Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25

Lazy journalism at its finest. It falls roughly the same amount each year we miss out of CL football. People should check Q1 results for 2023. The revenue and EBITDA numbers are near identical.

I haven't looked at it in details but after next summer it should drop when many of our big earners from the last 24 months are gone (DDG, Eriksen, Casemiro, Martial, Maguire and Lindelof)
I would assume only Bruno, Mount and Rashford are on really big wages now

I’d wager Shaw is on a pretty hefty contract.

Yes - but I would guess that getting rid of these player save us close to £2 million a week: Martial, Casmiro, DDG, Sancho, Eriksen and Varane

And the new players we have signed probably make quite a bit less than £1 million a week - maybe as low as £700-800.000 (Zirkzee, Ugarte, DeLigt, Yoro, Mazraoui)

I hope it's not that much. Maybe Ronaldo is on 7-800,000.
 
Give him the same contract as Rashford. No wait, the other way around. Give Rashford the same contract as Amad.

Joking aside, will be interesting to see what sort of contracts we give the likes of Amad. hes had about 6 months of decent performance and shouldn't be on anything silly at this stage of his career. Problem is, everyone around him is on silly money.

The wage bill isn’t really that bad anymore. Casemiro, Rashford and Bruno are the biggest earners. Maguire is probably overpaid.
 


Source (Tier 1):

Madrid are asking for Diogo Dalot as an option on the right and already know his price: 50 million Euros.

The club is keeping a close eye on the Portuguese full-back, although they know he will be expensive and that for Amorim he is a key player.

Real Madrid are expecting TAA to sign a new contract with Liverpool hence their inquiry into other right back options like Dalot.
 
Would be the stupidest possible move he can make considering they have one of the only strikers in the world he wouldn’t get in the team ahead of.
There are a few possibilities here (order in terms of likeliness):
  1. They want to rotate Haaland more or play Gyökeres alonside him (like Alvarez did for a while)
  2. They are preparing for Haaland potentially leaving City
  3. They want him to back up Haaland
I wouldn't be surprised if he comes in to help City move on from de Bruyne with another creative player coming in with him.
 
Quite exciting player to watch with Juve this season!
I agree, but it's not a position we need reinforcements in. We have Bruno, Amad, Mount, Rashford, Zirkzee, and Garnacho all capable of playing in the wide forward/#10 positions. Priority should be LWB, CM, and striker.

Was watching Juve’s highlights to see this Turkish forward.
Instead my eye was focused towards their LWB who seems super explosive and full of running. Reminds me of a young evra. Goes by the name of cambiasso.

The wage bill is awful for the return the players have provided. We have consistently had one of the top wage bills in the league coupled with performances that wouldn't be out of place from teams paying out half our salaries.

We have Casemiro, Rashford and Sancho on crazy wages vs their performances. Bruno arguably deserves his. Then we have a bunch of players around the £200k mark who should be top top players but are by and large just decent.

Which is why I said it's not that bad anymore. Every club has a bad contract here and there but we've made huge strides in improving our wage bill in the last 3 years. Allowing the likes of De Gea, Varane, Ronaldo, Martial, Sancho, etc to all leave.

Recent reports now have us as the 2nd or 3rd highest wage bill as we have trimmed it down. Still work to do but it's an improving picture.

4. It's bullshit.

Either by the journo or an attempt to push the price up for when he leaves.

It is hopefully possible that city will either be transfer barred or so financially restricted that they won't be able to buy anyone for a good while
