I said the ‘feeling is almost reminiscent’, I’m not bringing Brexit into it.Imagine bringing Brexit into this
We might be out of our fecking minds but where on earth we raising another £100m,clearly we are prioritising Amrabat over going for another striker
My thoughts exactly. I think the Kane deal can still be done and we are actually selling players now which means we can probably go up to 100m.
We needed to get him before Atalanta for that to have happened in my opinion
It is all in the eye of the beholder at this point which is inevitable for a 20 year old. I see the top potential that you do not see but only time will tell which of us is right, with the deal inching closer I guess we are going to find out. Hopefully we can bookmark this thread and in 10 years look back and reminisce when he takes Shearers PL goals record on his way to wrapping up our 3rd treble by scoring the goal that sends Liverpool down to the Championship.

Yeah, exactly my thoughts that. I am not against overpaying for right player but i am not sure what is about Hojlund what is worth overpaying. It is not that he is like Mbappe or Rooney who had that "wow" factor from day one. Hojlund doesn't stand out in anything right now.
Kane would be my top choice but he's too far down the line with Bayern this summer,also he clearly hasn't the stones to tell Spurs he only wants Utd move. So combine that with the price and it's why we ended interest back in June.
So in other words will take another bid

He has proven them wrong several times. They’ll be back again when he reposts the bid ten times even though they can just ignore it and move onRomano haters in tears
To be fair, around United he knows how to drag things out but clearly one of the most reliable footy journos.
When were fans against any signing
? Fans are muppets. Every player becomes 3 times better as soon as your club becomes interested in him.he's obviously quick
If we spend anything close to that then he is the main no.9, not the understudy which is what I wouldn’t be against bringing him in for at a lower fee.
People don't seem to realise Fab's revenue comes from engagement and clicks - so it benefits him to post constant updates, he may not get everything right but hard to knock him for the grind when 9 times out of 10 he gets things right. People don't have to follow him!
if this is true we're definitely getting him
Kane may be going to Bayern, he may see out his last year with Spurs or he may sign a new contract with Spurs, or he may even despise United...but we've proven before with surprise signings -- the most recent being Ronaldo and Casemiro -- that if the right player is available in the market we'll spend the money.
It's not BS though is it, when everyone has reported the first thing we did was go in for Kane but stepped away when it just wasn't going to happen. Even now they are saying we aren't going back in for him and don't expect to because it isn't going to happen. What more do you want the club to do? Osimhen is 150 odd million for christs sake
I would test the waters with a Kane bid. At the least, if rejected it will likely stop Atalanta from squeezing this fee.When were fans against any signing
And not just United fans, all fans are like that. "New signing? Yes, please. I never heard for him but based on youtube clips, i love him. "

Yes, that would be ideal situation. Proven, top class no9 to lead a line and Hojlund for lower fee as backup. Part of me was hoping for that scenario. But with his fee and our budget, he is starter for next season.
Yep, that is it. That 10 mil difference will be resolved quickly.
Not at all.
Lewandowski at 20 was actually ridiculously talented. Granted he was playing in Poland but if you watch videos like this one you can see he had everything - fantastic ball striking technique, using the outside or inside of his right foot and ability to bend the ball or hit it flush, ability to use his weak foot when needed, elite heading technique and aerial ability, pace to run behind, composure in one on ones, ability to score both in transition and in crowded boxes.
First of all, no, I'm implying it's unlikely there's a striker available for 40m right now that's going to be better than Højlund. If that was the case, do you not think we would try to get him? It is impossible to say, but Ten Hag sees Højlund as someone that can be a great striker so he's willing to overpay for him.
Jesus, it’s not even close. That volley at 0:49.
Pretty much thisWhen were fans against any signing

I completely agree. He may turn out to be a good striker, but as you say right now he doesnt have that "wow factor" that screams 70M player.
It is entirely possible that there’s a cheaper player out there that is better than Hojlund or on the same level. Just because we are not linked with one doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. Alvarez as I already said just went to City for 12m, Jackson also looks good and Chelsea got him for 35m.
If half of that happens I'll be the happiest man ever to be wrong. Hopefully youre right as it seems ten Hag has him as primary target.
| Fee | Wages - weekly | Contract Length | Wages Annually | Total Cost | Annualised Cost | |
| Kane | £ 120,000,000.00 | £ 400,000.00 | 4 | £ 20,800,000.00 | £ 203,200,000.00 | £ 50,800,000.00 |

I know its the polish league but damn he looks class in that video. Great technique and composture. If Hojlund had that I'd say pay the 70M without flinching.
