As 3rd choice for a role, yeah I don't see the issue

To play maybe with his good buddies J Frimpong and M Rashford, only time will tell.
I'm not sure how these deals are agreed, but perhaps we can get a 'favourable' deal with PSG for Ugarte for letting them have a clear run at Neves?
Letting. A normal club can't move the dial for an oil club.
Haha if we had 70m eur for Ugarte we'd get Gomes instead. This will take a while, wel bring them down or move on.
The Yoro fee being inflated (due to many reason) might have undone some good work/press United did for the Zirkzee deal.
INEOS need to be carful to not over pay on the next target otherwise the so called United Tax will be alive and kicking again.

If we pay the united tax for the best talents in world football rather than others who will go unnamed we can live with it.
You are not wrong, hopefully the club can go for an alternative option rather than chasing a player who's might be good to very good but not worth the sums demanded.
Especially since they paid around €60m for him last summer and apparently want rid. Can't expect profit in those circumstances.
Doesn't know we hold a year option
Abort. That would be a very bad deal at that price. I already had doubts when I thought it would be more around the €40m range
Yeah sorry he should be on there I thought I put him
I picked Zirkzee because he's the better tactical fit with Rashford / Garnacho. As I was saying in that post they are the two best wide players in the club and I think we need to find a way to play them both. Rashford, Hojlund, Garnacho can't make enough chances for each other.Hojlund starts. Zirkzee will have to earn his place, maybe an impact sub at first. People always cast away previous years toy when they get a new one dont they?
If Amad / Sancho make the RW spot their own then Hojlund should start.
Anyway the point overall is we don't need to be in a huge amount of rush for the transfers because IMO the starting xi for the first few games is sorted.
PSG are the ones doing the selling. Sticking 70 million on his head wont be what they'll get for him. We'll negotiate that down, no bother.
Tier 2:
Maybe better to explore the Rabiot deal for a free instead?
Rabiot is an upgrade over McTominay / cover for Mainoo, he has nothing to do with our CDM needs.
Lower our demands ? Less than £15 million ? Do they expect us to pay them to take him off our hands ?
Id rather keep Wan Bissaka as a backup than drop our asking price.
If they want 70m we may as well just hijack Neves

PSG wants to sell, otherwise, they will not be mentioning clubs from Spain and Italy that are interested in him. I doubt that there are any clubs in Spain and Italy that will fork out 70 million euros for Ugarte, hence, the second tweet that says that there is an unnamed EPL club looking into him. Anything above 50 million euros is too much for him. PSG paid 60 million euros for him wants him out of their club, does not fit their coach strategy, and wants to make money on him, by selling him more than they paid for him. Wow.
Indeed and even €50m is too much, I say it is €45m with add-ons, they still recoup 75% of what they paid for him and it will defo fund Neves signing for them, I hope our club stands firm.
They got Di Maria off us and the club lost about £15m on him, I hope we push them to do the same to them
Yeah certainly looks that way
This is what pisses me off. If Wan Bissaka played for Luton WHU would have no problem in paying 15 mil for him. I don’t know why other clubs think they can low ball us that much. I get the wages but iirc Wan Biska is not on crazy money at all
My guess is that other clubs still view us as easy source of cash (incomings and outgoings) and still run by non-footbaling jokers who don’t give a shit. It will take a bit of time for new management to establish some “street cred” by standing firm here and there, but it may take some frustration in the short run as we’re not able to buy or sell players at reasonable valuation.
Yeah hopefully INEOS show clubs that buyers are no longer gonna be able to lowball us so easily
I think teams are just testing us. Eventually if we only accept appropriate bids teams will start to come correct.
Yeah hopefully that's the case because need some players sales to fund another 2/3 signings
Didnt Ruud have Xavi Simons at PSV?
If Bissaka played for Luton, he would’ve been on 3-4x lower salary - hence buyers would have it easy paying higher transfer fees for him
Makes no sense with Mount still being at the club. Unless we're going to ship him out?
