Froggy Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 6 minutes ago, Lush Vlad said: Nah. I know it’s all rumours and BS so it works both ways. But articles have been saying he is on £80-90k a week, haven’t they? Reports that he wanted mega money and it was one of the things that put Arsenal off. He will be moving for top dollar and a double your money type deal at least, you would have thought?! I’m not saying that is all it is. As you’re historically one of the biggest clubs in the world. As much as it pains me to say it, as I despise you cunts and Chemical Jim. But it still doesn’t change the fact that it is laughable to suggest that we’d be offering a more lucrative package than Man U It’s why I think we’re fucked the minute one of the Sky 6 come in for the same player. Wages, fees, bonuses, status, success…… a functioning transfer team these all work against us. A functioning transfer team is new for us too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor transfer management. Chasing De Jong all summer then panicking and buying Casemiro for the price we did. Ten Hag saying he wants Antony and he was available for half the price we paid. We fuck about all summer and end up paying £80m. Things like that don't help at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fuck about all summer and end up paying £80m. Things like that don't help at all. Reason I ask is because, for me, from an outsider looking in, Man United have signed good, capable players for decent sums and given them decent wages but have had an underpinning attitude issue that rather than being flushed out has been exacerbated and taken advantage of. Which isn't so much a transfer issue but a management issue from the very top down. I think Ten Hag went some way to eradicating that personally and so has Amorim, and actually think you'll have a better season this year finishing in and around 4th to 10th, but just wouldn't consider Man United's transfer activity a key cause for their downfall. As for Newcastle, I think we've done very little wrong since the Saudi's came in at a playing level, coaching level or even on transfers but where we seemingly have had issues is behind the scenes at senior levels as a structure is attempted to be implemented and big personalities obviously haven't fit the mould or seen eye to eye. FFP also seems to have us handcuffed somewhat though by comparison owing to recent history. Edited August 6, 2025 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford aye, what I mean is after 2 seasons we could (hopefully) move him on and recoup some of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 What is the delay ?
