BBC reporting that neither us or arsenal will agree to the sanchez transfer unless miki goes the other way.
No idea how much truth is in this, especially given how Ed02's previously stated that transfers involving money and an additional player are generally unlikely.
Imo if that's what's needes to get sanchez in I'd be more than happy, but it doesn't fill me with confidence for this transfer to happen.
1.) 16 Jan 2018 13:11:00
I can’t see it. I think miki will turn them down and it will go tits up.
2.) 16 Jan 2018 13:27:12
That's what in thinking. But then again, he must know now that he's not really wanted, so a move is going to be needed to reignite his career.
3.) 16 Jan 2018 13:28:18
Looks like it's other agents trying to scupper the Sanchez deal. If he comes brilliant . But let's not spend all January chasing a lost cause.
4.) 16 Jan 2018 17:15:59
It's being reported now it would be a straight player swap.
5.) 16 Jan 2018 17:51:52
Mhiki’s agent now stepping into the deal.
Enough said.
6.) 18 Jan 2018 13:22:23
Wenger saying deal is likely.
11 Jan 2018 12:53:59
Apparently we have put in a bid for Sanchez.
Made my day hearing that.

Ethan Wheatley: "Bruno pulled me to the side and told me I’ve got nine minutes to try get you a goal. "
You can keep your hate. This man's my captain. He cares more, and shows passion, and has a greater determination to win than any player we've had in a long, long time. And he's banging in goals and staking up assists.
1.) 25 Apr 2024 06:28:22
He does have leadership qualities, people would be blind to deny that.
Unfortunately the play acting and petulance overshadow how good he is. Although he’s back in form recently, and nobody on here can take his numbers away from him.
For me he’s our best player, somebody who would thrive under Pep, and we should be looking to keep him.
2.) 25 Apr 2024 08:25:10
The argument is that in a better-performing team those negative traits are less prevalent so his antics are really a by-product of the current state of affairs. Last season we called them passionate and defending the club, this season they're adding fuel to the fire.
3.) 25 Apr 2024 08:32:36
Leaders don’t lead when lying screaming on the floor whilst the opposition storm forward. Lead from the front is an old saying yet where has he been? Why did Hojland have to stand on his own after scoring a high pressure pen last week, where was the leader then?
Bruno runs a lot, but doesn’t appear to be in any structure, does what he wants, freedom with responsibility. Sets an example for energy but not one to go into a battle with, not a leader for me,
4.) 25 Apr 2024 08:51:38
Doesn't appear to be in any structure? Does what he wants. Whose fault is that I wonder?
5.) 25 Apr 2024 09:08:39
Yes Keefy but I wasn’t starting that argument on this thread!
Hope you enjoyed being there live, I did. Will post on that
Bruno gets plaudits but is not disciplined, runs an awful lot mind you. Warming up his shooting was good, scoring with similar shots to what he did in the match.
6.) 25 Apr 2024 09:48:38
Problem is Redman, and I agree with you as I posted about it, had he run up and celebrated with Hojlund after the Penalty, fans would be saying it's embarrassing and he needed to show class towards Coventry like Maguire, he didn't and now people (You ;) ) are questioning his leadership. Now he could have achieved both but then you could argue why didn't Maguire go to Hojlund.
Fernandes is a target for the fan base because of his antics but he's the one player who is always available, the one player who will stand in front of the camera after a game, he was on 1 leg playing CB v Liverpool which no one mentions. The lads stats are, outstanding in what people are saying is an unstructured team, more G/ A this season than Odergaard and De Bruyne will lesser players around him. I'd be fairly confident fans would take Guimaraes, Saka, Maddison, Jota, Salah in this team yet they are all guilty of these traits Fernandes shows.
Traits that we don't like is common in the game, a reason enjoying football becomes harder and harder each season along with VAR but I think we need to, not look past it but praise what he does as much as we criticise what he does. I have a list as long as my arm on players I personally want out of the club this summer and Fernandes is not on it or would be right at the bottom of the list if he was.
7.) 25 Apr 2024 11:09:27
Ports spot on. Yes his moaning and play acting at times is unnecessary but he clearly cares and tries every game. If all other players in the team had half his work ethic Utd would be playing much better and not losing so much. Also as pointed out as there is no clear playing structure he often feels compelled to run all over the pitch to cover for where other players should be.
8.) 25 Apr 2024 11:32:03
Can't be critical of him last night or indeed for effort practically every week.
9.) 25 Apr 2024 12:11:14
Agree, can’t criticise his effort and at the game you can see his running even more but it needs to be channeled, he needs coaching to be in the places where he can do most damage and not lose structural integrity of our set up. Looks like as Captain he is trying to be seen to do the most, his running stats must be ahead of everyone.
I just don’t understand why we blabbed £60m on Mount who plays in the same position and is injured a lot.
10.) 25 Apr 2024 12:32:28
Yeah Redman, if we'd spent that £60m on either a mediocre left back and mediocre center back, or a decent DM, I think we'd have a good chance at having made CL places this season.
11.) 25 Apr 2024 13:14:06
Yes Redman. Enjoyed being there. Stretford end seats. Going back for Burnley game.
12.) 25 Apr 2024 17:31:09
Sorry to hear about your mum, Keefy.
13.) 25 Apr 2024 18:13:42
Kids got more than 9 minutes to get a goal, he has his whole future to score goals. Just Bruno being a egotistical tit as usual.
14.) 25 Apr 2024 21:03:36
What a ridiculous comment Nev. It won't be long until Mainoo starts to get taken down like everyone at our club does on this site.
15.) 25 Apr 2024 22:02:38
So apparently, Bruno broke his hand playing against Coventry, but still insisted on playing yesterday. You've got to admit that's at least a little captain like.
16.) 25 Apr 2024 22:27:46
No doubt he loves UTD, he's excellent with the younger players, a real mentor. Its a shame he has the love that say Keane or any of the old guard but the grit and guile of a 4 year old whos ball has been taken.
17.) 26 Apr 2024 08:06:15
Thanks Noucamp!
18 Aug 2022 12:11:55
Midfield of Casemiro, FDJ and Bruno would be epic.
I don't buy that our squad is as bad as people think, I belive the issue is that the players don't complement each others skill sets.
Those 2 mfs would lift us by miles and be the difference between competing for top 4 or mid table obscurity. I know we could do with a rb, cb, widen forward and striker, but I think those two alone would be game changers.
That said, one is a pipe dream and the other at the end of his career, but if we could get both I'd take them in a heartbeat.
1.) 18 Aug 2022 12:31:14
And who is going to score the goals? Just a small matter of putting the ball in the back of the net.
Last 4 matches including the last 2 preseason matches, we've scored 2 goals and one was an own goal.
If you believe we can compete or be near top four with our defence and attack, then I think you're going to be disappointed. There's also the matter of DDG, but that's another story!
2.) 18 Aug 2022 12:36:13
I think the casemero links are as a replacement for de jong and he will most likely play along Fred if we get him
Both start for Brazil so have that link there.
3.) 18 Aug 2022 13:10:35
Agree bolger, but a man can dream.
AAA, I agree to some extent, ut I think the manager needs to work out a way to play with the players he has.
This team, even with those players, won't be able to play as a well oiled pressing machine, and we won't be able to have quite so high a back line, but if we keep the disgruntled goat, we have enough up front to get by, and our defence isn't that bad, it just can't play the high line and our keeper most definitely can't sweep. But ETH needs to cut his cloth accordingly and make this team work.
4.) 18 Aug 2022 13:15:49
RedD, I love the enthusiasm but we will still have the mentally weak core group of players who’ve downed tools and crumbled under pressure. Varane and Ronaldo have been added to the squad and we’re still crap. Ten Hag needs 3 windows to get this squad sorted. Clearing out the rubbish is the most important part of this rebuild.
While we’ve got the likes of Shaw, Maguire and Rashford, we won’t be competing for CL spots in my opinion.
5.) 18 Aug 2022 13:37:10
I completely disagree 2toms.
Shaw was being touted as the best left back in England at one point. Rashford was ripping it up for a while, slab head isn't a bad central defender. Those guys are shot of confidence and being asked to play roles in a system that they aren't good enough for, they can still be good players, just not doing what's asked of them.
We can't just buy 11 new players, so with a few additions the manager needs to find a way to make it work. It will not necessarily be the system he ideally wants, but some kind of hybrid system that these players can work with. That's his job, that's what he's paid for!
Then over the years he can move on more players and bring in those that allow him to transform the team into exactly what he wants.
6.) 18 Aug 2022 14:09:37
Maguire’s awful. Touting Shaw as Englands best left back means nothing when he puts in poor performances for us. Rashford ambles around the pitch completely disinterested most games. They have had countless opportunities to prove their doubters wrong. How can you say they are being asked to play in a system that doesn’t suit them? Maguire is being asked to defend and he’s been crap at it. Rashford to create and score goals, he struggles to do that.
They are being asked to represent Manchester United, and they struggle to do that. Lack of confidence or not, they have failed to make the grade and need to be replaced with better players. Obviously not in one window, but over 2-3 windows.
7.) 18 Aug 2022 14:33:04
RedD
If we don’t score goals, we won’t win games and that win see us bottom half flirting with danger. We need a striker.
8.) 18 Aug 2022 17:46:47
Striker is the most important Incoming. We simply don't score enough goals. 50 odd goals last year and 18 came from Ronaldo. That's relegation standard.
9.) 18 Aug 2022 20:49:12
AAA far better year before without Ronaldo . Far better this pre season without Ronaldo.
It’s obvious, get rid and watch others relax and enjoy their football.
10.) 18 Aug 2022 22:31:55
Maguire is awful. Period! If you want a coin tosser, someone to walk around waving his arms or looking totally confused for 90 minutes then he is your man.
If you want a leader who will tear slack players a new a**e and bleed for the club then he may as well sit at home and be just as effective. How is he getting a game? Must have pictures of people in compromising poses.
Get him off the park and get a people leader in the middle of the pitch and that alone will make a difference.
Nobody is accountable in this team other than the manager and that is totally wrong.
Bloody soft c**ks make me spew!
11.) 18 Aug 2022 23:21:23
Who should be captain, DDG, Varane/ Casimrio/ Ronaldo, Eriksen.
19 Apr 2022 19:16:03
Flying to Spain so will be in the air for the entire of the match. Might be a good thing. Scared to check the results once we land.
Just seen that Jones is starting though, fingers crossed we get a 0-1 win with a Jones diving header!
11 Sep 2021 18:08:51
Imagine how the players must feel to have him back, especially with everything he brings to the locker room. Leadership, brilliant skill, hard working, amazing dancer… even CR7 must be excited to have Lingardinho back
Credit to some dude in reddit.
1.) 11 Sep 2021 19:39:06
Lingard should be starting ahead of Sancho at the moment.
Before we all get over-excited, the teams we have faced so far are all in the lower half of the table. After Young Boys then the season really begins with the West Ham double header.
2.) 11 Sep 2021 21:36:02
West Ham won't have their best player on the pitch Antonio and I see a script of JLingz scoring against them.
06 Aug 2021 21:10:51
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope city get Messi. I know they'll be incredibly strong, and it will be Terri le for us, but I just want to see Messi in the Premier league.
1.) 06 Aug 2021 23:22:00
I bet they’re kicking themselves that they sealed the deal for Grealish as quickly as they did now. One more day of negotiations and they’d have likely signed Messi instead!
Like you, I’d also love to see Messi play in the Premier League, but, sadly, he looks set to sign for the runners up of the farmer’s league instead. If we were dealing with the Roman Abromavich of a few years ago I’d be expecting Chelsea to offer a contract as well and am a little surprised that we haven’t given our history of signing big name players at the end of their careers.
As things stand though, I can only see PSG and Inter making contract offers and his friendship with Neymar and the allure of an easy league will probably be enough to tip the scales in PSG’s favor.
2.) 07 Aug 2021 10:08:56
I assume Pep would have known for sure whether Messi would be available as they are good friends. But surely he would still have persevered with potentially 5-6 seasons with Grealish over 2 with Messi. It would have been incredible to see though and a shame that we probably never will.
23 May 2021 21:42:58
Danny Ings? What have we become.
30 Apr 2021 13:20:30
Seen that too, and apparently from a reliable source.
Would be great for us if he does stay. Means we can focus on other positions this window and worry about a cf next year if the problem hasn't taken care of itself via greenwood or rashford.
21 Apr 2021 07:56:34
First to leave? We were the leaders! We never left! It fell apart around us.
But I don't suddenly have more respect Chelsea and City, they were happy enough to go along with it, they didn't take the high road here, they just bottled it.
20 Jan 2021 19:16:34
Surprised that romero couldn't be a starter for a Premier league club. I think he's done well for us and clubs could do a lot worse.
07 Oct 2020 20:45:22
I really don't understand the profiteering thing.
I assume it means that the club can't extend the contract by the additional year just so they can sell the player and make a profit.
But if we did extend it and an offer came it, I assume we could still accept it.
Ed02, can you explain the concept in a bit more detail or perhaps point to another source worth reading?
{Ed002's Note - The concept is that you cannot extend to make money but if the player is sold the profit, or a negotiated profit, would go to him.}

Casemiro is one of the best dms in the world. We'd get prob 2 good years out of him.
You can have 2 good years of the best dm on the planet, or Mcfred. I know what I'd choose.
