*2 years He was excellent in 22/23

Aye, he’s in behind Gordon or Barnes, although he could fill their role if need be.

Which would indicate you probably don’t really want to sell, but need to fund the Asensio deal?

£40m-ish is the going rate for a young English player established in the PL. We got 15m for Longstaff in the last years of his contract. So that values him at around £25-30m. Ramsey is clearly an upgrade, so the price mirrors that.

Get this conspiracy in the mainstream.

“anything woke” FFS

Is that actually true though? How do we know? We could be negotiating for 2, 3 or 4 players behind the scenes, but they’re not necessarily coming to fruition.

Will require world class money

The way they’ve rated Simeone is absolutely scandalous 😂

Tbf if what @LFEE says is correct he didn’t have any choice.

Going there with Ederson though, you’re probably looking at him having had a few injuries, only got one year on his contract etc. Fairly easy to think you’ll just sit tight for a bit then get your chance. Not too dissimilar to coming here with Pope really. However, they go out and sign arguably one of the best keepers in the world coming into his prime, that’s completely different.

Agreed. Seems an awful lot of noise for there not to something in it mind.

If this ends up happening what an absolute clusterfuck of a decision Trafford has made.

I genuinely wonder who people think brought in all the players that have got us where we are?

Nah, I reckon we’ve still got at least 4 places available (including Thiaw). Hall, Miley and Seung-Soo won’t take up a place.

Definitely Joelinton/Willock in our system. But like with those two, the option to play further forward if need be.

Lot of motorcyclists amongst them

Releasing this through the media is clearly designed to ramp up a vicious backlash from the fanbase, therefore making it ‘impossible’ for him to stay and forcing the club into selling. It’s the most obvious tactical move you’ve ever seen.

You mean Percy? Edwards retweeted it FWIW

Strong first impressions on his character - gave the lad that took his bags up to his hotel room a £20 tip last night.

It’s better than playing Targett or Ashby in midfield.

Ha, wasn’t you, it was @PauloGeordio. Think I’m just developing a fetish for tagging you.
