The way Inter got murdered down his side in the final probably knocked a few million off his value.

Thinking as to who I would like to see us sign. I don't follow all the other European leagues anywhere near as closely as I used too and am abit unaware of the up and coming players in Europe and beyond.
I really don't think our first team is anywhere near as bad as many make out and it also carries players with huge potential also.
I'd like to see
Eze 65m
Ederson 40m?
Lcb/lb 30m
Another forward player would be fantastic, mbueno or mitoma or even grealish for his ball carrying, dribbling, retention ability. I'm not a big fan of tel but I'm happy to follow what frank, lange, partatici feel.
Porro---------Romero---VDV---------Udogie
--------------Ederson-------Bergvall-----------
------ ----------Maddison------------------------
--------Johnson--Solanke---Eze--------------
This imo Is a very good side. Very well balanced and abit of everything in there from front to back. Eze inside left, johnson much more infield making those runs in behind. Ederson and begvall controlling the tempo with a great range of passing between them. As I said an mbueno too would be brilliant but optimistic. Frank would get this unit well versed.
Bench options looking ok to. Spence, bentancur, kulu, son, richy, danso, gray, moore
If son does go then another top calibre attacker is needed, mitoma as I mentioned.
Unfortunately I'd be selling bissouma and sarr.
Doesn't look anywhere near as doom ang gloom as many make out.

He’s shit. He’s always been shit.
Haha username checks out
See how we take Rashford on loan and cough up for 40-50% of his wages so it helps them get Mbeumo and Gyokeres.
I think they are alright actually. There was an article on the Athletic the other day saying they’ve done some kind of funky financial move with a sister company to reduce their ffp commitments by about £100 million so they’re well within the limits.
Manchester United, Red Football Limited and the battle to stay PSR compliant
How are United still spending heavily on players without selling and on the back of their worst season in decades?www.nytimes.com
Its difficult to be sure, but I think its predicated upon getting rid of some of their highest earners this window, even with whatever funky financial moves they do - their 3rd quarter results came out the other day showing results with the likes of Rashford and Anthony on loan (ie wages off ManU books) and their wages bill had shrunk to 44 % of revenue (almost tracking Spurs)
The PL will never ever touch City, United, Chelsea...no matter how much those clubs fuck about with their finances. They'll always find them an excuse, a loophole, a back door cause they know foreign TV rights & other revenue streams would take a battering without them big names in the league & European comps.
Much easier to take it out on Everton, Leicester, Forest & co.
Stunned. Never saw it coming.
I’ve been told we’ve made a formal bid for Garnacho from a reliable source in Manchester .
You keep Gentle Ben, you don't need to sign a new LCB and/or LB for another season. That's a big win in the money column. Don't wanna be reckless and do a Leeds. That 35% wage-to-turnover ratio ain't gonna happen without some more astute Levynomics.
I guarantee you Levy thinks:
- Keepers: no business required
- CB: no business required...Cuti goes, we've already got his replacement in Danso. No need for a new LCB when we've just extended Ben and Archie can deputise for Micky. Also got Vusko & Ash coming back from successful loans
- FB: we're good with Porro, Djed, Udo and Ben/Archie's
- CM: we can afford to let Biss go, we've got plenty with Archie, Lucas, Rod, Kulu, Mads, Sarr plus Alfie Devine & Donley
- Wingers: Brennan, Odobert, Mikey, Sonny, Kulu...just need to get Tel done
- ST: we're sweet with Dom and Richy, plus Dane & Lanks getting a few games here & there. If Richy goes, maybe we get a DLC type...even Jamie Vardy
Yeah the hype for that kid is overblown. He's only played 36 PL games.
Or maybe he wants the new manager to assess the squad.
Maybe the new manager has already said he's happy to keep Ben as other positions are more pressing.
It's a myth that Levy doesn't spend money.
He spends money on fees - it's wages he's massively strict on.
The main issue in recent years is that the big money isn't spent wisely.
I was thinking the same, not a bad bench option to have on a 1 year deal if nothing else happens in terms of striker signing ! Vardy can have a Solanke level output even at current age and his sheer experience will be invaluable in CL
Hmm. I like him as a player, but not sure what his best position is.
We need about 6-7 signings this summer, a left back was one of them. Now the club has depth in 2 positions it needed depth in for no real outlay.
I understand why they did it but only accept it as a decision if the money saved goes towards the other 5-6 areas we desperately need quality in.
