Exactly. Everyone moans we overpay yet no one actually says how they would approach clubs and get those fees down.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Our only striker is a toxic version of Orville the duck. We absolutely need attackers.
There’s still two moves open for midfielders, too.
That Nemesis line though.Money's not a problem.
For starters, I wouldn't wait until mid August.
This signing only makes sense if Ronaldo stays, surely. It's all well and good signing a facilitator that presses well, creates, but who's he creating space and opportunities for? A load of blokes that don't score many goals.
Well assuming if Ronaldo leaves for free, it’s pretty much gives us €30m of his salary and €20m James Garner, that will be where the 50m came from. We should still have enough money to buy FDJ and Rabiot if the transfer budget is actually £150m as per reported since we only have 50m net spend so far.
Looked good before Atletico, but was more of a left attacker
Actually....this signing i like a lot. Watched him few times and he looks great. Sign him
His goalscoring record is… underwhelming. 1 goal in 4 wont cut it..
This is another red herring to add to the stack of dead fish transfer rumours we've had stinking out the gaff this summer
And if we get rid of the troublemakers we might even push for top 4.
Do we rate any of our targets outside De Jong, sometimes these kind of unknowns can really surprise you.
Cool. So you'll call them in May and say......?
"Hi, I'm calling from Manchester United and I'm interested in X player....."
You think because it's May, they won't screw is?
He played as a 9/Striker here at Coritiba Youth. Don't know for sure if he has the stature to play as a 9 in the PL.
Well you see what had happened was. I met a girl from Alabama who was in Cardiff studying and somehow ended up married and it has all been downhill from there. Now I am surrounded by rednecks and if I watch "soccer" with them they bang on about how you have to get your shot "on frame" and force "turnovers" which sadly does not mean delicious apple filled pastries. I can just about handle that the things on the players feet are called "cleats" but if one more person refers to using your noggin to score as a "head-shot" I will not be responsible for my actions.
Loads complaining about the price, how many games hes played etc. Everyone knows we’re going to pay a premium on players now that selling clubs know our situation. We’ll have no choice but to pay or else be stuck with the squad we have.
I remember when Robben left Madrid, the amount on here who didn’t want ‘Madrid Rejects’, then he was fantastic for Bayern. Same with a few others. Same being said here, because Cunha isn’t a regular starter for Atletico. Doesn’t mean he can’t shine for us.

Cunhaguero?
I suspect you're looking at games rather than starts. He's not on 1 goal every 360 minutes.
Wonder how many were saying Mane, Salah, Diaz etc aren’t good enough…
That's 0.51 goals per 90 in La Liga last season. 89th percentile among strikers in the big five leagues. While playing for a side not exactly known for attack.
I don't need no Vardy (no)
I don't need no Nunez (no thanks)
I don't want no Haaland (not today)
You can keep Arnautovic
I'm a Cunha junkie (what?)
I'm a Cunha junkie (tell 'em again)
I'm a Cunha junkie (tell 'em again)
And I like it funky (yeah)
too soon?!

I'm all for signing anyone to replace the cack starters we have, especially if they're coming from a team that is run ragged by their manager.
They were all outstanding for their clubs. This guy barely gets a game.
So we're buying a 23 year old Brazilian international attacker who cannot head the ball or score reliably or play as a no.9 and hasn't played enough games to even be considered LaLiga proven, but can press like a maniac?
Spurs just signed a Brazilian attacker of a similar age this summer who can head the ball, has excellent hold up play, can score reliably, can lead the line, is completely PL proven and also presses like a madman for roughly the same price. And quite a few on this forum (including myself) weren't too envious of them at the time. How standards have fallen over a few weeks!

Another player just written off
Other big clubs generally manage it..? I don't really get your argument. Are you saying selling teams have an ulterior motive when it comes to dealing with United?
On topic; this is much more exciting than the Arnautovic and Morata links. For that alone, we should get him.
I lived in Tennessee from 2000 to 2010, I know how you feel but my wife and me are great and shes in Ireland with me now. She prefers it here. feck Trumpland. I also coached football (soccer) there for the whole time. American parents are the absolute fecking worst. I hope you can get home eventually.
If only I had the slightest trust in our scouts I'd say I'm confident they see something in him his stats don't.
I think just "signing anyone" is a part of the reason the club is in this mess.
Far harder to get a game for Atletico than the clubs those players were at. Especially as an attacking player with some flair
7 minute cameo tonight to replace Morata. How much? Morata scored 2 before he came on. Think I’d prefer Morata out of the two.
It's nothing compared to the issue of having a load of over entitled, lazy idiots that are past their best starting every game.
3rd party agents enquiring about price to no specific suitor.
Would love to but my kids are in school here for another 10 years plus so it is a pipe dream right now, my oldest is at least a United fan but the poor bugger is 15 and has no idea we were ever any good. I keep telling him and then we get smashed by Brentford and he looks at me like I betrayed him
50€¿
Que?
Que?
I am in mate
Could be worse. Could be a £100m Lukaku..
