So we have some positive news, all be it from the media, clubs now looking at Sancho, Rashford, Nacho and Hojlund, we hopefully be looking at around 130 -150 mill, we still have Antony, Malacia and maybe Mount and Onana. We would have to replace the keeper Martinez from Villa, 35 mill mentioned. So we need to get Mbeumbo over the line, hopefully the funds are already there for that and then try and get a CF and CDM for around 130million, simple ???.
1.) 21 Jun 2025 15:55:06
Don't expect to see mount leave.
2.) 21 Jun 2025 16:22:31
Yes, simple. ?.
3.) 21 Jun 2025 17:02:03
I think we are working on the outgoings now.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see one out and one in.
Eg Sancho to Napoli unlocks Bryan Mbeumo.
Mbuemo looks a done deal and can only thing the delay is for us to work on outgoings.
4.) 21 Jun 2025 17:04:45
Where do u see this?
Ornstein and a few reliable ones didn't mention anything in the last days.
5.) 21 Jun 2025 19:07:26
this morning a tabloid had keeper martinez from villa at 17 mill. personally anything over 20 i won't be interested.
6.) 21 Jun 2025 19:07:47
Orny is reliable but plays it safe and late.
Theres a lot of reports of Sancho to Napoli and Juventus. Garnacho to Napoli, Athletico, Villa.
I’ve not seen anything on Rashford tbf.
7.) 21 Jun 2025 21:00:12
A lot of reports suggesting different clubs generally means nothing concrete. All it means is that an agent has been offering their player around, and a few clubs could, potentially, be interested. It doesn’t indicate any agreement on fees, or even agreement with the player on salary.
With Sancho, we know the biggest barrier to a transfer is his wage demands. He rejected Chelsea’s offer, and I can’t see any club in Italy offering better wages than they offered him.
With Garnacho, the club have placed a high valuation on him. Amorim is happy to keep him as a squad player, and his contract is locked down for another few years. I’m not entirely convinced clubs will be willing to meet United’s valuation. Clubs are probably looking at him, but there has been no evidence of anyone making an actual approach.
8.) 22 Jun 2025 10:10:48
I think of the 4 attacking players on offer, Garnacho is the one I'd prefer to retain. He gets me off my seat more than the others, is on the least wages, has the high.
9.) 22 Jun 2025 10:28:54
Oops. Highest ceiling, best attitude (albeit not in best light this season)
10.) 22 Jun 2025 15:27:27
Best attitude, what you been smoking, when he first broke into team, manager and then Bruno had to have words with him about attitude…that’s even on record. Then last season twice throwing toys out
Argentina management team also said attitude problems…
If that’s a good attitude then well I am not sure what standards your setting!
11.) 22 Jun 2025 21:30:22
If those 4 helmet, yes, he has the best attitude.
Jeez I wish you could read.
Anthony is mentally too weak for the EPL, those are facts.
Rashford basically refused to play the way the coach wanted to play.
Sancho, same thing and then took to Twitter.
Yes Garnacho loves a tweet, but of those FOUR, he has the best attitude.
Take when RA took over, him and rashford were dropped, one kicked himself up these arse and trained and was one of our more exciting players last year, the other went on loan and smashed the last nail into his boyhood club coffin.
He should have started the final, and it probably would have been a different outcome, but that is in the past. Maybe he isn't sold, maybe he becomes a squad player.
I still hope he does stay, because he gets me off my seat, and that is the UTD way.
12.) 22 Jun 2025 22:14:47
Mentally to weak doesn’t mean he has a bad attitude though.
Wearing an oppositions shirt with a players name who you’ve listed above, cracking attitude ??.
13.) 22 Jun 2025 22:33:13
Antony had/ has the best attitude of the 4 by a country mile.
Garnacho has displayed really bad traits time and again. As has rashford and sancho towards the club the manager and their teammates.
Anthony happy to take a pay cut to move on.
I do not want garnacho to stay more importantly RA doesn't.
Fine player mind you and he will do well which is good for us as we will get cuts off all his future fees as his development club.
14.) 23 Jun 2025 02:37:48
Garnacho is gone guys, pictured wearing a Vila shirt with Rashford on the back, no way back after that and confirms RA is right to ditch if he thinks that is the correct way to behave.
15.) 23 Jun 2025 03:03:33
If Anthony's attitude was so great, how come he can't overcome his mental fragility. just saying. It is mind over matter, and his attitude stinks, otherwise he would come back and perform like he has done at Betis, in the blink of an eye.
16.) 23 Jun 2025 05:57:01
You said Antony weak mentality FACT, Dimbo, how on earth is that a fact, but only in your head does not make it a fact, you don’t know him, you never met him, your not his Doctor, Manager or coach…therapist or anything, so it’s hardly a fact, then to say he should be able to come back and play like he is at Betis, That’s laughable and aren’t you the one who got audacity to tell others they know nothing about football!
Oh and yeah your rubbish about Garnacho having best attitude, that’s aged really well ain’t it……
Mind boggles with the inept.
17.) 23 Jun 2025 06:54:59
Helmet. anthony was given time away from the club to deal with his mental health. that is a fact.
Also, it has nothing to do with football, so not sure why you're circling back to that old comment about you knowing nothing about football.
Further to your lack of football knowledge, it seems you also skipped basic English language classes, your writing is atrocious, at best. I can forgive the odd spelling mistake from autocorrect etc, but half your trollop is unreadable.
Coming back to Anthony, if he was mentally strong, he would be able to come back to UTD and deliver the goods, but he can't.
What has aged well about Garnacho having a better attitude (? ), he has, of those 4. It comes down to Anthony vs Garnacho, the other two aren't even worth talking about.
Between Anthony and Garnacho, where is Anthony better, in any quality?
18.) 23 Jun 2025 20:09:00
Just caught up with this thread and am loving the fact we’re using words like dimbo and helmet ?
Takes me back to infant school.
19.) 23 Jun 2025 23:06:15
Wasn't it dimlo 2toms?
Helmet showing his creativity is void of any substance, yet again.
At least mine has some depth to it ?.
03 Jun 2025 12:54:54
Rumours of Solet on the shopping list too, big strong CB.
1.) 04 Jun 2025 09:40:50
I think this rumour source is aiming to create a market for him. He could be a Evans/ Lindelof replacement but I’d be surprised if we move for a CB this summer.
I’m expecting Maguire goes next season and we’ll move for someone who is physical but can play out like Scalvini, or one of Benfica’s Silva or Araujo.
2.) 04 Jun 2025 11:40:00
With Heaven, Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro, Mazrauoi, Martinez and Shaw all being potential back 3 players you would think the priority would be elsewhere. They kept Maguire because doing so would be cheaper in next year's accounts than buying an expensive replacement who may or may not succeed. There may also be academy other players who could be promoted to fill in any shortfall and/ or replace Maguire when he moves on at the end of next season. The priority has to be scoring more goals and the money will be spent with that in mind.
3.) 04 Jun 2025 15:05:49
100% we get a CB…. Martinez is not good enough always targeted now and too many injuries, Deligt plays with fridge on his back, far too slow, always injured Maz is decent back up, Shaw, waste of time as proved season after season McGuire another Deligt…. So that leaves Yoro and Heaven, so we need a full of pace commanding CB, to guide them and cover those two when they make a slip up
Front 3 commanding CB and GK and some steel and legs in midfield, so allows Bruno to play in there too…. to serve our front 3.
4.) 04 Jun 2025 19:03:52
Buying someone like Branthwaithe allows us to ship out at least one of Maguire, Shaw, Martinez, MdL or Mazraoui this window.
If we're dipping into the SP pool, Diomande or Ignacio would also accelerate the exit door for the aforementioned.
The process is about upgrading the entire squad, whilst not limiting the pathway for youth players (that being the ultimate approach in the future) .
13 Jan 2025 09:06:58
I really hope all this paper talk of Mainoo and Garnacho being up for sale is rubbish. I think these are the players we should be keeping as we rebuild a young side. Always thought Garnacho worked hard and applied himself, he must be working in training too having played in our last two games.
1.) 13 Jan 2025 10:27:12
The mainoo story is 100 percent rubbish. Not sure on garnacho though. He could make way.
2.) 13 Jan 2025 11:41:41
Mainoo contract is until 2027 with a 1 year extension available to 2028. It'll be sorted this year, no rush. Just media BS.
3.) 13 Jan 2025 15:38:47
Plus, I am sure Kobbie and his agent are looking for a decent pay raise in the interim, which will no doubt be forthcoming if we can get rid of Rashford and Casemiro. He's not going to be held to £20k a week until 2027. Given his potential it would take upwards of £75m for the club to sell him.
4.) 14 Jan 2025 16:04:30
KM is signed til 2030.
25 Aug 2024 19:51:29
Is Rabiot still an option for us, if Mctominay is sold and Amrabat gone back, even Urgarte signs we could do with another in the midfield. High wages l assume but a free agent with lots of experience etc.
{Ed002's Note - Rabiot remains an option for clubs byt wages are an issue.}
1.) 25 Aug 2024 20:47:38
Than you.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 08:18:35
Rabiot and Ugarte would transform our midfield, but both seems impossible with Casemiro still on the books, and to a lesser extent Eriksen.
3.) 26 Aug 2024 18:55:07
They would indeed wazza. Not sure we would get both in every week though for me mainoo rabiot and ugarte would be the ideal midfield 3.
But that means no place for Bruno.
I'd also very much like to see a midfield of casimero ugarte and mainoo. But again it leaves no place for Bruno.
With maz there I think Bruno could play from the right and come off the wing and get involved.
We need a solid midfield we don't have one and won't have one as long as Bruno is part of the 3.
Midfielders need to be where they should be when they need to be there. Too often defensively Bruno is not.
I think mainoo will develop more like Bellingham in terms of much more attacking and when he plays further up he will get a lot of goals possibly more than Bruno.
It's just my opinion that this false 9 experiment is to cover bruno's defensive frailties (position wise not effort wise) .
Dream midfield 3 for me would be
Ugarte rabiot mainoo but very unlikely. Cas ugarte mainoo would be a very solid midfield 3 imo.
4.) 26 Aug 2024 21:32:36
The team will get no better whilst casemiro and onana are in the team.
5.) 26 Aug 2024 22:11:51
With mctom gone or going why does ugarte seem impossible?
I'd much rather keep casimero and sell mctom.
Financially it makes a lot more sense unless we get 40m for casimero which seems unlikely.
Casimero offers a lot more to the team for the season ahead than mctom also.
I'm sure ericksen will be off before the window closes too. Along with hannibal and sancho if we can get a loan sorted at worst. Getting a decent loan fee and continuing to his wages should get us out in a neutral cost situation.
I highly doubt juve who signed 2 winners last week will advertorial an obligation to buy, perhaps an option to buy is best we can hope for. He is entering his 4th season with us so his book value will have decreased substantially by the end of the season like casimero so a sale will be a lot easier next summer and a lot less of an impact on the books.
6.) 27 Aug 2024 08:34:14
if we can get sancho out, mc done and ugarte in, its a great window Imo. Anything else is cherry on top. if eriksen goes i can see us adding a midfielder late in the window. We need cover/ rest for mainoo ideally.
13 Aug 2024 21:56:36
Mended in UK to try and get the Urgarte deal over the line.
1.) 14 Aug 2024 06:19:11
Last night I read that there is a chance of Sancho-Ugarte swap, but United rates Sancho as a more expensive player. Seems funny to me! Perhaps just a negotiating tactic.

Hopefully it is done now, but love to know after all these "Negotiations ", if we ended paying the full. pasjing price anyway! Hopefully we can move on now with other business.
1.) 14 Jul 2025 22:33:19
Where are you hearing it’s done?
11 Jul 2025 14:44:13
God we miss Ed002, his insights were the best. Hope he's looking down laughing at all of us panicking about our club.
1.) 11 Jul 2025 14:50:02
Not everybody is panicking. Far from it only the silly folk.
2.) 11 Jul 2025 15:39:13
Absolutely Ken. Too many people are panicking here and just getting far too negative. We have signed one excellent player, look like we'll sign another and, if we sign one other, along with shipping out a few we'll be in good shape. It's amazing to read about jealousy over Spurs spending 120M on two players when it is abundantly clear that many of those same posters would be lambasting the club for overspending had we spent that amount on those same players.
3.) 11 Jul 2025 15:55:07
DonRed forget who Spurs signed. City? Arsenal? Liverpool? Have they improved? We finished 15th. With Cunha signing have me moved from 15th to the top half?
4.) 11 Jul 2025 15:55:47
Two not that good players either, strange how every transfer that happens good or bad and they are saying we should have had him or them in this case, sorry but on there day Rashford and Garnacho are in front of these two, and I don’t even like Rashford or Garnacho, but I would rather have them two for under 100 million then these two, or either one rather than Erlanga, who talk is 55m
It’s laughable.
But of course Rashford and Garnacho are now seen as United villains, so everyone is better…folk can be a bit biased with the red tints.
5.) 11 Jul 2025 16:38:04
UA, we won’t be challenging any of those 3 you mentioned plus add Chelsea to that, so don’t really matter what they done really,
6.) 11 Jul 2025 16:47:25
German. Players who actually want to play for the club will always be better than those who don’t regardless of ability or potential.
IF Rashford’s head was in the right place and his heart was still in it and IF Garnacho wasn’t constantly leaking information and hadn’t gotten caught up in his own hype then yes, we wouldn’t need to sign Cunha and Mbuemo. But we are where we are.
7.) 11 Jul 2025 17:23:04
Thats the spirit German. Already accepted defeat before the ball is kicked. Keep it up. No wonder we are where we are.
8.) 11 Jul 2025 17:39:30
Ua. How much would you like to bet that Liverpool won't improve year on year on their epl results.
9.) 11 Jul 2025 18:27:09
It's about changing the culture of both the team and club so that incremental positive steps are taken. No serious Utd fan expects us to make a challenge this year for the league title.
10.) 11 Jul 2025 19:40:53
UA you have to accept reality, not live in cuckoo land.
11.) 11 Jul 2025 21:20:21
Salford to be honest I'm hoping for considerable improvement.
Im expecting to see players we had last season show a lot of improvement.
12.) 11 Jul 2025 21:24:03
That’s it tumble us silly folk who have just witnessed the season we just have with this squad to not be slightly worried we’ve only signed 1 player with the first game 5 weeks away
How silly of us.
13.) 11 Jul 2025 22:10:26
Read we signed another youngster. That’s two and both will propel us into the top 4. Also the young lad Leon and Hojlund will be a player reborn.
And wake up.
14.) 11 Jul 2025 22:16:25
Yes it is silly. You appear to have very little understanding of the situation and the constraints. Things will happen perhaps not as quickly as everybody wants but they're are reasons for that.
You want perfect execution when we are not in a positive to deliver that at the moment.
We all want the same thing but stamping your feet calling out incompetence when you seem to have no understanding of the situation and difficulties is i think silly.
The players that we need to leave are holding firm for their 1st options. So are their suiters so there is no new management incompetence there.
Decent sell on money can now be banked so hopefully that's enough to move on mbeumo maybe a deal for another outs needs to be assured also.
If we only secure loan deals then it will have an impact on who we can buy. Those players and new clubs are the ones holding out.
Sign too many and don't get decent sales then we are looking at psr failure.
Im not sure what you think can be done differently right now.
15.) 11 Jul 2025 23:14:37
I think it's silly that people think 3 players will make us a top 10 team given how terrible we were last year.
16.) 11 Jul 2025 23:51:53
I love to think last year was an aberration and that these players will improve, however I just can’t trust them and have years of evidence to back that up. Sorry but if onana is in goal and hojlund upfront then we will struggle no matter how the rest do.
17.) 12 Jul 2025 00:31:07
I don't think that's silly at all 30 to 40 more goals last season would put us in top 10 last season and further easily so without looking at the rest of the team at all these goals would put us there. I would also expect after a full pre season and a dozen games that we will see the team begining to gel and play good attacking fotball.
18.) 12 Jul 2025 05:11:38
Ken where are the 30-40 goals coming from, or are you now being silly and thinking that just because that’s the amount of goals that Cunha and Mbeumo got for there respective clubs, that the exact amount will translate over to United…. Now who is the one being silly. Surely you know football does not work like that.
19.) 12 Jul 2025 11:39:48
Cunha mbeuno and a cf 3 played players should bring 12 goals each German 30/ 40 goals. If those 3 didn't bring that i'd be disappointed. Try read properly before jumping up and down like a new baby puppy eog.
20.) 12 Jul 2025 15:48:30
German, you also need to consider the number of assists players like Cunha, Mbeumo and possibly Watkins got last season. That's 21 goals they directly helped their team score on top of the 51 goals they also scored.
We could literally be lining up with a front three next season that contributed 72 goals and assists last season between them.
I think that would be a fairly safe bet to assume they will get potentially 30-40 between them this season for us. They'd manage that even if each of them had a 25% drop off in output.
We also have players like Amad who hopefully can be fit all season and should link up well with the new additions and get more goals and assists than he did this season. Hopefully Zirkzee also kicks on and increases his output.
While young Chido Obi might also start to get more game time and score a few goals himself.
If we can sign Mbeumo and Watkins this summer then I'd be fairly sure we'll be one of the most dangerous attacking teams in the league.
21.) 12 Jul 2025 16:52:29
German do you think a new cf mbeumo if they come and cunha won't contribute 35 goals between them? 35 extra goals last season would have in all probability got us another 10 or 15 points.
Its just a guesstimating but I think conservative.
22.) 12 Jul 2025 18:48:41
lol…. but of Cunha, Mbeumo and Watkins we have only actually got Cunha, so yes your maths is total pie in the sky, plus I am willing to bet that even if the other 2 did even arrive they all won’t score approx 12-15 goals each, we don’t create that amount of chances, the only creative midfielder we have is Bruno, Dalot and Dorgu can’t cross a ball, or are you saying those front 3 of which we only actually have one on our books are going to assist each other too, when we get the ball forward so slowly it’s unbelievable, plus the clown let's them in like no tomorrow!
I love your optimism but that’s exactly what it is, when we only have 1 of the 3 players you mention!
23.) 12 Jul 2025 19:35:44
Im not a big fan of the idea of signing Watkins.
He is a good player and would be a good stop gap for a couple of seasons. If we could pick him up for 20m i'd say it would be good business.
If he is the best option in the managers view then so be it. I highly doubt we will pay anything close to 60m for him.
24.) 13 Jul 2025 06:24:35
What’s all this can’t sign players for 2-3 years as stop gaps. in football 2-3 years is considerable amount of time, besides if you sign a young potential superstar in 2-3 years after he made his name he is off anyway to Real or Barcelona or maybe even PSG now! That’s a bit of a non argument and outdated by years argument really……
But of course all us fools no nothing, do they!
09 Jul 2025 17:08:45
Talk now, Douglas Luis could be available on loan with obligation to buy. There are so many stories going around now it's hard to believe anything, even Mbeumo story is on/ off if Spurs sign Wissa. Jesus it reminds me of de Jong saga, dragged on all summer with no one signed in the end. Think we need another 10 hopefully Mbeumo, but it dragging on and if reports that Brenford are changing terms are true we should move on, if they're not, just pay the original price and get it done. Then for me a strong CDM, as both new signings can bring goals and maybe link with Zirkzee or Hojlund or even Bruno in the false 9 which should increase our scoring record. Midfield needs a player in the CDM role, two strong fit workers, providing for the front 3. If cash is still there get a new keeper and CF in that order. We can only hope.
1.) 09 Jul 2025 18:32:15
Ed Woodward is flying back from Australia as we speak. Hopefully we’ll have Cesc signed before the weekend.
2.) 09 Jul 2025 19:24:30
Haha Danny, that gives me flashbacks.
Redcon, we can’t go into another season with Zirkzee and Hojlund as our strikers. I get that Cunha will be a threat and hopefully chip in with his share. Likewise Mbuemo if he does arrive, but we desperately need a striker. Teams will be going into games with a psychological edge just knowing we’ve got a striker in Hojlund who’s confidence is shot to bits.
3.) 09 Jul 2025 20:48:54
Redcon, I agree, Zirkzee to be flanked by Cunha and Mbeumo will yield sufficient results for our target of top half. Give Rasmus a break or sell. Obi breakthrough season. We are not fighting for anything other than rise up the ladder, if a cup run eventuates great, but one of those cups doesn't start until Jan for us.
I feel we should have sold Bruno and gone a for a midfielder, but with Bruno staying, I'm not sure they will now. We have sufficient in the youth ranks to be pushing this area, this might be the year we allow them to kick on (fletcher, Moorhouse, Kone, Collyer etc)
GK is difficult, Vitek should be coming through to fill the number 2 spot and then maybe challenge Onana if he can't be sold. If Onana is sold then it is a new GK, and that would possibly suit a move for Martinez as he won't block the likes of Vitek.
CB, contrary to what others have stated about my opinions here, I believe we have yoro and Heaven as nailed on starters if fit, with MDL leading the current pack to play with them. The rest, in my opinion are not worth keeping (licha, Shaw, Maguire, Mazraoui - did I miss anyone? ) for the record, I also think MDL is not good enough, but there are 4 ahead of him that need replacing. Fredrickson and Kukonki will potentially break through, and definitely if a few of those aforementioned can be shifted on. Maybe we add another version of Heaven if some are moved.
Wingbacks, I think we have done our business there with Leon. On the right, Kamason is coming through but maybe a year too early for him to dislodge Dalot (who was actually quite reliable last year, although how long can you keep polishing turds before they disintegrate? )
In summary. a summer of Martinez, Cunha, Mbeumo and Leon elevates us to the top half of the table, and who knows, maybe higher.
We have to remember.
We aren't elite anymore and are not challenging for the title, we also are badly run and have little to no money to invest.
4.) 09 Jul 2025 20:54:48
I can see the Mbuemo deal collapsing. United will drag their feet and Brentford or the player will move on. It shouldn’t take this long to get a deal done. Other clubs manage to get it done far quicker.
Not seen any backup players mentioned anywhere if Mbuemo doesn’t join.
5.) 09 Jul 2025 22:41:21
If MBueno says he has had enough and from that we have let him down, goes to Spurs, heads must roll. No spin saying we were never interested would be believable.
6.) 10 Jul 2025 08:36:17
Zirkzee next season will be a survicable striker/ 10 when needed. I do not think he will be our main one but will work well with Cunha/ Mbeumo (assuming he comes in) . He will come short allowing those to push on past him linking up.
What we also need is a defence stretching striker who pushes them back leaving room for the 10's to move into. If we can get this I think we have a good double team to flex in games and styles depending on who we are playing.
Would then allow for Hojlund to either build and play as 3rd choice. give him the time he really needed when he came in. or sell/ loan. Chido then could get some games or maybe needs a loan.
I think we will go with Onana for this season and focus on other areas, again CB unless the main one we want is available I think we will stick with what we have and less injuries we should get through the season - Yoro - De Ligt - Heaven would be my start with Mazouri - Maguire - Martinez as rotation.
7.) 10 Jul 2025 16:31:15
Zirkee or Rasmus, if we have to start the season with either of these 2 playing number 9 we will be in same boat as last few seasons, I can’t believe anyone thinks either is good enough to play number 9 in the EPL…. that’s not being disrespectful to those two, but they just don’t possess what’s needed to play striker in EPL
Rasmus not great at anything, Zirkee, don’t possess no pace, little mobility and not a finisher…. Got good touch and that’s about it…. If we go into season with either in the team we be lucky to break into top 10, even with a decent striker top 6 would be good result.
8.) 10 Jul 2025 19:04:29
I don't think anyone is suggesting Zirkzee is 'leading the line' GSC. As you know, I've said many times he is more there to feed the 10's.
07 Jul 2025 19:55:16
Brentford not budging on the price apparently time walk away. Too much time spent on this deal already, other clubs have got their business done quickly. We are slow and public with everything as usual, no change there even with a new team in place. Still time
To redeem themselves but lm sure RA is not happy, heading away on preseason.

Walk away and sign who after weeks of negotiations and about £5m apart in valuation with the US tour next week? Surely they should have moved on weeks ago, walking away now proves nothing more than utter incompetence.
2.) 07 Jul 2025 20:42:10
Walk away? You would do that to a player who has apparently said he only wants United, to the point where he has turned down other clubs? What message would that send to others we are trying to buy? Don’t trust United. Depends how close the offer is to what Brentford want, but get the deal done.
3.) 07 Jul 2025 22:28:45
Red man, the message it sends is we are now serious when it comes to not paying over the odds for players.
We've complained for years that we pay stupid prices for players and then we try to do something about it and complain that we're not getting the deal done.

It’s not when paying over the odds
Elenga has just gone for 55 million
Pedro 60
62 (reported) fee they want is a fair price for the player considering what we are paying for.

Bench Warmer are you serious they don’t want £100m they want around the same guaranteed fee that we paid for Cunha, a player of a similar age who arguably had a better season. Newcastle has just paid £55m for Elanga he scored 6 league goals last season Mbeumo got 20.
Chelsea have just paid £60m for Pedro, he scored 10 league goals, they paid nearly £50m for Gittens he scored 8.
I’m curious just what is our negotiating position? If we walk away who do sign for £60-65m with the same output, and he’s prem proven which every one goes on about! Mbeumo has scored 38 league goals in the past three seasons he is not overpriced. Messing about has actually made our job harder as lesser players are being sold for similar fees.
Do you actually believe walking away from a deal that we’ve been negotiating for nearly 5 weeks for a legitimately priced player with no pivot option makes us look stronger. It’s would make us look even more incompetent in my opinion.
I can understand them trying to negotiate a better deal but pre season has started we all know Brentford will not lower their price we’re desperate for goals so stop messing around and get the deal done now and let Amorim work on trying to build a new attacking line up.

There is clearly more holding up the deal than a few million! So just let it play out one way or other, your all talking as if you know it’s just a matter of a few million, it maybe something else entirely and clearly is…
The club is working hard on ins and outs, just wait and see, we know and they know we need another 5/ 6 players in and same out…. it will happen it will be GK, if anyone foolish enough to take the clown, but it will certainly be CB and a midfielder and strikers (2)
7.) 08 Jul 2025 06:27:47
If you want to talk about being serious Bench Warmer, then if we take two months to reach the price Brentford want, so we pay what they want anyway, we would have wasted two months, when we could have had him in place, is that serious?
8.) 08 Jul 2025 11:58:02
We are probably trying to pay in 10 year installments with ridiculous add on guarantees
The club who have said in many interviews publicly THEY HAVE A PLAN… are letting the manager down
1 player difference from the end of the season to the start of pre season.
Nothing looking close on the outs side of things and still no 3rd bid.
We must be the only club that goes through the process of having multiple bids turnt down.
Shambles.
5 weeks Sunday till the first game of the season. let that sink in. and we are worse off squad wise then when we finished.

Bolger…how do you know if what they are doing currently is their plan! You don’t, your only assuming that the plan they had is in some alignment of what plan you think they have….
It could all be going to their plan 100% just wait and see.
10.) 08 Jul 2025 15:21:02
They haven’t got a scooby do German… that’s clear to see.
11.) 08 Jul 2025 18:19:11
Need to know Facts before can make that assumption.
06 Jul 2025 20:11:52
I'd rather stick with youth or play Bruno in a false 9 and buy a strong CDM.
1.) 06 Jul 2025 20:21:55
More than happy with a Bruno, Cunha, Mbuemo fluid front three if it means Rios, Estupinan and a proper keeper coming in.
2.) 06 Jul 2025 20:54:58
A top striker wins you matches when you need it most. Arsenal have learnt to their cost that not having a top striker is the difference between winning titles and cups or coming second.

Than you.

He's still very young, needs an injury free season to back the levels he showd in his his season. I'm sure he will be a big player next season still for us.
07 May 2025 20:31:03
Remember that goal, was he only 17 at the time? Yip Remember when it left his foot is was always going in.
22 Feb 2025 19:50:12
Saying it for years he is useless, if he wasn't English he would be critised way more. Biggest was of 80+ million ever.
19 Jan 2025 18:30:38
The second was his fault too.
04 Aug 2024 16:37:23
Maybe Zirkee playing off Hojlund up top.
