Their transfer dealings may be a messy shit show, but the one thing they do manage is moving fast. Doesn’t look likes we have much hope on this one.

Reasonable release clause + lots of top clubs interested inevitably means his wages will get bid up significantly. Could still be a good deal in the end, but probably won't end up being this cheap bargain.
I assume a standard 200k p/w will be enough. He's on < 50k p/w currently. Any signing we make for 100m will make that on top of the extra transfer outlay.
Reports suggesting Juve want to sell Chiesa.
Maybe they'd enertain the idea of a swap deal with Antony?
I remeber a few years back Chiesa was hot property but It sounds like things havn't gone to plan for him at Juve.

After brilliant Euros in 2021 he’s had 15 different injuries. Missed 57 games in 2021/22, 16 in 2022/23 and 11 in 2023/24. I think Shaw has enough friends in the physio room as it is.
High wages for a 26-year old injury prone player might be Woodward’s dream but I hope and believe the new owners and directors are smarter than that.
Injury prone, not the player he was
Dream kind of player but another injury prone one.
How on earth do Chelsea have the money to keep buying players?
I literally remembered while typing this that they sold hotels to themselves or something so it's all fine somehow...
Clever of them to jump in now though, as they know we can't currently afford to do anything. Works for me though as I don't think we need him. Hopefully we go for a left winger instead.

They sell hotels.
Hopefully we give Amad a proper go next year!
Would rather see Todibo come in than Branthwaite. Would also be sad to miss out on Olise.
People worry about Todibo's aerial ability
FYI, Simon Jones is banned.
A bit more info:
Ed Aarons (Tier 2) also refers to Olise's complicated release clause:
If Palace receive bids from CL clubs that activate the clause - but Olise informs them that he'd rather go to a team not in the CL, like Chelsea or us - then I imagine they'd probably be able to agree a similar type fee (maybe just with more ad ons or bigger sell on clause)?
Tier 2:
I have a feeling we will miss out on a lot of targets why we ponder which players we can afford to sign
We would only be able to do one of these deals. None injury prone players come to us and spend most of the time in the doctors office. He missed 20 odd games last season. We’d kill him. Loan and prove his fitness then consider a bid
I'd say now more than ever the media will not have any idea who United are in for. Ineos are tightening up on information leaks quite well or seems
Right, starting to get a bit concerned now about rivals getting to players we should be signing.
It does all sound like lazy speculation and agents using our name to drive competition so far
It's June 13th. Nobody else signed anyone of note yet.
I'm hoping we buy a few players nobody expected us to go for at good prices who turn out to look bargains by the end of next season
Reminds me a bit of toddling to the corner sweetshop before I got a handle on addition. Can I get that - and that - for one of these?
Chelsea will outbid us on wages.
I know, patience.
Would hate to see Olise go to a rival though. Unless the release clause info is true and Chelsea signs him for 80m plus.
Probably just paper talk so far alright.
Yeah, we know exactly who we can afford, the issue is whether we use a lot/all of the current budget early days or wait until we sell some/reduce wages and hope they’re still available.
Also, from 1/7, we should have more as we go into a new PSR year… but how many targets get sold by then?
We aren't top dogs and I don't think we will pay exorbitant fees and wages. Will be interesting to see how we manage that.
Would be extremely underwhelmed by Branthwaite and De Ligt. Yoro and Ignacio are the two to get.
I genuinely don't think De Ligt is better than Maguire.
Dont you think that is a bit general?
Better at what? Football? What type of football? What is the task and in what system? Do you geniuenly think Maguire is a better fit for coaches like a EtH? Or even Pep or Klopp?
I think they're similar players in many way, but Maguire is a more physical and already proven in the PL. You can't complain about the defence and lack of pace preventing this mythical high line, then go for De Ligt.
From an article... sounds familiar.
