£65m+£5m bid in for Mbeumo. Expected to be accepted. Would have initially said that's too much but seeing what the other right wingers are going for it's probably about right. Just a bit shite it turned into a saga. If you boys get Wissa, Brentford are fucked.

Newcastle wanted him first mate, and Eddie Howe is a great judge of character.

Remember when Shearer kicked a player in the head when he was defenceless on the ground?

That was for Mike's eyes only. He'll not be able to resist.

You've signed one player Mike and it's an overpay on a Man United reject. We've signed two players and there's 7 weeks left to get more. Settle yourself sweetcheeks.

Maybe it means when there was a scrap after the Ipswich game, i.e. not a red card? Matheus Cunha - Career stats | Transfermarkt https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matheus-cunha/leistungsdaten/spieler/517894

Cunha has been sent off once in his career.

Good.

Got half a second in mate and turned it off. I'm not giving Goldbridge any engagement.

Bayern seemed to be linked more with Rashford than Garnacho. I don't think Garnacho and Bayern would be a good fit at all.

Must not have had long left on his contract. Just noticed the fee was €2 million. That could be one of the bargains of the century.

You're pretty much forced to when that sort of bid comes in for a 30 year old aren't you? It was a difficult one that's for sure.

Seemed like lazy links when it was clear we were going to have to sell some players. He won't go. He had bulked up a lot last season when he was out injured but seems to have shed quite a bit of the weight over the break. He'll get plenty of gametime I think. A lot of the players have come back looking very lean.

Someone will buy him, and he's a good player who will only get better. If they can keep him and his brother off his phone then they're on to a winner. The rest of the bomb squad I don't really give a shit about and just want them gone. But we have to get a good fee for Garnacho.

We have money there for Mbeumo and can't get that over the line for the sake of a few million. What makes you lads think we'd do any better with an extra £100m? Bruno is the heartbeat of everything we do and one of the best players in the world. I'm glad he didn't want to go. He has the best attitude of any of the players and I personally think we need him for the rebuild. Garnacho had better numbers than Gittens, Madueke etc. last season so I stand by my valuation of him, but that was obviously before all this bomb squad nonsense. He'll have a hefty sell on clause either way. I'd happily take £40m now with 20% of any future sale.

Contract expired and went to Greece. Feels like his hype train came and passed in the space of a week.

If Ekitike is £86m and Elanga/Kudus/Madueke are £55m, Isak is £150m.

Amad won't be a #10. His best performances for us have come as a RWB and I'm 99% sure that's where Amorim wants him to play. Mbeumo and Cunha will be the #10's if Mbeumo eventually signs. Zirkzee is a really good backup in that position. Can you rely on Mount given his injury record at us? Garnacho's Man United career is over. He's not part of this team anymore. I'm also very unconvinced with Obi and would think he's more likely to go out on loan as he looks extremely raw. I think we need a more experienced striker to provide something different to Hojlund, like scoring goals.

Yeah. Slipping through our fingers after 400+ appearances.

Bayern bidding £58m for Diaz. Don't they know Rashford is available for £40m?!

You think there's a lot of youth players that we let slip through our fingers who go on to play for top clubs? I don't think that's true at all. Given that we've had an academy graduate in every matchday squad for the last 86 years, I think we give youth a chance. In fact, given the amount of youth we produce, I think we have an extremely good record in regards to letting them go. I'm hoping some of the overpaid dross will be in gone by August. Woodward/Murtough really did a number on us with some of those decisions.

Oyedele (spent years in our academy but never made a senior appearance) moving to Strasbourg from Legia Warsaw for €6m. 40% sell on clause. Is that €6m lost or €2.4m gained?

Chelsea seem to be making the most noise with Garnacho. He's turned down a move to Saudi as well as he wants to stay in England. We could have got a fortune there. Top 5 is extremely ambitious after finished 15th last season. I think top 8 and decent cup runs would satisfy most fans.

Fair enough. Don't look back in anger I say. You can't win them all. Plus you got some real good minutes out of Muto.

Expecting Garnacho to be sold for a decent price. Expecting Rashford to go on loan to Barca. Expecting Antony to go on loan again as Betis can't afford his fee. Expecting to sell Sancho for peanuts, like £10m and then end up having to pay him half of that to pay off the rest of his contract. I reckon we'll get Mbeumo done and then someone like DCL in a panic when we fail to get a striker to support Hojlund.
