Nucasol Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 18 minutes ago, Froggy said: Sounds great in theory, but without the reinforcements we fall behind our rivals, almost certainly fail to qualify for the CL and in turn lose a lot of money causing FFP issues next year too. You have to keep the pace. Looks like Onana will be done for £46m including add-ons, Mount will be £55m. His add ons won't be triggered as they require us to win the league twice. Leaves either zero or £14m for a striker based on differing reports. You would think after shifting Henderson (£20m), Williams (£5m), Elanga (£5m), Bailly (£2m), Telles (£2m) and Van de Beek (£10m) there's enough money there for a striker, which looks like it'll be Hojlund. Think you’ll get fuck all for Williams but more for Elanga. Van de Beek is a busted flush too. Similar to us you might be having to loan him out for the next few seasons or waive on a free due to wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always suckers with way too much money for Man United's cast offs. Now they're a bit strapped that option isn't so clear, I imagine.

Decky Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 No testimonial or goodbye at Old Trafford after 12 years. He'll probably be heading to Saudi, only place where he will get his Man Utd wages matched or bettered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Man U are a dirty club. I've only seen a handful of Onana games, but he didn't seem that much better with the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
