Transfer discussion thread

Anyway. Thiago done. Let's hope he can take us to another level.

We're all ****ed if you go to another level

Nice rant, but not really true.

1) Theres now an agreement between FCB and BVB that no players will be traded between clubs. There’s literally a 0% chance he will go there next year - but glad to see you’re already angry.

2) Buying a player young player and turning them into a top tier player literally is developing them. Do you think a player is a finished product at 17? Did we develop Sancho, or did City/Watford? Will Bellingham be the same player after he’s left us as he was with Birmingham? Do you know who Gio Reyna is? We have one of the best u/19 squads in the world right now - Reyna, Bellingham, Moukoko, Pherai, Collins, Raschal.

3) It’s obviously an issue to hold onto non-German players. But there’s two ways to get to Bayern’s level. Both of them involve raising capital. One is by developing youth, trying to keep as many as possible, and maximise profit of the ones that don’t stay. The second option is to attract the best German players/players who want to stay in Germany from other clubs and get them on free or very cheap transfers (see Lewandowski, Goretzka, Nübel, Süle, Sane). I’m no fan of ******* other clubs in your own league. But 25m is good money for Birmingham, and they’ll probably get a good percentage of the next fee too. It’s a win win for them.

3.5) The Dembele saga was part a house of cards happening due to Neymar moving, and part Barcelona doing the campaignery things that they do. Had nothing to do with us wanting to sell him. The guy trashed Klopps house and went on strike. We ran rings around Barcelona in the end.

4) We’re under no illusions that Sancho will leave next summer, but its not because money is more important than silverware, its because he’s English and it will be time for him to go there ... plus we simply can’t afford the wage he should be played.

You come on here talking big but you actually don’t make any solid points - its all selling club verbatim. FWIW, I actually cant believe I bothered to respond to this dribble when I should be going to bed and getting a good nights sleep but hey.

Nice rant.

Our local paper taking shots at United fans, you love to see it

Perhaps a bit off topic but does anyone else really not love seeing all these "you love to see it" comments that are popping up lately? I don't understand how/why this has become a thing but it is so cringe.

Clubs like Chelsea and city doing all they can to challenge by spending billions during a pandemic. You'll be fine.

But Liverpool havent spent to get where they are, just hard work and a bit of luck.

Apparently it is to United. Every transfer summer they literally run through hoops and end up buying a footballer not on anyone’s radar. I don’t see the Sancho transfer happening at this point.

If utd pay the asking price the Dortmund hq would personally drive him to England imo

The only reason it wouldn't happen is the scummy utd owners

Idk most expensive gk and cb ever

The hard work and luck is Michael Edwards working his magic with player sales fees. Without that, there is next to no chance to sign the players we have.

I don't see the point of this post. Only thing that's funny is peps and cities spending and still no champions league. PMSL.

What did I say?? I said city and Chelsea are spending big as usual to close the gap. Am I wrong??

Ibe?

At the time he was being hyped up something massive.

And Klopp. Selling and buying and making a team that's the envy of the world. What he's doing is phenomenal.

He hit the post against Everton in a derby and suddenly he was the next sterling at the time.

Yeah. Dortmund always sell their best players. Most clubs are selling clubs anyway even the bigger ones but the bigger name players usually are less likely to leave once they are reguarly winning things. If United paid what Dortmund wanted, Sancho would be a United player by now.

haha another one that is a free agent currently.

Liverpool haven't spent a dime.

Coutinho did not get sold for 142 million. Price is like 90-110 max.

Stewart was not 8m either.
