Presume you’re talking about Greenwood here, he won’t be playing on the wing for much longer. He’s a striker.
Yes. Greenwood. I know he's a striker but he will likely play majority of his minutes from the right for the next season or two in my opinion.

Yeah, I can see why they'd go after him this season. Next season, Bayern would go after him if he were still at Leverkusen.

Interestingly, one can say the same about Havertz with regards to Mount.
Bayern already asked months ago (pre-pandemic) for both Havertz and Werner to wait for them until summer 2021.

Not remotely similar as Abramovich is the exact opposite of a money sucking owner, the Glazers own United to fill their own pockets.

Why cant we work on multiple transfers at the same time? It seems we always put our eggs in one basket and have to scramble near the end of the window to get anything done. Results in panic buying and paying over the odds.

Because we don't know how much we'll have to spend to get Sancho (upfront, like)?

Still, "all transfer business" seems to include outgoing transfer, which would be stupid.

It goes on to specify right after the 2 other player roles we want to get in after Sancho, there's nothing saying no outgoing.
It's dumb wording, but pretty certain they mean all incoming.

I suppose it's dumb wording because it's recycled Mirror content. On to the next one.

he’d be the perfect depth to have for a couple of seasons if we can’t get Sancho over the line. The issue is the assumption I’ve made that he’d be happy to rotate. If he demands to be a starter in nearly every game, it’s a non starter because you aren’t dropping Rashford and Martial at this key time in our long term development. But, we need 4 quality options for the front three positions as a bare minimum, and if at 35, he is happy to accept that he’d be rotating, he’d be such an excellent signing. He could easily play 30-35 games a season for us. Let us keep easing Greenwood in.

preference is undoubtedly Sancho though. Can cover both wings, and no 10. Young, and fits the profile of what we are building.

If he is playing 30-35 games, you must be dropping Martial /Rashford - it would be so harmful to our long term development and is a proper Mourinho/Conte, immediate impact, type signing.

Im guessing whatever we pay for Sancho if we ever get him effects the other deals

Is there really any point of posing tweet that doesn't really tell what the context of the article?
It outlines the context quite clearly? Speculation on replacing Matic long term and backups to the Sancho deal if it falls through (Douglas Costa included).

Same guy where quotes came from yesterday. Is he full of it?
I mean it sounds like he's just promoting the situation as BvB want it to be seen in the media. The mail are obviously lapping it up and putting an even more negative spin on it, because they're a fecking rag not worthy to wipe my arse with.

I doubt this Kajumba fella really has a clue what's going on. He's just repeating what BvB have leaked and enjoying the sudden attention he's getting at the same time.

That's the topic of the article not the summarise of what's inside the article. We've already heard Douglas Costa being mentioned in yesterday's article.

That is the article that was being quoted yesterday.

It has previously been said on here that he has strong links to Sancho's camp - one might speculate that the frustration displayed in that article, is reflective of the mood of the player.

Time to out up or shut up - if Solskjaer wants the player, the club need to find the money and get it done.

Not sure what you expect that sort of tweet to say then. It's linking to the article (sole purpose is to drive clicks to the article) so it's not going to spell out all the contents.

I don't moan about the tweet or the twitter account, I moaned to the poster who posted useless tweet. Can't read the article, tweet doesn't give any context of the article at all.

He has very close ties to Sanchos camp. First to announce the deal to Dortmund from City, first to talk about our interest in Sancho and talks with him last summer, first to say Sancho wouldn't move to us without CL football, first to announce his contract extension after the move didn't materialise last summer.

These leaks aren't coming from Dortmund, they're coming from Sanchos agent. How would Dortmund know what wages we're offering Sancho, when they've said there's not been any discussions?

Possibly, but I can see him getting regular minutes up front. We also have literally no depth there. As good as he is, you can't rely on a single 18/19 year old for a full season or two.

After seeing his early Germany and Real Madrid performances, I thought he'd be a true footballing legend by now.

31 and an Arsenal outcast.

I respect Arsenal, but it stumps me why players who are good enough to play for Real Madrid / Barcelona go there in their primes.

Alexis Sanchez should have gone straight to United from Barcelona too and i'm convinced would have been a success at that point, well of course he would have. And won a couple of league titles.

We need a DM and Marc Roca of Espanyol is one of the best around now. Wouldn't cost that much either.

2.5 months of the window to go. It’s not exactly panic stations is it?

I always see this, it isn't quite panic stations but as fans we should be concerned.

City finished second, they sold Sane and decided they want to replace him instantly, got Torres deal done. Pep looked at his team and knew CB is his weakness and went and got a player.

Lampard was screaming for strikers since Jan, their attack needs more clinical players, Ziyech and Werner done.

Clear signs that we will not accept this season, the manager done well but we need more.

Manutd on the other hand, nothing.

It is a repetitive theme every summer. Other teams get their business done early. We have known we need a RW for years now, yet we still cannot get it done. Instead the club have fans believing that Covid has had a bigger effect on us than anyone else and we cannot sign players so Greenwood can do the job.

It is going to be a big mistake.

So what you are saying is that of all our rivals, only Chelsea have improved so far right? And they are sitting on a pile of money because of recent sales en transfer bans. Stop exaggerating.

Chelsea have improved, yes.
City have improved, 2 signed.
Liverpool have improved their squad depth by signing a LB cover
Spurs have improved, they were short in DM, signed a player.

the same squad we finished level points with have improved.
the squads we finished 20+ points behind have improved.

We are here saying patience... October is the deadline, which is 3 weeks into the season. If you think we have to over pay now, watch when the season starts and no one wants to sell players and we will be in big big trouble.

PANIC STATIONS EVERYONE

So you’d rather United just splash the cash willy nilly & sign someone just because you want your fix of United actually signing someone.

It’s not like this deal is the most complex compared to our rivals or it’s probably the most expensive deal of the summer.

But hey, let’s just sign somone for the sake of it

City have lost Sané and Silva, which is a major loss to them. Sané's a better player than the player they bought. Ake is nothing more than a backup player.
Liverpool have signed a young player from Greece who will rarely play.
Spurs have signed an decent player. With the emphasis on decent. He's not a player that is going to lift them. They need a lot of making up to do, and have Mourinho as a coach. Not worried at all.

Yet we are arguably after probably the most exciting talent in European football at the moment, with a good chance we're getting him, with 2 months to go in the transfer window.

You are clearly exaggerating.

Rojo and JLingz like this.
Sometimes I forget how many useless feet we have in our squad. I had almost forgotten Rojo existed.

Was doing an online quiz a few days ago about naming Uniteds post Fergie signings and I missed quite a few on the grounds they were so fecking useless.
