i know rite? aint easy to move some of these lot on.
damned if they do, damned if they dont.
And Dawson says they cover all of it. One is right, the other is not, pretty simple.
Yes, I can read. Thanks though.
Can’t we sell anyone anymore? Why is it always loans? The outgoings are bugging me more than the incomings
Madness isn't it. I guess it can only be due to the stupid contracts we've been putting average players on. That absolutely has to stop - I despair if the club can't see that by now.
Seems like a spectacularly bad deal.
Because thanks to the useless dickhead that is Ed Woodward we're paying shite players way above market rates.
Any word on AWB leaving?
Two years but I can see why it would be easy to forget since he’s achieved next to nothing here.
It was something like £15m which is probably another reason why no one wants to pay for him. His stock is way down.
The majority of the clubs outside of the top tier still don't have that much money to spend in general, so they're either trying to sell their own players to fund the incoming transfers, or they're hoping that the bigger clubs compensate them. It's why players like Batshuayi, Lo Celso, Reguilón, etc. are struggling to move on. Most of the teams' owners aren't willing to spend non-stop like Nottingham Forests's or Fulham's owners.
No news as of yet, and there hasn't been any for a long while.
He's for sale, but no other club has really moved forward in purchasing him.
Fair point but my gut feeling is that wages being much higher in the PL than other leagues on average
That also plays a part, and the recent events outside of England hasn't really helped, overall, including the pandemic, France's failed TV deal, and the Italian clubs' lack of financial progress.
Pandemic really did a number on your sense of time didn’t it!
Tumble weed
Precisely this. I thought we'd moved from the incompetence era?
Chelsea can get in the bin.
It gets even better
It's like Woodward never left.Because we’ve paid high wages for mediocre players
I think AWB will leave late in the window, and I'll celebrate it like a new signing, no offence to the lad.
Did not know that. And now my evening's ruined.
Not just Woody's fault though tbf. Our shite scouting department and our previous managers have to take their fair share of the blame (though both are ultimately the responsibilities of the CEO, so in the end he is entirely to blame.)

Sorry fella
I don't know where GB's getting that info from. Matt Judge was known to be the chief negotiator both for transfers and contracts, whilst Richard Arnold was mainly responsible for the commercial side of things.
Not sure PSG are really interested. Didn't they just buy an upcoming 17 y/o French striker talent?
They bought a 20-year-old Hugo Ekitike if that's what you're thinking about. Sesko's more of an opportunity rather than someone that they're seriously working on.
Was going to ask this myself, it’s become very annoying lately
Yes. Got his age wrong. Don't see how it makes sense to buy another similar age profile talent, that too at a price of 30-50m€.
It's the usual hoarding of talents just to make sure that they don't miss out and in case the other young players don't do well. It's the same approach that both Chelsea and City take.
Its been a terrible window and I blame Murtough for that however some of the damage done during the last 3-5 years will not be easily undone in one summer. Our deadwood are on contracts which other clubs can't take on and have more than one year left. If we can't sell them then at the least if we can get their wages of the books it will help us out.It gets even better
Personally waiting to see exactly who we hire for our recruitment team over the next few months to help identify targets instead of turning ourselves into an Ajax tribute act.
Also worth noting that we had agreed a 60 million pound bid for a player. I believe United will still spend this summer regardless whether or not FDJ comes.
Eugh. Correct! I dunno what the hell i was thinking because I know it was Matt judge. Half asleep
What the hell is happening with Jill Phones?? He never featured on the preseason and I don't think he's injured (is he?). There's been no talk about him and I think he showed up in the very first ten Hag training video on MUTV, but then disappeared after that.
Who the bleeding hell is Jill Phones
Jill Phones
I know it's a process, but personally I would rather us sell off deadwood and contribute to the wages then postpone the problem for another year. Yes, it wouldn't make huge profits for us, but at least they're off the books and we can then look forward to a new era.
And who's Phill Jones
Clever for Phill Jones
?Ahhhh
Clever for Phill Jones
