LostMyZeal:
There's just something about all these deals that don't seem right.

My gut feeling is telling me we about to enter one chance with most of our acquisitions

I mean, it's either we're consciously going after players with questionable injury records or we're after club rejects who couldn't get a collar talk more of a shirt

Something seems off. I smell a rat and this might give ETH more wriggle room for excuses to elongate his bad gameplay era

I haven't watched any preseason game but the commentary here is not encouraging. I'll wait for the community shield.

eph12:
I thought this Mazra guy is for the LB?

He is more a RB.

joseph1832:
the FG agreeing to do is, will make those who are responsible for the loss of our crude oil, not happy. I mean, it will literally mean they won't get to steal, like they used to.

So, Dangote is in for a whole lot of mess. Those who benefit from the sale of crude oil and those who benefit from subsidy, will be all out to do whatever it takes to make sure they frustrate the FG and Dangote together.

If Tinubu have the political will, he will go after them with every instrument of government and trust, they can only be one winner.

A select few kleptocrats can't and shouldn't be holding the whole country to ransom.

TrebleChamp:
INEOS no wan sign players again ni? Abi they want to do another De Jong with Ugarte? United need a DM, CM and a proper right and left back..

I think Bayern want to sign Tah before letting De Ligt go. On our part we want to get rid of AWB before signing Mazraoui.

In the midfield, PSG want Neves, I feel they'll be more open to let Ugarte leave after signing the Portuguese, They want to fleece us at this point so they can use the money to buy Neves.

I am not sure we are linked to any LB.

joseph1832:
some will say Nigeria can't progress with subsidy in place, yet look at how we have fallen since subsidy was removed.

We have crude and there's Dangote refinery. Let them subsidise the cost of crude for Dangote and agree on the price he will sell to marketers. The money we are making from the sale of crude is largely unaccounted for so, it is best the government directs NNPC to sell at a subsidised cost to Dangote.

It will be easier to track and not like the very corrupt subsidy regime in place.

Tinubu should bring back fuel subsidies.

Stop oil theft and subsidise the cost of crude sold to Dangote so that he in turn can sell at an agreed cost to Nigerians. It is that simple.

CrystalTiger:
I saw this news yesterday and I just shook my head..Our politicians have very funny priorities..

Lost my dad fourteen days ago and the caterer bill I received yesterday, I just wonder how the average Nigerian is able to feed..

Sorry for your loss bro.

iamoyindamola:
When we say Nigeria hard these politicians think it’s only food and food
That’s just obvious these guys are so clueless and useless
Sharing palliative and reducing foodstuffs is all they think about as solution

They simply have no clue what the ordinary man is going through.

It is what happens you a leader surrounds himself with sycophants and yes-men.

TrebleChamp:
When i said Tinubu should have used that 90billion naira Hajj subsidy money to subsidize food, this is what i meant. We can all see how wicked and insensitive this Govt is, threat of protest is now forcing them to take some very necessary actions. Kudos to Tinubu for acting at least....

This people no rate us. Did it have to take a protest for them to do the needful?

So far, Tinubu has been a big disaster.

I was not in support of the protest but now, I am 100% in...

Ballzproblemm:
I'm starting to doubt clear lake made their money legitimately, cause how can you hire amateur coach nack 5 years contract,sack am still turn around hire another amateur coach nack another 5 years contract.

Lol.

nitrogen:
Did you see the game?

Ignore that toad.

ChristoBam:
Inter Milan is literally looking to swap Dumfries with Bissaka. That alone says enough.

As confirmed by David Orstein.

We will see who will add money plus player.

ChristoBam:
He is actually. Inter would kill and throw Dumfries into the bins if they had a chance to get Dalot.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I've always genuinely believed Dumfries won't do that great for us. I guess the recruitment team also thinks the same.

Like we have had a chance to sign him. I can as well say I guess the recruitment team don't think Mbappe, Messi and the likes won't do that great for us.

odizeey:
There is nothing special about Dalot's game. Just hype.

E come be like say no be the Dalot wey we dey watch steady.

ChristoBam:
Dalot is better. And I actually love Dumfries.

Dalot is not better by Dumfries.

Ellexy:
Dumfries is a wing wingback not a fullback. Good at going forward, shit at defense. If we're looking to replace AWB, it should be a clear upgrade not with Dumfries who Dalot is better than.

In the Euros, did he play as a wingback?

Dalot better than Dumfries? Only on these boards.

Dumfries is better than AWB...

Our fanbase is funny, spend the whole season criticising a player and when it is time to replace the same player fans will start sounding like he is Lahm or Alves.

CrystalTiger:
I think that's where Orstein edges him..

Yes...

Oasis007:
Manchester United remain in discussion with PSG for Manuel Ugarte, after green light from player and personal terms agreed last week.

No agreement between clubs yet.

Man United are also in talks to decide how to proceed on new terms with Fiorentina for Sofyan Amrabat.

- Fabrizio Romano

Fabrizio just dey repost same news over and over again.

The songs no be for today's kids...

obonujoker:
🔴 Erik ten Hag: "A lot has been taken away from me in scouting and recruitment. That is necessary", told AD.

"You need a very strong structure in scouting/transfer policy".

"The club has acquired incredible know-how and knowledge of the market that helps me. Very good signs".

As it should be...

obonujoker:
Ugartte

Not official.

obonujoker:
3 major signings for Ten Hag already.

No way he won't win the league this season.

NO EXCUSES.

Who be the third signing?

CapitalCee:
We have more players to sell rather than Mctomminay I swear. Eriksen, Casemiro, Hannibal and Lindelof. For me I will want Mctominay to stay. He stays in the bench comfortably and pops up with occasional clutch goals.
As for Collyer, if am ETH, the boy is fully participating this season

McTom should be sold too especially now we can get some good money from his sale. The odd goal isn't enough to mask his performance over the course of a season.

metodman:
It just seems like they Mount and Bruno don't play same position, yet they do.

My pray is that a team buys AWB...I really don't like his play at all, regardless of the match being a pre-season match. He's also not the smartest chap.

That's why I am holding out for a LB (Shaw can't be trust), RB (Deputy for Dalot), 2 CM who are adpet at playing the DM role or DM who is adept as a CM (McTom, Erikson and Casemiro should be sold).

Casemiro has to good because he is on high wages. Erikson is old and McTom is not comfortable on the ball enough to be an option from the bench. Collyer can take Erikson's place.

afrodoc2:
They are pained.

We need a RCB anyway. I suspect Yoro is not ready to be first choice.

Same here. We don't need to throw him into the thick of things and even if we do, we need a top level option in the waits so that the pressure doesn't get to him.

Oasis007:
Lineup

Where is Rashford and Antony?

Oasis007:


MUTV shouldn't be unfortunate this evening. Pre-Season games should be free nah. Make dem allow person sees today's game o.

I will appreciate link(s), incase MUTV choose to be unfortunate again.

They stopped the Rosenborg game midway.

Oasis007:


De Ligt and Ugarte wanna join the Club, but Era of spending recklessly is over. Either they accept our terms or we move to next on the List.

I think we will eventually get De Ligt. Bayern have spent quite a lot and are still in the market for another winger. They'll need to balance the books and that's where De Ligt to United comes in.

Ugarte will also join once PSG gets Neves. Zubimendi will prefer Barcelona/Madrid but none of them is in the market for a deep lying playmaker so, we just might get him if we try.

afrodoc2:
We made over 50m in sales?

Greenwood, Kwambala, VDB, Alvaro Fernandez. I think it is close to 50m

afrodoc2:
I am suspecting it would be one of Ugarte or Zubimendi cos each one will be relatively expensive. I don't think we will spend big money on 2 midfielders, especially if we still aim to get De Ligt or Branthwaite.

I thought they said we have a budget of around £200m. We have spent a little over 100m and we have made over 50m in player sales so, spending another 100-150m should be well within our means.

Ugarte and Zubimendi won't cost more than £100m which is quite fair. McTom, Casemiro and Erikson should fetch us close to £60m.

One of Maguire/Lindelöf will be sold which should also bring in £25m or something close to it.
