Lyall is a shit source though isn't he?! Would think he's probably right on this one but wouldn't usually put much stock in his pieces as he's usually full of shit like rest of SSN journosfinally news from an actual source

Wasn't overly keen on Frank but if we get Mbeumo then it was a good move. He is exactly what we need and Frank is probably the deciding factor
Same with Garnacho. Fuck him and any other Utd cast offs.
He's settled in London and has worked well under Frank. Really close to Wissa and a few others.
I can't really see, money aside, why anyone would want Man Utd. Very few players (if any) improve when they go there, and there's a good chance they will change manager soon enough (IMO), and he'll be competing potentially with Diallo, Sancho, Garnacho etc. at the current state
Cos we're man united
With us likely to lose Son and given both Mbeumo and Semenyo are rumoured to cost circa £70m each, Mbeumo has to be first choice on the following grounds:
- a Frank favourite
- proven goal scorer and assists
- a clear better G/A return to Semenyo
- he’s a wide forward whereas Semenyo is more of a wide attacking midfielder
- Frank at Brentford played wide forwards as opposed to wingers
Knowing us, we’ll sign Semenyo
- a Frank favourite
- proven goal scorer and assists
- a clear better G/A return to Semenyo
- he’s a wide forward whereas Semenyo is more of a wide attacking midfielder
- Frank at Brentford played wide forwards as opposed to wingers
Knowing us, we’ll sign Semenyo
Its a Goldbridge meme
Then post the meme for us who aren't down with kids.
In discussions for mbuemo. Might as well have their ground as well.
History innit, that’s why they beat us in the final, their history
Tactically as well Mbeumo knows where he will fit for Frank at Spurs, surely he is looking himself at the formation Utd played last season and asking himself where he fits in? He isn't built to be a 9 in the PL, he doesn't have much aerial presence, and wouldn't do well playing with his back to goal, so he's going up against new £62.5m signing Cunha and current best player in the team Bruno Fernandes for one of the 10 roles behind the 9.
Eze, Embeumo, Tapsoba, Hjulmand, Mcatee, Rios,
Nope. None of them.
There's something wrong with him, isn't there?
Wouldn't accept a free drink from him
I wouldn't want him near any sharp items if United let him down. Which is more common than ever.
There have been almost zero rumours about a LB or LCB, so I think its a position we think we can muddle through on like last season.
If Romero leaves, needs replacing
DM likely upgrade on Bentancur.
Up front we have Solanke, Johnson and Odobert who will be our core attackers with - an age related declining Son,
- a constantly injury hit Richarlison who needs to move as he's rarely available to play
- an18 year old in August Miley Moore who will play maybe twice as much as last season.
- 18 year old Yang didn't show enough at QPR last season so another loan.
I think we pass on Tel who needs too much development to bring in a more experienced player able to hit the deck now for goals/assists etc.
If we can get a decent fee for Son, then I think he goes and we buy as good as we can find, if money available.
So in short we are likely to need 2 decent forwards in to join Solanke, Johnson, Odober and a developing Mikey Moore. We may need either Scarlett or Lankshear in the squad to help cover no 9 position as we might be light in terms of forwards.
Likely bring Donley (covering Madison/Kulusevski creativity) and Devine (covering DM, AM and both wings) into squad - both List B so not taking up squad place
Would take that window in a heart beat.
It’s never happening though
Can you imagine Levy trying to do a deal for Tapsoba when Leverkusen just had £115m drop into their bank account
