  1. This is why I’m more excited for De Ligt over Yoro, United is his only priority and no other club. Even rejecting PSG and Liverpool.

    Feel like missing out on Kim min-jae to Bayern last year, and then signing their best defender (according to a lot of their fans) who is 3 years younger for a similar transfer fee is a pretty good outcome. 

  3. Are all these players we are allegedly after (DeLigt, Ugarte, Zirkzee, etc…) the ones we are getting as result of the new management putting the shift (Wilcox, Ashcroft, etc…), or is it still 10Hag calling the shots?

    I think this is his agent pushing it, ornstein said it’s not that advance

  5. I really didn’t think he wants to join us so bad, even for ETH. Happy of course, but imagine how our pull would’ve been affected if we didn’t win the FA cup and qualified for Europe. It was such an important game if you think about it, more than just a trophy.

    It initiated a sense of trust for ETH given by the board, which means a sense of clarity for players, fans and players wanting to join. And on top of it all: In one of our worst seasons since SAF AND against City. Just great

    Twitter profile says Sky Reporter and Bayern News. So this is considered Tier 1 right?

    This is a turning point in our influence to pull players away from other big clubs.

  8. I am more interested in his wages. He’s on Glazer era wages even before moving. 260k/week

  9. Once this is wrapped up, imo, we make a 3rd bid for JB with only a small increase (around 5 million) and really ask the question – are you prepared to lose the bird in hand in hopes of 2 in the bush?

    Not hating, just curious, why was de Ligt on the bench for both Bayern and Netherlands recently?

  11. Man…he’s as injury prone as Varane…

    I’m… kind of afraid of these first deal.

  12. I remember when muppets were allowed on here. Wasn’t it this saga which ended all of that? Time is a circle and all that schbang
