The Manchester United Thread

Wonder how low Cavani was on the list, I mean been a free agent for ages so Solskjaer's plan Z. Not saying it's a bad signing but again... where was the plan, there wasn't.

He was 2nd choice after Jovic. Utd had no need to rush to sign him being a free agent and it’s actually paid off considering what other clubs were close to paying for him.

I'm just on tenterhooks as to how you'll spin Dembele into a good signing mate .....

only way its going to be any good is if its a loan or we buy him for 10bob

13.7m is a cracking deal for Telles tbh.

If he was 2nd choice then there may as well not be a plan.

Unless mid-table mediocrity in the hope that they'll be a Leicester-esq historical collapse every year from some team for CL money is the said plan.

There was a plan we wanted a str on a short term deal as Ighalo is leaving. The choices were Jovic, Cavani, Josh King.

I'd want 49p change.

But I'd still have to think hard on that investment before I agree.

And the rest ?

In a Baldrick 'cunning' way?

Just on the off chance we do agree to sign Dembele what’s peoples thoughts on the fee. Seeing reports between 65-40m

I agree but that doesn’t look like happening. And there’s a big difference between 120m and possibly 40m.

 

[zzeezzy]

It's a disaster of a deal, he's always injured and there is no way a risk like that should be taken.

I said it before but the ONLY way I want Dembele is if we get him on loan with an option to buy.

Why should we fund Barcelona for a player they blatantly don't want? Just because it suits them now to have a permanent fee, forget it.

I'd rather us go and ****** sign Sarr or Saint-Maximin at a premium price than get Dembele now on a permanent.

The more things change. The more they stay the same.

 

[zzeezzy]

The other thing that puts me off Dembele is this French connection he'll have with Pogba and Martial.

Don't get me wrong some would see that as a positive, but I seriously have my doubts about Pogba's desire to want to succeed at United.

His half-arsed nature ****** me off the more I see it, laughing when he concedes a penalty... the guy is a joke. I want Pogba to go to Real Madrid where he belongs and see how long their fans put up with him.

I'll take players like van De beek or Bruno who give everything for the shirt over players like Pogba, I'm sick of him now.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

That’s a good clause tbh surprised they thought about to include that.

Edinson Cavani's #mufc medical has gone well. He will sign a 1+1 contract which will include a break clause for the club and the player #mulive [@RobDawsonESPN]

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Facundo Pellistri will go straight into the first-team set-up at #mufc with the club well aware of the immediate impact he could make when he is given time to adapt. #udlatest [MEN]

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

So no Sancho and no Dembele. Next ? maybe Pallistri will be our RW this season till Amad arrives in Jan

 

[Sherkey]

Wow, did not expect that. Atleast thought we would go after Sarr, but I guess he is not a glamorous enough option.

What's that mate?
