Yorkie Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Just now, SteV said: We’re only 2 points ahead of them like. I know they appear to be a shambles at the minute, but we had all this with Spurs last season. ‘Why would anyone (Madison) go there instead of us?’ But as we’ve seen it just takes a good managerial appointment, or a couple of decent signings and things turn around very quickly. Not to mention the fact that they’ll, yet again, probably spend £150m in the transfer window, and at some point they’ll stop making a pigs ear of what they spend. We're only two points ahead of them because they've got the muscle to be in the mix despite being a total clown show. Honestly would find it depressing as fuck if, for the likes of Tosin, they're a more attractive destination than us this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 We'll have to wait and see - he can't sign for a couple more weeks anyway. Man U also need defenders and can probably offer more money than us. If we don't get Europe & they do, they may look a lot more appealing even if they are a bit chaotic at the moment. Plus he's from Manchester isn't he? So that could be a pro (or maybe even a negative). Speaking to us and being 'close to an agreement' could be a way of getting a better deal with others. Or hints about Man U could be a way of getting a better deal with us. This is probably going to be the most important contract of his career so I imagine he'll want to make the most of it, which is fair enough. We can offer a decent financial package, a stable coaching set up with a track record of improving players, an ambitious project and an opportunity at a starting spot. Hopefully that's enough.

Don’t dispute a word of that, but ultimately that’s why they’ll always be in with a shout of attracting almost any player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Is this all off the back of one person at Talksport? Didn’t they announce Will Still was house hunting in wearside and due to be appointed a week or two back? Hasn’t even mentioned on his own active twitter feed from what I can see Edited May 14 by PRL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 18 minutes ago, Yorkie said: It would say a lot about the general state of things. That, despite all the utter shit surrounding them, Man Utd are still a more attractive proposition than a slick, stable and upwardly mobile outfit like us. I'm not blind to their stature; of course they've got a bigger reach than us and probably always will do. But from the perspective of a young player having the choice of us or them right now, I don't think there should be any delusion in identifying us as the more attractive option. NUFC should be challenging for the CL next season, and assuming we beat them tomorrow MUFC probably won't even be in Europe. MUFC could be looking at a long time outside the top 4 places. The league has got much more competitive in the top positions. We've just about broken our way in and you have Villa knocking at the door too (let's see how their sophomore year goes). Spending money obviously helps, and they can spend a lot of it, but it's not the guarantee of success it once was. And of course their track record in this regard is awful. In short I agree with you. If as a player you are motivated by improving yourself and winning things you'll be more likely to get that with us than with Man Utd. If you'd rather take the silly wages they'll give you then I can't really argue against that either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGRM Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Maybe I'm naive but I like to believe most players want the success over the dosh and want to be the best player they can be (in the short career they have). Still earn a million in 10 weeks I'd say, if he comes to us. Hardly, working for minimum wage is it? If Tosin has his head screwed on right he will sign on the dotted line for us. I hope this happens soon as possible. If not, I think he will have regrets down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s a brave man that is certain we’ll have success (however you define that) before Man Utd do again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U is still a bigger name than Newcastle, for players who don't have local ties, there is some extra prestige in saying you're a Man U player. I'd like to think we are still getting this done, but if he's a free agent and there's one of the cartel clubs interested, then it would be daft to think it's a done deal.
