Missed that. But even so, only 20m this year. It’s in 2/3 years time I guess when a few windows spend adds up that it reaches the point where they’ll need to start selling

Let this thread be only for posting tweets and no other discussion. Discussion about player should be in their respective thread.
Any idea what the first offer for Pavard was?
Low.
Joachim ?
The talk in rags was that the deal was maybe doable at 30m€, for what it is worth.
30m€ is 30m€?!
Yes, but the press speculation is less nailed on.
This finally happening might slightly lessen the blow of a few more years with the Glazers, though it's happening as the same sort of speed that the 'takeover' was before it ran out of steam. Hopefully the same won't happen here!
I'm not crazy about this potential signing. Pavard's a very good player but I'd prefer Todibo or Tapsoba for cb and at rb I'd prefer us target Frimpong next season. A case of a good player at a good price but where there are better potential options for our specific squad imo.
It's all well and good buying potential, but we aren't Brighton or brentford. A 25 Yr old ready made international makes far more sense..
27 if you meant Pavard
Put the thread on ignore because fed up of no one wanting us to sign him whatsoever. Would you still feel the same IF Erik was still looking to bring in one of those mentioned next summer
I agree with this. Prefer for us to sign specialist CB and specialist RB. I'm tired of tweeners. Good at both but not great at any. There are better options more suited to our team than him in both positions. I'd rather we signed Todibo at CB and go after Vanderson next summer.
It would be a good signing. We don't need a first choice CB right now as long as Varane and Martinez stay fit and he would be a good upgrade at RB.
The price is fair, he is at a good age and also has the experience of winning the biggest tournaments. Getting in players with a winning mentality is hugely important especially when we are trying to bed younger players like Hojlund, Garnacho, Mainoo and maybe Amad / Hannibal / Pellistri into the team.
Pretty sure I've heard he wants to play at cb not rb. Why would he want to move from Bayern where he's their starting rb to being a backup cb at Utd? He's not good enough to be our 1st choice cb and he's in his prime already so he won't improve
Varane is very injury prone and they’d probably share the same amount of games at CB
Are Villa interested in Maguire? Any tweets?
Could well just fancy the new challenge. Bayern have won what 8-9 titles in a row now.
Yeah think much like Rapha & Casemiro I reckon he does just want a new challenge
Announce McTominay, you soft southern fannies.
Exactly. ETH will definitely rotate Varane so he’s available at key points of the season rather than running him into the ground and then have him out of action for the run in.
Varane was the one who was vocal about the number of games to be played so I am sure he is onboard with the rotation too.
He said this about 9 months ago. Sounds like he just fancies something new. I also haven't been able to find anything about him demanding to play CB, just that he sees that as his natural position but will play wherever he's asked.
Don't think there is much of a pay off coming.. It's between Maguire and West Ham to figure it out.
Hopefully we learn a lesson about handing out stupid wages. Sadly I don't think this will be our last pay off. We still have Martial and possibly Sancho to offloadThe only transfer in the history of transfers where we have to pay a player off

Pretty sure this isn't as rare a thing as people are making out.
It’s not, it’s a regular part of a footballer breaking contract to transfer to another team. Folk here just love whipping up drama to beat the club/player with because they get their kicks from being constantly irate and morally superior.
In fact secondary reason for us not getting FDJ was Barca had to pay him 17 million payoff. First being he didn't want to leave Barcelona even if it was being sucked into a literal Black Hole.
That was money that was actually owed to FDJ as a result of deferrals taken to be fair
No it’s common practice, this is just another case of United doing something so it’s reported to death as if it isn’t commonplace.The only transfer in the history of transfers where we have to pay a player off
Surely any player compensation ought to be factored in to the transfer fee.
How much will PSG need to pay Neymar? What about Kane's payoff?
