've been very impressed by McKenna's work at Ipswich but I don't really see the logic in going for him before he's had experience in the PL. He'll have the chance with Ipswich next season and we can judge how he handles that step up. Don't see the point in rushing it with him.

Because we dont need a no.10 or a spare one and we dont need a striker and we will sign another striker this summer. Why do you need a shit nothing midfielder to ‘provide goalthreat off the bench’? All that will happen is you’ll end up playing him as a 6 again and he’ll be going missing up field again. If you read my post properly, i’m simply pondering the economics around who should be our 4th or ideally 5th choice central midfielder next year

If as expected Ipswich are relegated what does it prove? They have 8 starters who were starters in league 1, it neither proves or disproves he is ready if they are relegated, I mean if by some miracle he keeps them up that doesn't prove anything either other stable PL managers have failed here too

It'll give him experience managing at a much higher level. He'll have a better idea of the quality of players he'd be facing in the PL. That's a massive difference from managing in the Championship. Kompany looked like a fantastic manager in the Championship and he spent £100m on that Burnley squad, which should have been enough to give them a genuine chance at staying up. Despite this, that never looked realistic and they went right back down. Getting the reality check of how much better players and teams at PL level are will have helped him in his future managerial career. He'll know if he gets them promoted again, he can't simply set up his team to play the same main tactic that dominated the Championship.

I'd argue the same thing you don't know and £100 million is nothing in 2024 its about par spend for a PL side, I'd say Ipswich need to spend even more or be really clever as they need at least 8 players 100 million is about 11.5 mill average thats not gonna get you very much in terms of talent to stay in the league

in the same vain as Mckenna and Kimpany who knew Arteta would do well or Xabi Alonso who had far less experience but landed in better spots than Burnley or Ipswich, fact is any promoted team have an 80 to 90% chance of going back down.

£100m is definitely not nothing. Only Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Utd, Bournemouth and Liverpool had a higher net spend in the summer (in that order). Luton and Sheffield by comparison spent barely anything.

Like I said Ipswich need 8 players imo, so if they spend 100 million that's 11.5 average per player can you see them getting enough quality in thay budget to stay up?, also Luton are sensible they are going use PL money to do their new stadium and Sheff United knew they would be going back down too.

It's not about spend it's about how many players you need and the quality of said players, look at Forest spent a fortune only just scraping up 2 seasons in a row now could easily have gone down

Yoro, Tosin, Brathwaite, Neves, someone who has major potential at LB and a backup striker fixes the spine issues whoever leaves. Then it’ll be an issue of who or what out of that fails and tweak as we go. From there on we basically develop a forward line that can press score and create far more for each other.

I see where you coming from, if we already paid almost 10M in loan fees for Sofyan, then maybe signing him permanently for another 5-10M is not the worst thing if the intention is to keep as a 4th choice CM/DM, Mctominay will certainly fetch 25M at minimum if not more and selling him will help add to the coffers.

Its a weird one where i dont see him fitting into our team because we have bruno and mount and should have 2 strikers so we know he doesn't work in deeper midfield anymore. Could see him playing an advanced midfield role somewhere else but if we let amrabat go the 9.5m loan fee is gone and then you are either stuck with mctominay or selling him and then having limited funds to get a body in for reserve midfielder. I thought amrabats option to buy was at 21.4m so if we already paid a reported 9.5m loan fee and it does come off that we can complete the signing for 12m and then sell mctominay
