Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

He’s still a good player and will be a big improvement for their terrible midfield, but spending 65 million and paying 350K per week for him is a classic United move.

Their fans will never learn either......

In the last week or so I've heard countless times "I'd be happy enough to play the kids and just accept a few years in the wilderness if it meant healthily rebuilding the culture of this club."......... The first sniff of new investment (be it partial or a takeover) they're all like "....how much will they spend??? .....who can we sign???"

Casemiro will get more red cards than Xhaka without the Real Madrid factor.

 

[prinmemo]

Hope you are being sarcastic , he doesn't play with half the intensity of his younger days now. His legs are gone.

Typical ManU retirement home style signing, his mega wages is going to sink that joke of a club even deeper

He is not really a starter at RM anymore. I don’t think they’ll miss him much.

Keep it coming. I love that they are run like shit.

It won't be 350 k a week. That's ridiculous but neither will it be peanuts.

What it is from a club like United is an absolutely scatterhun desperate approach.

If they are lucky they will come out of this with a top 8 side but right now they don't have a player who would feature in a best Prem squad of 22.

Makelele was incredible.

Holds nose, but Vieira? Suppose it depends on whether he's 'defensive' enough. You could say he was more box to box.

Anyone with an entire position named after them is a contender for best team of all time IMO

Phillips is 17. So there's a decision to be made, as 3 years at Spurs prior to the age of 21 would make him Club HG, which is the most valuable category of player for any team.

For me, it then becomes a balance between how much he would develop in, say, a Championship loan as opposed to staying at Spurs and learning from Conte & our defensive coaches.

At his age, spending at least the first half season at Spurs, training with the first team, could be really important in instilling good defensive habits and also getting him settled at the club. Then Conte & Paratici could make a decision in the January window based on his progress.

Dier is 28, whatever gets this guy developed to a level where he could take over in 3 years would be the way to go.

Dele Ali is done for as premier league footballer. He will be remembered as a good player for spurs who had the world at his feet. Let's move on from it all now and keep this thread about spurs transfers only lol

 

[jack sparrow]

I have no idea how Atalanta could afford his wages, but that would be an excellent move for both parties imo.

they can but they won't

Casemiro is a great signing for United.

The greatest CDM in the history of club football.

He’s not better than Terry Hurlock.

 

[Perryman]

Casemiro will go from playing with Kroos and Modric to Fred and Mctominay.
Best of luck.

Maybe you should have added some emojis ...as some people may think you're serious...

My mate played for Southampton with Hurlock in the 90’s. Absolute loon

it's a great signing, he will solve their midfield

I’m assuming this is a joke

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

£60m for a 30 year old and £42 for Gibbs White. The premier league has truly lost its mind.

He's a good player. That being said, in RM he played in one of the best midfield 3 and in utd he's going to be knee deep in a shit swamp

Perhaps. But it's probably still unclear which CB position would best suit Phillips skillset. The CCB in Conte's system is the organiser, so they need a lot of experience & game intelligence.

I remember when we signed young CB Leigh Mills. IIRC he was captain of England U17s and a major prospect.

Sadly, it never worked out for him in terms of top flight football. Another reminder that there are no guarantees.

I don't second guess Conte. After Kulusevski people should have learned. His age is irrelevant if they think he can add to our title aspirations goid enough for me. The hysteria from doubters when we signed Bentancur was insane full of all the doubts you have expressed. If they want the Ukrainian fine if they don't that's fine too. Hope that clarifies my disagree.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I also added to my post that I am sceptical, but if Conte and Paratici want him then so be it.
I also did not say he is a shit or useless player. I just brought out specific issues that curbed my enthusiasm.

I mean otherwise we should shut down this section of the forum - if Conte and Paratici want and Levy wills sign off = it happens; if any of them do not = it does not happen and all the discussions would be just pointless .

But it all seems irrelevant as this potential transfer if off the table and most likely we never were interested in him to begin with. If it would be between us and Marseille, and both would be equally interested then there would be no question about it.
