I agree, Watkins hadn’t even hit his best form yet.
Rasmus Højlund | Signed for United

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

As I said before that's an extremely weak link to ETH if it is one.
Salah
He’s too talented for ETH to give up on him so fast. He’s started pre season well.
I guess we will find out more about this transfer tomorrow. According to Fabrizio, we're sending the first written offer tomorrow. Would be amazing if we had a quick Here we go, wouldn't it

You're just saying random names now, you cheeky little prankster.
Are you feeling ok? Salah absolutely smashed it from his first season. 44 goals in debut season. Your examples are getting worse.
What are you talking about? The accusation is that EtH likes to sign players he knows. He either knows him or he doesn’t. Not that difficult to understand. EtH has witnessed Eriksen in training first hand and it doesn’t matter how weak or strong that link is. .
That was his first season in the premier league?
Evra
Modric (La Liga)
Grealish - 1st to last season
De Gea
We can't compare him to Solskjær, that was 25 years ago at least.
Salah scored 2 goals in his first season in the Premier League and only played about 500 minutes.
Oh he's accused then? Yeah I guess he knows him from 2, 3 trainings he had at Ajax. I apologize for stating is the link weak or not for the accused.
Still no bid? I'm not exactly sure what we are waiting for, we're spending all this time chatting to Atalanta just to put in a first bid and it be rejected as has been done with Chelsea and Milan already
I was listening to a podcast. In this, they asked the question: How many goals should Højlund score before he would be considered a succes in United?
For me, it would be something like 12-15 goals - and showing he is progressing. Between 8-12 goals would be okay as long as it seems he is on the right track. Below that would be problematic.
What is your take?

So we'll probably pay less than 60mill then but make it up with bonuses if this is the case
Rasmus is a United fan so I am not surprised that he would say no to a higher wage at PSG as long as United is still a possibility.
Great post. I think people have to stop thinking of Hoijland as a singular entity, a number 9 who will do it all on his own with the right service. I think he has The talent and physicality to play up top on his own and create his own chances, but I think looking at him as part of the front 3/4 in a fully functioning and dynamic unit is what we should be doing here. Watching a forward create space, goals and chances from their movement is one of the best things in that area of the game. Hoijland dragging the defence all over the pitch opens up chances for Rashford, and he’s just had a big scoring year with a nodding donkey doing that. Imagine an actual intelligent goal threat being part of that interplay. He’s even a threat from crosses, which opens up that side of Anthony’s game that was lost last season, this will improve him too.
I’d be excited by this signing, I think even immediately he’ll make us better, even just his pace. The market is very poor for forwards at the moment, central forwards anyway, and paying £60m including bonuses/incentives for a prospect seems about right.
Good boy hojlund
Actually signing players who want to play for us, feels nice.
That can't be right, most of the Caf thinks that everyone would rather live in Paris! white text
I know you have the white text.
But just wanted to say I don't think he would turn down PSG if the difference in wage offer was big, it must be relatively small difference.
Yep we need two strikers ; R Hojlund now and Watkins or Toney in January both more than adequate
wish they would make a decision
Laughing at those who wet their pants when PSG were mentioned last week
When it comes to wages, United aren't shy, if a player does well he is generally well rewarded and quickly So it shouldn't be a competition between United and PSG on that topic.
I like him already
Was going to post something like this also. Martial doesn't have the mentality, which is so important at the top level. Being technically a good player should be the miminum requirement to be leading the line at United, not something to applaud.
One hand (or finger) on the zipper?
Always nice to hear a player snub another club in order to join Utd.

Greedy feckers
I think he would.
Most of us Scandinavians grow up watching the PL, and we all have a PL team and a local team we support.
We also don't care that much for the weather, cause we grow up with rain, wind and other shit, so we're used to it. Sure, some prefer it warmer, but not as much as those who grow up further south.
I was never in the position to play for a top club, but i would definitely pick United over PSG, even if PSG paid me double, you get filthy rich anyway, as long as you play for a top club.
I also think that both United and ETH are better known for giving young players a chance than PSG are, which should matter.
Not far apart in valuations though. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least half of these transfer fee disputes that go on all over football are more about the payment structures of the total fee rather than the actual fee amount. Clubs arguing their cases to receive more money sooner and citing annual FFP limits etc.
The article quoted €70m - that’s not £68.5m.
No, the article says that Atalanta demanded 80m€ but that United offers 70m€ plus bonuses.
It's getting to silly numbers. I worry from what I've seen of him. Kane is an infinitely better option if there's any way we can get him for 80-90m.
