Hi fella,

Andy Mitten has asked me to get in touch with you on the forum openly to make you the following offer

"Please tell 'Offside' that I'll meet him next week in Manchester. Or Leeds if he prefers since he's in Yorkshire and I plan to cover Leeds v Man City, subject to accreditation. And we can go through my phone and he can even speak to the agent himself. I'll do it just for him."

If you would like to take up this offer please PM me and I will give you the email address for you to get in contact with him and arrange to meet him.

Cheers

Gary
Nice :D

Do it @Offside

You learn everyday.
The entire saga can be summed up as follows.
  • United want to sign Sancho
  • Sancho would like to join United
  • United don’t want to pay £108m
  • Dortmund want them to pay £108m
I don’t think anything else has actually been said that is genuinely insightful from journalists. It’s been 2 months of those same bullet points repeated.

Something like that always happens because the player does not force (or stop) the move. I would not blame Sancho in this particular case, though, because he is still very young and possibly unwilling to speak any £100m direct word at this early stage of his career.

The only extra two points, which are quite moot due to the last two, are:
  • United think the agent and wage demands are too much
  • United now have come to an agreement on the wages and agent demands.

Arsenal have spent around £32m for Gabriel, Mari and Runarsson, sold Martinez for £16m and for free Mkhitarian out and Willian in. Not really splashed the cash. Now they have to sell (Torreira, Sokratis, Guendouzi...) before they can buy (Auoar or Partey).

United have already a huge wage bill and bringing in more players you have to pay the transferfee but also your wage bill grows.
If only we could sell players.

Baffles me we havent moved anyone on bar Sanchez when it's clear as day 6 need to go.

I feel for Ole having to work with these clowns. Absolute shambles

Anderson is the Mirror correspondent for Leeds.

Would happily send him on loan. He needs confidence and if they end up offering a decent price, we get our money back and probably then some.

This might offer a little bit of explanation for why we aren't able to spend as much on transfers this summer as expected:

Can someone with a subscription specify what the clause exactly is?

Dont fall for it. Can bet my last dollar it's just an article United are using to shield themselves from the inevitable backlash of not investing in the squad

Wolfsburg's sporting director Marcel Schafer talks about the Weghorst-to-Spurs transfer rumours:

Source: Sport1

Wout Weghorst has been speculating in the media for weeks, months. Nobody has contacted us yet. If you look at the last Tottenham game in the Premier League you can see that they have fewer problems on the attack. Now they also signed Gareth Bale. There is more of a problem over who is allowed to play. They don’t need Wout.

If I was him I’d pick Bayern over Barca. Much more stable club currently and much better immediate future.
But at Barca he has a clearer path to the starting XI. And I would say that Barca is the bigger name.
But I agree with you on the immediate sporting future: Barca‘s looks comparable bleak

For those wondering why Javi Martinez was a part of the Super Cup squad:
What a tool. He could simply admit that he was wrong. Everybody is expecting Martinez to leave but that has obviously not happened yet.

Koopmeiners is a guy the TIFO podcast have mentioned before as a potential shrewd signing for Utd. They seems quite keen on the guy.

The document explains the fundamentals of United’s finances and, for those who know where to look, spells out the extra insurance that lenders have over the club’s debt repayment. United owe £175 million on a loan from BofA Securities (formerly known as Bank of America Merrill Lynch) and have £330.8 million outstanding on “senior secured notes” — effectively bonds to investors. The half-a-billion-pound deficit is a legacy to the Glazer family’s leveraged buyout.

To obtain that money at modest interest rates, United agreed a specific caveat with lenders. According to this “covenant”, the club’s profit must not dip below £65 million in a rolling 12-month period, as taken every quarter. EBITDA stands for “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation”.

So every three months, when United announce their accounts to investors, the total for the previous year needs to be at least £65 million, or the banks have a legal right to act.

Think of it as football’s spin-off to Speed, the 1994 blockbuster. Except, it is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the wheel of the bus rather than Sandra Bullock and the consequence for failure to stay above 50mph is not as explosive.

Damn, that's dissapointing. Don't think Dias' any special. Wonder how much Otamendi is worth in that deal. Probably between €6-8m.
