Theregulars Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Depay clearly talented, so on those grounds would be interesting to see what Howe might do with him. Don’t hold anyone accountable for not being good for Manchester United between Ferguson and Ten Hag, basket case central. I suspect it’s agent-driven though, but that’s just a personal hunch.

ExiledGeordie Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Almost certainly just fan talk but there’s quite a few talking about a deal for Maddison in Jan (at the ground, on total sport). It’s probably just because we’re getting close to Jan the rumours ramp up. Edited December 21, 2022 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Haven't seen anything re Maddison, but I saw some talk on Twitter last night that the Harrison Ashby deal is basically done. £500k for West Ham and the kid on £25k p/w. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one for the future like a lot of the other kids we've signed. £25k p/w is about right for a squad player of his age. Guessing the main incentive for him is watching Trippier. Learning from Trippier. Covering Trippier. Then eventually over the course of 2/3 seasons aiming to become the guy he hands the RB role off to. By all accounts from down south he has a lot of potential. Edited December 21, 2022 by sushimonster85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance for Ounahi as well, for that price! “Under contract until 2026, Ounahi will undoubtedly earn Angers a club-record fee and exceed the €25m received from Jeff Reine-Adelaide's sale to Lyon in 2019.” https://www.90min.com/posts/azzedine-ounahi-angers-president-reveals-terms-january-transfer/amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
