Turki alalsheik has come out overnight with a statement regarding our ownership- The best news I heard today is that Manchester United is now in an advanced stage of completing a deal to sell to a new investor - I hope he's better than the previous owners. '
Who do we think this person is? . and what happens with jim?
1.) 09 Oct 2025 09:26:37
Didn’t see your post and posted the same story. Probably bs but we can hope. Might also not be a full sale but just extra investment coming in for a percentage? Is that even possible?!
2.) 10 Oct 2025 11:53:23
Don’t see full sale whilst the glazers are still raking it in. Turki does a lot of work with The Hearns (Matchroom) . Pretty much kings of pay per view and games in Saudi on the cards. Maybe a bit out here.

Looks like elanga is off to Newcastle. I'm surprised we didn't look to bring him back, I always liked the look of him and he would fit into one of the 10s that were looking for. i'm sure we had a buy back or sell on fee so could have been an easier deal to make.
1.) 07 Jul 2025 21:28:56
He's nowhere near the level of Cunha or Mbeumo.
2.) 07 Jul 2025 22:01:36
Elanga going could help get Mbuemo over the line with the money we’ll receive.
3.) 07 Jul 2025 23:43:19
And we are nowhere near the level of Newcastle DonRed. I wonder who is better off.
4.) 08 Jul 2025 02:43:41
What are you on about Kurtis? Just a complete non sequitur.
5.) 08 Jul 2025 08:46:23
Maybe it was a non sequitur, but I think its worth asking—are we in a position to scoff at players like Elanga when we’re not even competing at Newcastle’s level?
6.) 08 Jul 2025 11:16:31
Fair point kurtis.
7.) 08 Jul 2025 12:27:44
The original question was whether we should have gone for Elanga as it would've been an easier deal. We are close to securing not just one, but two signings at similar fees that are substantially better players. If you lads want to scoff at the club then fine, but Newcastle are overpaying by a lot here.
8.) 08 Jul 2025 13:12:23
Would hardly say they overpaid. Ranked third in the league for assists, is 23 years old and let's not forget ran through our whole team to score against us. We have paid a lot more and received a lot less in the past.
9.) 08 Jul 2025 13:57:19
I agree Kurtis, but him coming back would present its own issues. He is going into a highly functional team at present and it's a better move.
We, I think have paid slightly more for 2 players that are better and we have already seen Elanga in red. It's not for everyone.
10.) 08 Jul 2025 15:49:30
Never rated him to be honest like the poster further up said he's nowhere near the quality of Cunha and Mbuemo.
11.) 08 Jul 2025 22:04:22
Decent player. He was perfect in Forest’s system. Not sure he’ll be quite as effective at Newcastle.
12.) 08 Jul 2025 22:05:22
You watch elanga out do the both of them next season. Yeah he's not the fancy name and we've had him before, but there is a seriously good player there and by the time he's the age of the players he's not better than, he will be better than them.
Newcastle will challenge next season with a front 3 of gordon, elanga and isak.
13.) 12 Jul 2025 09:51:58
I think Newcastle and Eddie Howe are the perfect move for him.
He's a talented player no doubt, but he isn't an elite talent. He is however very hard working, humble, and understands how to play as part of a team.
Which should make him a perfect fit for this Newcastle team under Howe. He'll challenge Murphy for a starting spot on the right and will likely win that battle. While they will have Gordon and Barnes fighting out for that starting spot on the left.
What they really need now is either a young up and coming striker to act as an understudy to Isak or an older squad striker who can rotate with him.
They look like they will get James Trafford which gives them real competition in goal with Pope as well.
They have good options in midfield, and in defence. They maybe could do with a younger CB to come in and add competition. They were linked with Guehi, and he'd be phenomenal for them, but he looks like he might be off to Liverpool (which frankly is terrifying given their other signings so far this summer) .
Newcastle are quietly building an excellent squad, one built on hard work, with a strong team ethic, but also with bags of talent.
{Ed001's Note - have you seen him play? He is not humble by any means and certainly does not understand how to play as part of a team. That was the big problem last season that saw Forest drop off so badly. He got too big for his boots and tried to do everything himself, wasting so many good opportunities for them.}
15 Feb 2025 17:15:34
Amad out for the season by the sounds of it. We are screwed!
26 Jan 2025 15:25:23
Seems we are keen on dorgu but doesn't look like we have the funds to pay what they want. Maybe we could look for a loan with obligation and send them malacia or amass until the summer?
1.) 26 Jan 2025 16:18:50
I’m sure we have the funds but don’t want to be held to ransom, think they would be holding out for their record transfer fee if anyone else came calling? We are right to negotiate and get him for the correct price rather than overspend again and again.
2.) 26 Jan 2025 17:12:00
We've lost 300 million in 3 years, don't think we have any money that we can spend without getting some sort of psr/ ffp penalty.
I get what your saying about overpaying, we do need to be smarter with the spending.
3.) 27 Jan 2025 15:36:20
according to 1 report we offered 16.8 plus 4 in addons . huge jump then to 33 million - apparently we are stuck at 25 now and won't go higher.
25 Aug 2024 15:01:11
Mctominay bid accepted, now it seems ugarte is finally going to happen on a permanent deal rather than a loan.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 16:29:54
Would have preferred a loan with no obligation for Ugarte.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 16:52:20
As I understand it, the player is yet to agree to move.
3.) 25 Aug 2024 20:26:09
Similar to awb he wants a payoff from us and still has to agree terms? Do these payoffs happen all the time or is it just us because we’ve been ran by clowns for so long. I never hear about this with other clubs! Ed’s can u help with this one?!
4.) 25 Aug 2024 22:13:19
Was thinking the same norn.
5.) 25 Aug 2024 22:24:59
Norn_84
It has to do with the wages they are paid. F. eks Antony gets paid 200K a week, and has 4 years left on his contract, no other team in the world would pay him those wages so if Utd were to sell him and the buying team are only offering Antony 100K and there are no other offers and Utd really want rid, they'll have to pay the remaining 100K a week for the remainder of his 4 year contract. Never pays off to give players the huge wages utd pay. McTominay gets 60K a week so i doubt there are the same problems there but it might be the loyalty bonus of 5% of the transfer fee he is looking for because as far as i know he never asked for a move.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 22:41:15
Not to mention Sancho on 250K a week and Casimero on 350K a week with 2 years still to go on his deal. These players will only move if they can get the same wages elsewhere.
Sancho f. eks (Juventus are offering to cover 100K of his weekly wages) and united have to cover 150K a week for the season loan.
Its very very costly to get rid of players on huge wages that are not justified on the pitch and that almost no team want due to their huge wages. Antony came from the Dutch league, why is he getting 200K a week when he was getting 25K a week at ajax. Couldn't 100K convince him? Shocking really.
7.) 26 Aug 2024 05:05:12
Taxes are different in Italy though. You can be paid £100k/ week in the UK and £80k/ week equivalent in Italy and still end up with the same amount in your pocket after taxes as an example.
8.) 26 Aug 2024 11:43:08
Good point Fuser.
9.) 26 Aug 2024 18:34:35
If I’m McSauce, a move to Serie A will see him being a top player there, at a great club that is a footballing hotbed. Food, climate etc. good luck to him.
As for Sancho, he needs to find his fire again wherever he goes. Right now, seems like he can’t be @rsed.

Serious questions.
If we get rid of amorim,
1.who do we bring in?
2. How do you improve this bunch?
3. Where is an achievable finish?
4. Who do you think they will bring in?
I think he will still get time to change things, but if he were to go.
1. Glasner would be my 1st pick, 2nd would be silva. 3rd would be mckenna
2. I think a 433 would suit the team better, pack the midfield out as we seem to get over run most games. You have to fit mainoo into the team and I can't see it in a 2.
3.top 7 if we can string a run together.
4. You just know its going to be southgate.
{Ed001's Note - surely Iraola has to be the best option?}
1.) 14 Sep 2025 20:48:55
Eddie Howe is my first choice. He will get the most out of the players. He has history of improving players.
Have to change to a 4-3-2-1.
Keeper
Maz
Yoro
De Ligt
Dorgu
Cas
Mainoo
Bruno
Mbeumo
Sesko
Cunha
Still think mid table is the most any new boss could achieve this season. The board will leave getting rid of RA too late.
2.) 14 Sep 2025 20:53:15
1. Based on his statistics, pretty much most managers would probably do a better job. But I think Ed is spot on with Iraola. Wildcard would be Nuno.
2. Agree - there's a reason most top teams play 433.
3. Top 8 if we get rid of RA before October and the damage isn't irreversible.
4. Now Ashworth has left, I don't think Southgate is in the running. Wouldn't be surprised if they did something stupid like bring Ole or Jose back.
3.) 14 Sep 2025 20:59:10
Iraola for me, glasner a good shout too. Writing on the wall for RA. No improvement, players looking worse and he persists with the same thing.
4.) 14 Sep 2025 21:14:02
Either Iraola or Glasner
Absolutely sick of the players
There gutless the lot of em.
5.) 14 Sep 2025 21:22:35
I think unai emery from villa. forget where villa are today he has a good track record improves players and a good tactician. i think sjr could sell him a vision. be the man to get utd top 8.top6 . top 4 playing decent football and take it from there.
6.) 14 Sep 2025 21:49:49
Iraola or Glastner to bring Wharton and Guehi with him.
7.) 14 Sep 2025 21:50:40
I’d be with Emery too. I think an older head needs to take this job first whilst we have the “new” owners. Honestly, could go far worse than Jose. At least he has tactics and tweaks when needed, not can we score even fewer goals if he returned and added some backbone to this side.
8.) 14 Sep 2025 22:09:05
1. Iraola. Bournemouth lost 3 of their first-choice defenders in the summer, but he already has their replacements singing to his hymn sheet. They've made a decent early start and are 4th in the table - after a summer of being swooped upon by the big boys, he's proven the merit to his worth.
2. To start with, 4-3-3/ 4-3-2-1.
I've been waiting for the 3-4-3 to click and work out, but it's clearly not. The first question would be - which CBs get the nod? For me, I'd move Yoro to LCB, partnered with De Ligt. Maz and Dorgu both walk into the FB positions. A midfield 3 can accommodate (temporarily) Cas, Mainoo and Fernandes. The front 3 picks itself.
3. Top half.
4. Struber.
9.) 14 Sep 2025 22:14:31
Iraola would be my shout.
I’d prefer Amorim to give 4231 a go first.
And would like him to get until after the Spurs game.
10.) 14 Sep 2025 22:15:39
Iraola, Howe, glasner or Emery. Either way Amorim isn't good enough.
11.) 14 Sep 2025 23:01:56
This won't go down well but. OGS.

14.) 15 Sep 2025 06:23:57
Eddie Howe.
15.) 15 Sep 2025 09:33:54
Eddie howe, knows the culture, understands lower leagues and expectations. Wouldn’t go to Grimsby and get outplayed.
Eddie howe.
16.) 15 Sep 2025 12:38:42
I think ed001 might agree with me here but I don't think glasner is that much better than amorim tactically and he also has the problem of been a horrible person.
Andoni iraloa is the man I think that could bring us forward to the next level.
{Ed001's Note - Glasner is a bit defensive minded as well, all sit deep, absorb pressure and hit on the counter, similar to Mourinho. Iraola is the outstanding candidate.}
28 Jun 2025 10:15:26
Apparently jhon duran has been made available for al nassr. I think we should go in for him, looked like a brilliant player when at villa and was surprised they let him go.
1.) 28 Jun 2025 10:55:58
He looked a good player, still very young and has a lot of developing to do. I'm not sure he's the guy just yet to be the first choice, under the pressure he'd have at a club like ours.
I think he worked well at Villa with Watkins as first choice. Allowing Duran to be the back up, have less pressure, and being able to come on for the final 20 minutes against tired legs. Most of his goals came from the bench rather than as a starter. He needs another year or two as the super sub while he develops and rounds out his game before being ready to be first choice for a top club.
Besides Al Nasser paid a huge fee for him, they won't sell him on the cheap so he will still cost 50-60m. Which does represent a gamble on a player who still has a lot of development to do to reach his potential.
2.) 28 Jun 2025 13:08:18
Looks like a great player and we should definitely be in for someone of his quality and potential! However it does really depend on whether we get priced out on the deal. Would be interesting to see how Fernerbace are structuring the deal.
3.) 28 Jun 2025 13:58:07
Reds that was my thinking. If they can afford him then we definitely can.
{Ed007's Note - Won't Duran be hit with a hefty tax bill if he returns to the UK so soon?}
4.) 28 Jun 2025 14:16:55
Plus the problem at Villa was he thought he should be a starter and not understudy, is he ready yet to be number 9 at United clearly Rasmus can’t handle it…I feel w e need a proven striker who is experienced and can handle extreme pressure, we can’t afford another potential wait and hope guy.
5.) 28 Jun 2025 15:22:26
Ed007, if he’s hit with a fine, any idea how much?
{Ed007's Note - It's not a fine as such mate it's just that his Saudi earnings would now be liable for UK tax - he's basically taken a 6 month break (which puts him in two separate UK tax windows that run April - April) so he'd be billed for 45% of his Saudi earnings. He was in the UK for the start of the tax year April 2024 until January 25, he left for Saudi and if he comes back that's him into another tax year that started in April 2025.
I'm not an expert on this stuff btw but I read a good bit about it when Jota was coming back to Celtic and there are ways round it but I don't think Duran would qualify using any loopholes after only 6 months away from the UK.
The same tax situation is the main reason Henderson ended up at Ajax. ??
6.) 29 Jun 2025 00:12:12
If he's been out the UK for 18p. days of the year he's non dom for tax purposes in the first year.
07 Mar 2025 19:16:45
What's everyone's view on the mainoo contract renewal being rejected by the player?
Apparently he's asking for 180k a week. Is it the club putting this out there in preparation for selling him in the summer and having their excuses ready? or is it a player believing in their hype too young and expecting massive wages?
I think with amad signing a new deal on 120k a week, that should be the kind of money he should be getting, we need to get the wages down that's what's killing the club. In 2 years time he will want an improved contract and what will we have to pay then. Do we risk losing a promising player or do we stick to our guns?
I like mainoo but he does seem limited and gets injured alot. Do we sell now while his stock is fairly high? Or keep him, pay him big wages and re-evaluate him in a couple of years?
1.) 07 Mar 2025 19:46:52
I like Mainoo but he’s fell off under Amorin.
I’d be reluctant to sell him but £100M could help the club probably more than keeping the player.
2.) 07 Mar 2025 20:55:57
Limited? My word. I think he is unlimited in his talent. A very special player.
They've been briefing about selling him for a while now. And the scumbags probably will.
3.) 07 Mar 2025 21:39:44
Angel, i don't think he is disciplined enough for a 6, and doesn't have great defensive abililty, very rash in tackling and his decision making needs work. he is good going forward. He's a good player no doubting that, but a bit overhyped imo.
4.) 07 Mar 2025 22:42:33
19 years old, scored a fa cup winner, already a starter for England and one of our best players.
Yep let's sell him because we are drowning in quality players.
5.) 07 Mar 2025 22:58:46
100m lol.
6.) 07 Mar 2025 23:16:40
The journalist who made the report has already distanced himself from it. Tells you all you need to know about that.
Also if United were briefing this, it wouldn’t be through Jamie Jackson.
7.) 07 Mar 2025 23:24:59
Dsg would you pay him 180k at 19? Then in 3 years time when he wants another contract your looking at 250k plus
Kids these days demanding mega wages when he’s proven absolutely nothing to warrant it.
He’s had a hand full of good games and he’s been injured for a fair bit and hasn’t exactly performed consistently this season
Yet again players taking the club for ransom and it’s one of the reasons we are always stuck with players when trying to sell because there wages are far to high.
8.) 07 Mar 2025 23:25:29
Seems daft to let him go IMO. We're crying out for another all-round midfielder with similar attributes, ok maybe one who's a little more creative, but even so to sell him would put us in the position of needing to find two excellent midfielders. Then they'll probably keep Eriksen or Casemiro lol.
If he can get more money elsewhere (which seems highly likely), and we can get enough to afford an excellent replacement, it seems possible he'll be off. But if the board's model is to be buying/ retaining young, hungry players he seems exactly what we need.
9.) 07 Mar 2025 23:28:48
Typed send before I finished
I like mainoo I think there is a promising player in a few years developing can be a regular for both United and England
But 180k for a 19 year old on the back of what? What has he done to warrant such an increase
Fair enough insensitives and bonus’s based on performances but it’s ridiculous.
I couldn’t care who is sold as long as the club have players that want and play for the badge and not just for the money.
10.) 08 Mar 2025 00:09:19
I think he is going to be a really good player. Great 1st touch and can receive the ball in tight spaces. I'd be disappointed if we have to sell him. He does lack a few pieces to be described as brilliant just yet but he is 19 and has lots of time to develop his weaker points. He will make it big imo.
That said I've no idea what money he wants so don't believe any of the numbers quoted. But if the club make him an offer the same as amad signed and he refuses it then we have 2 options.
1 sell him.
2. Walk away and reopen talks next season and leave him on his 20k a week contract which is good till 2027 plus an option till 28.
If someone came in with 70m plus and he doesn't want to sign on terms the same as amad then he is giving the club a decision to make.
Angel it will be up to mainoo if he doesn't want to leave he won't. You can't sell a player that doesn't want to leave as we know only too well.
I do think garnacho will be sold and rashford I'm hoping they generate enough without the club having to sell mainoo.
Other players the club can sell at 100% profit are
Dalot, Shaw, maguire, Bruno,
11.) 08 Mar 2025 03:30:24
Some club may give us a significant amount of money for him but I doubt very much they're going to offer him £180k per week. He has talent, but he's 19, he's had a lot of injuries, and he has much to prove. Plenty players do not progress from an initial appearance of exceptional talent. In the meantime he's under contract until 2027 so the club is in the driver's seat. Personally I think it would be beneficial to him to move away from a club that's currently struggling, in which he may have no obvious role, and instead get to grow his talent at a Champions League contender that can give him to time to develop. But United aren't going to be forced to sell on the cheap.
12.) 08 Mar 2025 09:38:47
Where's this 180k a week talk coming from? Who's briefing this?
And Danny, disciplined enough to play a 6, he is only 19. 6 is a role you learn well into your game, most develop into a 6. He has the talent to be whatever position he wants.
13.) 08 Mar 2025 09:49:19
He’s a player with fewer than 50 first team appearances. He already doubled his salary last year to £50,000 a week. For a young player with a history of injuries, that’s more than fair. But his agent has been pressing for a new contract already.
Although £180,000 is the figure being floated around, I’ve seen journalists saying that his demands are closer to £150,000 a week. This is still nuts for a player this young who hasn’t even established himself as a starter, let alone a key player.
There might be a bit of tit for tat briefing between the club and his agent, but he has done nothing to deserve a 200% pay rise. He needs to get himself fit, make himself a consistent starter, then he can start looking for a new contract. Honestly, if the choice is pay him over £100,000 or sell him for pure profit, then I’d sell him. The club can’t continue to inflate the wage bill, and a kid with limited experience looking for that amount isn’t worth the hassle.
14.) 08 Mar 2025 10:57:19
I’m old and crusty. There are zero players in the world worth the money they get. Wages have got ridiculous.
15.) 08 Mar 2025 11:22:12
Isn't it standard to reject the 1st offer in anything in life? Agent negotiating the best deal, who would have thought.
16.) 08 Mar 2025 11:23:19
Add to that I don't think his contract ends until 2027 probably with the option of another year. It'll get done in good time.
17.) 08 Mar 2025 17:18:44
Agree with that post tumble
And I can see garnacho being sold don’t think his ego has what it takes to play for us
Rashford I think unless he takes a wage cut I’m not sure we will sell maybe another loan but then his value goes down
In an ideal world
Sancho (already going)
Rashford
Antony
Casimiro
All sold and big wages off the books.
02 Mar 2025 21:50:15
I seen a stat the obi had more clear cut chances in his 52 minute appearance today than hojlund has had in 22 league games. That's mental if true. He's surely got to be given more starts.
1.) 02 Mar 2025 23:15:14
Obi looks good, he needs to get minutes which is what amorim is doing. He is ready to start getting some first team action and he is rewarded.
Rasmus is getting dogs abuse from frustrated fans, but this agenda needs to stop. Yes he is in a slump and needs to get something going. But he also has made runs and the ball doesn't come to him. Our players all need to improve their passing and creativity.
It is not Rasmus fault that the club has only one young striker and no senior striker. Zirkzee has also struggled, but is better linking up from 10 than playing striker. His linking play is very hit and miss though, with some very poor balls followed by the brilliant ball over the top for garnacho today.
We have spent 6 years playing high risk transition football and looking for a hero ball followed by individual magic. Eriksen helps in midfield but his legs have gone for epl. Casemiro same. We are going to have to be patient for a full rebuild of squad. And this will take some time, the way ineos are going about it we are years away.
2.) 03 Mar 2025 05:05:38
He is not ready and his work off the ball is almost non existent. Something going on with hoiland and maybe a sitting out a few games will be the best thing for him.
3.) 03 Mar 2025 06:39:43
Ahmad H,
Are you on about Obi or Hjolund when you say he is not ready and his work off the ball is non existant?
4.) 03 Mar 2025 12:04:39
Unless my eyes were deceiving me he walks around when we are out of possession and not enough work rate defensively. Maybe it was a one off or was instructed to stay up.
However given Rasmus's from i think he needs to sit. playing him every game like this just makes the noise around the guy louder.
5.) 03 Mar 2025 12:25:19
Obi obviously has some bulking out to do but from what I've seen in his last few cameos he's been more of a threat than Rasmus. Hopefully alternating them in upcoming games will create some competition, who can score first lol.
Seriously though, when you throw Zirkzee into the mix there is a laughable lack of attacking threat in this team without Diallo.
6.) 04 Mar 2025 08:34:38
I think David and Gomes make perfect sense if they want to come on a free transfer.
Then additional resources in midfield is the priority for me. We just don’t have the players that Amorim needs there. We have pmertnof cover at the back for now and would expect Yoro to step up. Branthwaite could be fin on the left of tjat back three, but he will be pricey.
Finally, if the coaches see something in Hojlund. Let’s back the young man and bring in an experienced striker he can learn from, like we did with Cavani type deal.
Let’s be honest guys, we won’t be in a Europe, and we are likely to finish 15/ 16th, so our options will be limited to younger players, free transfer and experienced players winding down.

If Ipswich go down, greaves and Delap would be astute purchases.

Amad! What a player we have in our hands, singlehandedly won us a game we looked destined to lose. If only we had another 2 or 3 of him. If we want the high press he needs to be playing further forward, he just doesn't stop.
Have to say onana was brilliant today too, made a couple of quality saves to keep us in it.
Also collyer looked really good again, casemiro is done now, let's hope we can move him on this window.

Been a while since I had the pleasure of seeing a player score a hat-trick for United. Had a quick look but can't find the last one. RvP maybe?
2.) 17 Jan 2025 00:02:31
Been a few since RVP but not too many. Martial, Bruno and 2 for Ronaldo. 1st one since 2022 though.
3.) 17 Jan 2025 00:14:27
It was Ronaldo spenno.
4.) 17 Jan 2025 00:15:57
Ronaldo got three against Norwich in April 2022.

Top lad, keeps going. I wish someone would tell him to stop waving his finger at refs, the way refs feel about us he'll get sent off one of these days. He's been our best attacker for a while, so happy for him today.

Ronaldo.

Out of the 5 i'd have garnacho back. He does actually work for the team. He just needs to stop leaking stuff to his brother and knuckle down. He's going to be a very good player when it all clicks.
08 Jul 2025 22:05:22
You watch elanga out do the both of them next season. Yeah he's not the fancy name and we've had him before, but there is a seriously good player there and by the time he's the age of the players he's not better than, he will be better than them.
Newcastle will challenge next season with a front 3 of gordon, elanga and isak.

Im surprised we didn't bid for flekken. Decent keeper and went for about 10 mill to leverkusen.

he's had 2 loans and only played 3 or 4 games. my mates a port vale fan, they had him last year and he said in 1 half of football you could tell he was mentally weak and wouldn't make it. Hid behind an injury. Rotherham manager alluded to the same this season, We have enough of them, let him go.
29 Jan 2025 20:40:42
You couldn't make it up. Hasn't played a full game for us in over a year, we're about to sign a young lb and he's back! I'm sure something similar happened when we signed malacia.
If by some miracle happens and he gets back in the team I hope he's used a cb and let the young lad grow and develop.

Players rule the roost now. It is mental like you say that somebody wants paying to leave, especially as said players want to leave anyway. Problem is they have a massive contract (more than they deserve) and when the next team wants to reduce their wages they feel entitled to the shortfall. It's not like they are on a couple hundred a week, these are multi million pound contracts so they aren't going to feel the drop. Imagine telling your boss you want to leave Tesco to go work at asdas but asdas only want to pay you 11 quid an hour and Tesco were paying you 13 quid an hour so you want them to pay the shortfall. You would get told to f off!

It's a hard one. Sesko hasn't hit the ground running so is under scrutiny. Watkins was there here and now answer (what we need) but sesko is potentially a future star. They both would have went for the same sort of fee aswell. Were the club thinking if we miss out this year someone else will snap him up and we miss out for good. Let's face it good strikers are hard to come by. I have a feeling he will come good once the side is more balanced and they adapt to him.

It's the number that has been bandied around for the last 12+ months and probably something realistic that would be asked for. Imo his england caps came way too soon and probably inflated the demands. If your a regular for united and england at the start of negotiations you would go in high. Also you had rash and sancho on massive wages.
27 Aug 2025 17:24:42
Simple sign a new contract or ask to leave. Yes he's a brilliant footballer on his day, but they are not as frequent as they used to be. Also think the lack of minutes could have something to do with the contract situation.
Question for you all. Do you pay him 150 k a week? Or would you accept a bid if it means signing a guaranteed starter who would improve the team now?
Personally I hope he stays he does have something about him, but he is not a 150k a week player. Also what would be the next contract demands in 2/ 3 years?
13 Aug 2025 19:43:08
Forget his form or what happened which led to the drop off. Rashy is a fan like us all and he will want the best for us. I think he's basically telling us to stick with this manager in a round about way. a lot of what he said was truth.
