So does a loan with obligation count towards this year or next year's PSR? With ~£80m extra leeway from two transfers we could maybe see a top midfielder coming in..?
 
He will need to put some serious work on his technique to advance his career.
Good luck to him.
 
Scotty, Lukaku, Rasmus, Napoli is red.
Good luck Rasmus, you will do great there. Joined United at the worst possible time.

I like him personally because of his work rate but it wasn't working here and its best for everyone if he moves so I wish him luck too.

Yeah he seems a decent guy. Not his fault our board thought he could be our 1st choice striker when it was obvious he should only ever have been back up.

Depends on how they structure it, it could be something where he counts for this year but the first payment is due at the end of this fiscal season. So they have essentially a year to come up with the money and at the same time we can make our books look better
 
Absolutely the right choice to get rid. There are poor seasons, and there was what he turned out last year. Which was completely unacceptable and he cannot realistically have expected the opp to just go again as if nothing happened. There is no circumstance where his manager should retain any confidence in him after an almost unprecedented level of rubbish last season. There was just nothing from there to work with, just pure pie in the sky blind hope. To get the fee we have managed to is extraordinary in the circumstances.

Now do Zirkzee
 
I like him as a person, can't fault his attitude or commitment either.

As soon as he told he wasn't going to get minutes he went for a full move away.

Meanwhile there's Garna, Sancho, Antony who dragged their heels all summer.

Rasmus I generally hope does really well, great professional.

Next year's. It's not even certain if he's going to be sold; Napoli has to finish in the top 4.

It seems very unlikely we'll add a midfielder at this point. There haven't been solid links to anyone the entire summer.

I think it's Lammens and that's it most likely. Hopefully we can get Antony and Sancho out to help with future flexibility.

I think Zirkzee has a place here. We saw against Burnley that he's a good sub for Cunha when he plays through the middle. Zirkzee lacks goal threat but with Mbeumo playing off him that's less of an issue.
 
the way he deals with his transfer are day and light compared with Sancho, Garnacho and Antony

It is the difference made by having a boyhood fan and mercenaries that grew up hating us (Sancho and Garnacho were chelsea fans) and just played for us for money and reputation

It's a matter of judgement. Him agreeing to a contract until 2030 would suggest evidence of the conditions as non-substantive, meaning recognised per 2025. Take a look at this test case from PwC:

Judgement is required to determine whether there is an existing obligation to transfer the player’s registration rights. If the condition is non-substantive (for example, because it is virtually certain that it will be triggered), the transaction should be accounted for as a permanent transfer when control transfers (consistent with solution 1.9). The sale would be recognised by Real Zurich, and the registration rights would be recognised by F.C. London when the control over the rights transfers at the inception of the arrangement. In this case, further evidence that the condition under which the player returns to Real Zurich might be non-substantive could be found in the signature of a five-year contract between F.C. London and the player.
If the condition is substantive, the transaction would be accounted for as a loan until control over the registration rights is transferred (consistent with solution 1.7).

Hope he does well. Ill be cheering on every positive thing he does for them. Seems like a great, hard-working guy who could still have a great career, just didn't work out with us.
 
Good luck to him I still think there's a player in there and hopefully they play to his strengths or he find a way to reinvigorate his career he looked happy in that arrival and Napoli have some great passionate fans.
 
Such a shame. For once it wasn’t due to a lack of effort or being a massive prick. Just couldn’t cut it. Hope he does become a really good striker.
 
Good luck to the kid. I’ll be following him and hoping he does well.

I think there is a player there and if Napoli can utilise his pace (balls over the top to run into etc rather than into feet), I think he will score goals for them.
 
He will do well because he will be in an easier league, has a solid attitude and a manager who is no-nonsense.
 
Honestly a great piece of business. Wish we could do loan with option for Baleba to get him in this year.
 
The fact we’ve got 44 million for him in the end is very good business.

He’s handled his exit with grace and I hope he kills it back in Italy.

Good enough for the champions of Serie A but not good enough for the team that finished 15th in the PL.

I think he’s going to smash it for Napoli and this is one we’re going to regret a bit in the long run.

You’re talking as if he was banging in 20 goals a season and we decided to sell him? It was wrong of us to make him lead the line so young when he wasn’t ready and it would be an even bigger mistake to wait for that mistake to work itself out a few years down the road, which also isn’t a guarantee.

What are the conditions of the option becoming an obligation? Do we know?

From google translate :

Hojlund, United wins: obligation to buy. Verbal agreement with Napoli

Sky Sport reports that a deal for Hojlund could be finalized as early as tomorrow between Napoli and United. The tug-of-war between the clubs has been reportedly won by Manchester United. Sky reports that a verbal agreement has been reached on the condition set by the English club: a loan with an obligation to buy for €45 million only if they qualify for the Champions League. The Dane's number of appearances will not count.
