It's Quiet the £250m return

[tolmie's hairdoo]

It was always gonna be Costa imo.

Correct. The Garcia stuff came out of nowhere and lasted all of 24 hours. Clearly put out to accelerate a situation on his own behalf.

 

[Mad 4 It]

Of the same opinion. If Cherki is a goerz I don't see MGW happening for that money and they will chuck more at the full-backs or keep some back for a Rodrygo punt.

Good :)

Cherki for 20m over a 70m+ MGW is a no brainier. Plus I can't forgive MGW over the Rodri fiasco haha.

 

[p.taker]

Cherki and MGW are not comparable players at all

Any idea of the number of non homegrown players likely to leave though ? As if no MGW seems Livremento is the only possible home grown player in.

Not sure if it was this thread or the Cherki one but someone put it'll either be Livramento and Cherki or Wesley and MGW i.e. one homegrown player either way and I reckon that's pretty spot on.

Nope. Hopeless trying to second-guess the homegrown quotas come August.

 

[Paul1970]

Tell us how many have turned us down because of it? And stated as such?

No one is gonna state it mate but look at it it’s this way if you had two jobs lined up but one of them had a massive cloud hanging over it which one would you take ?

To be honest it’s hopeless me trying to guess any of the quotas or the final squad before August. I just can’t help myself :)

That would be me!
I've just had this feeling since all the news came out that we're not looking at players quite as individually as we may think, more of a trigger point depending on which home-grown player we're going to sign or sell, actually!

 

[Gordyola]

The problem we have is a lot of top tier players will not come to us untill this court case is sorted .

You know that as a fact or just your opinion?

 

[Damanino]

Cherki comes with risk and attitude but for that price I would take the risk but would be careful on huge salary to compensate the low fee in case we need to get rid early.

 

[117 M34]

Rags were heavily linked with Costa for a a long time, which is a bit of a red flag in itself.
Even bigger red flag was they decided onana was a better option.

A gamble worth taking and the kinda exciting transfers we should be undertaking. Him and reindeer would be excellent purchases just hope we don’t spoil it with buying a couple of cloggers

I was shocked, I know it's a ITK but 85 million is abit steep. But apparently its because they don't need to sell and Marinakis is as bad as De Laurentis

That’s too simple comparing a lay man’s job with a football contract Haaland has signed a 9.5 year extension other players have signed since the charges were announced if you are referring to Rice he always wanted London and Bellingham thinks he’s the best player int the world and should sign for the biggest club Having said that we don’t know but, I don’t see any evidence that the charges are stopping players signing

Sorry to be going off topic but a fella would be thinking if our dear friends from Trafford apparently aren't even inquiring about Costa... (with Onana reportedly getting the road + Amorim having just come from the same league as Costa)... ieither City's people are grossly overestimating Costa's abilities or it could be a sign that United's financial troubles are definitely hampering their rebuilding.

 

[Paul1970]

You know that as a fact or just your opinion?

It’s my opinion as not one person in here knows what’s going off .

 

[better dead than red]

It's going to be Barca imo. He's from the City and by all accounts it sounds like his parents were pushing him to stay closer to home.

No need to deal with a bank transfer when they need sorted for money that way. They can just pop in and collect their wedge.

Not just united finances, the best players want the prosepect of CL in the next couple of years. They can’t provide money nor immediate prospects, and and are buying in a different market.There are many more attractive destinations in the PL than united currently.
