Kusen interested in Antony

Jamiuokolaa:
And again, they have no obligation to trigger it, as seen below for players that were also "promised".

Mbuemo's contract ends this time next year.

Ok

Jamiuokolaa:
The number of years left is what is written down and signed, not the one they verbally committed to do in future..and where they don't even have any obligation to honor.

Mbuemo signed a contract that expires next year as shown below

The optional year is also written down and signed. It's basically in your screenshot. Club has the option of an extra year in his contract which they have said they will trigger making it two years left. I really dont get whats hard to understand

Jamiuokolaa:
I am not working with future tense.

Below is the expiration date of Mbuemo's current contract at Brentford. This was what Mr Mrviktor correctly referred to in his initial post.

You must take into account the optional year Brentford are going to trigger. If you are working in a company and you have a year left in your original deal, then the company says it's going to trigger the optional year in your contract, how many years do you have left?

Jamiuokolaa:
Thats because I clearly said that the club have no obligation to trigger his extension. The reasons for triggering or not triggering are actually Irelevant here.

The actual contractual years are what matter, not options for extensions.

Brentford have said they will definitely trigger his extension which is why it's reported they are under no pressure to sell which means he has two years remaining.

Jamiuokolaa:
Abeg lets just dead this matter biko

You are bringing examples of people in their 30s with high salaries and no sell values.

odizeey:
Shey Maguire be like who desperate to leave?

The club triggered it unilaterally. Maguire had no say in it.

Jamiuokolaa:
Same way they may decide not to do so, or he decides he wants to walk for free...that's why it's an option.

Technically, that man would be a free agent by this time next year !

Brentford will definitely trigger the optional year if he stays, it's just a formality. We did the same with Maguire this season. He technically has two year left.

Jamiuokolaa:
Why are you adding the club option of one year extension..lol

That man's current contract at Brentford officially ends in Summer 2026

The club can automatically trigger the extension so it's effectively 2 years.

Mrviktor:
🚨 Manchester United have submitted £45m plus £10m add ons proposal for Bryan Mbeumo.

Negotiations started, as @David_Ornstein reports.

Brentford ask for fee close to what Man United paid for Cunha — starting from £70m with possibility to negotiate.


A player with only one year left on his contract... Another mount situation.. we better stand our ground with 47+3

He has two years left.

First bid.

Leyqute:
Mateta is not bad. He’s the kind of CF you want when you have fast wingers or AMs beside him. He can hold up the ball and can finish chances. He can definitely play a role and might be a really good addition.

He offers a completely different profile to the likes of Gyokeres, Delap and Hojlund as he lacks pace. But he’s a good player.

Spot on. Also next season hopefully we get a constant first Eleven, no changes unless needed. The only benefit of no European football. We can rotate for Cup games

delkuf:
am not writing mainoo off, but that guy has really disappointed me. Ugarte for me is good defensive but offensively he is found wanting.

Let get another defensive midfielder or promote some of the academy. Maybe kone

We are linked with Atalanta Ederson and Wharton but nothing concrete yet. I think it depends on Casemiro staying or leaving.

Maino/ Bruno then Ugarte/ New player if Casemiro leaves. I expect Collyer to take Eriksen minutes this season if he stays. They were also reports Amorim plans on using Cunha deeper.

Two players we all ignoring is Zirkzee and Maino. I feel both players would perform better this coming season. Zirkzee was picking up form before his unfortunate injury and he would link up well with both Cunha and Mbuemo.

delkuf:
yeah our recruitment has really improved since ineos took over.

I want us to really enforce more on midfield especially the defensive midfield. That is where we are seriously lacking. We conceded lots of goals this past season so it shouldn't happen again

Maino needs to step up in that role. I see no reason why Ugarte( Despite his limitations he's a still brilliant ball winner with high energy) and Maino/Bruno can't work. With Mbuemo and Cunha coming in , Maino only position to get game time is in that role.

Leyqute:
Unless we sell Hojuju, I don’t really think Delap would be a good addition. For me, there isn’t much difference between the two of them.

Even if we have one or both of them we’ll still need a good striker who is not inexperienced and can score goals without needing his teammates to work for him.

We’re building a squad, not a starting XI. By the time season starts and injuries start cropping up, we’ll understand how important this is.

Delap would have been a fantastic addition. Apart from age he's not similar to Holjund in any way and besides Holjund scored 10 league goals and another 5 in the champions league in his first season. With a competent competition like delap he might pick up form again but that's by the way. Our back up to Delap is Mateta, Osimhen and Gyokeres have been ruled out. What do you think about Mateta?

Jamiuokolaa:
The bigger issues here is that Amorim would most likely shoehorn him into his style/formation - his captain must always start.

Bruno's best position is that free role behind the #9 in a 4-2-3-1 formation but since that 3-4-2-1 has come to stay, it would be interesting to see how the manager addresses this problem that has been lingering for since he joined the club

Bruno can play as one of the two deep midfielders as long as he has an energetic partner so no worries. After getting a Striker, I feel we would add another midfielder to the team then with extra funds a goalkeeper.

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

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...

Yet when we were scouting Delap for cheap everyone was shouting and screaming for the big names (Osimhen and Gyokeres). We the fans are not yet ready.

TrebleChamp:
Gyokeres still available...

According to reports we are not interested in Gyokeres and I don't think he would choose us as well. Mateta is our 2nd option.

Delap choose Chelsea. What a waste

MRTA7:
Cunha, Mbeumo and Delap would definitely be an interesting regeneration of the attack.

Only time will tell if it'll be good.

I would not sell Bruno for £100m but I would not be upset if the club decided to do it.

On Paper it looks great with Amad at LWB. In Amorim system the LWB is given the license to operate as a winger so it won't impact his attacking instincts. That Frontline guarantees goals.

Cunha is taking Rashford 10 as well.

Seems earlier reports were accurate. Our 3 main attacking targets are Cunha, Delap, Mbuemo/ Semenyo. Cunha is done, agreement already concluded with Delap pending his decision and now currently chasing Mbuemo. INEOS are not playing around

Jamiuokolaa:
Ha!

You believe Amorim can achieve top 4 with those those players?

Okay o

Delap, Cunha and Mbuemo combined scored 45 league goals this season. If we get all three they are definitely adding goals to this team.

Chelsea made top 4 with Jackson scoring 10goals, Sancho 3, Neto 4 and Madueke 7.

Arsenal finished 2nd with none of their players scoring up to 10 league goals.

Jamiuokolaa:
What league position do you think Amorim can achieve with these players you have listed?

On Paper that attack is definitely top 4 quality.

adisaaowala:
I think Cunha's purchase tells a lot about Amorim's preferred qualities in his 10s...unless he is looking to be have a runner/dribbler and a passer as 10s

I am also wondering where Mainoo would fit in the long run.

At CF, i think we should be looking at an upgrade on Delap. Unfortunately, not too many CFs seem to be "available" at the moment

With Delap skillset he would fit right in. The issue with many writing him off is they are basing their judgement on Hojlunds form / age and intermixing it with Delap. For 30million it's a steal. Let's be honest, Cunha - Mbuemo - Delap is already quite good with Holjund, Zirkzee, Mount, Bruno, Maino, Obi as back ups.

CapitalCee:
So that means he is Injury prone?
So Yoro is Injury prone too abi?
A lot of Young players get injured at the beginning, we have few exceptions. He is just 18.

This season he has been injury prone. That's all.

CapitalCee:
Heaven actually came back after an Injury scare, Amorim just substituted him for caution. So how is he even Injury prone. An 18 year old boy that doesn’t even have 1 full season of senior football. Based on what record is he branded injury prone?

This season he's been hampered by injuries. Hopefully it's a one off

adisaaowala:
I am not sure Amad has a future as a WB...

Amorim also needs to make his mind up about Bruno's long term position in the team - those shunts between CM and LAMF dont seem to be helping at all.

On the contrary I don't think amad has a future in this team as a 10. His best performance has come at wingback and we are stacked with so many tens.


Agree on the 2nd part. I think if Bruno stays he's definitely playing more as a centre midfielder.

Cunha done, Delap to follow. Between Semenyo and Mbuemo I am leaning towards Mbuemo now. He is very direct, effective and a descent goal threat.
Delap

Cunha. Mbuemo

Dorgu. Bruno. ?? Amad

Cunha to United is a done deal. First signing confirmed.
