He was easily the best RB wonderkid in 23 before regens. In 24 he’s been marked down by quite a bit whatever has happened to him. I have never seen him play so I’ve no idea even what kind of a player he is. I don’t know any of the players being mentioned to be honest
Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25
- Thread starter mazhar13
- Start date
Not to mention that these three players have been here for years and still haven't impressed.
Didn't I see somewhere this Kadioglu can play both RB/LB,so if we are selling AWB then surely it makes sense to go for him

Both Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are also interested in Wan-Bissaka.

Should not even consider bids under 25 million. We would have to get replacements for them that would be expensive.
Really wish there were more youth players coming through. The only RBs we have developed are Wes Brown, Gary Neville, Phil Bardsley, Danny Simpson and Ethan Laird? Not very impressive over a 30 year period.

Shouldn't be a problem. With two CBs under six foot they'll hardly bang their heads jumping.

Some serious versatility here
1 year left no option to extend and wants to move to WH apparently, we couldn’t get £25m for him.
Wan-Bissaka's transfer fee is fully amortized isn't it? Since he signed in 2019 on a 5+1 year deal. So if we sell him now it's a full FFP/P&S profit, like selling an academy player?
Significantly cheaper than many have suggested. Most of the journalists reporting €70m aren't overly reliable imo (at least not when it comes to details). I think it's €50m up front with €12m addons, so potential for €62m basically, which is more in line with what the initial reports of our accepted bid were suggesting.
Incredible. Take a bow, everyone involved. Big big time coup.
Time will obviously tell but seems to me like INEOS and the team they have assembled are quickly demonstrating just how inept and inefficient the club has been for the last 10+ years
Woop woop decent price too.
It's the same price. Just using different parts of it and currencies.
I truly believe it was inefficiency because the Glazers delayed everything and deference to the manager.
Part of it is you need owners that "get it". Even if Murtough / Arnold had ideas to revamp the club the way INEOS did, could they make that level of progress without the owners understanding what the feck was going on? They fired most of the club leadership, cut head count, hired best in class and negotiated for guys like Ashworth by threatening arbitration.
Not something a random DoF / figurehead CEO can just execute by themselves.
Pisstake bid that.
Very exciting how close it's getting.
I'm still wary of anything going wrong at the last moment until it's fully confirmed, but once it is I'll be so impressed with the new set up. Fantastic coup to get the deal done when it seemed set that he'd end up at Madrid.
Bodes well for how competent the new leadership / transfer set up is going to be run - in such stark contrast to the last decade.
I can't really argue against your points, but I think he was very useful recently as a physical presence when defending set-pieces.
I have no idea how good Yoro is in the air but he's a very skinny teenager so I am not expecting him to rock up this season and be prime Vidic. And if he is paired with our best CB, then I would be terrified every time the opposition has a corner, or a set-piece, or a throw-in in our half.
I'm not saying that is enough for us to keep Scott, or defending him and his qualities as a midfielder for United, but..... its something to consider. If we are weak at defending set-pieces then we will struggle week in and week out.
Ornstein reported €70m, Whitwell repoted €62m + €8m, they are super reliable, I think the the €50m Romano is reporting is the guaranteed fee/minimum fee, and the remaining balance whether it is €12m or €20m is the bonus pay triggered by Yoro hitting some milestones
This is the conundrum of modern football: a player won't catch the eye but bags important goals. Goals win games, you don't get any points for style or finesse. McTominay is a solid player who has never thrown a strop, even when losing his place, he scores important goals, he's been preferred by several managers over "better" players, he's an academy product, and we're not finding anyone better for the prices being mooted.
Yep, as per usual we won't sell him unless we get a bid that matches what we value him at. He's been valued by pretty much every manager he plays for.
Hang on a minute, West Ham spent £40m on Kilman?!
I heard they signed him but assumed it was around half that price, maybe nearing £30m at most.
Well, Martinez barefoot on solid ground is 5'7". Wearing his boots on grass makes him 5'8". Boots on solid ground he's now 5'9".
Nope, it was £40m. All the reputed sources have reported the same fee. Lopetegui likes him.

I know!
I was shocked when I saw it as well. But that's the reported fee that he went for. And it's reported that Maidenhead stand to make £4m as part of their 10% sell on clause after selling him to Wolves for just £40,000!
Ornstein is normally reliable, but the first person to break the news in France clearly said a bid of €50m + add ons was accepted. Ornstein and Whitwell have both said €62m as the base fee, which makes no sense if we already had a bid of €50m accepted. Now Romano is also saying €50m base fee, which fits with the initial source. It's unclear what the amount of the add ons are, but I don't fully trust Ornstein on the numbers here, considering there's at least one that I'm confident he's wrong on.
Wow, good player but a very high fee. He is English, was a key player for Wolves and I think he was their club captain, so when I think about it, it does make a bit more sense.
yea that’s a very good record
If he was on Chelsea no one would have been bidding 17m. Everyone knows we are suckers and INEOS is right to reject it.
Have you got a link to where it came from
Folks saying 25m should be a good fee are just clueless.
He might not the the most skilfull, he’s definitely got the right attitude and work ethic, which is sometimes not the easiest to find in younger players.
30 mil+ is where we should be starting at the minimum, would rather keep him, the goals he can give off the bench and in important matches is worth 20 mil in itself.

Double it and add £10m then we’ll talk.
Personally, I like McTominay as a squad option. Offers goals off the bench, an aerial presence, good professional with a good attitude, one of our lowest wages, can be asked to perform specific tactical jobs, home grown, sends a good message to our academy youngsters. Wouldn't be selling him for anything below £40m, and realistically we should probably just keep him, because I don't see us getting a quality replacement at that price. He'd be great at Fulham imo. He's a better player than Pereira who has thrived there.
I agree. I remember watching him play against Brighton away a couple years back and he was pure shocking but I think now we have realised he is not the guy for passing the ball around and playing nice stuff.
Hard working, good attitude and very good physical profile. I don't mind using a player like him in the squad.
He's the one who broke the news about an offer being accepted and Yoro accepting to join. So looks like tomorrow it will be made official.
