The one with the blue bandana and the 2 katanas
Assuming all were/are interested, I think the smart set of moves would have been:
This Summer: Hojlund + Benzema (on a free but give him big wages for 12m, with the promise to let him go to wherever he went)
Next Summer: Bring in Kane on a free.

Benzema has literally just signed for a Saudi club.
Yeah sorry, I probably didn't make that clear enough with the 'would have been'... hence the high wages for 12m and then letting him go to said Saudi club.
I envy the big clubs who seem to always know who they want and assertively get their signings done from the get go - Real Madrid, Liverpool thus far. For a club like us with obvious holes in our squad, we seem to be still and always observing/monitoring/dithering/waiting (hopefully not hinging too much on ownership situation)
I’m confident this guy would be an hit if we signed him and at only 20. Can’t go wrong… develop him and his value doubles next season.
Rasmus is washed
Rasmus is not washed @Pogue Mahone
Neymar would only happen if the qatar bid was accepted.
Yeah no chance he would come under INEOS
INEOS arent going to clear the debt. They will saddle the club with more debt to pay glazers off in 2026 to leave.
Exactly
Quite literally just feck off.
What? Do you have a source for this or have you just made a load of stuff up in your head and are running with it (I already know the answer)
Might be one of the worst posts i've seen on this forum fair play, the fact you put it as "victim" is quite frankly disgusting. These Anthony revelations have literally just surfaced, we have no idea what the investigation is behind this or what the club are doing behind the scenes. Nobody is saying anything about Antony because we know nothing yet. Greenwood has pictures and audio plastered all over the internet that alone makes it completely different nevermind everything else that happened before and since.
Perhaps you should really rethink your priorities as a human being before coming on a civilised forum and spouting off with stuff like this
By all means post where they've said they'd clear the debt. Because I can post where they said they'd be getting a loan to fund the money to purchase the club. They spin it as the debt would go on Ineos by it's not hard to see the club will be used to pay that debt.
So they basically can't win then, it's quite clear you've made your mind up and won't accept any answer they give you, if they told you they'd be clearing the debt you'd call them liars, if they say that any debt they incur will go to INEOS and not United it's a lie and it's just spin. Yes, it really is hard to see how the club will be used to pay any debt because Manchester United makes not even a fraction of the money INEOS makes, and they have said nothing of the sort that the club would be used to pay debts, so you're just making up scenarios in your head - as I said - and are running with them because you're obviously foaming at the mouth about the Qatar/SJ situation. It's sad really.
Do you have any understanding of how big business works?
IENOS:
The Group held cash balances of €2,642.8 million at March 31, 2023 and interest-bearing loans and borrowings (net of debt issue costs) of €9,324.3 million at March 31, 2023.31
They are going to borrow the money to buy Utd, and do exactly what the glazers did. A levraged buyout and saddle the interest and debt repayments to the club. Its how big business works. Do you think elon musk paid for twitter from his own pocket or borrowed the money? The latter obviously.

This kid now. Kane next summer. Sounds good to me (if this kid is good).
I think you replied in the wrong thread
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/16/sir-jim-ratcliffe-manchester-united-bid-ineos
Genuinely the first line of the article
"Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s bid to buy Manchester United would not burden the club with debt if successful, with the billionaire rejecting any leveraged buyout of the type used by the Glazer family. "
I can get more if you want? But please continue to make up scenarios in your head if that pleases you
Twat.
But then what do we do this year? Hope Rasmus can make a massive step-up /be a constant goal threat? Make Rashford our main #9?
... rely on Martial?
I think the issue here is although he won’t add any additional debt with the takeover he’s also not planning to clear the £500m of existing debt the club already has.
not sure Rashfords body will hold up at CF to be honest.But then what do we do this year? Hope Rasmus can make a massive step-up /be a constant goal threat? Make Rashford our main #9?
... rely on Martial?
Relying on Martial is even worse.
This would be a legit concern if we had just lost our top class main goalscorer, a la Real Madrid.But then what do we do this year? Hope Rasmus can make a massive step-up /be a constant goal threat? Make Rashford our main #9?
... rely on Martial?
In order to improve this current version of Manchester United, however, he just needs to be better than Anthony Martial and Wout fecking Weghorst. It's the best time to make a "project" signing because the bar is so unbelievably low.
Kane will be at Real
Yeah but Ratcliffe's supporters conveniently ignore that fact whenever you question them about clearing debt
Talk is easy, the balance sheet doesnt lie. Hoe are INEOS going to come up with £5-£6billion and pay the interest on that? Cost of borrowing has skyrocketed across the world.
Was relying to @L1nk, but point taken it should be in the other thread.
This kid + Martial + Rashford I guessBut then what do we do this year? Hope Rasmus can make a massive step-up /be a constant goal threat? Make Rashford our main #9?
... rely on Martial?
I’d obviously prefer another striker replacing Martial even if it’s a stop gap considering he’d hopefully actually be available but if we are waiting for Kane I doubt we’d sign two strikers this summer.
Kane will be gone soon I reckon,so who can we get to replace Martial as third option
Talk is easy for SJ as well, how do you even have the slightest clue where any of his money is coming from? Don't tell me reports either because that's can just as easily be spin as anything reported about SJR.
We don't know enough about both of them to say anything either way
Reminds me of Alen Boksic.
Remember him scoring winner against us for both Juventus and Middlesbrough
By not actually paying £5-6b because they don't need to. Their offer has them paying circa £3.9b and they are not borrowing all of it.
Then we should buy him right away. Great, great player, injuries ravaged his career.
This gives more insight on his overall game. He's still quite raw. Definitely cannot be the main striker signing
Man marked and nullified.
