In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Me too.
He has atleast 3-4 years at top level, and winning mentality.
Oh, and he loves the club.
Imagine having Zlatan, Pogba and Ronaldo in the same team, plus the best goalkeeper in the world.
If Zlatan recovers, and sign
Wow... how do they make up this stuff?
At least include Donna to united in that insane link up.
De Gea and Rooney ,a box of biscuits and a set of training bibs . Do people actually get paid to write this shit?
but is it worth paying 600k per week for the following 4 seasons I suppose is the question.
maybe they got the 2 and the 1 the wrong way around?
No you're not. if anything you have likely overstated Uniteds cut in jersey sales
I prefer 300 and you keep De Gea, although I am not sure about the combination Cristiano+Morata in the pitch
Probably the same way The Daily Star and the Express get their transfer stories.
3 pots with loads of random club names in the first two and random number combinations in the third. Pick one from each pot, put them together add a player name and you have your back page for Sunday.
Yes, yes it would!
Yeah IF Ronaldo was coming to United, there's no need to get Morata at all.
Given the size of the sponsorship deals with Adidas, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get anything from jersey sales.
Not sure if it was in Simpsons or South Park, where they had an episode where manatee's picked up balls from an aquarium, to make an episode.
Maybe something like that?
Why? They play two different positions...
Very good young holding midfielder playing in Belgium for Genk. I think Monaco and Sevilla have been linked, they're far more likely. Way too green to be a serious option for Arsenal at the minute. I don't even think he's been linked to Everton either, so...
Feck me, they do make up some fantastical bollox, I'd say a straight swap for Ronnie and Morata for Rooney and 150m.
It's a bargain Real, you know you want to.
I'd give Ronnie an extra 300k from Rooneys wages, sorted.
Ronaldo is a striker now. He's not a left winger.
Morata isn't a good partner for him.
Someone like Griezmann would be good foil for Ronaldo like Benzema is.
Morata and him don't compliment each other well and it's been true at Real Madrid too. I'm sure the Real Madrid fans on here can attest to this.
Not that I've watched him a lot, but 18m seems way too much for him. Only has two caps for Norway
Oh I agree. The Belgian league isn't *that* expensive for the most part and players from Genk are usually a bit cheaper than the highest rated ones from Anderlecht (Courtois and De Bruyne were only about £7m a piece). In contrast, Tielemans and Lukaku - who were both a fair bit more proven than Berge (only been at Genk since January) - went only for a few million more (both around £20m iirc). Like I sort of alluded to, I wouldn't be surprised if this rumour is rubbish.
Yeah i think its the Sun that uses the manatee method for their transfer stories.
Thanks for the link! I admit the following isn't something I'm familiar with.
These revenues show some years of very significant growth that may (not definitely) be linked to the purchase of players like Chicharito (first Mexican player), RVP, Owen (urgh), Kagawa (Asian market in general), and Mata. And I think it is possible the revenues are somewhat linked to winning of trophies iirc.
not sure if the tremendous increase in 2016 is due to Zlatan and Pogba (or whether the figures are not updated)?
Certain years where revenue drops may also possibly be linked to departures of players like Scholes, RVP, Giggs, and Kagawa.
These are jjust players I think are more immediately marketable and a possible link to the numbers in the immediate financial year. If we make assumptions on players like martial who become more popular after big performanes, I.e. the effect on numbers may be a bit delayed (if my theory is correct).
in other words, I don't see why the numbers preclude the argument that we can recoup Ronaldo's transfer fee over four years of increased growth due to his presence. Note again I'm not saying that signing Ronaldo makes us richer or gives us more profits. what I am saying is that we can generate more income. whether that is enough to result in profits over his wages - that I am not sure.
Seems to be feck all transfer news outside of possible bollocks Ronaldo rumours. Ronaldo has killed muppet season for the semi-believers
Yeah. We've gone from needing to sign 4 outfield players for under £200m to signing 3 outfield players and losing DDG. Makes sense.
Headline like this makes us looks a fool in world football. Serves us right I think.
No offence, but you are probably the bigger fool, if you actually believe that stuff.
Respect = money. In some contexts, apparently.
It has nothing to do with my belief.
The shirt sales money all goes to Adidas.
If you believe that we can cover a transfer fee through shirt sales, then I can't help you.
Note though that this fees are in dollars, so the pound growth will be much less.
I'd try and get the same number in pounds if possible. But I've already clogged this thread enough.
Not all of it. A small percentage goes to the club after sales hit a certain amount.
