Yeah the absolute best deal we could get for Jack is £50m plus a player going the other way
Wot, no transfers? It's all happening now!
- Thread starter Sassy Colin
- Start date
How would that help Woodward even if it was true? (it's not, I'm pretty certain Lingard is worth nil on the balance sheet)
waiting skeleton meme, that's what I'm feeling right now. I'm dreading if we end up going to last minute panic buys, that'll be so united.
Jadon is a must
It helps him with the shareholders.And of course as Chelsea fill their boots with Chilwell now signed, we do what? Get Henderson, who is not first choice on a six-year deal. So strengthening in the one area of the pitch, you could argue, that is the last that needs strengthening. I say strengthening, because he hasn't been in our squad, having been out on loan.
Of course, what Sky DON'T say is that will undoubtedly mean losing Argentina international Sergio Romero, who we will let go for money.
If Woodward thinks Henderson deal is pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. He is totally wrong.
Don't mind if that leads to a £50m plus him going to Villa with Jack coming the other way
Ed gets a massive bonus each year for shafting the fans who fund said bonus.
You couldn’t make it up

The key word is 'IF'.
We buy Maguire for £80m in a protracted affair. Chelsea snap up Chilwell for £50m in a far less protracted affair. Go figure.
We may be waiting to sell Smalling to add to the pot for Sancho purchase. Last season we were waiting for the Lukaku money to buy Maguire. Because Leicester demanded all cash upfront. Dortmund learned and are demanding the same....cash upfront.
Proper Football negotiators is why they got him for such a good price not bank managers
Yeah not optimistic at all
Woody will be wanking himself senseless at the Messi drama, takes the heat off him and gives him an imaginary transfer saga to hide behind.
Can already hear it now, we went all in on Messi and missed our other targets.

£50M for Chillwell is a good price? And they're paying him, what was it, £190K/week?
You think that's a good deal?
When money is no object then yeah would say it is a good deal for him

So proper football negotiators is what's standing between us spending an additional 30m vs saving it? All this while we are being run by bank managers? Makes total sense to me.
45m I think. Given we paid the same for AWB and 85m for Maguire, I'd say that's a good deal. Not least because Leicester were probably responsible for those reports over the last few months that he'd cost 80m.

The bad transfers Chelsea have done in recent years that I can remember are Drinkwater and Bakayoko. But they've made plenty of good deals.
This is getting ridiculous.
Another morning, another day of disappointment.
Not looking like it applies right now but am I right in thinking that any signing has to quarantine for 14 days
Grealish on deadline day for 65 million. I’d nearly put a bet on.
Maybe because Maguire was/is more valuable? The more sensible comparison would be Wan-Bissaka who I rate higher than Chilwell.
Sancho too or we going to get that dreaded walk away brief from the club
Chelsea have negotiators who know what they are doing. Ed hired his pal Matt Judge as our chief Negotiator. He has a degree in economics and never dealt with a transfer before he was hired.
MUFC's transfer policy is dictated by an Investment Banker and a Econ major. It is no wonder we are consistently shit in the transfer market.
Yeah that is banker with a silent W
Just so I understand, are we saying a degree in Economics is a bad thing for handling the buying and selling of a player?
Cause, erm, it seems a fair bit more useful than almost any other degree outside of 'football transfers' which I have to assume hasn't replaced PPE at Oxford just yet.
Some of the stuff being spouted on here...

Can’t see Villa letting him go for that, not to United anyway. Unless of course we can convince them to take one of ours in exchange, but even then that won’t bring him down much given the deadwood status of our squad.
Reckon they would deal for £60m straight cash deal or £50m plus a Utd player going the other way
Having a Econ degree is great, having zero transfer experience and being the head of transfers for MUFC is terrible for a club of our stature.
Just like woodward, he is an investment banker and is now our CEO. Its the blind leading the blind at an executive level.
I don’t know; he’s their biggest asset by far and we have a reputation developed over the past seven years in the transfer market. Add in the “last day of the season” then I think they’d push hard for more money knowing they’d likely get it.
Agree, just can't understand why people are criticizing the man because he has an econ degree.
Yeah a reputation we have developed after that prat opened his mouth in 14/15 pre season about us having no budget limit
I was not criticizing him because of his econ degree, sorry if it came across that way.
AllI know about the guy is that he is Ed's pal, they went to uni together, he has a econ degree and has never worked on transfers before.
I dont like either of them because they are shit at their jobs and they are dragging our club down.
Every week Sancho is delayed saves £300k in wages, why rush?
So I’m not an itk of any sorts as but I’ve spoken with people involved in football media and they say that over the last few years, deals are actually completed and signed way before they’re announced. Clubs (and us especially) always delay announcements and drip feed fake progress updates in order to drum up social interactions and hash tags about about the club, also looking to increase subscriptions to channels like the United stand on YouTube that feed and solidify a pro United online fan base. Apparently it’s the key to everything the club do.
sigh, the fecked up workings of modern day football clubs. Could hypothetically mean we’ve already signed Sancho the moment a price was leaked to the press though and we just create a saga story with Dortmund to increase social interaction for both clubs. It’s how we work. I don’t know if that’s certain though, just some info I thought you’d all be interested in.

Tick Tock. Another day gone. Training starts next week. Sure ole is delighted.
I wish that was the case but my gut feeling is the deal is still miles away from even being agreed
He couldn't get Klopp because that prat made us out as an adult version of Disneyland and Klopp rightly told him to feck off
