Sancho wants 10m to walk. When has he run? It got smacked me that a lad with great talent is not aiming for higher and more in life.
I feel sorry for his family and kids because school and social life means he is the laughing stock for centuries. Wait till his children start asking questions.
1.) 20 Aug 2025 19:11:13
We pay him £13m a year, why would we pay him £10m to walk away.
Keep him on the books and make him do promotional work around the world hosting fan forums for 12 months, let’s see how long he lasts.
2.) 20 Aug 2025 20:20:26
Including the amortization cost of the last 10 months of his contract of about £12m he's going to cost us 80% of his £13m salary. So around £22m in total. You would think most clubs are going to steer clear of a players who has been rejected by United and Chelsea and who, rather than grasp an offer to play football somewhere, would prefer to sit on his arse for the next 10 months. Itv would be worth it for United to sell him for £20m and cover 1/ 2 the remaining salary commitment, but a player who was highly touted, was once considered to be of international quality, can't even command a £20m transfer.
3.) 21 Aug 2025 06:45:08
All this about Sancho, are we talking the same player that Shappy said was so good and along with Onana was the missing part of the ETH master plan of a jog saw with his intricate play, speed and precision…. was going to take us to the moon…. how did that go!
Was always a waste of time even at Dortmund and everywhere he been, the red flags were there, still we were stupid enough to give him a contract so all of our own making and he milking that.
No principles or honesty in football.
4.) 21 Aug 2025 10:18:27
That stalker is back Shappy, he knows what you said well before he had an account, creepy at best.
5.) 21 Aug 2025 13:59:14
If he’ll walk for 10m I suspect he has somewhere to walk to. Hopefully they will offer him 4m see what happens.
6.) 21 Aug 2025 15:11:20
GDS, I have been able to read for far too many years! Is that difficult for you to grasp…. Clearly is! So carry on.
7.) 21 Aug 2025 18:03:14
Eth didn't sign sancho. He inherited him. i'm no eth fan but we can't blame him on sancho.
8.) 21 Aug 2025 20:03:29
Sancho appeared a good signing on paper, shame his talent never made it off the page.
10 Aug 2025 15:51:11
Take with a pinch of salt but it's on X that Rasmus is leaving on loan. He refused but has been told to go as playing time will be vastly limited
Good news if true.
1.) 10 Aug 2025 18:33:47
Makes sense to loan him out for a loan fee + his wages covered. No one is going to pay the amortized value of his transfer cost. This way we won't have to book a capital loss.
23 Jun 2025 22:20:47
Rumours that United have accepted a bid for Sanch from Napoli?
Scott MacT is on £90k per week and V Osihmen gets £162k per week so I doubt sancho will accept the wages Napoli offer.
1.) 23 Jun 2025 23:14:30
Osimhen £162k pw, I think not, it's well documented he is on circa £400,000k pw at present, the figure he is also demanding from us!
Seemingly he has stated he is not looking for a pay rise from us.
Suspect it will all prove irrelevant as AL Hilal have come back for him with an increased offer of £34,000,000 per annum, that's £653,000pw. Hard to turn away from that kind of dough.
2.) 23 Jun 2025 23:45:41
If he wants the money more than playing for us let Osimhen go simple.
3.) 24 Jun 2025 00:16:40
Quite so Salford, can't see us giving him £400k pw anyway, so would mean him taking a pay cut, don't see that happening.
Only player I know who took a pay CUT to come to us is M De Ligt. (Goes up when we get ECL qualification) However, show's a terrific attitude and desire to join us. He was of course at Bayern, so was already at massive club, he just wanted to play regularly. Well done him!
4.) 24 Jun 2025 05:19:07
Sadly, it’s difficult to see him leaving on a permanent deal. And why would he? If he stays, he continues to earn a ridiculous wage for one more season and then gets a nice £10m+ signing on fee next summer after leaving on a free. We’ll almost certainly allow him to leave on loan to recoup some of his wages, so it’s a win-win for him.
Personally, I’d like to see us take the L and force him to play with the reserves this season. Dock his wages every time he’s late and then sack him after it’s happened enough times. Allowing him to call the shots makes the club’s leadership look like clowns.
5.) 24 Jun 2025 05:56:53
Redseven, nothing to do with us looking like clowns, there is such a thing as employment law/ contracts/ rights basically Sancho is in driving seat, it just comes down to pride and if he wants to be playing, not much else!
Deligt playing regularly, you mean when he is not injured, plus we allowed him to bring the fridge he carries around on his back with him!
6.) 24 Jun 2025 10:27:12
De Ligt played 29 out of 38 league games last season, I think we get that you don’t like or rate him Maze but you don’t need to say it constantly or make out his injuries are far worse than they are.
7.) 24 Jun 2025 12:59:53
I want our trophy back.
Osimhen is currently earning just over £160,000 per week. He is reported to be looking for significantly more money. This is why he is looking for a transfer, and why he hasn’t found a buyer.
My suspicion is that he would prefer to stay in Europe, and his agent is trying to see if anyone will double his wages here. If not, he’ll be off to Saudi.
Shame because he’s a good player, but his wage demands would undermine the club’s attempt to change its broken wage structure.
8.) 24 Jun 2025 13:25:02
Osimhen is pie in the sky. A shame, I'd love to see him in the Prem, he's a really exciting player. But unless the likes of Chelsea are prepared to give him what he wants (I doubt it, given just like us they've taken steps to sort out their wage structure), he'll be off to Saudi where they'll pay him handsomely.
9.) 24 Jun 2025 17:01:34
I read the Napoli offer was two players in part-ex. Other than Osimhen, who do they have that fits the system?
10.) 25 Jun 2025 20:57:20
Osimhen is apparently on 10m euros a year and is willing to join us for no pay rise .
22 Aug 2024 18:25:54
Man United agree deal to sign 2006 born Mali international talent Sékou Koné from Guidars FC,
1.) 22 Aug 2024 18:46:46
anyone want to do a write up on his strengths and pretend they know who he is lol.
2.) 22 Aug 2024 19:49:18
let me check YouTube, Ahmad!
3.) 22 Aug 2024 21:08:44
He's been good at the under 17 world cup apparently.
4.) 22 Aug 2024 21:33:14
It seems that Christopher Vivell, new director of recruitment, has a hand in this. He previously had roles at RB Leipzig and Salzburg, apparently they have a connection with Guidars.
Time will tell if this works or not, seemingly he is a defensive midfielder.
Will be a big cultural change for the lad, wish him good luck and hope he makes it.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 06:28:42
Essay incoming!
6.) 23 Aug 2024 08:55:39
Wazza ???.
7.) 23 Aug 2024 11:04:06
I watched some of the U17 world cup but mostly Argentina and France. The Argentinian guy city signed is a really good player and gets your attention. I did not watch any of the Mali games.
8.) 23 Aug 2024 13:20:02
Shappy - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. But it was also the summer transfer window that we welcomed Sékou Koné to the club. I remember watching him running in Mali in the care free days of his youth … *3,000 words later* - he probably should be ready for a loan next summer.
9.) 23 Aug 2024 13:52:09
?? very good Danny.
It might rain but it might not rain if the sun comes out. But it might only be out for a short period if it goes back in again it might rain.
However if the wind gets up it could be windy so hang your washing out but look out for the rain in case the sun doesn't come out.
17 Jul 2024 17:48:26
Yoro deal done
Med 1 passed final result due but all sealef on a 5 hr deal acc to FR
Welcome yoro.
1.) 17 Jul 2024 17:57:31
Shortest deal in history!
2.) 17 Jul 2024 18:59:51
Little bit shocked, must be a good sign that we are beginning to move forward as a club instead of the regression we have all witnessed.
3.) 17 Jul 2024 19:43:23
5 hoursss bruhhhh the league doesn't start till August!
4.) 18 Jul 2024 00:28:15
100% going to have a Real Madrid clause.
5.) 18 Jul 2024 00:38:36
Ita a typo lol 5yr deal.

If 28 is seen as old why don't we go for 24 yr old Andre from Wolves? I think he can do the CDM perfectly and won't cost a lot. The only weakness he has is height for defending set pieces etc., but calm on the ball and always willing to take it out from the back. That leaves money for another position we need.
1.) 20 Mar 2026 09:09:33
Couldn't be bothered to join the previous thread?
19 Mar 2026 19:08:44
Rumours that we are after Bruno G for quote 70m.
Would he be your 1st choice or would Tonali be a better grab? We need DM and a quality one at that with consideration that we may sign 3 or 4 players max.
1.) 19 Mar 2026 19:43:40
Bruno G is a very good player, but too old at 28, isn't he? We bought Casemiro older. We need to be looking at a younger player.
2.) 19 Mar 2026 20:30:39
Lol... 28 too old. ?
3.) 19 Mar 2026 21:17:00
Bruno G and Tonali are good players, but Newcastle have no control in their games. I don't think we win a league with either tbh. At that money there are better players at better age profiles.
4.) 19 Mar 2026 21:30:31
Tonali would be a phenomenal buy. Bruno is a great player, but he is 29 in November. I think that is too old for the price we would have to pay to get him.
5.) 19 Mar 2026 22:18:53
Either would be great buys, and would considerably lift the quality of what we have next season currently.
6.) 20 Mar 2026 05:19:53
Bruno G would be the better choice, imo... I'm never, ever going with this. 28 is rubbish, it's too old. That's just absolutely ridiculous talk. Maybe ok if you're more concerned about sell on value and happy being a mid-table club, so you can buy players with potential, and if it goes well sell them for a profit.
If that's what you want United to become, then good for you. I'm still hoping we build a squad to challenge, to win things, not a club that just acts as a feeder club for the big boys... But best in class is what big clubs do, not just keep buying potential.
7.) 20 Mar 2026 07:20:29
Maze, it isn't a question of a sell on value, it's much more about building a team around a player who hasn't much time before the risk of his legs going becomes an issue that has to be replaced, again, in short order. That's my issue with a player's age.
8.) 20 Mar 2026 08:05:37
I mean, because Casemiro is leaving, we need someone who can come in and hit the ground running. We cant afford to have someone take 6 months to settle and get going, by that time we could be knocked out of the Champions League (assuming we get in).
So for the primary midfield signing, I dont think age, especially 28/29, is an issue.
Then, the backups for that signing and mainoo, then yes, more room for a younger signing with potential and time to settle in.
03 Mar 2026 23:06:13
oh boy that's a great win for wolves. Andre I would take in a heartbeat to replace cas
They are playing with all heart and passion now and fair play to them too.
1.) 04 Mar 2026 06:50:28
Look at their run-in. The great escape is upon us!
2.) 04 Mar 2026 07:58:48
Might not be the great escape, but they won't finish bottom. I think that's Burnley's spot.
3.) 04 Mar 2026 09:11:47
Fair play to Wolves, back-to-back Premier League wins are a fantastic achievement, and something that is not easy to do at this level, as we have found out.
4.) 04 Mar 2026 19:03:01
I have wagered they beat the drop, Everton make top 6, and Spurs go down. Unable to get in a multi though. ?
13 Feb 2026 12:54:29
I was down the local pub recently chatting with a few Middlesbrough fans who had come over for a pint, and naturally the conversation turned to Michael Carrick — which feels even more relevant now that he’s back at Manchester United as head coach until the end of the season.
What stood out was how respectful they were about him. Every one of them said Carrick is a top professional and a genuinely good football man. Players like him, trust him, and buy into what he wants to do. But they also shared a concern that might now become the big talking point at United — adaptability.
Their view was that when Carrick’s system works, it works really well. His teams can look organised, calm in possession, and tactically clear. The problem comes when games drift away. They felt he can be slow to change things, sometimes sticking with Plan A a little too long and hesitating with substitutions when momentum shifts.
Now that he’s in charge at United, that learning curve becomes much steeper. Managing Middlesbrough is pressure — managing United is scrutiny every three days. Having a philosophy is important, but at the top level you also need Plan B and sometimes Plan C when matches turn chaotic.
What makes this appointment interesting is that Carrick understands the club better than most. He knows the expectations, the dressing room, and what supporters want to see. The question isn’t whether he understands football — nobody doubts that — it’s whether he can evolve quickly enough in-game to handle elite-level pressure.
These next few months almost feel like an audition. If he shows flexibility and growth, he gives the club a real decision to make in the summer. If not, he may still be remembered as the steady hand who helped reset things and rolled back the years of proper MUFC Football
GGMU.
1.) 13 Feb 2026 17:50:14
Good post. Nice to hear their perspective. I don't care who they select really. I have a couple of names i'd rather it not be but there is no stand out candidate for me at the moment.
I like the kind of crazy the likes of simione or di zerbi would bring but they have negatives also.
Im up for any suggestion really.
{Ed025's Note - Sean Dyche?..
2.) 13 Feb 2026 18:31:25
He is one of the couple of names ed025 I know your still different from some PTSD from his time start Everton but steady on.
Im not sure Jim would go for a ginge anyway?.
{Ed025's Note - i think those two would just about deserve each other Ken.. :)
3.) 13 Feb 2026 19:30:44
Its a bit unusual for me to be so indifferent at this stage. I think when it comes down to a few definite candidates ill choose who would be my preference from that bunch.
4.) 14 Feb 2026 08:44:45
I'm indifferent because this has happened so many times before. Whoever it is will be gone in 18 months whether we think they're the right choice or not.
5.) 14 Feb 2026 08:50:52
Good posts. I guess Carrick didn’t have Steve Holland supporting him at Boro.
Much of Fergie’s success was driven by his No2 he had in place at different parts of our evolution.
6.) 14 Feb 2026 10:30:28
We saw how slow to change to a different plan he was vs West Ham. We were critical of Amorim for being so rigid - and whilst I don’t think Carrick is as rigid I think he definitely needs to make in game play changes sooner when it’s clear vs low block teams our plan A or B isn’t working.
7.) 14 Feb 2026 11:55:30
It’s gone quiet but I can’t help but have nightmares about someone else coming in now tuchel is unavailable. The dreaded…. Southgate. I hope not.
25 Jan 2026 05:54:29
I think that Wolves nr7 Andre i think his name is if correct. I watched him against city and he was doing everything in his abilities to help out the defence nicking the ball back playing out to gomez etc
I think he would be a a great buy if Anderson is not attainable.
1.) 25 Jan 2026 12:19:47
Shappy has written an article entitled, Manchester United Should Target Relagation Team's Players
04 Aug 2025 05:54:28
Spot on Spenno folk expect young lads to be at RVP level upon arriving. Let's see how he does this season.
15 Jul 2025 13:13:02
Ed002 was a CFC supporter also and a big CFC fan and reporter/ on the know also died on November.
Yes I miss 002 knowledge, His arrogance and the sharkopods
But I don't miss the numerous requests for player detail profile.
{Ed025's Note - he was not really a big fan of Chelsea RDF or of football in general, he did have connections at the club though and knew a lot of people in the higher echelons of the game mate, a big loss to the site..
02 Jul 2025 23:04:31
Yes 077 that's the one good stats but he's a Toon lad now.
{Ed077's Note - another overhyped English Goalie.
02 Jul 2025 18:26:12
Rashford and Garnacho to villa singing
Oh brother, we'll go deeper than the ink
Beneath the skin of our tattoos
Though we don't share the same blood
You're my brother and I love you that's the truth.
We're hoping for better lives
only Emre knows
He said will bring us back with all our pictures and our clothes
Five goals twenty assists doing all we can to please
Just give me back my car keys
If I was dying on my knees, I've got a brother from another mother
Then the boos for lazy attitude start.
{Ed077's Note - KODALINE ♥️♥️♥️
02 Jul 2025 18:01:58
Amad/ Hojlund
Hit/ miss signing from Atalanta! It's hard to be optimistic so if we do sign hopefully a hit
I would of preferred to take that young lad that's of to Newcastle.
{Ed077's Note - Trafford you mean?
19 Feb 2026 23:22:56
I think Andre is the player we need badly even Ed001 said he would be the better of the 2 Wolves players and I totally agree. He always makes himself available for the defence to play out, and he keeps it simple. Better than Gones in my op.
05 Jan 2026 13:20:26
As a keane fan boy I know keane is no yes man and as long as SAF heart beats RK won't get a look in.
It would tarnish SAF if RK walked in and turned us from relegation fodder to challenging for the title.
But yeah keane and Ole would be immense and i'd have no doubt many fans wouldn't say no either.
24 Oct 2025 13:32:16
I must of forgot to enter or abslolute rubbish at it lol
Well done ato the winners of GW7.
10 Sep 2025 20:21:14
My money is on a 2-1 win. City will be out the blocks fast and go in front early and we will gradually get back in the game before a late winner.
Tha fully it's a short drive so the savings on Fuel money should buy some Stamina enriched foods for the team.
08 Sep 2025 13:32:00
I'm sorry but I agree 100% with Gnev2.
I have watched the games lime everyone else and always believed he was fixing games. My family still argue to this day that one of the goals he could of saved by lifting his right peg 6 inches of the ground. If Stephen Lee can ve found match fixing for keeping 3 balls out of the pocket surely Onana was allegedly match fixing for his horrible attempt to look like he was doing his best.
