Haha some fans are bonkers, there's still 70 odd days left of the window isn't there?

Signings will happen, we are slow and they are usually latefor us.

I'm just happy enough atm that we seem to be moving the big turd on. Anything else is a bonus

You racist!

Sounds like they are just jealous they don't have Levy

 

[Marcel Proust]

What happened to Barca to make them become so skint all of a sudden?

Audio visual rights apparently.

Apparently they still want to offload de jong - pedri. Gavi. Kessie.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Sources say there is a gap at present of between €10 million to €15 million in guaranteed money from #MUFC's proposal to Barcelona’s demands for Frenkie de Jong. The move is led by John Murtough #mujournal [@lauriewhitwell]

It's good for us in that they can't afford our asking price for Raphinha

Maybe they can. See what happens.

Someone else will likely buy him otherwise ..

Phil Hay reporting Leeds want James McAtee on a permanent as part of any Phillips deal.

Bloody hell, do you want our academy kit man as well? He'll be the only one left at this rate.

Similar to Delap and Lavia, I think we'd be reluctant to let go without it being a loan or buyback. But he will be playing senior football next season and I doubt it will be with us.

Small chance they ever become regulars at your club with your buying
Apart from McAtee how many of the top half dozen are locals

 

[Loonerty]

Glad that Inter will be taking Lukaku. They can have his 6.4 thumbs up per 90.

85% of our academy comes from the local area.

85% of our academy comes from the local area.

My understanding is that the Elite Development Squad is U23 and the Academy is U18. Then there's a bunch of players out on loan. There appears to be more than 15% of those squads who are not local lads.

Maybe where they come from is not a big deal. It's more of an issue that these youth squads are not enhancing the first team. Is Foden the only current player that has come through the ranks and made an impact?

The 85% is our academy from under 8s to under 23. Palmer broke through a bit this season, although injury stopped him from playing more. He's been at the club since 8.

All in all we had 11 players that played underage and senior football with us last season. 3 from greater Manchester, 5 from elsewhere in the UK and 3 from other countries.

It makes sense that 8 to 16 year olds are locals. Parents would have to take them to training. But then the over 16s starts being international young players. More like 50% as you get to U23.

I'm looking at the current first team squad and only Foden has come through the youth ranks to play many games. There's a few others that have played a handful of games. I suppose City's first team are one of the highest standard in Europe so it's harder for the youth to break through.

 

[moomba]

If they're good enough they'll make it. If not with us, a lot of our academy kids are performing at a high level elsewhere.

I reckon Palmer will play a bit next season.

Snubbles on an enormous scale obviously.

Gonna be tough to give them all game time

If you ignore the dailymail and the s*n. The list is only 7 people.

 

[hawkman]

Wenger would be jealous

 

[moomba]

Jesus (Arsenal), Sterling (Chelsea) and Zinchenko (Everton) our three likely departures.

The net spend trophy hunt is back on. Get in.

If you look down the list, it’s like holy crap, United really were linked to all those players.
