Open thread on a NUFC forum about realistic transfers, see argument ensuing about how much a MUFC player earns. 🤷‍♂️ As if a whole thread dedicated to them wasn’t enough.

 

 

 

Was trying to get my head around that, I even went back to check if I clicked the wrong thread.  Can we keep this shite to the Man U thread 😉

Just hypothetically, if Man Utd don't make the CL and if they end up signing Delap and if they're willing to take PSR break-even money and if he isn't on an absolute fortune...

 

....you can tell where I'm going with this...

 

 

...Hojlund?

His first touch looks absolutely terrible, Delap looks a better player technically, and Delap doesn't look like ever being world class. With good coaching could be a very useful striker...either way, considering we need a right winger, an incisive attacking midfielder, at least 1 center back, I'd hope we sign either a RW or attacking mid who can play striker, like Mbuemo. Ideally we'd want a couple youngsters good enough to improve the bench in midfield and either forward or defence. We need a lot to maintain top 4/5 while also playing in Europe. Wonder if we could get away with a 150mil net spend...or if Mitchell can pick up a couple of positions for 30-40 instead of 50-60. Always wondered why we havent heard much of hiring new scouts to have a constant presence all over Europe and occasionally in South America

Would definitely take Mainoo for a sensible fee. Doesn’t get into the starting three at the moment, but has physical attributes Eddie would love, so a year or so of being re-taught how to play football, and he’d be grand.

 

Hard no to Fernandes. 
 

Think Diallo’s price would reflect the fact he’s somewhat overrated, but considering the absolute fume it would cause on Wearside, it could possibly be worth the overpay.

I’d agree with Mainoo, always been impressed whenever I’ve seen him play.

Ain't no way a player that cost £64-75m is on anything less than £100k a week, especially for a club like man utf. I don't care even if Højlund posts a screenshot of his taxes or pay slip that contradicts it.

 

He was that price because he was young. You're paying for potential. Doesn't mean he gets mega wage. 

 

Mudryk was £89m wasn't he and widely reported to be on £100k a week. And he was older than Hojlund.

Then stop talking about us and our players.
