United can bid £55m to steal MMount from Chelsea but watch James Madison join Tottenham on £9m a yr, and £40m + add ons.

What is it with you and possession based football?
Why do you think it's the only proper way Manchester United can play?

Again you think you have the patience for what you are asking for but you don't.
You'll first have to change the structure of your club and then start a new tradition before you buy players to fit into this new tradition while being aided by this new structure.
Possession football isn't just about buying players.
Also the reason I talk about DeGea is because in the grand scheme of things, he is not the person you should even be looking to change first. Not even close.

Everytime you talk about clear out when it took you how long to let a common Phil Jones leave your team.
If you guys were going to do a clear out, by now the number of people that would have left would give you an idea about that.

As it is, you most definitely will be starting the new season with almost the same players as last season which means it's still the same type of football which means again you'll need a shot stopper more than a midfielder who just happens to be a good GK.

Understand your reality.
Firstly, it's the way Ten Hag plays. It's the reason we hired him. Ten Hag's not the first manager to get an underdog to the UCL semi-final. What made him stand out is the style of play. Don't let's start changing facts here.

This your mentality is the reason United fails. You bring in a manager like Ten Hag and you're asking it possession based football is the only way. We'll probably get the same silly questions if we had gotten a Pep or Klopp.


As for your other statements, I don't even know where to start to begin. I'm sure you've heard countless times as to what's expected of a mordern goalkeeper. So I don't know what the stubbornness as regards Degea is all about.

Man's only top attribute(shot stopping) has dwindled drastically, Can't build out from the back with him, makes silly mistakes when under pressure, can't claim crosses and to cap it all, he's the highest paid Goalkeeper in the world. How's he not the one we should be looking to change?

Look at the whole first team right from the top to the bottom. Our likely team. Which one of these bums don't fit the style of play and won't get into any top team.

Rashford.
New Striker(Kane or whoever)
Antony
Bruno
Mount
Casemiro
Shaw
Martinez
Varane/Kim min JAE
Dalot/Bissaka
Degea.




Out of the whole team. Only Degea stands out as the one that won't get into any top team and doesn't fit the style of play.
For example, people might say top teams will probably not want Antony(which I strongly disagree), but he fits the style of play.
Casemiro might not perfectly fit the style of play, but top teams want him.

You get the point?



Leave sentiments aside and face facts. With Degea we'll never attempt to start playing ETH's style unless we want a disaster class like Brentford away.

So they slashed De Gea's wages for the new contract, and after he'd agreed and signed it, they proposed a new contract with even lower wages.

Even if the manager doesn't want him as number 1, that's no proper way to treat anybody, talkless of someone like De Gea. It's immature and dehumanizing.

You can bet the same thing happened with Herrera when he left to PSG.

Indecision, clumsiness and lack of clarity. That's just one reason why these guys are so incompetent and ruining the club.

[quote author=afrodoc post=124067140][/quote]Since January or so, they can conclude a sale with willingly buyers. They sha want to squeeze every single penny from them club.

He should have made his decision on DDG since. Either you keep or you let him go on time. The same problem with Maguire. If ETH had told him face to face that he was an otondo defender with no chance of starting Maguire would have been pushing to leave the club instead of this delusion of fighting for his place.

The guy needs competent technical directors and directors of football badly. The confused souls the Glazers appointed will get lost in a telephone booth.

This decision came late jare. If ETH really wanted DDG out, he should’ve communicated it since and they shouldn’t have offered him any contract renewal in the first place.

We can’t have DDG on +200k per week (his rumored slashed wages) and then keep him on the bench as a no 2. It’s not done that way.

Rumors about FDJ have started again too.

Oh lawd!

We seriously need a DoF. Someone with proper football brains at the management level.

EtH didn’t operate alone at Ajax. Overmars was the main guy behind their transfers, and VDS was their CEO. Why should he have an overwhelming say at United, a much bigger club?

Me thinks he was avoiding a situation where a ball playing GK won't be available after letting DeGea go and we'll become worse off. But looks like the sudden availability of Onana changed the scenario. Instead benching DeGea, it's better he let's him leave.

As for Maguire, if he can't read the room at United, that's on him. He's on crazy money that he won't get else where so he might feel motivated to keep fighting for his place 😁

Lastly, unless the Glazers are gone, we won't get those changes.

Ellexy, the proper way to do this would’ve been to start enquiring about Onana and co by April.

Heck, we could’ve gotten Bart Verbruggen if worst came to the worst. We could then renew DDG for one year and slowly ease Verbruggen in during the whole of next season.

The lad is on his way to either Burnley or Brighton now. And guess what? The managers of those two teams play out from the back extensively.

The way we’ve gone about the whole thing is just so so messy and smacks of incompetency.

Me neither.

Barca wants to sell him 100%. But he doesn’t want to forgo the salary they owe him.

If we get him quickly, I don’t mind. I just don’t want us to ho through another summer being linked with him and eventually not getting him and not getting anyone else in his mould.

I agree it's not classy the way this was handled but anything can happen in football.

New info can change everything overnight.
