I think there is a big chance Timber will be starting right-back next season.Understand Palace thoughts regarding Bissaka. Personally makes absolutely no sense for us to loan him.In my opinion he is still our best right back even though the options are poor. Selling Bissaka should be with the view of raising funds to replace him, loaning him doesnt allow us too. Are peopl eenuinely happy regardless of priorities for us to be starting with Dalot with Laird as back up next season?
They’re an ambitious club, who want to build on the long-term and who manifested their interest this winter. Since then, contacts never stopped. It’s typically the type of environment where he could continue to grow and go to the next level.
It [the price] will need to be over €20m. Beyond that, there is a need to be reasonable.
I don’t like to create expectations where there aren’t any, it’s a difficult issue to resolve. Today I have a contract with Tottenham, the fee is difficult for São Paulo, there is also the salary. It’s difficult. The reality is that I do think about returning, but I never made a clear date.
Why not? It might be. It’s going to be 10 years, I’ll still be fine, I’m 29 years old. I’ll have a lot of wood to burn, it’s a possibility. If something doesn’t come up that catches my eye in a big club in Europe, a club that I like, São Paulo is a very strong possibility.
I think yes, São Paulo has always been on my mind. When I see it approaching the end of the contract and I still haven’t had any contact with a specific club, which I would like, São Paulo is a very strong option. Back to my country, to the club where I was formed…But you have to wait and see how it goes.
Now is the time to give Steve all the ammunition he needs, to be able to not only survive but bring some good results. We have to invest more. Everybody talks about the television rights and money that comes in, but it is not enough for clubs in the first year. That’s why we must not be the poorer relatives of the Premier League. We need to buy some good players and some that will make the difference and have the experience who know the division. We need to be careful how we spend and make the right choices.
Yes, Steve will be with us. He has another year left on his contract but I want him to be happy. I want to give him the players that make him even happier to achieve big results and to make all these fantastic fans happy.
Manchester United: Diogo Dalot towards permanence [i.e. staying in Manchester United for next season]
Loaning AWB back to Palace should be a last resort if we can't find anyone to fork out £20mil for him, but I think we will.
Barcelona is very optimistic about the signing of Marcos Alonso. The Blaugrana club knows perfectly well that Chelsea will facilitate his departure, asking for a reasonable amount for the transfer. Everything done between Alonso and Barça.
Mentioning sales isn’t the same as an actual sale. Mata, Matic, Jesse, Pogba and Cavani are key areas to replace, right back isn’t a key area as of this moment in time.
If that changes it’ll be Timber as it’s widely reported he wants him and it makes sense for him to get a few of his own men in the ranks.
I certainly need to look at the goalkeeping situation. We would love to keep Nathan Bishop so we have already instigated a discussion with Manchester United about that. Ideally I think they want him to go into the league above, but if it's a lower League One club we are hoping to only be five or six places below them.
Nathan knows us and I think he enjoys working with Seamus McDonagh. That has got to be one of the major attractions for him. He is working with one of the best goalkeeping coaches and one of the most experienced goalkeeping coaches in the country. He has just played 52 games for us, which I think is more than he has played in his career. Do the same again next season and you will improve again.
Napoli , the point on the renewal of Fabian Ruiz: the situation
Medical Tuesday
Fee of up to 24.5 million euros
Not swift. They have allegedly been working on those two deals since April 2021(!).Bayern getting those two Ajax deals over swift.
Come on, United......
I think there is a big chance Timber will be starting right-back next season.
- The Italian media has been spreading rumours of Dalot returning to Italy.
- Roma & Fiorentina are two of the clubs linked to him.
- Currently, Dalot is not for sale (though the situation can change in a few months).
- Dalot wants to stay.
- Ten Hag considers him an important player.
- Reminder: Dalot's contract expires in 2023.

Stade de Reims president Jean-Pierre Caillot on Newcastle's interest in Ekitike:
Andreas Pereira's manager says midfielder won't stay at Flamengo: "He's going to Europe".
In Fla [i.e. Flamengo], the understanding is that the purchase is very unlikely today and that Manchester United will not likely increase the loan period

Stupid was giving him the 4 year deal last time around. Another masterclass by Ole.Unless we have someone ready to take him on loan for his final year of contract. It would be stupid to get him back on our bench and waste the wage on him. He's simply not good enough.
In terms of ability forgetting performances and attitude, would be one of the first I would sell. Only reason for me for keeping him is the cotnract runs out in a year so he is a short term squas solution, Still cant believe so many have him in starting elevens next season yet are desperate for Bisska to leave. Both probably should but I know who I would rather have by a million miles starting if there were no other options
RB is equally important, both our fullback areas are shockingly bad.
This is nothing personal against him as an individual but as a player his performances have been woefully bad, his performances have warranted not even wasting time with continuing to keep him. He's offensively average and defensively poor. People made a thread for Trent about his defending I'd love to see open discussion on Dalots defending. He still hasn't recovered from being absolutely blitzed a few seasons ago at Goodison park. Easily the worst performance I've seen of any United professional.
Williams has been a regular player for two Premier League teams. He'd easily attract interest from PL teams. Championship teams would be outbid.Selling AWB has been mentioned a lot, that makes room, Laird will go on loan and Williams likely will as well, if not he'd be an easy sale to a Championship side.
