Think I might actually shit myself with excitement if we get Mbeumo. Could potentially be our best right-sided player of the last 20+ years if he came here and continued the monstrous growth he has been showing at Brentford this season.
 
Agreed.

Eze, Bowen. Loads of success stories.
Are you agreeing with him though? Doesn't sound like it - you've only named success stories, I think his point is that you don't know until they are in the prem, as there are as many, if not more, failures than success stories - for every Wharton there is a Scott (and probably far more Scotts than Whartons). It's too easy too just focus on the successes - you've got to be lucky enough to get one...

(Apologies if I've misunderstood either of you).
 
ManU close to having ffp issues and have yet to offload Rashford (wages £350k pw) who was on loan at Villa but without CL they cannot afford him so he's back at ManU, Anthony is on loan at Betis but they are not known for paying high wages so to make deal permanently bound to mean manU subsiding the move. A couple of other high earners to consider

Not sure ManU will be keen on paying anything like £200k pw with no CL income, certainly until they offload their high earners.
They’re not in as bad of a an issue as made out to be. Plus the PL have been unable to close the loophole of clubs selling off parts of their club like Chelsea did, and owners just investing at free will. So Ratcliffe could sell off a business and invest £200m quite easily. The league is about to become more fucked.
 
Heard the same thing about Wharton & Alex Scott when we were linked with them as champo players....... The former has much of the fanbase wanking over him now; the latter barely had a mention since.

Like those 2; we'll find out his fate when he eventually makes the leap.
Spot on.

Anytime we’re linked to a championship player it gets labelled mid table or lack of intent.

Wharton now walks into every PL team, and the same fans are moaning we aren’t trying to sign him. Some fans thinks we have the pull and right to sign the players that City and Madrid can attract.

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.


 
If we somehow do get Mbeumo, Manure fans are going to go mental. lol

They went early and have been celebrating for days.
If Thomas Frank happens then Mbeumo will happen too. He seems to be a father figure for a lot of players in that squad according to media, even more than Ange with Spurs.

Wissa could potentially happen too if a smart replacement of Richarlison is chosen instead of the Vlahovic fantasies

FFP isn't the question, it's what losses your owners will bear. Pretty clear that INEOS isn't in perfect shape and the Glazers/stock market are worse than ENIC.
