Another one bites the dust!
Maxi Oyedele has completed his permanent transfer to Legia Warsaw. He is a Polish U21 Int, (his mother is Polish) so should have no issue in settling.
Don't know fee, but is based on appearances, a high sell on clause, initially 50%, we have matching fee rights and a buy back option.
Who will be going tomorrow!
1.) 22 Aug 2024 18:04:05
I actually like this new approach to the academy players. If there isn't a clear pathway for them then let them go and don't hold them back. But keep your finger in the pie with a buyback clause or a large sell on fee.
People questioning the smaller fees we get right now won't complain when we either get to bring back a top young player for a reasonable fee, or when we get extra millions added to the transfer budget because a former player has moved to another club.
For too long we've stagnanted the development of our own youngsters by not knowing what to do with them once they are too good for academy football.
Either there is no pathway into the first team for them, or they aren't ready for it. So we keep them in the under 23's and they stop improving and developing.
We need a better loan network, and a better structure to support them in the leap from youth football to professional football.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 18:42:45
You mean “an approach” shappy. I don’t think you can call the running of the academy over the last decade any sort of approach.
3.) 22 Aug 2024 22:06:45
Good Post shappy.
{Ed025's Note - his short ones always are Ken, its the ones that are longer than "War and Peace" that let him down mate, hes a very good poster.. :)
4.) 23 Aug 2024 08:36:58
He is a good poster imo ed025 but more waffle than birds eye on many an occasion.
{Ed025's Note - i really like the guy ken and he is very good literally and must spend a lot of time doing these posts, i must say though i tend to skip the really long ones mate, sorry Shappy..
5.) 24 Aug 2024 11:32:04
I probably know him better then anybody on here and I can tell you he is a good guy for a fact.
21 Aug 2024 17:13:04
Further to my post of last night, the deal for Pellistri has been completed.
As I said, 6m euros upfront, additional 2m in extras. It seems there is a 3 year buy back option along with a substantial 45% sell on clause.
Seems a decent deal for all, wish him all the best for his future and hope he makes it.
Talk of Will Fish to Cardiff this week, could see quite a few deals in next 10 day's.
1.) 21 Aug 2024 18:00:56
I think we'll see a deal for Ugarte by Monday, while I doubt we'll see any other incomings unless we have a significant departure. The club seem pretty set on only buying good long term options. No more short term fixes.
In terms of departures I expect we'll see quite a few leave before the window slams shut.
Already see the likes of Martial, Varane, Shoretire, Williams, McNeil and Forson leave on free deals, while Amrabat's option wasn't taken up.
That's seven out straight off the jump.
We've also sold Donny, Alvaro Fernandez, Pellistri, Kambwala, AWB and Greenwood.
Meaning we are up to 13 permanent departures already. While Vitek and Hugill have also left on loan.
Between now and the end of the window any/ all of Lindelof, Eriksen, McTominay, Hannibal, Gore, and Sancho either permanently or on loan. I think three, maybe four of these 6 leave this summer.
Which brings us to a maximum of 19 potential permanent departures (13 already confirmed) .
While a raft of youngsters are expected to head out on loan to gain first team experience. Players like Fish, Bennett, Murray, Oyedele, McAllister, Ethan Williams, Ennis, Missin, and maybe even Ethan Wheatley all possible candidates to join Vitek and Hugill out on loan.
2.) 21 Aug 2024 18:10:01
When you put it out like that shappy. That is some amount of exits in one window.
They are not messing about.
3.) 21 Aug 2024 18:48:04
Angel, they are clearing the decks, players who hardly contribute, and youngsters who they don't think will make it (or who need more game time than we can offer to develop) are being sold.
Ultimately they are players who cost the club far more than they contribute to the first team. While they also make is particularly difficult for youngsters to get the chances they need to succeed at the club.
13 leaving on permanent deals, with as many at possibly 19 by the end of the window (realistically 16-17).
2 players out on loan, with probably another 5 or 6 to join them no doubt. Meaning another 7 to 8 players out on loan hopefully getting game time.
That literally maybe 25 players leaving either permanently or on loan this summer.
We've signed 5 players (Mazraoui, MdL, Yoro, Zirkzee and Obi Martin), probably 6 with Ugarte, while players like Collyer, Amass and Wheatley have been added to the first team squad for depth.
Whichever way you cut it that's a massive clear out and squad turn over.
With the club still reportedly interested in adding another CB (left sided), a LB, at least one if not two midfielders AFTER Ugarte and maybe a forward/ winger all by the end of next summer's transfer window. Another 4 or 5 players, with probably a couple of academy lads also added to the first team.
While departures will still be on going, any of the 6 mentioned above who don't leave this summer will certainly leave next summer.
Then you have the likes of Shaw, Maguire, Malacia, Casemiro, Antony and possibly Rashford all potentially up for the chop next summer.
This time next summer our squad won't be recognisable from the one that was here when INEOS took over.
4.) 21 Aug 2024 19:19:47
It's mad how cheap we have sold some of these players for. Pellestri at 6 million euros is crazy, I know we have a buy back and healthy sell on fee, but he is a full international player for a decent side in Uruguay.
You have players from other top sides going for silly money in comparison to the peanuts we are selling some of our players for.
5.) 21 Aug 2024 19:53:06
Shappy, Maxi Oyedele is moving to Poland on a full transfer, also Will Fish is going to Cardiff (if deal finalised) on a full transfer.
No loans there.
There seems to be a clear plan of action, if it's felt a player has no long term future at the club then move them on. A refreshing change.
6.) 21 Aug 2024 20:29:56
I agree the number of players out is important, and they are working hard to make that happen (in some cases with both hands tied behind their backs due to book value and stupid wages) . I would not class letting players contracts run out for no fee, the same as agreeing a sell in fee. These are not the same.
Jnfirtjnately, some of our toxic contracts (not players, contracts) we may have to wait till they have all run out for no sell on fee. Another stunning glazer legacy.
7.) 22 Aug 2024 08:35:34
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a number of the following go by the end of the window Lindelof, Eriksen, McTominay, Sancho, Casemiro, Maguire and Rashford. We have 8 days to go, the last week is normally where you start seeing deals come out of nowhere.
8.) 22 Aug 2024 11:08:51
@Danny you're right, the money we get for some players is very little, but I don't think it's because of incompetence with Ashforth etc. I think it reflects the prices we paid for some individuals and the high salaries we pay even relatively junior players. When e. g. Pellistri goes to Greece, even on his earnings as a junior player at Utd he would be in top 10% in the league so hard to find teams who will take him, and harder still to find a team who can afford him. Pity, as he's a decent player - just a little but physically lightweight for EPL (and I've heard he doesn't always apply himself in training) . I think the same problem is magnified for e. g. Sancho for whom we paid a high fee, and is a big earner. When he is in the mood and in form he is a very good player indeed, but not many clubs would want to match his salary so we need to discount that a little to secure a sale. It will take a year or so to clear all of those issues from the squad (Sancho, Antony and to a lesser extent Casemiro and Eriksen who are excellent professionals, but were given overlong contracts at high salaries given their ages and stage in their career) .
9.) 22 Aug 2024 13:19:13
At least Phil a bit of common sense and understanding.
20 Aug 2024 16:47:47
Look's like Pellistri off to Panathinaikos for 6m euros, along with a sell on clause. Probably as good as could be expected. All amounts to the pot gratefully received.
Also Maxi Oyedele in talks with Legia Warsaw, who are keen to get a deal done. Right thing for him to do, don't see him getting opportunities at O. T. he is behind Toby Collyer so him trying to get his career moving is a good thing, suspect will be small fee with significant sell on clause, maybe buy back option.
This is the type of thing that previously would not be happening, this shows things are moving in the right way.
No deal yet done for Ugarte, think we are in a game of chicken that could go to deadline day. We have to decide whether we are serious or not about not overpaying for players, however much they are needed.
I think that we have to be resolute to get credibility back.
1.) 20 Aug 2024 17:27:27
Historically we’ve always lost the game of transfer window chicken and ended up spending way over the odds on deadline day.
I’d imagine the new regime are better than that. Guess we will find out in around 11 days time.
2.) 20 Aug 2024 17:43:04
Exactly Fallguy, precisely why we have to be resolute.
3.) 20 Aug 2024 18:38:28
I’m not sure how we’ve managed to sell Pellistri for 6 million Euro’s, a player who’s played in a World Cup, whilst the scousers have managed to offload Lee Clark’s lad for 10……. ?♂️.
4.) 20 Aug 2024 19:46:58
Strange that Pellistri is out before Antony.
5.) 20 Aug 2024 20:26:46
At first glance it looks low but there must be a reason why there is a lack of interest and can't be his wages. Personally never though he would make it at united and heard the rest of the squad saw him as a light weight.
No outstanding traits, pace, technical ability, passing, crossing, goals, assists or physical presence. Decent in something but nothing to get your attention. he did himself no favors on the loan stints and actually lost value.
6.) 20 Aug 2024 21:02:54
And to further your point Ahmad it’s a Greek side after him, and not even the best one, not the top sides in the other European leagues. He’s just not that good.
7.) 20 Aug 2024 21:23:17
It seems we started out asking for 12-15m for Facundo but have settled for 6m which is just the base fee, seemingly there are extra's on top though don't know how much. Ultimately if no one comes forward with a better deal, then we have to go with it or keep the player, the time has come for him to move on.
Kurtis, don't think for a second Antony will leave this summer, who on earth is going to come forward with a deal anywhere close to acceptable.
Fireman, have seen players at a world cup wouldn't give twenty quid for.
8.) 20 Aug 2024 21:48:32
I'd have sold pellestri for 6 million rupees tbf.
9.) 20 Aug 2024 21:51:04
His wages are too high it's not rocket science.
10.) 21 Aug 2024 06:25:39
He is on 20k a week. Its not his current wage.
11.) 21 Aug 2024 07:02:05
The lad is getting some stick yet his only crime is that our scouts decided he was good enough to play for Manchester United.
He always tried and was never seen throwing his arms in the air or moping around the pitch, like others who earn fifteen times his salary yet barely manage to jog.
I'm sure there's a sell-on clause in there if recent sales are anything to go by. Good luck to the lad. I hope he does well.
12.) 21 Aug 2024 07:39:28
We bought him for €8.5m, got loan fees from Alaves and Granada, I don't think we have done too bad on this deal considering he never made it at United.
13.) 21 Aug 2024 09:31:55
Bit like casimero wazza but he gets a lot of stick of some.
14.) 21 Aug 2024 09:30:47
Ahmad he earns £27k basic a week rising to £31k so approx €36k per week which would put him in top 10% or earners in that league and most leagues outside the top 5 so his wages are a big issue. Clubs can't afford the fees and wages. Something has to give and that is usually the fee.
15.) 21 Aug 2024 12:11:23
Pellistri and Casemiro are very different players, what a strange comparison.
16.) 21 Aug 2024 14:38:19
Wazza
I was not taking a pop at him. He is not that good if we are being honest and no one in top 5 leagues came in for him. Even the next tier of Dutch, Belgian and Turkish leagues a transfer fee of 10 mill and his current wage would not be an issue if they thought he was worth it, reality is they did not.
Him going might be news but his agent probably knew for months and knocked on many doors as they all do, so teams knew he was available and we were willing sellers. He is going to be 23 come December and for wingers you either have it or don't.
Hope he does really well and gets a bigger move and we see a better return.
17.) 21 Aug 2024 14:45:01
I didn't compare them as players wazza. I compared the stick they get from fans.
You give casimero stick and a lot of it which is your opinion and fine but then don't pull up others for criticising casimero. It's just their opinion they are allowed an opinion on pillistri like you are on casimero.
You refer to pellistri's 'only crime same can be said of casimero.
18.) 21 Aug 2024 17:04:13
Ken, Casemiro arrived for a huge fee, is on huge wages, and has a stacked trophy cabinet. Therefore more is expected of him and he becomes more open to criticism. Pellistri arrived for a small fee, he had little expectations. Good luck to him and I hope he makes an impact at his next club.
The one thing that both Casemiro and Pellistri have in common is that neither have really worked out. That's where the comparison ends imo.
11 Aug 2024 17:25:12
Ed002, if I could ask, have seen a number of reports saying that we may bid for Evan Ferguson of Brighton. Is there any truth in this?
{Ed002's Note - Evan Ferguson (S) Maybe an offer from Newcastle will eventually happen but they have other targets. Spurs are trying to offer a structured way forward for the player who needs to stay where he is for a while and with Brighton having agreed a new contract which places him out of bounds for some years whilst the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea look on. Won't move this summer unless a huge offer is made.}
1.) 11 Aug 2024 21:19:33
Much obliged Ed. Agree he is best staying where he is for a while longer.
2.) 12 Aug 2024 11:55:54
Had a great breakout season, but then had a more tricky second season which isn't uncommon for young players.
Personally I think he still needs a couple more years at Brighton before stepping up to a bigger club with greater expectations.
3.) 12 Aug 2024 14:36:09
Agree Shappy, didn't he have injury problems last season as well.
4.) 12 Aug 2024 16:42:20
He was home over the weekend he was in the house but I wasn't there to twist his arm.
One of the boys got a scholarship to the States and he came back to surprise him.
The lads asked him and he knew nothing about any move. (Or so he said) he had surgery last season on his ankle (minor) so I highly doubt he will move this summer.
5.) 12 Aug 2024 17:12:41
He is at the right club for him at this stage, hope he stays at least one ideally two more years.
07 Aug 2024 15:49:41
It seems Obi-Martin has completed his medical with us, but there will be a delay until the club can announce the signing.
It will take time as it will be subject to PL 5 steps investigation, but all set to be signed. (yeh, no idea either, suppose they want to be sure we have not kidnapped him! )
1.) 07 Aug 2024 17:10:01
Have had a look and it seems as follows,
Step 1: The new club submits a signed registration form to the Premier League.
Step 2: The Premier League appoints an independent third party (usually a law firm) to conduct “exit interviews” with the player, parents and both clubs. However, further interviews or requests for information are also permitted.
Step 3: The two clubs involved in the agreement, including the player’s parents, are required to sign a declaration that no financial or value-in-kind inducements have been utilised as a part of the move (including contra deals) .
Step 4: Through the independent third party, a report is then produced for the Premier League’s board, coming up with a recommendation regarding the club’s application to register the player.
Step 5: The Premier League’s board can either approve or reject the registration application. They also have the autonomy to take disciplinary against the club if they were found to breach their youth development rules.
Understand they want to ensure all rules have been correctly followed, takes about 3-4 weeks apparently so just have to wait.
2.) 08 Aug 2024 11:30:00
IWOTB,
Fantastic insight mate, thanks for that info, had no idea.
3.) 08 Aug 2024 14:00:26
Quite welcome GDS mate, seemingly this process takes place when every transfer involving an academy player between two Category One academies goes through.
It makes sense when you think about it, as there needs to be adequate protection for kid's, clearly there is potential for skulduggery!
Everton for example, were handed a two-year academy ban in November 2018 and a fine of £500,000 ($608,000) for offering incentives to a player and his family.
In 2017, Manchester City were fined £300,000 ($365,000) and also banned from signing academy players for two years after the Premier League found evidence of contact between City staff and family members. Incidentally, in that same month, Liverpool were deemed to have breached similar rules when offering inducements to a Stoke City player and subsequently banned from recruiting in the academy for 12 months. They were also fined £100,000 ($122,000).
Just as an aside I looked at one of the Arsenal fanzines to see what they think of this transfer, they think they are better off without him! as they think he is clearly being used by his handlers to make a quick buck at the detriment of his career, bitter and twisted or what. Never mind Arsenal gave 13 mins of playing time to teenagers last season and we gave 2,898 mins and clearly he is coming to us as he knows he will get opportunities and will benefit his career.
Would love it if he get's a game against them and he scores a hat trick.
4.) 08 Aug 2024 19:26:42
IWOTB, I’m not surprised to hear that’s the Arsenal fans view. Their players are the best in the world, until they leave and then they become the worse players in the world. Total extremists. If this lad was staying they’d be raving about him.
United track record when it comes to youth is much better than Arsenal’s.

The U18s have started the season well again, last week away to City, in league, and won 2-0.
Midweek away to Leicester in PL Cup, won 2-1.
Earlier today home against Liverpool, in league, won 2-0 and that score flattered L'pool.
In each of the 3 games Biancheri has scored and he also came on last night as late sub for U21s away at Blackburn and yep, he scored for them, (U21s have won 3 of 4 games played)
What has been impressive is the performance levels all round, been some excellent football and goals, Jack Fletcher scored a superb 30 yarder for U21s against Barnsley in cup game.
All of this shows how well the Academy is performing and if we can get a reasonable supply of talent making it to the first team, of the right quality, Kobbie and Nacho type, then I think it can make a difference to the first team mentality, having that club association from an early age.
Also needs to be remembered that we have made a number of, hopefully, quality additions this summer, so this seems to be one area of the club that is operating very successfully.
Clearly we now need the first team to be operating at the same level. I remain optimistic.
1.) 01 Sep 2024 04:40:55
We have trimmed down the squad which might hopefully see a number of the under 18s be given an opportunity. Biancheri seems an obvious choice as he is a natural finisher, something we have lacked of the last few years.
30 Aug 2024 19:46:42
Club have announced Sekou Kone signing has been completed.
Still no news on Ugarte, what's going on here.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 20:29:11
Wouldn't panic on ugarte. Mctom is now finalised so expect that will lead to ugarte announcement shortly.
But looks like we are stuck with cas, lindelof ,sancho and eriksen despite the more optimistic posters claims of at least 3 of those going and expecting 2 or 3 in.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 20:38:35
I was getting a little worried over the Ugarte deal bearing in mind personal terms were reported as greed weeks ago. But I’m guessing the club were waiting on McTominay deal completing before confirming Ugarte. Just a guess though.
The McT deal is now confirmed and completed so I’m sure it will be announced any minute.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 20:50:33
I expect they’ll announce it right at the end of the window so that us fans can feel as though we got a deadline day deal. I mean, it technically is a deadline day deal, even if it was seemingly agreed days ago.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 21:49:23
Well, there we are then.
Club have announced the official signing of Ugarte on a 5 year contract with the option of an additional year.
Welcome to the club Manuel, hope your stay is successful and trophy laden, if you have to let a few people know you are around, then so be it!
28 Aug 2024 12:53:46
The club have announced the permanent transfer of Hannibal to Burnley, £5.4 m up front with possible £4m in extras.
There is a 50% sell on clause and matching rights.
Really am impressed by these sales of academy/ young players who are best serving their careers by moving on for full time playing. Also the deals have been negotiated in a way that best serves the club, long term.
Am looking forward to reviewing the window in it's entirety, when the window is finally closed in a couple of day's.
1.) 28 Aug 2024 14:13:36
We have to take into account the €5million we paid for him. But given his disaster on loan last season, and his short fuse, I’m just glad we were able to get rid before he got into a training ground fist fight.
2.) 28 Aug 2024 18:18:12
he may be a late bloomer in his mid twenties. hope he does well and regular championship games should help him, needs to tone it down on the pitch as he tackles borderline red cards for me.
3.) 28 Aug 2024 19:30:27
The transfer business has been conducted well in my eyes.
Compared to last few years, we have managed to get money in, where previously we have failed to do so.
A few left as free agents and others were sold.
Talks of interest in lindelof and eriksen, and if somehow both got sold.
Sancho, I hope we sell him permanently with good add-ons than do another temporary loan. Take the loss and move on.
Really hope we get a LB in, if lindelof, eriksen and sancho get off the wage bill.
23 Aug 2024 20:15:44
And so it continues, Will Fish has completed his permanent transfer to Cardiff City.
We get £1m up front and another £3m in extras, also a 30% sell on clause.
If all these players with big sell on clauses come good and get big moves, we will get a good future income stream! Mind you the academy changing rooms are going to be half empty!
14 Aug 2024 20:31:57
So, the club have announced that both Harry Amass and Ethan Wheatley have been officially added to the first team squad, Toby Collyer is already a member.
This is excellent news going forward that we, in a few years time, could have a first team boasting 4 or 5 academy players of quality.
I have posted a number of times previously about Harry Amass and really do think he has what it takes to become a top player, also thought Toby Collyer looked comfortable against City and is another one who has that look of quality.
That gives us a first team squad of 32 players, 13 less than the 45 of Chelsea! I fully expect that 32 to reduce before the end of the month.
Been announced that Bruno has signed his new contract, until 2027, with option of an additional year.
Hannibal has submitted a transfer request, believe both Rangers and Celtic are interested, hope he get's it sorted quickly and starts playing regularly, much the best for his career. What a great name to have!
1.) 14 Aug 2024 22:52:14
I'd be surprised if Lindelof, Eriksen, Hannibal and Pellistri are still part of the first team squad when the window slams shut.
Which takes us down to 28.
While I wouldn't be surprised to see any of Maguire, McTominay or Sancho leave either. Although I'd expect to see them replaced if they do.
Last season we had 37 players in our first team squad, bringing that down by nearly 25% is a good start to streamlining the squad.
2.) 15 Aug 2024 11:31:49
Good on the rep lads for making the squad.
Hannibal absolutely needs to go now on a perm move. Personally think a move to the championship would suit him nicely where he can build back his reputation and play regularly.
Sancho is Sancho. Just can’t see it working here for him ever. For both parties, they just need to move on. Here’s hoping the PSG interest is real.
The CB I’d sell is most definitely Lindelof. Totally unsuited to be a top defender in the EPL. He’d be great in Spain, Italy, even Germany. He may want to hang around for the last year of his contract, but he won’t play much.
3.) 15 Aug 2024 15:22:16
Linder wouldn’t be great anywhere
He is poor.
Slowly but surely we are moving these players out some will most likely leave on frees as their high wages that they are on means we are stuck
Memories of the old regime giving average players big wages
Just look how much we gave Antony and what he was on at Ajax.
I Want Our Trophy Back's rumour replies
29 Aug 2024 17:12:24
dio, you are referring to Sekou Kone, an 18 year old defensive midfielder.
He is going into the U21s, although he is considered as having very high potential and could be fast tracked if he demonstrates he can operate at the level required.
He may well need time to settle and acclimatise to a very different culture.
Manchester may well be a tad cooler than Mali! then again he might want to see a bit of snow!
22 Aug 2024 21:33:14
It seems that Christopher Vivell, new director of recruitment, has a hand in this. He previously had roles at RB Leipzig and Salzburg, apparently they have a connection with Guidars.
Time will tell if this works or not, seemingly he is a defensive midfielder.
Will be a big cultural change for the lad, wish him good luck and hope he makes it.
22 Aug 2024 14:29:39
Think Ederson is a very good player, watched him when Atalanta played in Europa league against Liverpool, he was outstanding and dominated them.
Bit surprised there has been little talk of Morten Hjulmand of Sporting, he is an excellent player and whilst not as good defensively as Ugarte, he is a complete midfielder who I would be quite happy to see at O. T.
Main thing of course is to get a premier midfielder in, would be very happy if it is Ugarte.
21 Aug 2024 19:53:06
Shappy, Maxi Oyedele is moving to Poland on a full transfer, also Will Fish is going to Cardiff (if deal finalised) on a full transfer.
No loans there.
There seems to be a clear plan of action, if it's felt a player has no long term future at the club then move them on. A refreshing change.
20 Aug 2024 21:23:17
It seems we started out asking for 12-15m for Facundo but have settled for 6m which is just the base fee, seemingly there are extra's on top though don't know how much. Ultimately if no one comes forward with a better deal, then we have to go with it or keep the player, the time has come for him to move on.

Ken, Mazraoui joined Bayern two years ago, at that time Barce were supposedly interested as well, he is very, very good going forward. His crossing is particularly good (Rasmus may start getting a good service) Defensively he is not as good, definitely not his strong point.
However, he did have a number of injury problems last season, hopefully he has overcome these and if so he could be a very good attacking addition.
Reports are that we have agreed a fee with West Ham for AWB, just his personal terms to be agreed.
