How much longer on his contract?
The £100m Question: Who will be our first?
- Thread starter BarryWinks
- Start date
IF we ever spend that amount all the people wanting us to do so will rejoice and then itll turn out the transfer is 99.6 million.
Bellingham to replace Bruno 2028 xx
Not happening while the Glazers are here
We'll probably buy a sub from the Spanish bench for £100 million next summer, if those are the prices for England players
Not a chance we ever get Olise or Bellingham. They would cost double that and will have their pick
His contract runs to 2029, so we won't hear anything even close to rumors until next summer. I think he'll come to England after RM the question will be when, he probably will stay for another 5 years which will take him to 28 after that I can see RM start looking for the next big thing and he may want a different challenge by then
That's a fair point, likewise if we're not in the mix for the best players we won't be winning anything of value anytime soon either.
Right now how many of the best players are even looking to move? Maybe Vini if he can't get his deal? After that the quality drops. The hope would be that some players would just want to come here no matter what but I think we have to at least be a close 2nd for that to happen
I can see him coming back to England, I just don't think we will be in the running for him
I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say we should very much be in the mix for the top English talent.
If we are unable to attract that talent it’s surely time for massive changes in the boardroom.
Keeping costs down for Ebeneezer Ratcliffe and his Glazer masters shouldn’t be a priority over putting United back on top.

Well I for one am glad it wasn't Morgan Rogers at 117.
Vini feels like the maybe.

There has been talk of us signing Enzo Fernández this summer. Whilst I find this unlikely, this would certainly require over £100m.
Think it would have been Anderson if he was happy to join us personally.
Other than that I think the day Bellingham wants to leave Madrid there will be a whole list of clubs willing to pay whatever it takes, us included.

I think the aim should be to stay in the CL positions for the next couple of seasons, target a couple of cup wins and see how far we get in the league challenges. That would start building our finances again and our reputation. If we win the league it’ll be a very very nice surprise but I’m not expecting it
I think Bellingham - maybe next summer when he falls out with Mourinho.
He's always been quite fond of Man United and very nearly joined prior to Dortmund.

I hope never. The valuation is getting crazier and crazier.
Bellingham would be worth it of course, but there's a huge question mark if he ever would want to join
It is unlikely but it would make some sense of Chelsea's spending. I guess it could have been agreed with the player asking for to wait until after the world cup, but yeah, still unlikely.
It's not happening until the skint owners we have in charge of our club in Glazers and Ratcliffe
We are going to shop from 2nd and 3rd rung as our ambition is CL places so the money keeps rolling it, there's no appetite to compete for big trophies in PL and CL under this ownership so this is all a big waste of time.

To the who say we never will spend that much, may I introduce you to the basic concept of inflation. It is only a matter of time before we hit this figure, just like it’s only a matter of time before we pay twice as much for tickets, Sky sports, etc
He will go to whoever are top dogs. Unfortunately I think it will be too soon for us, we will be trying to consolidate as a cl side and still need plenty. He would've been a brilliant Bruno replacement though
And Ineos.
Unfortunately this is true.
I don’t know what’s worse, awful unambitious owners, or a fan base that eats up the “no value in the market” bullshit peddled by the owners.
Our owners don't need to be ambitious if our fans aren't either. Although I think there's people working for the club on forums, they completely ignore what it takes to be a top team and are happy with everything they do
This.
Wharton for 101 deadline day
The lesser of two evils in my book. I don't much care for Ratman and his mates but I have a visceral hatred of the Glazer family.
Or the Muppets that equate fee size with quality and fit, while automatically talking down anyone else that joins for less than 60 million.
Twice now I've aloud called you an unsavoury name as a result of scrolling through these.
Keep em coming
I feel called out for making one shit joke then trying again when no one noticed the first

With Ratcliffe here? Nobody.
Ironically it probably would've happened by now. INEOS are the penny pinchers. Glazers did tend to splash the cash but had useless people watching the club.
Can't see us breaking 100m in the next 5 years though. I think we are going to become a selling club and spend the next year's in midtable hell
Idk
They splashed the clubs cash for a while after Sir Alex retired but as you referenced they did it so badly while letting their debt fester that there wouldn't have really been any left to splash in that way if they were still in charge.
So you are happy with our transfer business then?
My real hatred for Ineos comes from the fact that they bailed those parasites out when they were on their knees. They gave them a lifeline that didn’t require a full sale and now we are stuck with them.
Gotta be Junior Kroupi next summer, now we've been given a lifeline due to his purported move to Tottenham falling through after breaking his foot.
So far, yep. If the window closes like this, no.
I feel next summer we'll be talking about CBs, and upgrading on Cunha / Mbeumo. I wouldn't mind splashing out 100m on Cunha upgrade for a proper winger.
Yes, until the sky falls in. Unless Musk decides he's a United fan, the only entity that can buy United is a state.
