Cant believe we're only getting 1 million for Bailly?!
It should be 10 million at least.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

That selling fee just highlights how damaging Ed Woodward's reign at United really was.
It really is going to take a couple more years to finally clean up his mess, Its truly amazing how many mistakes he made.

He's averaged about 14 games a season for 10 years now giving him away would be a bonus.
Lavia and Foden are the only ones worth mentioning, the others haven't achieved anything in the EPL yet.
To be honest even Lavia is stretching it, he joined City from Anderlecht when he was 16 and left when he was 18 for Soton.
Southampton just love wasting money on young City GKs. They don't learn for some reason.
1 down, 3 more (Bailly, Maguire, Williams) to go! And we even break the £25m mark.
I've got high hopes for Jadon Sancho and Charlie McNeill, who are both City academy graduates.
I mean even Sancho joined City from Watford at about the age of 16, and left 2 years later to join Dortmund. So Lavia and Sancho are both players City lured away from other teams, but then didn't pull through in terms of offering them pathways into the first team. Their academy has had very little to do with those players having found some success since leaving.
McNeill doesn't look like he'll ever be good enough to play in the PL. That might change, but he turns 20 soon and has only played first team football in League 2 so far.
Yeah can also throw Judge in there as well
Didn't say they had done anything yet. Read the original post. They are among the most highly rated young players out there. Not to say they will go on to be successful.

Even this isn't true, though.
Well you said their academy produces some of the best young players in the league, and then named a bunch of players of which only Foden has made a decent number of appearances.
And amongst the most highly rated young players by who? As United fans we should know full well that being rated at that age means nothing. They're just living off the success of City's first team and the attention that brings. Most of them will end up playing at a decent level somewhere else, but most likely the championship.
So I did read your post properly, it just wasn't very well put, and the point you were trying to make wasn't a good one based on what is factually correct.
Rashord's wages until October sortedWe'll take it
I would get rid of Martial as well.
not a chance, he's perma injured
Well, I was very close.
People expecting us to get 10m to 15m pounds were always going to be disappointed.
It’s understandable given that they can offer Kante something like 100m a year. Chelsea got 30-40m of whatever for Koulibaly. It’s not unreasonable to have hoped for a 1/4 or 1/3 of that fee or 10% of the wages offered to Kante.
Foden fees like he’s not really living upto potential tbh. He’s quick but he hasn’t nailed down a position in their team.
Considering he’s been around their first team for 5 years now you’d hope he’d have become a key player given how much he was hyped by Pep.
There seems to be a lot of variation in the reported fee for koulibaly with some saying £17m and some nearly double that

Highlight:
Tier 2:
Basically, United won't look to give huge contracts to anyone that'll make then an obvious outlier to the rest. As of now, Rashford's new contract makes him the highest earner in the club ahead of Casemiro though not necessarily a clear standout.

Update on Onana's fee (Tier 1):
The fee is growing again.
Still a good deal between £45-50m.
Still a good deal between £45-50m.
Of course...this fee will continue to inflate as the days and weeks pass! Amazing how when selling players we get told take it or leave it...and we usually take it!
It'll keep growing until he lands on British soil
I thought Sancho was on 350k pounds a week?
Yep. Either Rashford’s new reported 325 k per week are base and we don’t know how much he would make with bonuses, OR Sancho, Varane and Casimiro’s reported high wages are including bonuses and their base salary is lower.
Otherwise it makes no sense that Rashford’s new contract makes him the highest paid player.
Let's put it in €s though for the bigger number
Oh so those ridiculous Sancho earning 350k/week rumours aren't true? Who would've thought.
Based on Wheeler's recent Tweet, Rashford's base salary may be £300k/week with £25k/week in bonuses.
Here are the reported salaries for the following players:
- Sancho: Ducker reported £250k/week (bonuses included), whilst Ornstein & Whitwell reported a similar salary + additional bonuses that'll take the total to £300k/week
- Varane: Ducker kept reporting that United are paying £20m/year (~£385k/week; bonuses & image rights included), but L'Équipe reported back then that his wages would match those of Maguire's (£190k/week in total according to Ducker)
- Casemiro: Whitwell reported the total cost of the Casemiro transfer to be £140m (fee + total wages over the span of the contract)
- Casemiro signed a 4+1 year contract, so assuming that the £70m in total salary is spread over 5 years, the salary is £269k/week in total
Cheers for the detailed answer, much appreciated!
Sancho’s usually rumoured 350 k remain a mystery so if his actual wages are lower then much better for us.
The difference between Varane’s wages reported by Ducker and L’Equipe is huge. Varane and Casimiro must have already been on huge salaries at Madrid so 190 k and even 269 k with us don’t sound that high if true.
Regardless, we really shouldn't be paying £98 million pounds on Onana, that's just my opinion.
And by the time the transfer is concluded hell be too old anyway and so a big thumbs down from the caf..
Real Madrid were trying to offer Varane even more money, but he rejected them to take the lower overall package that we offered. Casemiro was happy enough with what we were offering, which was why that transfer was completed relatively quickly.
