Tactico's intensifying on this guy. We could be the France U23s of the Prem
He looks legit tho
Is that for certain we missed out on Mbuemo? I saw he still hadn't decided
I dunno. You seem to want more Soldado's and less Dele's despite Dele being a part of one of our best sides in living memory and Soldado.....not.
I don't really care about price tags, how well known they are or where they have played.
I care that we have thoroughly scouted the player and used a system of metrics to judge whether they will be able to perform that way for us in the PL and CL.
We have failed with big names and big price tags. We lost over £100m on Ndombele, Sessegnon and GLC recently lets not forget.
Probably Mbeumo but if you asked me who we lack more I would say Semenyo. We have Johnson who is a very good scorer like Mbeumo but we don’t have anyone like Semenyo, we don’t have a Nico Williams, Anthony Gordon, Leao profile.
He can't force him to chose Spurs and the fact they often pay absurd wages may be fair enough for not matching them as well.
Levy has many faults, but not outbidding a basket case like United is not one of them.
I’m not in America mate, so I don’t have to sell my first born to pay for it.Blatant I can afford to have an operation post
Just joking Good Luck!!!
Luckily in Australia the govt. pays via our taxes. Just have to wait for a while. Fucking old man’s problem. At least I haven’t had to wait so long I needed a catheter
Maybe when I wake up we’ll have signed Eze and a number 6……..oh wait the anaesthetic doesn’t last till Aug 30th
Mbeumo. Watching Brentford it seemed as if he made players around him better. So much of what they did ran through him. I'd be happy with Semenyo but I'd be delighted with Mbeumo.
You sure the plan isn't to sell Son and Solomon, give that money to Manchester United for Rashford, and then they use that money to buy M'buemo?
No, nothing like Fellani. Quicker and technically much better.
I’d probably take Akliouche. Higher ceiling. But Mbeumo is PL battle ready and grafts harder off the ball.
If we sign Rashford I'm gonna knock on Levy's door and ask for £1,300 back.
70 million on Mbuemo,before you consider 10 million.per year in wages - no thank you.
If he does a Mané then all those championing him will have been provem right. I just don't see that kind of impact..
No interest too old and he looks a right eeejit in that flat cap
Agreed from the highlight reel looks a player . Always risky going on that but I’m all in, it’s how I roll
We were never going to sign him and make him our highest paid player tbf.
All report today suggest United are offering him 250k a week and we were never going to break our wage structure for him. He's a good player but he's not Mbappe or Yamal! 70m and 250k a week is extreme. Worth remembering that he's currently on 45k a week at Brentford! United have just offered him a bizzare 500% increase in wages to get him agree to come. All the other clubs involved would have tried to get him for 120k which was still a substantial rise. I'd imagine Spurs would go as far as 170k a week but United just went extreme so have a clear run at him now.
United have done the same thing to convince players like Sancho, Casimero and De Ligt to come to them. Pay way more than everyone else! Then they end up in that stupid scenario where they can't sell anyone because no other club will match their current wages. Going of recent history, it would not surprise me if Cunha and Mbeumo end up like Sancho and Rashford on big wages but not pulling their weight. Manchester United is the graveyard for ambition.
Of course it is not true. Firstly, Rashford is on ridiculous money (£325k per week) and his contract still has 3 years to run! Secondly, we just signed Mathys Tel who plays in that position, in addition to Son, Odobert and Moore who are queueing up to get minutes at LWF.
