Fabinho to Liverpool. Wow didn't see that one coming. Good player only see someone leaving them as well as Can for them to sign him. Is he any good as a keeper 😆😆.

Cue the Pedro style meltdown from people who have never seen him play 😂.

He’s a very good player. But plenty of more fish in the sea. With Fred almost done and perhaps Milinkovic savic and we will have massively upgraded from last season.

I ve never seen Fabinho, SMS, or Fred, Sandro.

Money aside I’d rather live in Monaco and win the off trophy than move to Liverpool.

He is a good player but believe it or not other teams are allowed to buy good players too.

Couldn't care less who Liverpool sign or don't sign .

If Fred wasn't deemed good enough to go to the World Cup *cough*Fabinho wasn't*cough* we probably would have 'under the radar' signed him by now.

GDS2, Many of us have seen him play, Monaco was an excellent team last season in the Champions League if you recall. They knocked out City and Dortmund and Fabinho was a key part of all of that. He is a very good player.

Agree1 Disagree0

Yes, he was. And so was Bakoyoko. Where is he by the way?
And did Monaco make it out of the group stage this season?
Not saying that Fabinho is a bad player but the hype he is getting is ridiculous.

Agree2 Disagree1

Addict, you might recall that Monaco lost Mbappe, Mendy, and Bernanrdo Silva as well as Bakoyoko. LIverpool have started the summer well, people need to admit that.

Zid,

It was just tongue in cheek mate, the meltdown after the Pedro signing for something else, like we had just lost out on the 2nd coming of Jesus or something.

The Monaco team that did well had a lot of good players in it not just Fabinho, it is like saying you would be gutted we missed out on Wes Morgan after he won the premier league. Fabinho is a solid player but he was never first choice for us so no big loss.

spot on zidaniel.

we may not like liverpool but you have to admit they have done some cracking business for both keita and fabinho. definitely a step up from their current midfield which was shown up against the quality of Real's midfield 3.

Personally I am happy we have matic and if we can sign fred, savic to add to pogba and herrera then we have some great options. Add pereira to the mix and some youngsters and we have our strongest midfield options in years.

But there is not point having these great options if jose does not tweak the tactics and releases the shackles. You can have all the talent in the world but if you don't coach them into a cohesive attacking unit then nothing will change. Apparently McKenna will be running the first team sessions with Jose overseeing. If this is true then I will be delighted because the youngsters played some great football under McKenna. It seems we are taking steps in the right direction and I am personally really looking forward to next season.

Fair play guys, I get your point now, GDS2. I just think Liverpool have started well this summer by adding Keita and now Fabinho. But I also think Fred could be a great signing for us, and hopefully another CM if Fellaini does in fact move on. Savic sounds awfully expensive at the moment but time will tell.
And Park, I like your thoughts on what McKenna could bring tactically to the team.

Ed001 - talk to me about Gareth Bale, I know he's going to be offered here and is interested in United but are we interested in him? Spurs have first refusal correct? I'd be surprised to see Levy willing to pay what it takes.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - previously United were interested but Madrid did not want to sell. I can't see why they would have dropped their interest in him now. Imagine Woodward clinching that signing, it would enable him to ask for so much more when Yanmar want to put United's name on their next tractor.....}

Tractors are great for making bales.

{Ed001's Note - oh damn I am gutted I never thought of that one!}

Never understood the snarkiness about sponsorship. No club cna do without it now. Which PL club would turn down money from a tractor company or noodle partner. they might intimate they would and their fans might say they would but they wouldnt. Every club does it.

Money is money. Arsenal signed a sleeve deal for visit rawanda, suppodedly for 30 mill, whilst Rawanda receive foreign aid from UK? How well does that sit with football fans

First club shop not UTD

First club to commercially tour China. not UTD

First club to commercially tour USA . not UTD.

First club to have in house TV channel. not UTD

First club to have shirt sponsorship, ground naming, sleeve sponsorship . not UTD

Most expensive season tickets in PL. not UTD

Most expensive season tickets in old first divison . not UTD. cheaper than Coventry city to name one of 7

Most expensive season tickets in old second division. not UTD.

BoyfromBurrenway - I think you are looking at it the wrong way mate for this particular point. Nobody should have a problem with the club making the most of it's brand to gain sponsors.

The problem is when those sponsorship deals come first, ie, tractor sponsor says to the club we will sponsor you for X amount if you sign Bale! Or there are two potential signings, one is more suited to the team, but the other is more financially beneficial sponsorship wise - where do you think we would go?

The sense I get and I assume many others get, is that we would tend to choose money making as a short-term priority. You can get both of course but that is why people can be a bit 'snarky'.

Fair point, well made Beast. Its getting harder and harder to seperate business/ football and to a degree celebrity/ entertainment/ showbiz.

I can remember a time when every club had a commercial office or a deal maker. you just never knew who they were. Woodward/ Levy etc etc are high profile figures now, something that doesn't sit well with me.

That’s because previously they never really needed and let’s be honest, everyone knew who the chairman was of their own club as well as others.

Let’s also be honest, does anyone have any experience working in a global business negotiating these deals? IF you do, and I for one do too, you’ll know just how hard they are not only to find, but also to get them signed up. I have a lot of respect for Woody, whose sole objective is to make us as profitable as possible as well as negotiate with greedy agents and players every day.
