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!

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.

Silva to RM means City will he flat out for Abderson now.
1.) 12 Jun 2026 07:43:57
Nothing new. Silva left at the end of the season. Barcelona was the expected move. Nice move by Madrid. He might be joined by Rhodri and Haaland soon enough.
2.) 12 Jun 2026 09:48:38
Madrid making signings for the now. Perez wants a trophy.
3.) 12 Jun 2026 14:12:36
More of a worry, he might be joined by Bruno!
4.) 12 Jun 2026 15:11:47
£120m guaranteed is mental for a midfielder, it's up there with £130m for Alvarez.
5.) 12 Jun 2026 15:30:59
I would take Alvarez, be nice to have a proper striker.
6.) 13 Jun 2026 16:03:15
Yeah, Alvarez is a top striker imo. Madrid don't look like they want to sell. They probably will, but it looks like it's going to be for the sort of fee that we can't pay.
Hopefully we get someone in to challenge Sesko.
Lewy would be my choice, but that's a pipe dream. Mad finances, and is he up to the EPL challenge at this stage of his career?
12 Jun 2026 00:17:20
Oh and here I was praying for lightning to strike twice. I mean, what could we gain breaking the bank for a young Forest CM everyone wants.
11 Jun 2026 03:25:26
The sexual tension between Tumbleweed and Monkey_Balls is becoming impossible to ignore; neither of you ever agree with the other. Just buy each other a pint and save the rest of us the weekly episode. ?
1.) 11 Jun 2026 08:06:57
Monkey is to Ken what Maze was to Shappy. Interesting Jsu hasn't posted for a while.
2.) 11 Jun 2026 08:48:48
Nah, Monkey has been around a while, Gds.
3.) 11 Jun 2026 10:08:39
Well, Monkey is definitely agitating more lately. Needs to cool the jets.
4.) 11 Jun 2026 13:30:21
I don't think he is tbf, Don.
He just took exception to me putting a quote I read from Eriksen and his doctor saying he is 'fine' and that I hope our players don't get injured in the World Cup.
Apparently he has lost respect for me. ?
I'm happy enough to say he is 'fine' and I'm sure at his age he will see me down despite his condition, which is not at all uncommon.
I'm not holding any vigils or lighting candles for him just yet.
He has never been declared dead despite Mb's insistence that he has died twice. It's bizarre.
5.) 11 Jun 2026 13:49:37
But doesn't the whole, "I've lost respect for you," thing heighten the sexual tension?
6.) 11 Jun 2026 14:00:35
The block function works wonders in filtering out the usual aggregators who like to throw a grenade into the room and walk out again. :D
7.) 11 Jun 2026 14:19:12
Well I'm certainly sexually tense.
8.) 11 Jun 2026 14:40:15
Danny. ???
9.) 11 Jun 2026 15:12:29
Not sure Danny. You know what's is like when your break up from someone. i'm hoping in time we can be civil again i don't want things to be awkward if we bump into each other socially, i'd like to think we could but when the respect is gone its hard to win back.
Still that's are another 7 billion fish in the sea he will find the one. They will probably be mute deaf and blind but I still have hope he can find his one. ?
@AJH at your age that's not sexual tension its probably just wind?
10.) 11 Jun 2026 17:15:10
It could be the monkey balls I had for lunch.
11.) 11 Jun 2026 18:46:42
Oh, he's back. No idea what he's saying though, the block function works wonders.
12.) 11 Jun 2026 19:04:19
You don't want to be eating them, Ajh. Not midday anyway. ?
13.) 11 Jun 2026 19:27:09
Gds2 I don't get the block thing I have to say.
You can choose not to engage but its an area of free speech within reason guided and monitored by the eds. I certainly don't like his constant negative tone and rhetoric but it appears that English isn't his first language so a bit of tolerance is fair imo.
He can often argue or discuss a point well imo but like all posters on here has opinions that fly in the face of logic at times.
I have my 'iks' and blind spots so does ajh & redman for example along with every other and are most are happy to admit that.
So much stuff written on here in one tone but read and perceived in a completely different one. People take the hump too easily.
I enjoy debating and arguing points on here and challenging others opinions. Its a hobby away from other stressful stuff and is stress free.
Some people don't like being challenged or being presented with challenges that contradict their view i find that enjoyable and relaxing and 5 mins on here several times a day allows me to swith my focus off my last task before I start my next one.
14.) 11 Jun 2026 22:20:10
It does indeed, GDS. I have applied it now to 4 accounts, and the site is much clearer. In fact, there is almost nothing to respond to.
I'm well aware my account may be blocked by lots too, so this might not even see the light of day!
15.) 12 Jun 2026 03:30:19
Who said that?

Is that a cunning ploy to deduce whether you have been? :D
19.) 12 Jun 2026 11:21:24
Any consensus agreed going forward will be even more flawed if you don't include the blocked. ????
20.) 12 Jun 2026 15:10:23
Well he hasn't replied to me, Spenno, so I guess I may be blocked!
21.) 12 Jun 2026 16:37:06
I doubt it, AJH. But if so, wear it as a badge of honour. ?
22.) 12 Jun 2026 22:40:48
This is far down the page now. I've blocked him because I disagreed with everything he said, Ken, and was wasting my time arguing. I love a debate, but when someone doesn't listen and just says things they don't even believe to get a reaction, that isn't a debate for me. It's trolling, so I don't want to read his posts.
29 May 2026 12:56:51
People keep saying "United have spent loads" as if spending money automatically means spending well.
The reality is we've wasted hundreds of millions on players who were either bang average, mentally weak, lazy, didn't suit the system, or simply nowhere near the standard required for Manchester United.
José wasn't the first manager hung out to dry either. LVG openly said the club failed to get his main targets and kept handing him 3rd, 4th and 5th choice signings. Since Ferguson retired, managers have been expected to build title-winning sides with leftovers and commercial signings.
As MUFC fans we've had to sit through years of dreadful football watching managers force out-of-position players into systems they clearly can't play, while the board acts shocked when it all falls apart and sacks another manager.
Then the cycle repeats:
New manager.
Wrong players.
Massive wages.
No football IQ.
Manager blamed.
Huge payout.
Start again.
For over a decade we've been absolutely robbed in the transfer market and laughed at across Europe because clubs know United panic, overpay and reward failure.
1.) 29 May 2026 13:35:33
Last summer was much better.
2 proven EPL players at a reasonable price.
1 promising young striker who suits the league's physicality.
1 young keeper, bought for cheap and exceeded expectations.
If we stick with this transfer strategy, the club is on the right track.
A few proven players, if they can be got for a fair price, and a handful of prospects. That's how you build a squad that can be competitive now with the potential to get better without throwing away money on big names.
2.) 30 May 2026 09:53:30
Danny,
To take the next step, and for the club's 2028 aims to be met, we need to modify that strategy. It's not enough. We need at least one top-level diamond, if not two. It's not throwing money away on big names; it's about buying the right profile of player, and, if a top-level player that moves us to contenders is available, pay what it takes.
Arsenal paid, was it, £105m for Declan Rice? To compete, we need to up the strategy.
3.) 30 May 2026 15:39:33
Redman, I honestly think the club's arbitrary timeframe is nonsense. After watching a decade and a half of money being wasted on big name players, I'm more than happy to see a slow and steady approach to transfers.
The truth is that the only reason a £100m player would come to us right now is for money.
Despite our league position, we're still a long way from competing for titles. 2-3 years of this approach to squad building should get us a lot closer, and then we can start bringing in that level of player because.
23 May 2026 17:41:15
Well done to Hull, they deserve it. The last 10 was madness, backwards and sideward passes for Boro.
Put the ball in the box. I was screaming, and when they did, it went out for a GK.
Who's doing the predictions this year?
1.) 23 May 2026 19:54:16
Great for them. Poor game, though, imo. They will do well to get more points than Wolves did this season in the EPL, imo.
2.) 23 May 2026 20:29:40
They will be favourites to go down. A remarkable turnaround from last year, but it shows the vagaries of the play offs. They snuck into 6th, having lost 15 league games, but the knockout games have got them to the EPL. Well done to them, but they will be straight back down. Good luck to Stockport tomorrow.
3.) 24 May 2026 05:27:33
This is particularly for the hard to understand souls: whichever Alta ego they use, both factors heavily influence standings, but in distinctly different ways. A high wage bill is the single strongest statistical predictor of Premier League success, as it directly reflects a club's ability to attract elite talent and depth.
A large supporter base indirectly affects standings by driving the massive revenues required to sustain those top-tier wage budgets.
4.) 24 May 2026 10:02:27
11 times in 33 years the team with the highest wage bill has won the EPL.
The biggest predictor of success in the EPL is the amount of points you win, closely followed by the amount of goals you score, and thirdly the amount of goals you concede.
The only time the best supported team wins the EPL is when United win it.
I think every year United have had the best attendance, but not won it for over 10 years.
Usually money talks to some degree, but is not the major deciding factor. More often than not, the team that has the best coaching wins.
5.) 24 May 2026 15:15:39
I am so glad to hear you are better informed than AI, which is exactly where that cut and paste comes from, so forgive me if I take more notice of that than you...
6.) 24 May 2026 18:00:27
If you ask AI to give you the details of the 3 men that started the Aer Lingus airline, it will spit out 3 profiles.
But only 2 men started the company, but because you asked for 3, it will give you 3 profiles. AI is not a definitive source, and needs to be treated with levels of doubt.
AI gave me the 11-times stat. I double-checked it and got nothing to contradict the fact that the highest wage bill has only won the EPL 1/3 of the time, and indeed the biggest spenders the summer before have only won the league on 8 occasions, again according to AI.
22 Jun 2026 02:56:46
Just after he has had surgery for pain that kept him out of Japan's WC squad.
At least bring a rumour with some substance.
04 May 2026 13:55:57
Why consider selling him at this stage? Do we currently have a goalkeeper of sufficient quality to reliably serve as a number two?
Recent seasons have shown that even the top clubs struggle when their first-choice goalkeeper is unavailable, often resulting in a significant drop in points. Given the increased number of fixtures we are likely to face, depth in this position is essential.
Reintegrating him into the squad would provide valuable competition and cover, while also strengthening the overall confidence and stability of the defence. It has been some time since Manchester United had two goalkeepers of genuine top-level quality, and this could be an opportunity to restore that balance.
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.

Wow Gabriel, the guy who should have had 3 reds.
Watching Rice run the pitch, arms up, and finally get a yellow was joyous.
Haha Gabriel, karma hit you.

"From both sides" is easy to say when you're nowhere near it.
I know people who travelled out to bring aid and they came home traumatised within 36 hours from what they saw.
Football won't fix war crimes or human suffering. And trying to reduce it to banter or balance points is honestly grim.
I'm Catholic — I know prejudice exists. But innocent civilians suffering should never be mentioned in a sentence with a team sport.
24 May 2026 10:48:44
Will there be any budget left... I'm sure we need to fix our cm first, and if Shaw can stay fit, I don't see why we can't shoehorn Dorgu, like Spurs did with Bale.
