Hey ed002,

Just wondering do united have an interest in nathan akè or pau torres for CB? Thanks for all the info appreciate itcas always 🙏.

DHfitness20

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United looked at Pau Torres late last year but OGS has made clear he is not looking for a CB as he is fully stocked. Ake was of interest to Mr Mourinho.}


1.) 29 Jul 2020 16:18:37
I do like Ake. However with Mourinho being a fan and Vertongen departing Spurs they seem a more likely destination. Utd may be fully stocked but with at least three of their options constantly linked with a move away surely they'll be needing one sooner rather than later. I could see Jones doing well for a lesser Prem team and Smalling/ Rojo seem to have suitors.

{Ed002's Note - Smalling and Rojo do not need replacing.}


2.) 29 Jul 2020 18:29:58
We have 7 center backs people! 7!

Rojo
Jones
Smalling
Bailly
Lindelof
Maguire
Tuanzebe

Getting rid of 3 puts us at the right amount of centre backs for a 4 at the back system.


3.) 29 Jul 2020 19:46:18
If we get rid of 3, that leaves us with 4 (none of which are world class) and one/ arguably two of those seem quite injury prone.


4.) 29 Jul 2020 20:37:01
But you don't replace players on the basis they might get injured that could happen to anyone if you don't think they can do the job you move them on you can't just bring others in because maybe something happens what if it doesn't? You either trust in what you have or you move those you don't on and replace them you can't have both.


5.) 30 Jul 2020 08:51:16
Still not sure why Smalling was allowed to leave. Him and Maguire might be quite a tough opponent.


6.) 30 Jul 2020 12:00:59
Ake off to City.


 

 

14 Jun 2020 22:55:06
Apologies ed002 if it seems a stupid question but united targeting grealish i'd hope is completely different to uniteds targets for the RW position abd he is being targeted as a midfield position? thanks.

DHfitness20

{Ed002's Note - AM and LM - offers different things to Fernandes.}


1.) 15 Jun 2020 11:37:03
Shouldn't that be the spot we use for Chong or gomes?


2.) 15 Jun 2020 17:27:41
Both are far too young yet. They need a loan or two away to develop. We do need to add quality signings like Bruno to the side this summer.


3.) 15 Jun 2020 22:43:21
Chong is just a haircut and has shown absolutely nothing to suggest he is even in the right sport let alone Premier League standard. There are players of the same age who are far more developed.


4.) 15 Jun 2020 23:28:35
Thanks ed002. Grealish and a RW would be a great summer.


5.) 15 Jun 2020 23:35:03
We've just given Chong a new contract, spent a long time convincing him to stay, so the club obviously disagree. Why give him the contract if you aren't going to use him? As for gomes why would he sign a new deal if the club are going to sign a new player for his position?


6.) 16 Jun 2020 00:17:15
Chong and gomes are not first team players.

{Ed002's Note - They would have been given guarantees - this is where it can go horribly wrong. I have loved all of those films that Tommy did but it was time to head out.}


7.) 16 Jun 2020 11:20:10
Agree Bolger. Said before I don’t see the appeal of Chong. And Gomes seen less of. Appreciate it’s a squad game but players need to be of the calibre to make the first team.

Gomes was very highly regarded in the academy I know. But many prospects don’t realise their early potential.

I’m well aware players can’t fully develop unless playing regularly. Chong and Gomes can only be loaned out for further experience surely.


8.) 16 Jun 2020 12:01:55
I think both Chong and Gomes need a loan. The need to play most weeks if they are to progress and develop. They just won't get that at the United next season.

They struggled for minutes this season when they competition for places was Mata, Lingard and Pereira, next season you could potentially add Sancho and Grealish or similar players as competition for places.

From what I've seen Gomes is the more naturally gifted, but he is very small and will need to learn how to cope with men's football. He won't do that unless he is playing.

Chong from what I've seen looks better coming off the left than the right, which sadly means that he has Rashford, James and Martial as competition. Which makes breaking into the first team that much harder when you have to do so in a position which isn't your best.


9.) 16 Jun 2020 15:33:13
Shappy, so why sign a new contract with Chong? Amateur hour all over again.

I would have loved to have heard that conversation "yes Mr Chong, you will be our fourth choice left winger although we also try to sign a young Englishman in the same position so you might become fifth choice. Sign here please"


10.) 16 Jun 2020 19:10:18
From the club's perspective they aren't going to want an asset leave for nothing. He is a young talented player who could become a top player or he might become average. But even as an average player the club would receive a decent fee for him.

United could loan him out for a year or two and see how he develops. Then either keep him or move him on.

It's less clear why Chong would choose to sign. I'd imagine that considering he has been able to talk to foreign club's since January, I'd guess he didn't like the options available to him.


11.) 17 Jun 2020 08:13:06
Good to see you’re writing off young talent who haven’t been given a proper chance.


12.) 17 Jun 2020 15:03:08
But Eric, he has been given a chance and was rubbish.

I see your point Shappy, that makes sense. Maybe we can get a few quid back for him.


 

 

11 Jun 2020 22:46:42
Hey ed002,

Hope all is well. just wondering is uniteds interest in kai havertz as a possible RW or multiple positions solution? he's probably off to chelsea anyway just thought i'd ask. thanks.

DHfitness20

{Ed002's Note - I rather doubt that.}


1.) 12 Jun 2020 07:13:22
Sorry to mither you Ed I’m a long term reader but not posted I’ve been a fan of Havertz for some time was just wondering do you see him signing for Chelsea?

I personally do there’s something in the air at Chelsea at the minute as if Romans ready to do a 2005 transfer window again. To be honest there net spend is pretty good for a big club like Liverpool’s and they’ve needed a good clear out and proper way halothane acquisition’s for a few years.

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - He may well do. Chelsea are not spending any money that has not come through player sales as profit.}


2.) 12 Jun 2020 10:12:42
Predictions:

Havertz to Chelsea after a week of negotiations in a £90m deal. Player signs 7 year £200k pw contract.

Grealish to United for £80m on deadline day after fruitless negotiations for Sancho all summer long. Player signs 4 year £250k pw contract.

: (.


3.) 12 Jun 2020 14:29:29
Chelsea are really doing business very well think other fans forget they’ve got the Hazard and Morata money to spend after nearly two quiet years. They’ve also got money for Pasalic and got the likes of Bakayoko, Barkley, Batshuayi, Emerson or Alonso and possibly Jorginho leaving to raise funds which they should get close too 100m not to mention high wage earners in Willian and Pedro leaving.

Be a waste if they blast 50* million on Chilwell though very over rated for the price.


4.) 13 Jun 2020 12:11:22
You’re now putting Chelsea on a pedestal on how to conduct transfers? They’ve had no strategy for years and wasted millions on average players.


5.) 14 Jun 2020 23:28:18
People learn from mistakes we’ve done the same with transfers it’s about how you learn from them. They’ve gone from getting Ziyech and Werner for Lampard and backing the manager to the likes of Bakayoko and Drinkwater under Conte. Think Lampard knows the right type of players to go after.


 

 

02 Jun 2020 22:11:58
Ed002 you mentioned the other day that a move for jude bellingham looks unlikely right now does that mean he's headed to dortmund than? thanks.

DHfitness20

{Ed002's Note - Dortmund offer a better option to him. Right now it seems more likely.}


1.) 03 Jun 2020 21:15:39
Thanks ed002 as always.


 

 

30 Apr 2020 22:59:12
Ed002 apologies if this seems like a stupid question but is grealish still a target or is it only if pogba leaves? thanks.

DHfitness20

{Ed002's Note - It would put him as a real target DH.}


1.) 01 May 2020 19:17:38
Ed002 again sorry if this is a stupid question but if pogba stays at united any chance that united will still try to sign grealish.

{Ed002's Note - I cannot really answer that. Manchester United want Grealish and Pogba wants out - but the amateurs are just screwing around.}


2.) 01 May 2020 19:53:25
Sorry Ed 002 I will rephrase it.
Would united want grealish if pogba doesn't move. Would a move for grealush be dependant on pogba leaving.

{Ed002's Note - No, the amateurs want Grealish but have gotten themselves in a situation with Pogba as I have explained over and over. You can seasrch - I have been explaining this for months and months.}


3.) 01 May 2020 20:51:21
Thanks for all info Ed002. I’ve done a quick search on your kind precious posts and it seems as though the amateurs (presumably those not acting professionally by either not being compassionate to the players wishes or not understanding how the market works in reality), unless they change their thinking, will have to keep Pogba and allow him to run down his contract - unless they are prepared to take players in part-exchange (or let him go for a much reduced fee? Presumably they’ll never get back what they paid for him? )

Thus - and please forgive any repetition or ignorance on my part here - if United stay amateurish (ie not facilitating a move away) in their dealings with Pogba and his agent, they’ll have to keep him until his contract ends. and, if Pogba is with us next season, any move for Grealish will be cancelled, as they essentially play a similar position? Guessing they wouldn’t spend huge sums on Grealish to let him rotate with Pogba.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously this is not what I said. I will reaffirm that Manchester United would like to recruit Grealish - I have been explaining this for months. Pogba wishes to leave as I have also explained for a long time. There is no longer a relationship with his agent - otherwise the situation with Haaland could be very different. The opportunity to sell Pogba for a good fee has gone. There remains the chance to exchange him - selling him would bring in a lot less money - and over a period of time, not immediately. It is not a good job of running the business is it?}


4.) 01 May 2020 21:57:28
Thanks Ed002, I think I finally get it (Sorry to be so slow and to waste your time spelling it out! )

Thank you as always for taking the time to keep us informed and for educating us about what’s really going on.

Take care and stay well.

{Ed002's Note - You are a Manchester United supporter, you are bound to be slow Wallace.}


5.) 01 May 2020 22:05:24
I’ll take that on the chin Ed002, no doubt deserved lol!

{Ed002's Note - You are a good girl.}


6.) 01 May 2020 22:31:06
Bit of luck the amatures will have pogba and grealish in the team next season.


7.) 02 May 2020 13:33:05
I don't think pogba and grealish play in the same position so worse things could happen.
But if pogba wants to leave i don't see the point in making him stay going into the final year of his contract. Very few players are forced to stay somewhere and then go on to play their best.


8.) 02 May 2020 16:26:06
But what if a good enough cash offer doesn't come in?

Also player exchange deals have historically been tough to do. Hard to find players that want to play for us in the premier league, want to come to manchester, won't ask for extraordinary wages.

Real reportedly offered a small sum plus james rodriguez last summer.

Barca reportedly offered a small sum plus andres gomes and yerry mina the summer before.

Would any poster on this forum accepted those rumoured offers at the time?

Maybe another premier league side could come in, that would be wishful thinking.


9.) 02 May 2020 17:41:25
Do we not have an option of an other year?
Why does he want to leave?


10.) 02 May 2020 18:49:20
There is an option for a further year. i'm sure of that.
Why does he want to leave? No idea jred. i'd imagine its a variety of reasons.


11.) 02 May 2020 19:34:36
So he has 2 year left on his contract.
With out knowing why he wants to leave how can you know it can't be resolved?


12.) 02 May 2020 20:49:26
Jred, I don't know if you have seen this before but the Ed's have explained that we cannot just activate the one year extension to either increase how much we sell him for or to make sure we get a fee next summer. That is considered profiteering.

He has one year on his contact our options are sell him this summer for something.

Or let him leave for free next year or the year after.


13.) 02 May 2020 21:01:43
Shappy or we keep him for 2 year.
Or sell at exmas or he signs a new contract.
Also I don't think you have the profiteering thing 100% right.

{Ed002's Note - Clubs are not allowed to profiteer from pre-agreed contract extensions.}


14.) 02 May 2020 21:16:50
So if we extend pogbas contract we can't sell him next summer.

{Ed002's Note - Not and profiteer.}


15.) 02 May 2020 21:20:01
We sold both blind and berbatov after activating an extra year.

{Ed002's Note - Not and profiteered.}


16.) 02 May 2020 22:12:29
So how do you sell a player and not profiteer.
What conditions can you sell him under as united have in the past activated an extra year in a players contract then sold him.

{Ed002's Note - Players can be sold but the club cannot use the extension to sell and profiteer - the distribution of the money does not go the club alone. The rules exist to stop such practice.}


17.) 02 May 2020 23:09:00
So we could still sell pogba next summer if we extend his contract.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, but not profiteer.}


18.) 03 May 2020 12:33:17
He doesn't have 2 years left on his contract. He has 1 year left on his contract.
The club have an opt-in if triggering an extension.
That would not be as financially beneficial than if we sell him before triggering the option.
If a player does not want to stay and we trigger the option then the club cannot profiteer on the sale.
I think he either had to sign a new contract or be sold / traded in the summer.
If he signs a new contract them i can only assume he wants to stay and be committed.
If he doesn't sign a new contract then we need to get rid at the best terms available.
Its really that simple.
If a player wants out its usually best to let them go.


19.) 03 May 2020 19:33:47
Jred, Why are u so desperate for us to keep him. He isn't worth the grief and he isn't even that good as what people make him out to be.

Its like your trying to chase a girl even though u know u have no chance.

Move on and find a better player or a player that is atleast commited to playing for us.


20.) 04 May 2020 11:28:56
Singh i'm not desperate, bit like last summer I'm just not convinced he will leave.
Singh I said from the start he wasn't the player yourself and many others made him out to be, but he is a good player. Probably a better player than your now trying to make him out to be.


21.) 04 May 2020 13:05:17
Perhaps if he can't play and can't move he can work in the megastore
then he could sign al the shirts with his name on and generate some income for the club. Just a thought.


22.) 04 May 2020 13:06:19
I have no grievance with Pogba being sold. I would rather the club take a loss financially (lower fee) than accept players deemed not good enough from the clubs interested in him. I know it won't be possible, but the Club should be in a position to pick which player/ players that they want instead of having players they have no interest in forced (for lack of a better word) upon them. It's better to get players who genuinely want to play for the club and improve it than players who view us a step down because of our current predicament.

hey ed002,

I hope you are keeping well, i'm just windering in your opinion how would you go about fixing the problems of the amateurs etc at unuted? thanks.

{Ed002's Note - REmove those making decisions and appoint a decent Direc tor of Football and a high-end coach.}

2.) 03 Aug 2020 09:08:35
Ooooooo Ed002, dangerous territory you treading into there. Say anything but no no not the coach. No no please.


3.) 03 Aug 2020 15:16:33
Yeah, definitely get rid of Solksjaer. He's rubbish, don't you think?


4.) 03 Aug 2020 18:26:03
Ed002 talks sense and I agree with him, for me I don’t think Ole can take us to the next level. The club will stand by him but I think we will be sat here this time next year saying, next season will be our season. Where did I hear that from?


 

 

26 Apr 2020 23:21:05
Hey ed002,

Just a quick question, you mentioned on the spurs page that mauricio pochettino wanted maddison at spurs but the interest has now gone since he left but could return if he got a new job? any idea who that might be? thank you as always ed002.

DHfitness20

{Ed002's Note - It would rather depend where he ended up and what the budget available is. Leicester are no needing to sell and they would want a bunch of money.}
