So it seems we will need to explore Plan B for both the R10 and Striker positions.
Might we make a cheeky move for either Johan Bakayoko or Roony Bardghji, and does this mean we'll be looking only at Osimhen and Mateta?
I suspect that, were it not for him being a fan, we'd not have got Cunha, so I guess we might have to be content with only the one 'Plan A' transfer coming in.
Anyone know of any other United fans at that level?

What happened to Mbuemo?
13 Jun 2025 16:14:50
He's apparently 'intrigued' by the Thomas Frank Spurs project and talks have begun between Brentford and Spurs.
Meanwhile, we've tried to negotiate a lower fee to, perhaps, compensate for the 'United Tax' being applied to his wage expectations which, by the way, probably won't apply to CL Spurs. Spurs want one of Mbeumo, Semenyo and Dibling - I think Mbeumo at £60m-ish makes more sense for them and I wouldn't blame him if he saw the Spurs project as more appealing, especially with Frank in charge.

Mbuemo will still sign for us.
But if he doesn’t, Bruno R10 and £60m on a quality CM instead, please.

Ork,
You have to be extremely gullible to believe all of that, it’s just from a journalist who provably has no idea what’s going on. Let’s just wait and see.

Maybe so, but what exactly have you heard from Mbeumo himself that is so compelling?
13 Jun 2025 22:47:55
I mentioned Bardghji the other day, Ork, when people were throwing names about.
You have to take his recovery from injury into account, but I always thought he was a very promising young player who did well against us.
Seems to have fallen off people's radars a bit.
Ed001, I know there's no talk of him coming to Utd, but what do you think of him?
{Ed001's Note - I haven't seen him play in a long time, so I couldn't really give an opinion.}

He’s been out with an acl so hasn’t played for ages. is going for a free as his contract is expiring.

Fair enough, Ed001. What did you think of him before the injury? There was a lot of hype around him at the time, but I did think he looked to have a lot of potential.
{Ed001's Note - I thought he looked promising but I only saw a very little of him.}
