Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2023/24

Are these players just really crap, why can’t we get better fees, not big of course but at least a million or two, surely they are not on high wages either.

Both had 12 month contracts left . You’re not getting much more than that.

We’re selling a talented but very injury prone young player who needs regular football if he is to prove himself. Only a year left on his contract. I think the club have priced him to get a club and inserted a sell on clause. Decent business

That's pretty good thing with United isn't it We might be bit unrealistic when it comes to Senior players transfers prices , but we usually are fairly accommodative to do right by our youngsters .

Yeah we’ve done that as long as i remember. It’s a practice I fully get behind. At least this way we can give them a good start to their career. Glad to see we have started to insert sell on clauses though

Fair enough and yes the sell on clauses are good on both deals so far, just feel maybe we overhype them a bit as fans so I expect some decent money when they eventually don’t make the grade here.

That’s the problem we do overhype our own young players. But the truth is that very few make it at this level and some go on to lower league careers etc. there is a huge gulf between PL and reserve levels

 

[Robertd0803]

Offer coming in a few days and then they decide. Glazers may melt faster.

Chances are, the majority of young lads we sell will never be heard of again, as they'll end up in the lower leagues. But we expect them to be sold for Premier league prices, because Liverpool once sold some nobody for £20m so apparently that's the norm

The difference between their players and ours is that their players get a good number of first-team minutes with Liverpool whilst ours rarely do (mostly out on loan). Both Laird and Zidane Iqbal probably could've had more minutes with United had we not been so desperate for trophies (on top of Laird's injury problems), but what's done is done now.

FFS. What is there to talk about? Let the guy go. Its time to move the hell on. This is not Van Der Sar or Schmeichel.

I believe we already have it's mere lip service at this point purpose of which is kind of beyond me .

Will be good to have De Gea still at the club when Onana will be an obvious flop.

If his wages are indeed <200K, it is not a bad idea to keep him for a year or till Jan , assuming he is okay as a backup.

 

[gajender]

That would be really stupid and if we were actually offering anything close to 200k then De Gea would have already signed it thankfully we didn't .

£200k for a second choice keeper? And what do you think the new 1st choice is going to ask for if the second is on £200k

Does not matter because De gea will be on 1 year contract at max. When Henderson was made starting GK and De gea , everyone expected Hendo to be first choice but De gea became first choice soon enough because Hendo did not turned out to be a great GK.
Onana might be good, but if not we wont get a better backup GK than De gea

 

[Devil You Know]

I'm surprised that Edurne would ever consider marrying an unemployed man.

 

[T00lsh3d]

I'm surprised that Edurne would ever consider marrying an unemployed man.

If that unemployed man had been earning £375k a week for the last 5 years I’d marry the bastard

Should also allow him to get more wages for himself in the contract. Classy by the club.

 

[NLunited]

I think he can manage to take a sabbatical or ten after being paid 375k a week for four years

 

[roseguy64]

We're clearly wanting to re-sign De Gea now as insurance. If he wants to leave in January having been unable to oust Onana/being unsatisfied then I'm sure we'd let him go cheap.

He's our current first option as a no2 goalie.

For 200k? 150k? No way.

Our bench players Sancho and Mount will probably be on higher wages.

Mount isn't a bench player.

Mount no bench player, he‘ll start in place of Eriksen. 2nd GK are different, they don‘t get much playing time.

Which was probably bad judgement from the buying club.

Yeah I like the way United look out for their young players, it’s the right thing to do in my opinion

 

[Crimson King]

It was terrible judgement. I think the player you're referring to was Jordan Ibe, who'd been highly rated at Liverpool and played a few games for the first team. Bournemouth signed him for about £15m and probably thought they'd played a blinder. Ibe has just been released by a Turkish team and is training with a non-league side at the moment, apparently.

You'd have thought Bournemouth had learned their lesson, but a few years later they signed Solanke for £20m from Liverpool. In fairness to Solanke, he's been a decent signing for them and scored a lot of goals in the Championship to help them get promoted. That seems to be his level though, but I guess you could argue that helping them get promoted means he earned that fee back for them in the end.

 

[Crimson King]

For 200k? 150k? No way.

150k probably isn't far off what Romero was on as #2, so it's not that unusual.

That's unfair. De Gea has been brilliant for United, I would class him as one of our best ever. There was a period where he literally saved United from being thumped week in week out . He deserves respect in my opinion he has been terrific

Agree. One of the best shot stoppers in the world. The way we want to play is not perfect for him, but that fact is not going to tarnish his status at all. Been wonderful for us.

 

[SteveCoppellFan]

Might as well give him a 3 year contract so he's worth something when we sell him.

Ohh wait, we have tried this before, many times.

Terrific is a stretch but he was a really good to great shot stopper at his peak who wasn't good at anything else. He was also good for a few baffling errors every season even at his peak in 17/18. On him being one of the best ever for the club, that may or may not be true but of the goalkeepers that I saw with my own two eyes play for this club, he's third at best and he's not in the same universe as Pete or Edwin.

Pete and Van Der Sar are two all-time greats, I don‘t consider De Gea in the same bracket either. He may also have been unlucky to be at the club during a downturn. A few seasons in there, he was carrying us. It is much easier to be gk in a team that competes for the title and dominates.

 

[golden_blunder]

It’s not that long ago that many on here were considering him our best keeper ever.
not for me, I’ve always considered big Pete the best I’ve seen closely followed by van der sar

Agreed and even big Pete wasn’t asked to stay by SAF
If I remember right he says “even fergie didn’t try too hard”
