Manchester United agree deal with Newcastle United to appoint Dan Ashworth as sporting director. Move delayed by #MUFC & #NUFC struggling to compromise on compensation package but switch now sanctioned + 53yo to start immediately @TheAthleticFC

Interesting is no fee mentioned. Probably agreed to be somewhere in the middle, so both teams can claim 'victory'. In the end though, United got their man

So on the one hand we have stats as argument, and counter agrument is -I trust my eyes. Which is fair enough. But I hope you now see why I do not rate Branthwaite as high as you do.

I have seen some of the things you and Leg have mentioned mate. But for most parts he’s been very impressive in a poor poor Everton side with a poor manager, system, players for most parts.

Seems like no fee involved in the end

It's your opinion and as such I respect it, but I do not agree with it (same as you with mine). Gonna finish with this, if he ends up at United, I'd love if you were right.

That would be really strange. Would mean the barcodes are indeed guilty.

Then you patently haven’t watched much of him play football closely mate.

It pains me to say it, but Everton have an absolute gem on their hands there.

There’s a reason we wanted him badly last summer. Not that they’d ever sell to us. And it wasn’t because he’s a stopper like Maguire.

Maybe I’ve just watched all his mediocre games, it’s possible. I watch his matches against Newcastle (1-1), Chelsea, Brentford, you lot at goodison and the 2 games against us and the only game I was genuinely impressed was the blinder against you lot. Then again, they just sat in a typical Dyche low block (made Takowski look world
Class) which Maguire also thrives in.

That said, just because you lot where linked doesn’t make him a banger of an option after all, you were also linked with Mason Mount (whom I knew would be a failure from the off).

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. With all the de ligt rumors picking up, hypothetical, I don’t see where he starts. He’s not starting ahead of a full fit L Martinez nor a de ligt.

Lol, there was definitely a fee especially considering Newcastle paid £5 million to get him from Brighton.

Even if we did it won’t be anything near the reported £20m they wanted likely not even near half I would guess. Ineos played this well that’s for sure.

Another new appointment coming in according to Orny


EXCL: Man Utd working to appoint Christopher Vivell to help with summer transfer window. 37yo to lend expertise around talent ID, recruitment, multi-club model. Latest step to build out #MUFC sporting structure @TheAthleticFC

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

Christopher Vivell will bring knowledge of operating in a multi-club model to #mufc, which United’s new hierarchy is expected to explore going forward. He also has huge experience in scouting and player recruitment, from his previous roles at RB Salzburg, RB Leipzig and Chelsea. He will report to Omar Berrada. [@David_Ornstein]

Understand it’s a DONE DEAL:

Christopher Vivell is set to join Manchester United with immediate effect as their new Director head of Recruitment!

All that's missing is the work permit for the 37 y/o. The former Technical Director from Chelsea with many options. But he decided to join #MUFC on a short-term contract with a view to becoming long term! Vivell will help in terms of transfers in the next two windows as per

United have signed highly rated u14 winger James Bailey from Burnley

 

[Legend Incredible]

If you ask most Newcastle fans, they’ll tell you Ashworth left most of the recruitment to Steve nickson

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

If that was the case why did Newcastle want him in the first place, let alone demand £20m for him to leave. Smacks of sour grapes to me.

Exactly. It’s most likely the reason they don’t want the fee being disclosed. They been done right over after playing billy big balls!

I'd say thinking the Saudis haven't been handsomely compensated, when they held all the cards, is as naive as some of the Braithwaite takes.

It will come out eventually. So we will see. But the closet I can find on the fee is around 5m which is a way off 20m. Be interesting to know.
