This is a Cafe transfer special. Albeit 5 years late. Cucurella should have just refused to play until his future was settled.I remember it was Reguilon or Telles at some point in the past, and folks here wanted himcruel twist of fate

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
There's a very real chance none of it happens at all
In that conversation they talk about “Arab money” to buy “Kane, Rice”
we’ve spent enough money in recent years to buy them ten times over
So yer money on the team has been spent ?
not sure I’m wrong there
But you could apply this logic to every team on the planet. It'd help if they just bought another player or two.
At some point you have to say that's enough money spent. Enough has been given to managers to create a very good team.
Which it has at United.

Nice tactic scare Chelsea into thinking we ain't desperate for cucurella And hopefully drop the loan fee by a few thousand.
We are looking for a LB for 6-8 games. If Chelsea really want a large loan fee + if his wages are high, its not going to happen.
Uniteds dealings reminds me of a team under Allardyce or Redknapp from the 2000s.
Casemiro isn't exactly helping either. Our midfield this season has been terrible with him in it.
Does that mean we should expect Ten Hag hanging out of his car window announcing we've signed Niko Kranjcar?
Yep. Big wheeler and dealer vibes. Even Del Boy could do a better job.

Reguilion the worst of an utterly shite trio
Looking forward to all this being over it gets more and more underwhelming by the day
This keeps getting better and better.
I’m exhausted.
And you just know Murtough is having lobster and caviar for dinner tonight.

Sounds like he'll go if Amrabat arrives.
Cue all the journalists trying to figure out when he played against an ETH team in his career.
feck just loan Tagliacifo. At least he knows Martinez and Ten Hag (altough for whatever reasons he didnt play much under him). Still gotta be better than Reguilon.
just feckin keep Fernandez if the only option is Reguilon ffs. Don’t want to sell McT? Then decide on Mejbri. Feckin useless dithering bastards
Reguilon... Yeah, we are in the peak of our banter era. Or maybe we never really climbed down from it?
Grim.
Quite a few wanted Telles at the time too - he was hailed as the future! Shows what the caf knows collectively.I remember it was Reguilon or Telles at some point in the past, and folks here wanted him
According to Sébastien Denis (Tier 4), Tagliafico's departure (loan or permanent) was blocked by Lyon.

Isnt Reguilon third or fourth choice for Spurs? I know its emergency, but wouldnt the youth players who played with the rest of our players pre-season be a better choice? They would be more willing to listen to instructions too, and they are already here.
The pain never ends
Can't get a game for them to the point where he was loaned out to Atletico last season, where he also couldn't get a game.
Shitshow
I do enjoy watching people in threads like this arguing we shouldn't take most of these tweets serious and that United is used as clickbait, while at the same time many folks overreact to said tweets.
Must be depressing if your club doesn't allow you to join United where you would be a short term solution
Surely there must be a Dutch left back he can sign. van Aanholt?
People losing their minds about these players, they are basically signing somebody for a season who'll be 3rd choice most likely by Christmas I can't see players would be lining up for that

Agreed. I'm not too bothered about the left back situation we do need to get someone in though as contrary to popular belief I don't think Fernandez is ready.
Centre mid should still be our priority.
With every development it's looking stupider and stupider to chase a left back on loan when we have Dalot and Fernandez here. We would be no worse off and would save money in the process.
Clearly wasn’t good enough for Spurs so I’m not sure why we think he’s good enough for us
Because we're probably paying a loan fee for someone less useful than Dalot.
Is Fernandez that bad ?
Thought he looked promising during pre-season and there wasn't many positives to take away from pre-season.

If Dalot goes down we have Fernandez and Wan Bissaka as our only full backs for 3 months, surely you see these LB signings are more for depth than anything else until Shaw and Malacia get fit why would we spend a lot of money on what is essentially a stop gap due to injuries
