this is bang on.

😂

Spurs in for Mbuemo apparently.

Yep

Someone’s recently got up to speed with the PSR accounting side of things 😂

Gittens looks like he’s off to Chelsea.

are they in for him? FFS. that'll be that then! 😂

I think it'll be both as opposed to one or the other. Pedro doesn't solve or issue on the right hand side by any means.

So true!

Depends who they sell.

yep

Me too, and it'll be Gordon IMO.

You'd imagine this is as well as Elanga as opposed to instead of. Pedro doesn't play off the right at all, does he?

He'll be disappointed in that regard then.

this nails it.

who did we compete with for Bruno, Isak, Gordon, Tonali, Hall & Tino?

If Howe wants him, that’ll do for me.

Diaz moving will trigger Gordon to Liverpool imo.

Indeed.

He’s 19, he’s played almost 50 times for us at a time when we have one of the best midfields in the country. He’s also had a long term injury. Don’t get their frustrations at all tbh.

Yeah, thats fair.

Well hopefully we'll get to find out, and you're proved right. That would be wonderful.

I don't disagree with most of that, but players will always be attracted to Man Utd because it's Man Utd. That's just a fact. There's more to it than money IMO.

It really isn't ridiculous though. Man Utd are probably 3 players away (2 if they get Mbuemo) from sorting their shit out. And even 'their shit' is 9 finals in 10 years, and god knows how many cups from those finals. It's ridiculous for anyone to suggest that players choose Man Utd over us for money alone, they're one of the biggest clubs in the world ffs, and still win more than most in their worst time in decades.

I'm not sure there is a suggestion we're 'working with pennies', but we definitely pay less than most clubs in our position (i'd guess our top earner is less than Arsenal's, Man City's, Chelsea's, Spurs and even Villa's). I'd guess our overall wage bill is less than all of theirs too. But thats a combination of a legacy issue on our part plus the way the rules are.
