Haha, Wolves and Brentford players should be our targets now? Issokay. I no get energy to argue today.

Among the First XI that started for Liverpool vs Spurs in the UCL final. Or those subbed in.
Joel Matip for free from Shalke 04 who finished 10th in Bundesliga.
VVD from Southampton.
TAA from the Academy.
Robertson from relegated Hull city.
Jordan Henderson from Sunderland.
Wijnaldum from relegated Newcastle.
Firminho feom Hoffienham who finished 15th in Bundesliga the season Liverpool bought him.
Mane from Southampton
Shaqiri from Stoke city, Joe Gomez from Charlton.

Frattessi that scored the Winning goal for Inter against Barca in the UCL semis was bought this season from second division team Sassualo.

Rooney was from Everton, Valencia was from Wigan, Vander sar from Fulham, Vidic from Spartak Moscow, Carrick got relegated with West ham 2 years prior to winning the league with Man Utd, Tevez was relegated with West ham a season before winning EPL and UCL with us.

Your argument don fall yakata flat for ground 😭😭🤣

maik99:
We are not serious if all we are looking to do is provide competition and not REPLACE onana
Dude is an irredeemable calamity and we'll do nothing with him in goal
GK should be a priority position for me considering the backup is rubbish too

No Serious team will have Onana as the first Choice GK. onana is not better than any first choice GK in EPL apart from Sanchez in Chelsea

afrodoc2:
But last week you were saying Mbeumo was a bad idea and that you would rather keep Rashford than sign him.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The thing shock me sef when he said that.

spillo1:
There's no where you will sign a winger coming on the back of a season after scoring 20league goals and providing 7assist in a top league like England for 40m. Sesko and ekitike with 13 and 14league goals in bundesliga are being prized for 70 to 80million. Let's be realistic for once.


As for his stats the upper season he had 9goals and 6 assist in 25games. Those are good stats for a winger at Brentford. What you will notice is constant progression and he might just be entering his prime.

This was about the same age Mane and Salah went on rampage. And Salah is still ripping the EPL till now he is 33. Any player who scored 20 goals in EPL as a winger is an Elite player and 60m total package is about right.

patrickmuf:
Lindelöf and Evans are gone. I don't trust Shaw and Martinez to be fit for a full season so we need a fit CB who can play left of the back 3 or Central...I am also thinking of the fitness/availability of De Ligt, I don't want us to depend on Maguire, Yoro and Mazrouni as the ever-present for a season. However, if Amorim thinks Martinez and Shaw are options to trust, we can start the search for a goalie to replace Onana.

Honestly, I would have loved one more CB, we seem to need urgent reinforcements in other areas especially GK

nitrogen:
Go and check his stats for seasons before the 24/25 season. If we want to go for a merc, we target established ones especially for 60m. This guy might underperform for us and we would be back to this point next summer.

I am hoping Amorim won’t have him replace Rasmus upfront or top strike him with Rasmus in a 3-5-2, because I don’t believe we will sign a new striker after getting Mbeumo and Cunha. Anyways, if we are to sign the guy, should be for max of 40m.

Who Should we sign as a striker to replace Hojlund please

CrystalTiger:
Scenes when we sign all these guys and Onana concedes with the first tame shot on target 🤣🤣🤣..

If Amorim no go find Gk even on loan, he has himself to blame, no more excuses for him

TrebleChamp:
Bro do you realise United will not play European football next season? What type of player can we realistically attract without paying crazy transfer fee plus crazy salary? United finished 15th this season, it will take pure love or financial inducement to convince our major targets to join. Make you try dey calm down

Noo you are right. We cant buy Cherki now, with the signing of cunha and Mbeumo. My point is for our online fans who said he has attitude issues. I think i prefer the Mbeumo and Cunha to Compared to Cherki TbH.

iamharkinwaley:
For real and we will compete… I don’t know why the club isn’t ruthless enough or doesn’t care. Some players don’t deserve to be here anymore but they still steal a living staying here a long time without doing anything e.g Shaw, took time before we got rid of Phil jones etc. Casemiro self is on 350k omoh

The wages are too big for buyers to take on, and most of our deadwoods are unwilling to leave, the reason why Hojlund, Garnacho and Antony are in transfer conversations is because they have lower wages. If not shaw and Casemiro are supposed to be sold immediately.

akwesenana:
I hear we wouldn't be going for a cb. He trusts Heaven.

Heaven is clearly quality. He is almost same age with Yoro and Huijsen who Madrid just got.
Remember when we get Mbeumo and Gyokeres. Amad will most likely be at RWB and there is also Dalot. Meaning that Mazraoui will be permanently at CB except extraordinary injuries

iamharkinwaley:
You want to know why we finished 15th?

— We conceded only 7 more goals than Newcastle, yet they scored 24 more than us.

— We conceded only 3 more goals than Aston Villa, yet they scored 14 more than us.

Newcastle finished 5th. Villa came 6th. And United? 15th.

The reason is simple: our forwards couldn’t score.

A lack of quality up front, combined with INEOS’ baffling decision to offload two attackers in January without replacements, left Amorim looking like a clown.

With Cunha, Mbeumo, and possibly Gyökeres coming in, don’t be surprised when we’re fighting for top 4 next season.

Copied on Twitter… I implore everyone to read this.

Apart from the attack. Onana has also cost us points. We would have conceded less goals.
The 3 goals that we conceded vs Forest, a quality GK would have saved all of them.
The Spurs winning goal away by Maddison was on Onana.
The 2 last goals by Brighton at Home
The first goal by Palace at home.
This are just from the top of my head.


The 2 most important positions we need to address are striker and GK.
If you remember during Fergie days he would have kicked Onana out of Man Utd since last year, he doesn't just with Goalkeeping. One error, you are benched and from there you are gone.

patrickmuf:
If we sign Mbeumo and Gyokeres, we just need two CMs, one CB and a goalie if Onana leaves...Lindelöf, Eriksen, Casemiro, and Shaw should be released or sold.

If we complete the signing of Mbeumo as its looking, and signs Gyokeres. We needed a GK more urgently, then a quality CB. With Mazraoui, Heaven, Yoro, Maguire, Deligt and Martinez returning in September. I think we are a bit more covered there.
The amount of points that Hojlund and Onana lost for us this season is atrocious.

akwesenana:
If you think Brentford wouldn't use the option to extend the contract as a bargaining chip, I've got nothing left to say to you.

Na una get time to the argue.

spillo1:
Why are your examples always so far off. The option was for Mbappe alone to decide to extend for a year not Psg, there was nothing the club could do. In this case Brentford are the one with the option not Mbuemo. I really don't get how something so simple is complicated for you to understand.

Lol, I have stopped engaging in arguments, If you do they will say you are condescending

patrickmuf:
Fans of this club will criticise the players every match day but once you talk about selling the player, he becomes irreplaceable...

I saw a couple of guys try to downplay Cherki when someone suggested we sign him...I think it was you or Spillo that mentioned Cherki...

I have mentioned Cherki here more than twice, but every time you talk am, they will tell you he has attitude, which attitude kwanu nobody knows. If he has bad attitude, well structured Liverpool and City will be chasing him, Dortmund nearly bought him in January.
They said he was not good against us, I brought out stats that showed otherwise, they twisted and started bringing inuendos. Every time he had the ball over the 2 legs, there was panic, infact it was when he was substituted after they went 4-2 and the coach thought they had won, then we made a comback because he retreated. Look at that his stoppage time equaliser after onana spilled the ball, very intelligent finish.
When Teilemans was free after Leicester, our fans said he was rubbish and finished, now look at him at Villa, infact that guy is what we actually needed for our advanced pivot, a younger Eriksen.
I think our board go on social media and gather our fans opinions and act on it, to remain popular, which eventually backfires. If you noticed, I once told someone here that because he felt that Mbeumo is not good enough, they club should do anything to buy him, because our fan’s opinion is usually off points 90% of the time.

Mrviktor:
Charkie cooked in this game shaaaa..

This france keeper is not good at all.
That ac Milan.. Chelsea linked fraud

They said he has attitude problem. Ok oo. Person wey Liverpool and City de drag to sign. We wey dey 16th de look for St Peter to sign. We never wan comot from Tranches

afrodoc2:
Sekou Kone just escaped a Shaw-like career-altering injury yesterday. There are some butchers masquerading as footballers.

I saw it. He needs to be careful.

When I talk about football knowledge, some will say i am condescending and will start confrontation.
A fake news of Mbeumo demanding 250k, promoted by 2 bitter and jealous Newcastle fan News outlet is what we are worrying ourselves about and confirming the reason for Mbeumo joining United.
Same thing was done to Chido-Obi and to some extent to Heaven by Arsenal bitter News fan pages. 😄😄

If Bruno is in another club, will we accept to buy him for 100m pounds? This is madness letting Bruno stay for that price. We need to collect that money and reinvest on 2 solid CMs. Then buy a solid GK, pushing Onana to bench, if he refuses send him to bench. Bruno is setting himself for series of attacks by the fan base. He needed to leave when the ovation is highest. Bruno staying is not a great new. I just hope i am wrong though.

Leyqute:
Did I say they were at the twilight of their careers?

My bad i read it wrongly. Apologies

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
E be like say Bruno and his agents manufactured this Alhilal rumour just to prove a point or get better deal from United

Bruno just signed new contract with about 250k+/week. As good as he is, I dont see the club paying him more than he already being paid or extend his contract beyond his current contract of 2027 when he will be 33/34 years. The Rumours are true. Fabrizo and Ornstein reported it, so its true.

spillo1:
I told you guys INEOS are not playing around. If Delap had chosen us we would had a front three by now.

Thank God, he didn't. We need Gyokeres or Osihmen.

Leyqute:
Mbeumo plus Cunha is a step in the right direction. They’re not at the twilight of their career and still have something to offer. We just need a few additions in other positions, especially in the striking department. With or without Amorim, that would be a good squad.

Like I’ve said multiple times before, our recruitment is improving. We just need to build on it with more quality players and sensible transfers.

INEOS still on serious watch though.

I agree with you in all you said. But they are not at the Twilight of their careers.

patrickmuf:
If we sign Mbeumo and Gyokeres then we have added real firepower in our attack...Cunha + Gyokeres + Mbeumo is 60 - 70 goals...That's our attack going from 0 to 100...

Sell Garnacho to fund the purchase of Mbeumo, sell or loan Hojlund for 2 seasons, sell Casemiro to a Saudi club for 25m, release Eriksen, sell Maguire, release Shaw, sell Onana, if we get a good offer for Bruno, sell him, you can use his fee to fund the purchase of Gyokeres and still have some balance.

If Bruno Stays. Added with a fully fit Amad. We may be looking at 100goals from just the 5 of them. But with Onana in post, we may be shipping in stupid goals, thereby sabotaging the work of the front line.

I am predicting a 10 goals EPL season for Zirkzee.

Mrviktor:
Honestly tho

Who hands all this contracts to these players tho that no other club can match and won't even consider..

Sancho with Dortmund..salary issue
Anthony ...fee and salary issue
Rashford... Salary issue
Sancho with Chelsea salary issue


🚨 Chelsea remain in contact with Jadon Sancho’s camp over contract terms, still no agreement on salary so far.

Final decision will be in few days, outcome expected next week.

If contract terms are not agreed, Sancho will go back to Manchester United with £5m compensation.

We need the money, but his contract with Man United is just remaining 1 year. If he refuses to find a club, he will be doing himself a disservice, he will not get any reasonable offer again. He better accept a decent offer from Chelsea, he seem to have settled there nicely

delkuf:
I believe it is our midfield we really need to enforce especially the defensive midfield. For me i believe we are ok with cunha.

Get lots of cover for the defense so that we don't let in goals like this season that just ended.

A team without a striker just won the champions League. Am not really fuss about getting a striker.
We should get a good defensive midfielder abd attacking midfielder.

We need to collect that €120m, and reinvest.

eph12:
5 games ke? Towards the end of preseason I don dey ask questions. After two games, your time is up

Me sef shock with the 5 games. Ordinary pre season for Asia wey no serious. People don begin add pressure. If the man no get up to 4 points in the first 2 games, he will be on sack watch.

patrickmuf:
Amorim should disturb that audio billionaire to get him Gyokeres...

If he likes let him not disturb the board, fans go pursue comot from the club if he is not topping the league by November

afrodoc:
Rayan Cherki is going to Man City.

CapitalCe can now rest.

No wahala , i pray he fails in City.

We are in for Mbeumo now. I prefer Mbeumo though. And he has chosen to join us.
If we can pull off Mbeumo, Cunha and Gyokeres, Amorim should convince him. Then we have overhauled our problematic attack

patrickmuf:
Inter were always going to struggle...Barcelona should have knocked them out but that's football...

Now, for those who keep asking if there's any player out there who can replace the ones we have, PSG brought in Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt, Duoe from Rennes, Neves from Benfica, Kvara from Napoli and look how they have gone on to dominate Europe. Save for Kvara, the rest were not so popular...In fact, 80% of the players in their squad were well-scouted, not the biggest names but efficient footballers...

They quickly shifted from going after big names to recruiting technical yet hardworking players...We don't need the big names, just go out there and sign players who are comfortable on the ball and are ready to work hard...It is not that difficult...

You seems to forget Vitinha from Porto.

Vitinha was here at Wolves on loan, Couldn’t get into the Wolves starting XI. Nobody signed him. He returned to Porto, nobody noticed him. PSG signed him, nobody noticed. That guy Vitinha is the best midfielder in the world.
