Really glad they didn't get £100 million for Bruno.

 

Think it would have benefitted their rebuild massively.

Knowing our luck the crazy fucks will not give up and offer even more money!

 

Still think and froggy will know better than me players being released under the older bigger contracts and players who the manager know don't fit the system or he doesn't want to sell and replenish the coffers.

Has mentioned about how the cuts are brutal but otherwise has had no reason to call INEOS out so far. He's apparently quite close with upper management and is fully backed for the rebuild. 

 

Thanks. It wasn't a loaded question. 

 

I think he did say that it wasn't ideal to be appointed when he was. Which was surely true and I suppose as much as you could say, a bit like Howe appearing to be unhappy with the changes last summer, but also stopping short of saying that as well.

 

At least, how that was reported on with both of those things, so pinch of salt and all that.

 

Just wondered how much say you think he has, because I've no idea how it works behind the scenes with the current set up.

So if Bruno F stays, what's the set up of that front three?

 

                Cunha

 

Bruno F              Mbeumo

 

Something like that? Or does Bruno F drop into one of the CM roles with Cunha on the left and a specialist CF?

 

Bruno dropping into CM I would say. That's normally a problem as there was nobody else really creating in the #10 roles, but Cunha and Mbeumo would fix that. 

 

We're definitely after a striker as well. There's been a lot of noise about making a move for Gyokeres but it's dependant on sales and Arsenal are also interested. 

 

The Garnacho sale is huge. If big money comes in for him it's a huge PSR boon

 

Team at the minute is likely:

 

Onana

Mazraoui

De Ligt 

Yoro

Amad

Fernandes

Ugarte

Dorgu

Cunha

Mount (Mbeumo instead if it happens) 

Hojlund

 

ST next priority. Hojlund out on loan to Inter with an obligation to buy and Zirkzee to stay as a #9/#10 rotation option.

I'd say Wilcox and Berrada find the players and Amorim signs them off. Ratcliffe already said Amorim has his say with signings. 

 

Mind you, I don't think it's any coincidence that Mbeumo and Cunha are versatile players capable of playing in any system though. 

 

If it doesn't work out for Amorim, those two can play in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-5-1 etc. They're smart buys.

Schar was always class. That waste of air Bruce not seeing it doesn’t change that. Shelvey was a lazy twat who Eddie binned first real opportunity be had to do so.

Quite right on Schar but he went from an eye on the exit door to playing out of his skin in a matter of weeks. Yes Eddie binned Shelvey but he got a decent tune out of him whilst he was here. With that away game at Leeds being a key early victory.

Think he turned them down as his family wasn't keen, so they won't keep trying.

Fair point about the versatility. I think they're both excellent players and can't deny I'd have been happy with either plus both could fit into a lot of systems.

 

Last one, before I get back to fretting about my own team, honestly how long do you reckon Amorim gets next season if things don't improve a lot?

What's a lot to you? If we keep the same league form last this season, then he's gone by October.

Was kind of thinking you'd need to be loitering around the top 8 or so by then. Long summer ahead as well so maybe too early to say.

 

Don't know what your thoughts are or whether that'll be enough.  Edit, as a minimum or whether that's a fast enough improvement, no idea what the expectations are.

Top 8 is definitely enough. Just need to see improvement now. 

 

We're an easy fanbase to keep on your side. :lol: Just don't lose every other game.

Wow. PSR just doesn't apply to Man United. 

 

I see Man Utd fans are having a melt down because they're being called out for throwing over the top salaries at players like they have consistently done over the last decade, which has led to them being saddled with players they can't shift.

 

Can't even be honest about the way their club operates, and just own it.

 

There's a reason Rashford, Sancho and Antony will soon be back at the club, and hopefully you get stuck with the lot of them.

 

It's also why Mainoo has the unmitigated gall to be demanding £180,000 a week, because he knows the score.

 

Stop with the crying.

Patrick Dorgu has a terrible agent.

Yeah most of those are wrong, and I'm fairly sure that image is pulled from The Sun of all places.

 

This is point we're trying to make. Opposition fans are pulling stats from the most bullshit of sources and try and pass it off as fact. You've just done the same thing and reinforced the point.

 

You and many others on here (not everyone though to be fair) are suggesting that the only way Mbeumo/Cunha or any other player could possibly pick Man United over Newcastle is the wages. It's just not true though is it?

And again, like I said before, you dont have exact info about wages either.

Go and find the right ones and post them and I guarantee my point will still stand. I doubt they are that far off.

 

Honestly, this is just pathetic.

There's barely any difference :lol:

 

Honestly man, they're so insufferable.

 

They really think these huge salaries have nothing to do with why players go there.

 

It's all down to "aura", "pull" and "heritage".

 

Absolutely shameless.
