Morning ed002, hope you're well. Do you know if we have approached Brentford with an offer for toney?
{Ed002's Note - Ivan Toney (S) Brentford do not want to sell but are aware Toney may look to move up a step and will reluctantly look to perhaps £70M as a sale price in the summer - but will likely not get anything close to that. It would be driven by situation which could see him run down his contract next season and leave as a Free Agent - so Brentford will seek a new contract. Newcastle no longer offer the chance of a return to the club who previously could find no use for him in the three years he was there. Arsenal, Leeds, Manchester United, Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham have all sent scouts on more than one occasion to watch him prior to his ban, but all have preferred options. Was first choice for Arsenal but that has disappeared as the price has not dropped to around £40M - but if it does they may well look again. Middle East Al-Qadsiah will be one option. Aston Villa are losing Duran and could look to him.}

Think I’d prefer Duran myself….
2.) 18 Aug 2024 15:11:21
Cheers Ed ?.
3.) 18 Aug 2024 16:07:54
I'd far prefer Rasmus Hojlund.
4.) 18 Aug 2024 20:30:03
I like a bit of Fleetwood Mac myself.
5.) 19 Aug 2024 08:07:21
A lot of money when we have Hojlund and Zirkee. A player that I thought about as a senior striker who scored at the weekend who I wouldn’t mind testing the water for would be Welbeck. United fan and been through the academy. You’d think he’d be prepared to come in as a squad player and support Hojlund and Zirkee. Got good experience and I imagine wouldn’t cost a lot and is still scoring goals in the Premier League.
6.) 19 Aug 2024 09:54:44
Welbeck would be great around the place, ports but like quite a few other ex players, he was hurt with the way he felt united treated him. I doubt he would come back.
10 Aug 2024 13:29:51
De ligt and mazroaui agreed ?.
1.) 10 Aug 2024 16:08:30
Ten Hag getting the band back together.
2.) 10 Aug 2024 18:03:41
We can play in ajax kits as long as we do well for all I care .
25 Jul 2024 18:43:07
Evening Ed, hope you are well, just wondered if the club had any interest in Morgan gibby White? Cheers ?.
{Ed002's Note - Yes the club see him as one option but there is very serious interest from Spurs. Newcastle have likely moved on.}
1.) 25 Jul 2024 19:35:11
Like him. Works hard and has an eye for a pass.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 08:10:11
I'm a fan - think he'd be a great fit.
3.) 26 Jul 2024 11:06:47
I like him, he's a great player to have in your squad, a talented swiss army knife of a player. Good going forward, technical, hard worker and can play almost anywhere. RW, LW, CAM, CM, wing back and even CF.
That said I don't see us seriously making a move for him. He cost Forest 30m two years ago and has only improved while there. He'll still have 3 years on his deal, if not more if it's been extended. I'd imagine they'd demand 50m plus for him.
While he's a great player to have in your squad, I'm not sure he's quite at that level to be first choice for a team aiming for major honours. So I'm not sure the club could justify spending the sort of money he'll cost to mostly be a backup/ bench option player.
4.) 26 Jul 2024 13:59:16
Better play than Mount. I wouldn't be against bringing back Andreas Pereira back if we were to bring in an advanced midfielder, has improved significantly at Fulham and looks to moving on this summer with Atletico interested.
5.) 27 Jul 2024 18:29:45
Only reason Pereira has stood out at Fulham is because he’s surrounded by rubbish.
22 Aug 2023 21:04:05
Hi Ed, are you aware if we have enquired after Marco varratti?
Cheers ?.
{Ed002's Note - Team Mino have been offering him around. Chelsea and Bayern Munich are concerned that €60M for a 30 year old may not be good value for money. Manchester United see a potential solution to a growing midfield issue they need to address. Else, the Middle East offers the player som financially attractive option.}
1.) 22 Aug 2023 22:39:50
I hope we stay away.
He’s 30 and we have better value for money getting graverberch and amrabat for less money.
2.) 22 Aug 2023 23:12:41
it would be another piece of stupidity if we do this.
3.) 23 Aug 2023 08:16:55
You know this deal is going to happen now.
4.) 23 Aug 2023 06:16:09
Thanks Ed ? still think he is a very good player.
Fee seems very high though ?♂️.
5.) 23 Aug 2023 10:05:42
Ed02 - would this be an alternative to Amrabat? Whilst I've always thought Veratti is a good player, it seems like a very short-sighted move again.
Are there any younger CMs we're actively looking at Ed02? I can remember Kone and Khéphren Thuram being mentioned in previous posts, but all seems to have gone quiet on both of them.
{Ed002's Note - Veratti plays as a DM, Amrabat doesn't.}
6.) 23 Aug 2023 10:30:45
Deano
Good player but backwards stuff. buying 30/ 31 year olds on probably paying massive wages is not forward planning imo.
We should be buying younger imo. Besides RVP can't remember any of these deals in the past working out well for us.
We already took the plunge on cas and would like to think we have a plan to buy a young dm who eventually takes over from him down the road.
7.) 23 Aug 2023 12:45:35
Great player. I don't think every signing needs to be one for the future. Need a blend of experience alongside them.
8.) 23 Aug 2023 13:20:05
Forget the fee. Bite and experience is exactly what we need right now. We are so mentally weak, and only a Cas/ Martinez injury or suspension away from a bad run of form.
We also have the CL to navigate which is a much bigger challenge to last season. Veratti improves our first XI, I’d welcome him with open arms.
9.) 23 Aug 2023 14:04:09
Excellent player but does tend to pick and choose what games he plays at PSG, not sure why fans on here worry about age and cost one minute then next minute moan there is no leaders in team, your not going to be a 20 year leader and walk in at united and lead!
Let’s be fair to mention Veratti and arambet in same breath is a joke plus they play different positions, if Arambet ever becomes half as good as Veratti, he needs to get on with it!
10.) 23 Aug 2023 16:46:00
Nope United need to stop buying names because available and start forward planning. Even the Cas signing 70 million and another 100 million in wages for a player who will not be worthbit across the second half of his contract. The cash tied uo in deals like this hurt us rebuilding or building if you look were we were from.
Someone needs to get a grip of this, bring in a top sporting directir with clear vision allied to Ten Hags and start making sensible decisions.
I am big fan of what Cas did last year but i still believe long term it was the wrong choice.
11.) 23 Aug 2023 19:15:42
Wazza……only a Cas injury or suspension away from a bad run of form!? I’m hoping he gets a red to be honest….
07 Jul 2023 19:36:19
Hey Ed, happy weekend! Any truth in this greenwood to atalanta story?

Nothing in this world like being a united fan ?.
1.) 18 Apr 2025 02:07:56
Incredible scenes. It is still there, deep down in our veins. Never beaten, just sometimes we run out of time. We were dead on the floor and we came back to life, what a game.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 05:14:39
Well then, there goes my plan to make fun of you lot ;) But in all honesty, it was a great game to watch.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 07:00:14
In his last three games where we have won, it’s been Maguire scoring the winning goal.
We often criticise the mental strength of these players, but the likes of Maguire and Zirkzee who have been ridiculed at times by our supporters, have shown the fortitude to fight back and deliver, something which we should applaud.
4.) 18 Apr 2025 07:14:30
100% with you on that grim. To be stripped of the captaincy and practically pushed towards the exit, and still sit and be called upon when needed, no crying or calling the club out. Harry has some mental fortitude it has to be said. And a bFk 3 suits him much more.
5.) 18 Apr 2025 08:57:59
Grim, whatever faults Maguire has as a footballer, lack of mental fortitude is not one of them.
That guy has always stood up to be counted, he has never hidden or shirked from a set back.
I for one respect that.

RIP the lawman ❤️.

Absolutely made up that bruno signs a new deal ? ???.
1.) 11 Aug 2024 21:06:38
I’m not.
2.) 11 Aug 2024 23:24:50
He’s our best player g nev and has been for years
Do not get the hate from our own fans in Bruno
Yeah he might whinge and throw his hands about but make no mistake he’s the only class player we have in the team
Our most creative player and he does a lot of defending.
3.) 11 Aug 2024 23:57:22
I wouldn't have been bothered if Bruno left. He is no captain either. nie I'm not bothered that we kept him.
4.) 12 Aug 2024 01:10:45
I would not have signed him to a new deal, the money we spend today and o wr the next three years affectation transfers and getting the right people in.
I love Bruno as a player but he isn't going to help us win a league, we are 5 years away, a new deal cripples the deals we can make over the next 5 years.
5.) 12 Aug 2024 06:09:31
Vital he signed. Another step in the right direction. Optimistic about the season, if we can keep most of them out the treatment room.
6.) 12 Aug 2024 06:30:42
How so Oakbark? Clearly we need good players who are going to move us up the ladder. It isn’t a case of selling everyone over 28 and buying a load of 24 year olds. We still have fixtures to play before 2029.
7.) 12 Aug 2024 06:37:40
Thats not exactly how things work, Oakbark.
Sure, we might not win it, but we still have to get CL, and if Bruno can help us do that, then he is absolutely needed. If we are going to challenge in 5 years, as you say, we need to be a club who at least plays CL every year, otherwise, we will have to throw money at players so they would join us.
Also, we can sell Bruno in those 5 years, if needed. But for now, this is a great choice!
8.) 12 Aug 2024 09:51:06
He is consistently near the top of the list of players who create goals and chances. By far our best creative player. He works hard and is rarely injured. We definitely need him.
9.) 12 Aug 2024 17:30:20
Bruno is not a character I've warmed to.
However he is a very good player and as stated above he creates a lot of chances.
You can't deny his stats which are good.
It seems sensible at this time to voice him a new deal despite his age.
Not overjoyed personally but not put out or disappointed either.
10.) 12 Aug 2024 17:42:27
The proof of the pudding will be in the results of the next few years and where we end up, then we can judge whether that was the best use of the money.
11.) 12 Aug 2024 19:39:10
He was extended a year which would take him into his 30’s, 33 to be exact. With a hefty pay rise. We came 8th last season, not one of those players deserve a pay rise it’s quite frankly bad timing and a joke. He has 2 years left which by that point he’d be almost 32, on the verge of being useless and there would be no sell on fee anyway due to his age.
12.) 13 Aug 2024 06:29:35
No it wont, Oakbark, since it doesn't all depend on Bruno. He can bang 15 goals and add 15 assists per season, but we still might not win anything, because it never depends on just one player.
Also, you can't know if we sold Bruno and brought in another player, how would that player fit in and would he bring us results.
18 Jul 2024 17:06:53
Yoro deal completed, according to fab ? fabulous signing and another step toward how the club should be ran ??.
22 Sep 2024 19:32:24
Ork, your use of vocabulary delights me ???.

I'd have sold pellestri for 6 million rupees tbf.

We can play in ajax kits as long as we do well for all I care .
15 Jul 2024 21:05:34
Have scoured the Web and can't find anything even suggesting it might be done?
18 Apr 2025 22:53:12
I actually think that might be the real Gary Neville!
18 Apr 2025 22:51:16
I'll say it again . Our best player by a country mile.
{Ed025's Note - dead right he is Deano, to be fair he is the only player in the team who would get in one of the top sides mate...harsh but true..
18 Apr 2025 10:18:27
Spot on ed, history is kind to winners . In the poignant words of Dominic Torreto. " It doesn't matter if you win by an inch, or a mile. Winning is winning. " ??.
{Ed025's Note - exactly Deano..
18 Apr 2025 09:10:47
In 20 years I won't remember this season. I won't remember conceding 4 goals at home against Lyon. I won't remember all the ex players and fans slagging their own club to hell and back. In twenty years I will remember one of the most incredible games of football I've ever seen, I will remember the feeling when mags got the winner, I remember thousands of people going absolutely mental. What a night.
{Ed025's Note - i think your spot on Deano, do you think Liverpool supporters remember the pathetic performance in the first half against Milan in the 2005 CL cup final?...no they call it the "miracle of Istanbul" mate, its been very lean times of late at Old Trafford so these are nights that should be celebrated imo..
03 Apr 2025 13:02:11
Couldn't agree more, Shaw ?.
