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.

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

Exactly no serious club will have Onana has first choice GK, if Amorim should retain Onana next season then he have himself to blame.

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 😭😭🤣

nitrogen:
Nawa o. Na fight? Amorim will get his players. Although, I wanted him gone before the end of last season. The board did not sack him, so they must give him players. I just hope we are signing the right players for Amorim and/or any other person that might takeover from him. Because, there is no funds to waste. Our transfers must hit 7/10 in terms of quality, otherwise, this current wilderness will become our home!

So who do you want?

Valid points. I was just trying to say that some years ago, we wanted the best players in their positions from top clubs.

Anyways, we sha did not overpay for the guys you mentioned. Hoping we dont do so now because if the transfers don’t turn out well (God forbid, although history dey there), we would have wasted very scarce resources given our financial position now vs some years ago.

We should not buy that guy for 60m. I don’t care how many goals he scored last season, the guy fit get here no see chances at all due to many reasons.

Onana this, Onana that, they better sign one correct midfielder wey go partner Bruno for that midfield else wetin our eyes go see next season go pass that Ten Hag doughnut midfield.

Spurs and standards? What exactly have they achieved in the past 10 years?

Spurs have refused to accept excuses for 16th position despite the UEL triumph and their chairman has taken necessary actions.

• 60m for a Brentford player whose current contract expires next summer

• The decision to offer him a significant wage hike (he is currently on 45k/week)

Let's just be patient. He would come good and there wouldn't be need to revisit these

You catch am for very bad place. The guy had to surrender sharperly.

If we buy Mbeumo for 60m and he flops now I hope the usual suspects will apportion some blame to club ownership and management as well.

No be coach dey negotiate or approve transfer fee and salary o.

Bruno is key to the new project, that's why Amorim told him and the club to reject that Saudi Mega offer.

Watch out for superb performances from him next season!

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

I had to go and crosscheck the previous pages to be sure it was the same person.

The players we have been linked to have the potential to succeed in our team if we have the right system in place but there is no guarantee in sports.

I am more interested in us not buying players that can only work in a 3-4-3 system that we might be changing from in 6 months. I also don't want the kind of fees/contracts that will hamstring us for years like ETH did with Antony, Rasmus, Mount, and even Lisandro Martinez. In case these new players fail, they should not become immovable albatrosses around our neck for years.

Yep. The whole thing seems sketchy plus if this was 5 years ago, I wouldn’t complain. Right now, the wallet is freaking dry, no chance for mistakes.

I will blame manager, ownership and management this time. Thank God it’s not the Glazers calling the shot this time.

Excellent. I have also noticed something. Except on very few occasions. I dont know if its me, but players are usually reluctant to leave Man united, even when their wages are not even too big.

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

What stops us from scoring two or three after that?

What stops us from scoring two or three after that?

And our mantra would be to outscore our opponents in the whole 38 games of the season..

There shouldn't be any time we would beat our chest and say, OUR GK WON US THIS GAME..

nitrogen:

I'm really not excited with the purchase of Mbeumo, I wouldn't go for him if I was in charge, but you never can tell if he'd excel here or not. He might end up proving us wrong.

Besides, buying players from big clubs also doesn't guarantee success. We've bought Di Maria, Casmeiro, Pogba, Varane, Onana, Sancho (Dortmund is relatively big in Germany) etc., for huge prices or huge player wages and yet, we've all struggled. So, buying from a big club hasn't worked out well for us.

In the past, during Fergie's era, we tend to buy from other EPL clubs from time to time and utilized them well to achieve success. The likes of Rooney, Keane, Cole, Cantona, Ferdinand, Carrick, etc., were gotten from EPL clubs lower than us, even some from relegated clubs like Roy Keane, and they brought us astounding success.

So, maybe it's time to go back to that tradition seeing as almost all of our foreign purchases have failed to take us to the level we once were. Liverpool got Mane & Van Dijk from Southampton. Got Robertson from a relegated Hull side, but see how these players galvanized them to success. Jota was gotten from Wolves. Wijnaldum gotten from Newcastle.

So, stop underrating players coz of their club, it's the potential and what they can do that matters, but most especially how the coach can bring out the best in them. No matter who we buy, if Amorim doesn't have the technical ability to make them play well, it'll still be a futile exercise.

My grouse with Mbeumo is I feel that the price being bandied about is too high as I don't rate him highly, but if Amorim wants him, let's try to get him so Amorim won't have any excuse for the awful football his team gave us last season.

patrickmuf:
See where you get it all wrong, so typical of the majority of the fanbase. Where have all the top players we have been signing from top teams taken us to? City are going after Reijnders, Cherki, Air Nouri and Livaramento but I don't see anyone complaining...If we were the ones signing those players and City signing Cunha and Mbeumo, I am sure you'd still criticise the team for signing players from Lyon, Milan and Wolves...

Exactly!!!

You and this your statement that the wallet is dry just dey weak me.

Same person saying the wallet is dry is the one still saying we are buying from the likes of Brentford.
