Love these types of deal. Few more of these please
Has there been anything about Sverre Nypan recently? Seems to have gone quiet about him unfortunately.
What is writing about? Since he's under 18 he could never have joined us in January
It’s the January transfer window and we have work going on in getting contacts initiated. Rashford is having talks on a weekly basis. There doesn’t seem to be any urgency whatsoever
Yes, he is signing for us but can't play till summer, so will be loaned back until then.
Every single cent of the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia deal then, at the very least please.
Or alternatively we're doing bugger all.
In the past, the official line is that Man Utd don't like doing business during the window because it's very hard to negotiate. It's hard to sign any players playing well in good teams since they are typically still playing for something.
So it's really about watching the market and if a real opportunity occurs be ready to pounce.
It feels like a domino situation to me. If Rashford gets a move then we’ll try and bring in a replacement. If Casemiro gets a move then we’ll bring in a replacement.
Which is what was briefed before; we need outgoings to allow for incomings.
Downloading WhatsApp as we speak
He's got four different draft emails saved to send to Rashford's entourage. Can't decide which one sounds most flattering.
That’s what I was wondering
Probably calling the club during the game yesterday, leaving voicemail after voicemail.
Why are we never capable of just selling anyone? It's always a loan with option
Because teams don't want to buy outright and want to test the player before committing probably. In cases such as Sancho, it's been negotiated we pay the wages in part for the loan.
His value is at rock bottom now. Selling him permanently now is a bad idea. If he has a good loan spell, we can command more money.
Wages are high and we generally only sell players if we don’t want them. Meaning we pretty much start the negotiations with ‘this player isn’t good enough for a top four club’

We're signing the entire 2028 Mali National team at this point.
Source (Tier 3):
Almost every aggregator except for IFTV has gotten both Napoli's offer and Garnacho's price wrong. They claimed that Napoli's offer is €50m instead of €40m + €5m in bonuses and missed the fact that Pedullá reported Garnacho's price in Pounds rather than Euros.

Nice, Garnacho replacement lined up already! Step aside Brighton, there is a new sheriff in town!
Bang average form with massive wages.
But we have sold plenty of players? So where do you get the idea we don’t? Sancho was an exception.
Not a lot from any Tier 1 sources here (as you'd expect at this stage) but I'm going to say the pattern is encouraging: Rashford is clearly going (it's all about the 'doability' of the deal to determine the where and the how); Garnacho looks like a possible big(gish) money sale (I'm a bit torn but I'd prefer to keep Mainoo and anything getting close to £60m could be sensible for us in our position); and we could find a taker for Anthony. If we can then somehow add in Casemiro in this window, that's looking like progress.
My concern if Garnacho was going to be sold is two-fold.
Who are we getting to replace him because without him and Rashford the depth is very thin?
What are we doing about homegrown requirements? Rashford and Garnacho are both homegrown and losing them without any obvious youth players to promote will leave us very light in that regard.
I used to look forward to the transfer window and the prospect of new signings. Now it just frustrates me. Days of made up links and then last minute we’ll sign another Weghorst or Ighalo.
While i understand that we are in a difficult economic situation, i can’t help but think selling Garnacho is like taking on credit card debt to pay down your mortgage. Or pissing your pants to stay warm. Think we’d regret that.
agree. its a terrible sign. focus on shifting deadwood and trying to make smart deals for players that are scouted well by our supposed new recruitment team. a couple of years of sorting our wages and offloading players like casemiro, lindelof, antony, rashford should be our priority.
for different reasons if we offload garnacho we'd have possible offloaded greenwood, garnacho, rashford and mctominay in a short amount of time. I understand that some of those were sensible for different reasons but its a bad habit to get into, if we're looking to cash in on excellent potential at age 20.
