There is a rumour going around locally & a few people around my way have been sticking some money on Utd being in for Ollie Watkins.
Apparently rumour was that Utd wanted Kane, but that Watkins was being lined up as a potential alternative.

Only evidence i can offer is that Watkins is a local lad & it's been mentioned between mutual friends.
United have been monitoring Watkins for a while, so that checks out. Recently, however, United have made no move for the player, and their full focus is on Højlund at this time.

Not sure he will cost less than 60m
 


He looks the type of player Bayern Munich would sign and have him scoring goals for fun.

Nice to see we are making some much needed progress on the deal, hopefully we can get him in before the first league game, and I'll love it, I'll absolutely love it if he scores a beauty on debut.

Save the beauty for away at Spurs
 
Hate to go against the grain but I don’t remember seeing him mention the length of contract before, maybe someone can prove me wrong though.
He's mentioned a 5-year contract before, but what's new is the optional 6th year. Technically, this isn't a straight-up rehash, but the other details serve as a reminder.

Can't be true unless Watkins played for Ajax on Utrecht at some point...
For all you EtH doubters

I think you're right. Hopefully the bid lands soon and we get a bit of clarity over what happens next.
 
Fair enough! The extreme reactions to that blokes tweets are bizarre.
It is, yeah, but that's what happens when a journalist gets a ton of plaudits for reporting transfers, especially after everyone conditioned themselves to doubting any and every transfer rumour before he blew up.

What's also new is that Romano's fully confirmed the details of the personal terms. When he reported them before, he never seemed to assert that these were the true details. However, we now know for sure that United will offer Højlund a 5+1-year contract.

We offer everyone 5+1 contracts though. Particularly younger players. Was there ever any doubt it would be a long term contract?

Just because it's potentially likely doesn't mean that it's a certainty. Why should any journalist be picked on for reporting an actuality that was predictable?
 
Sigh. We're linked with 2 players in and 5 players out. Something must happen soon.

I keep on coming here to check, thinking something concrete must happen today - and then tumbleweed yet again.
 
I'm not a Romano hater but I feel like I've read this same tweet worded slightly differently everyday for the past couple of weeks now :lol:
He has a bit of a habit in reiterating his point when others have news

Lol!

I come from the same area as OW & as i said, probably total rumour mill, however it was passed on that basically that OW had been having discussions with Utd & it all depended on what happened with Kane, so if Kane signed for Utd, OW wouldn't, but if Kane goes to BM or stays at Spurs it was more likely to happen.

Again, more than likely speculative bollocks, but it's about the only bit of transfer goss i've ever heard down our neck of the woods!

I think it's his passive aggressive way of saying, "This is the real news from my sources. Other people are making it up because their sources aren't as good as mine."

He's obviously reliable when it comes to it, but that is all he ever tweets in the meantime. Pointless!

Or he's just guessed at the contract length that most here would have predicted, the same we gave Onana and Mount. Has he revealed wages if he's in on the details?

No reliable journalist ever reveals the wages until the deal's close to being sealed. If he has the info, he has to keep it to himself or risk putting the deal in jeopardy.

You can believe what you want, though. If don't think Romano's reliable, then feel free to scroll past his Tweets.
 
Hopefully, this is nothing more than negotiation tactics and we aren't hoarding players again.
Definitely just a negotiating tactic in terms of Maguire. McT I’m not so sure. I can imagine ETH is happy enough to keep him as a squad player.
 
We are in the CL. we will hopefully have over 50 games.

We will need to sign a CB if Maguire leaves.

Eriksen will play fewer games. Sabitzer is gone and Fred/DvB look like they are leaving. Mount + maybe Amrabat will replace them.. McT going means we might have to look for another CM as well.


If they are happy to be squad players, we arent pushing them out anytime soon..
 
I tell you a secret, I am Fabrizio Ramsano. I’ve been tweeting utter shite for years now pretending to know what’s going on. And people still believe in this crap.

This is exactly how I look like when I'm pretending to be talking on the phone.

Disasi will be the one IF Maguire goes,unless Pavard doesn't join City in which case we might make a move for him

That is why we have issues with FFP. You must sell squad players if offer is good.
