Yeah could Shaw not work as a LCB if we brought in Telles as a LWB

These are already reserved for Bruno who excels at both.
Provide an option for delivery from a left footer. Inswinging corners and free kicks.
With him and Bruno, we'd probably have one of the best corner and freekick takers duo. Pity our players aren't great at attacking the ball.
I knew would be too cheap to sign Sancho. But being so cheap we drag out a deal for a budget-priced left back Porto are keen to sell? Genuinely surprising
I don't understand why people criticize the board for being cheap and then turnaround to say everyone wants to take advantage of United with a United tax because they are poor negotiators who always pay over the top for mediocre players.
This is a back up left back with a year left in his deal, refusing to extend it. Just because you're having a boring Sunday doesn't mean Woodward is going to throw an additional 5M Porto's way to get a deal done.
Any signings this week will be dependant on players leaving. Soooo,..goodluck.
Oh it's the transfer oracle...hello!

Is it a literally window closing on them ?
Yes. Money now or he can sign a pre contract in 3 months. The pressure is on them.
Sounds like not much has changed
20m euros for a player who can walk for free in 3 months time is a lot. I can see why we are haggling over the fee.
People here acting like money doesnt matter.
I hate to overuse the Fifa/FM analogy, but every time someone complains about us trying to save a few million, like its not a big amount... A FEW MILLION. that's all I can think of.
Totally disconnected from reality.. its just a couple of mouse clicks for them.
If we feel we can save some money on a backup LB by waiting, we totally should.
Saving the same amount for someone who would be a starter and him missing pre season or games because we wanted to save 5m is a different case.. The time/games wasted in that case might not be worth the money saved..
But if there was ever a deal where we shouldnt be in any rush and get the best possible price, this is it.
Drag is late..

I wouldn't expect him to go for cheaper than the dippers paid for that LB from the Greek league earlier this window
Lets just sign a pre-agreement with him and get him for free in the summer. We need a fast quality ball playing CB desperately to go next to Maguire, that's more of a priority.
€15,000,001.
Sounds like we could settle at around €17mTweet

I don’t know why we didn’t just pay €30m a week ago.
The main argument is always "It's not your money, why are you complaining if we overpay?". I sometimes ask myself if these people actually know that the club doesn't have an infinite supply of money like City or PSG?
If he's more than just serviceable going forward, he'd help, a lot.
30m for a player has one year contract left? I have to side with the club management.
Their reported asking price has never been higher than 25m since he's been linked to us...
His release clause is irrelevant with his comtract winding down
Should have paid €25m last week.
We can wait 90 odd days and agree to sign him for free next summer...Tweet

It was in the first post of the thread.
Really.
Why didn’t we just pay £40m a month ago?
Can sign for someone on a pre contract in 3 months.
It’s for a player that’s not a guaranteed starter. We hold all the cards here.
Have some patience.
Should just get it done today and pay €35m
Problem is, we need him now. We are desperate for some depth in our full back positions - the last three games have taught us that surely?
This is a done deal. Was done days ago.
Ignore the noise. Close the thread.

I assume you are taking the piss out of those who think we should just overpay and not negotiate with any selling club?
source?
Might be
Thank goodness ;-)
It’s difficult to tell with some of the insane and desperate posters on here.
With Thiago going for 25m it's fair to say paying 25m for him is really pushing it. 15-17m is a fair offer.
And yet the club continues to give away contracts to the deadwoods with ridiculous amount of wages.
We will pay what we want and have agreed on Thursday 1st October - don’t believe all this twitter nonsense - deal done and agreed - just we’ve agreed not to announce until next Thursday (once we are in a new accounting quarter) - we will them pursue Sancho like lunatics for 4 days.......
What's the point in signing this guy if ole won't even coach him patterns of play ?
