Bryan Mbeumo | BBC: Brentford reject bid of 55 + 7.5m

Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.

When you compare it to those fees I'd say we are actually getting a very good deal.
I'm confident that this gets done, people just need to be patient.
I mean that’s not true is it
It’s better to walk to the right decision than run to the wrong one, or whatever.
What part? Only Mazraoui lived up to or exceeded his reputation and if they had more time to settle before the season started it would clearly have made things easier on them. It doesnt excuse other factors, they should still have played better regardless but I think Cunha is probably going to have an easier time, slowly transitioning from Wolves to United then preseason and then the season than the players we sign this month and next
Which we didnt make until starting the season with horrible form. So what was the excuse for that?
Bad form for an ITK. You can't be making guarantees like that. I believe this guy has sources based on what he posted about Fletcher but come on. Silly.
Can't expect him to do that.
Yoro was injured but you still included him. What’s the reason for that?
De Ligt had a positive season too.
The way we usually conduct transfer business shouldn't be the benchmark we measure against.
Not to mention, we finished 15th last season, so there would ideally be a little more urgency this summer.
He wasnt even as good as Maguire.The biggest reputation of our signings and didnt do as advertised. Yoro didnt play until December sure so you can leave him out
Again, disagree. De Ligt, Maz, Yoro all looked good signings for the money involved.
10th worst defensive record, finished 15th and you think De Ligt was worth £38 million? I've got nothing else to say. If you're happy with that you'll be happy when we waste more money.
You think that’s a positive getting deals done in late July/August? This is a big summer for both incomings and outgoings we shouldn’t be talking with Brentford for 4 weeks we need these deals done
This pre season is also a massive factor for the manager to implement his system and training methods if there was ever a time to crack on with signings it’s now
What a bizarre post
I understand the negativity to be honest. Would have loved to see Mbuemo in for Monday but that's obviously not happening!
Mbeumo, breh. Mbeumo
Someone beat you to that. Google AI betrayed me.
Still think the INEOS purchases are underwhelming.
I hope you’re right, I used to support United and I want them to do well.
But this season was a disaster, hard to have much praise for anyone in a team performing so badly.
I did think Heaven looked good, the bit I saw.
I’ve been surprised Ugarte isn’t any better for you.
Used to support United?!
Do you think that De Ligt was the reason for the defensive record? I would imagine that Onana’s form and our overall lack of attacking threat was the primary driver for those stats. De Ligt was quite good last season to be honest.
At first I wanted him to come. I've just realized the 'e' comes before the 'u'. How are you supposed to say that?
DO NOT WANT!
DO NOT WANT!
As a french guy I read people misspelling as Mbuemo and I'm like "how are you even supposed to pronounce that?"
The "eu" part is pronounced like the "u" in "burn". The rest is straightforward, the M is almost silent like in Mbappé.
I've just been pronouncing it the same way I'd say kinder buenoAs a french guy I read people misspelling as Mbuemo and I'm like "how are you even supposed to pronounce that?"

Pretty sure if you see him from across the street and yell bueno he wouldn't even flinch, doesnt sound the same at all
Or maybe Brentford's fans had the same issue and he got used ot it.
Yep. Can’t support a club that wanted to bring back Greenwood, even if they bowed to pressure and didn’t.
Yeah but it's more amusing to say Bryan Mbueno in the voice of Brian Badonde
When a man appraises the trawler, it is not the seagulls that he looks at first
We would have finished higher if we had stuck with EtH and not radically switched tactics. Probably still stuck in our 8th placed ways but no doubt done better. Switching tactics was a temporary detriment to our defense. Hopefully not permanent.
Can we sign him instead?
Extreme response
Even though the decision makers in that case are all gone from the club now?
Exactly.
So if they start being successful you'll support them again?
I actually posted in response just a couple of minutes after you, but as a newbie, I've got to wait for mod approval before my post appears. Which can take some time. Honestly, it just discourages me from posting if I'm trying to have a discussion with someone.
Personally I think the INEOS purchases have been significantly better than the previous crew, though obviously that's a pretty low bar. Not saying they've been fantastic, but I think things are trending in the right direction.
Was never gonna happen unless by some absolute miracle we sold the front 4 by start of pre season
Seems that yesterday wasn't any kind of deadline and sadly we weren't able to get this done for 7 July
In case it needs saying we were 13th when EtH left and had an expected league place the previous season of 12-13th IIRC. 8th place was flattery in the extreme
Edit: I actually did not recall correctly - it was even worse. Our expected position the prior season was (drum roll please) 15th!
