Grealish doesn`t even play on the RW? That one seems more dependent on Pogba and it was briefed he`d be purchased for depth in MIDFIELD
Ed Woodward - "something'll 'appen this summer littleman"
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
This sums it up but that wont stop there being another 100 posts about not getting Sancho.
Not really a big deal. We can bring Smalling and Sanchez back.
but but we have agreed to buy Sancho !
So we're not going to be spending treble the usual amount during a massive world emergency?
I for one am shocked.

All kinds of rumours today from The Athletic that Ole is thinking to buy Grealish and play him on the right. He'd be half the cost of Sancho, so the board might be leaning towards that due to finances being hit.
Much prefer this to the dick measuring 'welcome to Disneyland' Ed we've come to know
He’s not a right winger so it would be a complete waste of money. Grealish isn’t cheap they’ll want £70m or so, you don’t spend that sort of money then play him out of position. I think Grealish will come in if Pogba leaves.
Its an opinion from Mitten on how versatile Grealish can be not a definitive brief from Utd that its where he will be used
Even on a "limited" budget we can still target a decent RW and a specialist CDM.
Frankly we should remortgage for Sancho if he's willing to come.

But we didn't.
Seriously? They're fecking hopeless.
This is why we are where we are now.
That logic got us Valencia as a replacement for Ronaldo.
Yeah it was "big money transfers won't happen"
I think it’s pretty much Ed warning Dortmund and Villa to rein in their valuations for Sancho and Grealish in the post Covid world.
Why is this even the title of the thread? He never said this.
So... the thread title isn't the same then.
No, can you imagine if he actually said "feck all" in an interviewSo... the thread title isn't the same then.
Absolute rubbish
and if you're paying money for those sort of opinions then you're even more foolish !You do normally get a slump in sales until the new reality steps in. At least in housing markets
People in the Kane, Pogba and Sancho threads are losing their time. I didn't bother to check the transfer forum since the outbreak, because any sensible person would know this summer not much will happen in terms of big money transfers. Cheaper or free transfers is something different
My prayers will be with the muppets and their families tonight.
RIP brothers.
RIP brothers.
When cho turns into chez
After this, I’m sure all player contracts will include a “pandemic clause” or something of the sorts, if they don’t already.
I wish UEFA and FIFA decide to put a salary cap due to the circumstances. Sanchez down to 100k might make it possible to offload.
Well with this whole pandemic thing, nobody knows if we'll be spending or not.
Grealish can already play 2 forward positions perfectly, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think he can play a 3rd forward position, not to mention he can play in a midfield 3 with Bruno and Matic/Fred if we are trying to breakdown a team who is parking the bus. He could cover for Rashford on the left if Martial gets injured where Rashford needs to play as striker.
United never forced huge prices on buyers so much needed clearout can still be continued. Two or three good signings can still happen and if it won't suffice Ole will probably reinforce squad with academy players like Gomes and Laird.
If this window will get us somewhere near title race or not it's probably discussion in another thread, but from what I remember United see this window as bigger opportunity then the last ones.

He`s played as a RW for like 12 games his whole career according to Transfermarkt that`ll be like fitting a square peg in a round hole. We weren`t in for him to play as a RW before doubt that changes regardless.
This will be the norm for all clubs. Its possibly the start of the cost of all football moving downward, there were indicators it had hit its peak before the virus happened.
The only risk is the oil clubs keep spending like nothing has changed and wreck football more than they already have done.

That's something I'm afraid of, the oil clubs decide to capitalise and buy up the talent which puts them miles ahead of even the traditional elite.
What was our cash balance according to our books.
I'm beside myself
I prefer his good old statements of how big our war chest is to double the price of every player we look at.
Pretty much exactly what i was going to post.
All I know is there is zero excuses for RW. We haven't had a player who can play there since Nani.
How can we be a serious club when they is a fact. It's madness

Because he didn't want to come and the complexity of his image rights.
Apart from Newcastle. Watch them spend 500m this summer.
If it’s 500m on Lingard, Pereira and Jones then they are more than welcome!!
Judging by what they pay for with wwe, they like people who were relevant in the 1990s so I'd expect them to sign Shearer and Gascoigne
We spent £85m on slabgod in the summer! We are amongst the highest spenders in the world! Arsenal me ‘arris.
This is a good statement to be honest. He has made some serious errors of judgment on transfers, but he is handling this crisis much better than other CEOs. I guess leading a 'non-football' business for many years has given him some competence to deal with these times, which a lot of football based administrators don't have.
I see this as a positive for two reasons: (1) No one can doubt the reasonableness of his comments on football going through a tough patch and therefore those transfer figures are delusional; and (2) He is setting public groundwork for his negotiations, where the conversation cannot start from those points. If a club needs to / wants to sell a player - they will know that the market for the +$100 mm deals just does not exist.
It will be a good opportunity for United to strengthen given the clubs financial health in the summer. There is no doubt about it. However, it remains to be seen if the Glazers chose to strengthen the football side of things, or continue to demand that the club distribute significant dividends instead of the money being used to move us towards the top of the table.
