MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Welcome Matheus Cunha!.Good start to the summer.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Kobbie Mainoo (out).Mainoo is surely not the one to sell. He has pretty rare talents and could easily become a top player.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Bruno Fernandes Out? | Al Hilal ready to offer 80m.66 Ayden Heavens. But no, I take your point. I doubt we can realistically attract any players better than Bruno currently is. But he’s about to turn 31. If we could get a couple of Cunha-level players for that price (talented and ready to take...

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Bruno Fernandes Out? | Al Hilal ready to offer 80m.Come on, everyone has a price. For 31 year old Bruno, I’d guess around £100m would get it done. Not that he’ll be straightforward to replace. For one, he never misses a game!

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Bryan Mbeumo | Newcastle ready to make bid (Telegraph).I like them both, and am happy we seem to have secured Cunha. But I'd be surprised if he got more than 10-15 goals next year for us. Hopefully he can hit the ground running.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Striker Poll - Who should we buy ?.I wouldn't be against bringing in Ollie Watkins for two or three years as a reliable stop-gap. But I guess Villa would price him out of a move, unless we can work something out with Rashford going the other way.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Viktor Gyökeres.I agree – signing this guy for £60m out of the Portuguese league is a huge gamble. There's no other way to dress it up.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Bryan Mbeumo | Newcastle ready to make bid (Telegraph).“Incredible firepower”? Come on, they’re good players but they’re not enough to blast us past mid-table on their own.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Kepa Arrizabalaga.Depends on wages. You can't pay a fortune for a backup keeper to sit on the bench every week. Plus I doubt he'd want to be a backup anyway.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Liam Delap | Ornstein: Delap is going to Chelsea.I guess I don't mind Delap for the price. But I doubt he'll make a big difference to our attack on his own.
-
MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Scott McTominay | Napoli | Scudetto Winner | Serie A's MVP!!.If he hadn't been at United previously, I bet we'd be trying to sign him now for £50m. Seriously.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread What do we still need? Aka The never ending story.What we need – more than anything – is some discipline in the transfer market. Surely we can have one window where we don't spend £30+ on an obvious flop-to-be?

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Liam Delap | Ornstein: Delap is going to Chelsea.Striker and goalkeeper are the two positions on the pitch where top clubs should have an experienced number one. Signing relegated 22 year olds for such a high-pressure position is unlikely to help us.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.The most obviously necessary sacking in the history of football. Surely the club can't bottle it again?
-
MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Post match vs Tottenham Hotspur.Awful way to approach a final. We need a goal and leave five defenders on until the end? Nope. Not for me. Time for a new manager.
