Any update on Mbeumo? Feels like this one is slipping away, especially from the Frank/ Spurs change. Hopefully jut more patience required :D.
13 Jun 2025 13:35:42
News out now that Mbuemo is interested in moving to spurs instead. Offering champions league football and his old boss.
Looks likely we may need to go to plan b, whatever that is. Not seen many links with similar players.
13 Jun 2025 14:03:07
All negotiating tactics: Brentford hustling United for more money.
13 Jun 2025 14:10:41
Fingers crossed - I was pretty excited by the prospect of Mbeumo in this team.
Semenyo seems to be linked a fair bit too.
13 Jun 2025 14:43:09
I don’t think it’s hustling. I suspect that we were offering him higher wages, and that’s why he was interested in coming here. But with Frank at Spurs, and Son likely off to Saudi, Spurs can offer him something similar. With the player open to both offers, Brentford are obviously going to want a bidding war.
When Mbeumo said we were his preferred destination, it was obvious that money was the deciding factor.
13 Jun 2025 16:17:26
Semenyo has been mentioned in the past. But it would take huge amounts of money to get him out of Bournemouth apparently. Far more than Mbeumo.
It could be tactics from the agent or club, hope he still joins but not if it means paying way over the odds in transfer fee or wages.
13 Jun 2025 16:37:08
If (a big if IMO) Mbuemo goes to Spurs, then we should 100% get Bruno to play the R10 role with Amad overlapping him as RWB and spend the £60m on a box-to-box midfielder instead.
13 Jun 2025 16:37:29
If a player doesn't want to come so be it. If wages are the players primary concern then I don't want that player at Utd.
I get that in this case the player may prefer to play with a coach he knows in the champions league and stay settled in London. All valid concerns.
Just let's hope it's sorted soon.
13 Jun 2025 17:28:36
Let’s wait and see. I hope he signs, but if he’d rather play for Spurs, maybe it’s for the best we move on to other targets.
It’ll be a little disappointing if it doesn’t happen, though. In the space of a few days we’ll have gone from Cunha, Gyokores, and Mbuemo to just Cunha. I quite liked the idea of having a front three that could bang in 100 goals a season.
13 Jun 2025 17:35:09
We all know we will start the season with Cunha, Amad and Rasmus up top. And then wonder why we can’t score goals. LOL
I hope they can get the signings in early, but with United they often leave it until later in the window.
13 Jun 2025 21:32:29
Hopefully we’re not going to be handicapped by not being able to get players out the door but I assume that’s the holdup.
13 Jun 2025 23:08:14
He'll be at united soon enough, most of it is desperate paper talk. levy ain't signing a player over 60m on 200k plus a week. He rejected arsenal and made it clear he like cunha wants utd.
14 Jun 2025 00:20:41
Isn’t there a transfer embargo atm?
14 Jun 2025 03:57:52
Deals can still be agreed so not sure what difference that makes about the window being closed.
14 Jun 2025 15:45:59
The announcement?
16 Jun 2025 01:49:33
If we can't get Mbeumo, Eze has to be the next in line?
16 Jun 2025 08:49:29
Would love to see Eze. Makes you wonder which Prem clubs in a better situation than us could be interested as City and Liverpool already have shiny new players in that position.
17 Jun 2025 07:57:59
Whilst I would have loved Mbeumo I can’t help think that Bruno would become a liability playing in a midfield two.
Bruno now that he’s staying will have to start. But he isn’t a natural fit in that deeper role. He’s going to leave Mainoo/ ugarte/ new signing ridiculously exposed.
So leave him as a 10 and sign the best midfielder we can afford.
Amad, mainoo, zirkzee can all fill in to give Cunha and Bruno a rest and there’s always Lacey and Ibragimovic to break through too.
