I think United have got the valuation absolutely spot on there but I’m still not convinced there will be any takers.


£25m - £30m = -£5m

He's still rated in Italy (especially given the history of United cast-offs doing well there; his previous promising spell with Atalanta) etc. If anything we could be going for more. I've seen 40m fees from other journalists.
 
I can't stand the thought of not having Bruno next season.

I do agree though that 100 million is a very fair price and, if used well lolz, could mean 2-3 very good players can be signed in addition to those already targeted

I see what you did there.

Despite the general disdain for Hojlund's ability, he's still only 22 and has enough quality and potential to drive a pretty decent fee I believe. I could see us accepting 30m for him, but I would want any deal to contain two or three things: (1) Significant achievable add-ons - potentially up to 20m in add-ons if he goes on to be a big success, (2) A significant sell-on fee, and (3) A buy back fee.

He is absolute dog shit. Physique is all he has, he has no footballing instinct whatsoever.

Selling Bruno for 100m, along with Hjolund, Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, should let us raise around 250m. That alone should be enough to rebuild the attack and midfield. We don’t need a big squad, we need a solid 11 first before we worry about depth, we’re not in Europe.

Don't forget Antony, as well. I'd add that hopefully Casemiro is sold as well. Could be as much as 300m if this is true about Bruno and he accepts. He's 31. You have to take that.
 
For those wondering about links to homegrown PL players; we only have the following who qualify as homegrown.

Heaton
Evans
Maguire
Shaw
Heaven
Collyer
Mainoo
Amad
Garnacho
Mount
Rashford
Obi

Assuming Rashford, Garnacho, Collyer & Evans go that leaves us with 8.

PL rules require 8/25 be homegrown. We could run a lean squad and leave some squad spaces empty but if the likes of Shaw, Maguire or Mainoo also leave then we’ll definitely be short of numbers.

I was wondering about our homegrown quota. So surely if we lose a few they need to be looking at players who have come through academies here? Is that how it works or does it have to be your academy? I hope they do not do it on the cheap and promote our kids that just are nowhere near ready yet.
 
C'mon, I love Bruno as much as any United fan, but 100 million? I'll carry him to Saudi on my back for that.
Mental if we don't do it.

Amass too. Beyond that, we'll likely promote at least one other defender and hopefully one of the midfielders/AM, then buy in one 'home-grown' player. Collyer isn't guaranteed to leave (think the manger likes him as a reserve option - he's got the best engine out of all the CMs)
 
We’ll regret selling Bruno.

No one at Utd knows how to recruit.

They’ll end up buying some youngsters who’ll inevitably succumb to the immense pressure and be the next Hojlund.

Unlikely in this case. We've been linked to Mbeumo who'd be a fantastic signing along with Cunha.

For the PL it can be any academy graduate.

For Europe it has to be 4 of your own plus 4 from your country. Not a concern right now though.

Bringing in 300 million ? That’s not happening unfortunately

Yeah, forgot Amass.

I don’t expect Fredericson to keep his role. Seems like a loan is more likely for him.

Heaton staying in that 3rd goalkeeper role helps because that’s not a position you want to use up.

I’m not sure any of our other midfielders or attacking midfielders are ready to be promoted. You’d think we might have seen them off the bench by now if so.

Who would be most likely do you think? Fletcher? Ibragimov? Mantato?

I should say Dibling and Delap makes a lot of sense in that regard. Delap has a clause and Dibling obviously coming from a relegated team.

It’s a risk too but I’d like to see us look at the Sunderland boys Rigg & Bellingham. We shouldn’t be scared of selective purchases from the Championship. Watkins, Wharton and others show you that.
 
im getting serious spurs selling bale and buying loads of dross with the massive fee vibes..remembwr the likes of soldado and capoue

I remember being absolutely devastated losing Beckham, and then we got Ronaldo, a youngster who was so raw I thought could turn out a flop. not saying we should spend Bruno's money on raw young talent but it taught me to just let players you adore and rate highly go, it could mean progress. Just hope INEOS actually do know how to invest

Mantato, maybe Moorhouse (who's been on the bench - think Amorim should have tried him by now TBH) or Fletcher. Ibragimov is probably going to spend another year between 18s and u21s, from what I can gather. Fredericson's had one good game, one slightly difficult one. I think if he does a little more gym work and performs on tour, then he might be around Aug-Jan before they think about a loan for extra minutes if needs be.

Ibragimov maybe a bit young still. Thwaites also.

Kukonki not a midfielder but hopefully get some minutes, else needs a loan.
 
Whether it's a bad idea or not (I'm 50/50), I am convinced that Bruno won't go this summer.

That's exactly my worry too.

It will be easier to sell, but who can come in and produce straight away like Bruno did?

And it's not like we are very good at buying players

A few might go on tour but in general our youngsters are very hyped up. Heaven and Obi are real talents but can't see anyone else getting in our squad next season. Amass might have some chance depending on injuries.

People were saying all our signings in the summer would be fantastic signings and with the possible exception of Yoro all have been poor. People always say this about the players we sign, but normally they don't reproduce the performances they had at other clubs here. Getting rid of genuinely the only signing we made that did perform, and expecting all the signings we're going to make to replace him to suddenly work out, is optimistic to say the least.
 
I really hope we've improved our scouting department because we literally can't afford to get this summer as wrong as we usually do.

We need to unearth some ultra-hidden gems too, because even the hidden gems are now being hoovered up by the likes of PSG, and we don't have the money or the pulling power to compete for players with the big boys anymore.

That would be the scouting department that is subject to a bunch of redundancies? I do appreciate your optimism, however!

That's an extremely underwhelming mid-table looking list apart from Cunha. For 100m, we better get more.

Who wouldn't you consider underwhelming and please make the names remotely realistic
