The Manchester United Thread

€55m total deal for Martinez sounds a pretty good deal to me. Hopefully both him and Eriksen can be on the plane tomorrow to join up with the squad.

And from ETH presser early this morning sounds like DVB will be rotating with Bruno. And Eriksen is being signed to play deeper like at Brentford as an 8.

Really over priced down to the bungling two-some leaving it this late in the window would be more on point.

Good if it gets done for ten Hag. But that doesn't detract from the calamity getting to this point.

You really can't spin it any other way than what it is.

Not really overpriced now is it considering Arsenal have been after him for a while and the fee has been pretty much the same demand from them baring 5/10 m euros depending on the source.

He was never gonna be cheap after Ajax have lost a lot of there squad and have no need to sell.

55m euros for a top rated left footed international CB that fits a the managers style like a glove doesn’t seem that overpriced. Considering the fee a lot of players of lesser quality have it are going to go for.
 
Looks like from Ornstien latest tweet we have had to bump up the first initial payment 10m euros to help them sort out the deferred wages side
 
And there's a reason Arsenal and United are the only clubs in for him. The state of those two clubs are his current level. And at that he's effectively the Timber alternative after he walked away.

So for a player from Ajax nobody else is looking at, that fee would be well over his market value. But that's what happens when you let things drag through a window and clubs know you are more desperate.

No question ten Hag wants him after Timber collapsed. So he has worth to Utd in the state they currently are. I aren't dissing the signing. That's Utds business and where their status currently is.

But it doesn't alter the fact Utd are now having to pay over the odds to get him through their own incompetence in the market.

are you **** stering again lol
 
It is well over the odds since Ajax does not want to sell. A good 10-15m over I'd say. For a 55m defender, he'll have a lot of pressure on him.

He was pushing for the move however and we still overpaid. Ofc, Ajax know we’re that desperate.

Might as well call us AFC Manchester at this point

Speaking of, how's your 100m striker for whom you had no rivals and all the leverage in the world?

*£85.36 M. Sounds better in £ haha.

Now now. I know the gaps growing by the season, but it's harsh to longer consider yourselves 'rivals.'

Blisters from a brutal Klopp pre-season aside, he's settling in just fine ta.
