We loved him too though. I think it's attitude that is most important when it comes to affection. We knew he wasn't good enough, but he scored that goal against Atletico and we were willing him on as he was such a good lad. We loved Donny van de Beek as well. Still shit though.

I try and stay out of this to be honest as people get so riled up about it. He looked promising under Rangnick, who was carrying on the counter-attacking style from Ole. There was a point where he was seen as valuable and was going to an important player in the future. The following season under Ten Hag though he was absolutely awful, like beyond bad. We knew he was going to be sold that summer, and when we were talking about realistic values, we thought he was worth about £5m. We were absolutely buzzing to get £15m for him. He has elite pace, and can be deadly on counter attacks, but he's really not great otherwise. You're not a counter-attacking side, so I can't believe the fees being quoted for him to be honest. Howe obviously sees his physical qualities and believes he can mould him into a great player, and who am I to argue with Eddie Howe? He always had a good attitude as well and works very hard which are rare qualities these days. Bottom line though is that you're one of the teams we'll be looking to compete with this year, and if your biggest signing is going to be Elanga then I wouldn't be very worried at all about you putting distance between us and I reckon we'll close the gap, as Cunha and Mbeumo are far better players IMO. We'd be quite happy for you to sign him for a fortune so we can get the money from the sell-on as well. I'm sure this will be quoted in 6 months when we're shit again and you're flying with Elanga sitting on 10 goals, but that's my genuine thoughts.

People are also forgetting we've a large sell-on clause, likely to be 20% of the profit. Forest are going to factor that in. Even they sell for £60m, we get £9m of it.

The Newcastle pull.

Aye maybe so. Feels like Palmer runs Chelsea though. Everything goes through him. Bear in mind this is voted for by the players.

Aye 8 assists. Second most big chances created after Salah.

Tailed off a bit but he did still score 15 goals and I'm sure he got plenty of assists.

Fernandes, Isak, Palmer, Rice, Mac Allister and Salah for PFA Player of the Year.

Very surprised Leeds aren't category A to be honest. Would have put Spurs and Newcastle in B. They've just fired Wolves and Sunderland into Cat C to justify the tier. Two teams out of nineteen are Cat C. 50% increase on most ticket prices as well.

The new category ticketing system in play now for us. CAT A: Arsenal City Liverpool Chelsea Newcastle Spurs CAT B: Burnley Brighton Everton West Ham Bournemouth Fulham Palace Villa Leeds Brentford Forest CAT C: Wolves Sunderland Anything stand out to anyone? Hungry cunts.

That's Record Portugal for you.

Newcastle sell out their ground though. City give tickets away for free at student parties.

You're welcome.

Going to be scenes when we finish above you next season.

I take offence to the third one.

Firstly, a shit load of players will have supported us. We're the best supported club in the world, which is another reason why players would want to come. Exposure. Brand deals etc. Like you also say, history, 75,000 fans every week and the potential of the club. Being part of the team that gets the club back to the top. You would be immortalised. All fairly valid reasons to go to a club over others I think?

It's simply not true. But a lot of players will choose the Champions League football over anything. And if they do, like I said, best of luck to them. We need players who want to play for us.

Depends on the extremes to be fair. Thinking any player would pick Man United over anywhere else is stupid. Thinking Man United have no pull is also stupid.

Have you seen a fan actually saying it with a straight face though? Nobody is saying this stuff except lads on twitter and then other fanbases try their best to jump on it. Of course Man United have pull, but it's obviously combined with very nice wages. Not as high as opposition fans like to think, but high nonetheless.

So you all keep desperately trying to tell yourselves.

I know who the source is, it's Record Portugal. They're actually a banned source on Man United subreddits for talking utter shite. Fun88 are the ones responsible for trying to spread it over here.

We don't know that he is. Even the Sky Sports journalist that gave the "exclusive" said in the very same article that his preference is still us. Likewise, Romano confirmed this morning that we're still very much in for Gyokeres. Not sure whether to believe him or Fun88, sponsors of Newcastle and Spurs. Either way, if they don't want to come that's also fine. I wish them the best.

He would need to, because they'll offer the same money as us and they have CL football. Can't deny that glorious Man United pull if he still chooses us.

Rio is such a whopper man. And he's fucking everywhere.

Is the Sky Sports "exclusive" why people are going crazy over Mbeumo to Spurs?
