Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25

[Irrational.]

I hear he has a brother. Are we signing both Overies?

There’s not enough womb in the squad for both Overies.

 

[lysglimt]

Can he do his Overian Ligament ?

The squad is Overyquipped?

12.6m for a agent to an unproven young player. These guys are such a poison. Complete leeches that should simply operate on a percentage basis the same as agents in other fields.

This guy is an absolute unit, no idea if he's good enough for the premier league but he's certainly going to be able to handle the physical side of the game here.

It also seems incredibly close to a 'bribe' in this case. Zirkzee has a release clause, so the clubs don't really need an agent to broker a transfer fee. This is the agent basically saying "pay me this absurd amount of money, for doing absolutely nothing, and I'll convince the player to choose your club over the other interested parties".

Really is madness.

A big fat NO to Solet, a good player, but not good enough for United. Too sloppy, not the right mindset
Please sign his partner, Pavlovic.

I really dont see why anybody but the players should pay their agent. Its a service provided to them, and agent fees are absolutely crazy.

Problem is not the body, its his mind. Would be a poor mans Maguire, if he could not change his mindset.

In this case, the player has a relatively cheap release clause. The agent is asking a fee on top for inserting that release clause and getting the player cheap to the buying club.

I am not saying it's right but giving what could be their reasoning behind it. Also, it's Kia Jowhatever, he is a notorious shitbag.

Is he not the agent Tevez had all those years ago?

ya but he also wants his client at a big club and on more wages. Seems like they get it both ways here and that hes representing himself as much as his client.

 

[didz]

Correct.

In that case... Boo Zirkzee Boo

That's what happens when the agent business is not regulated. It's nonsense.

For all the socialist leaning in Europe, the soccer business is very capitalistic.

So clearly open to corruption to. It should be the players business to use an agent or not, and the agent should be paid by their employer - the player.

CB 1: de light (35m pounds)
CB 2: braithwhite (55-60m pounds)
CM: Amadou Onana (35m pounds)

looks good until you think of the wages, De Ligt already on 250k, Toney would also want his last big contract.

 

[Red the Bear]

CB 1: de light (35m pounds)

Onana would add nothing to the squad.

Aye, very shady.

 

[Blood Mage]

Zirkzee is an exciting player but he's not exactly a clinical finisher. Someone like Guirassy would make more sense if we're looking for a cheap-ish striker.

 

[Mas Risky]

Contrary to popular opinion, Maguire also has good qualities in possession and is able to play in a high defensive line. We were one of the highest defensive lines in the Premier League in Ole's two full seasons, when Maguire was the first name on the team sheet. In comparison, Varane and Martínez were always one of the lowest in 2022/23.

Mind you, I'd take de Ligt if the 42m price tag is true, but he isn't worth it at 60+ for me.

Playing high defensive line with slow defenders such as Maguire and De Ligt will only work if we are collectively press resistance. I doubt Ten Hag will suddenly make us into prime Barcelona next season.

Fine with De Ligt at CB, or failing that, Todibo.

For the 60m it will take to bring in Branthwaite, I'd much rather Olise.

Would take Zubamendi over Onana in a heartbeat.

And I'd roll the dice on Zirkzee up top.

Other than missing out on a LB, that would be a pretty perfect summer. With De Ligt, Martinez, Maguire and Lindelof (with Evans and Kambwala in emergencies) we'd have enough cover at the back imo

 

[Red Stone]

Delighted to see we've secured his cervixes.

Onana would add nothing to the squad.

I concur; he got benched for Everton as much as he was picked. Physical but bang average with the ball and not a DM, which is what we need.

I don’t get the clamour for him.

 

[DJ_21]

Chelsea and Arsenal looking at that Stuttgart ST. We should be if it’s true that’s he’s available for 15m. With the budget we’ve got you can’t go wrong with a signing like that.

He should have been our no.1 transfer target from day one. Doesn't affect our transfer budget that much, has a good scoring record and has a good age to be a short term solution and compete with Hojlund (they can also play together since they are very different striker profiles).

 

[FujiVice]

I think people underrate Amadou Onana on here. At 22, he's far from the finished article and has a lot of attributes to make him a top player. Maybe he's not the right player for us at this present moment, but he'll do very well in his career.

Can't we sell them Antony instead?

Look at Yaya Toure, he hadn't even moved to Olympiakos when he was 22.

Why not just go for Todibo if that's the case? Palace & Everton will want more than the allotted funds, then Real are getting Yoro, so cut the chase and move onto leftback, midfielder and striker targets.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

A host of Premier League sides - Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool among them - are closely monitoring Guehi ahead of next season.

Why not just go for Todibo if that's the case? Palace & Everton will want more than the allotted funds, then Real are getting Yoro, so cut the chase and move onto leftback, midfielder and striker targets.

If INEOS can't resolve that conflict of interest situation with Nice, then we may have to rule out Todibo. INEOS did assure that they'll resolve it, though, so let's see how that goes.
