madras Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Wouldn't be my choice, don't see ay improvement on Longstaff but if Howe, Nickson and Ashworth are all in then I'll let them do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it amusing that some actually feel he would be a decent signing. All this new influx of posts due to a Man Utd Twitter page. He's nowhere near the level of player we should be looking at. And why exactly should we trust your player analysis over the man that has got us into the Champions League in a year with even lesser players?

See which one develops and I'm confident we'd be much better off as a result. He's fucking awful and would add zero to the squad, move on ffs Sounds like you'd get us relegated signing League 1 midfielders instead.

Kimbo Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I’ve seen McTominay play dozens of times and I’ve never seen anything in him. Franz Beckenbauer could come out as a big fan of his and it wouldn’t put a dent in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) If McTominay is the only signing we make in midfield, then ofcourse that's disappointing. But we can't really sign 2 £50m+ CMs.. I'd say one quality and another one for depth. I don't think McTominay would be terrible for the depth of the squad, although we could get something better for the money if we are lucky. I would say that we could've needed him the last part of the season due to Longstaffs injury. And to be honest, if other teams were linked to Longstaff for £20m, wouldn't they be also be sceptical? Longstaff doesn't look like a standout player, but the job that he does is still important and went unnoticed for a while.

If we want to be good we should probably at least start by giving the manager that has done so well the players he wants, regardless of your expert opinion.

Theregulars Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It’s all this stuff like calling him a cunt; our culture is so aggressive and binary. He’s just a football player, maybe he’d be just fine for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Rather we looked at a younger, more defensive midfielder like Lavia or Tyler Adams, and spend big on a creative player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we can spend £40-50m on one of those if we spend big on another midfielder? That's what they will demand for these players. What about the other positions then if we blow £110m on CMs? That's kind of the point.. A bit unfair to compare McTominay for £20m to £40-50m players.. (Saying £20m because most here would agree that we wouldn't want him for a higher price anyways) Edited May 25, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hmmm. Didn’t think either would go for that much. Maybe naive on my part. Both at relegated clubs (probably). Both would be really good investments IMO. Adams especially is well suited to our game. Can pass the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is fuck all actual indication that he's even interested in that player, especially when it originally came from bald cunt Edwards. A better player than our current midfield, I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying based on the reports, and they seem to be linked to other top clubs. Prices are crazy in recent years.. Chelsea had a 50m bid rejected for Lavia last summer. It's hard to find players who has performed in the PL for around 20m. Edited May 25, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufi Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'm genuinely perplexed as to why this is even a topic to discuss. I cant see us going for him. We have Longstaff who's probably a slightly poorer man's version of him. Maybe I'm missing something here. Are there people who actually want us to sign him? For what purpose?

Deuce Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It kind of beggars belief that folks acknowledge the exceptional job Howe has done to get a tune out of players who had long ago been written off, and yet are instantly writing off McTominay. And those same folks will also acknowledge that we’ve clearly been missing Longstaff the past few weeks! McTominay is a like-for-like replacement, and probably gettable on the cheap.

Amir_9 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) We should aspire to have the level of Brighton recruitment (or near about) when it comes to buying players that comply with FFP and are astute purchases if we aren't spending crazy money just yet A Man United C class player isn't one of them.. but hey what do we know.

RobsonsWonderland Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 So much hatred for a player we have not even bid for. Botman aside I can't remember us chasing and signing someone that the press knew about. Most of our transfers have been done in relatively short, quick time. And it's not like Man U are going to been keen sellers to us even if it was true... Just look at the whole Jessie Lingard situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still being linked with McTominay, but it's impossible to know if we're after him. 1 hour ago, Viana said: Because it’s like winning the lottery and buying a car off gumtree. I don't think anyone would be impressed if that was our only CM signing. It would have to be alongside a bigger signing. We won the lottery and bought Dan Burn for £13 mill. Great signing that one. He will still help us next season. Rotation will be important, and we can't spend enough to be rotating between world beaters yet. And by the way: Lets not forget that he has 143 appearances for Manchester United at 26 years of age. He has the experience of playing under high pressure.
