A good transfer window for United (if FFP did not exist) would be:

OUT:

Evans (retired)
Onana
Bayindir
Shaw (good player but cannot stay fit as his body is as brittle as a poppadom)
Lindelof
Eriksen
Casemiro
Antony
Hojlund - loan (there might be a player in there but he is too mentally shot and needs a break away from United to sort out his life)
Zirkzee (see Hojlund)

BUY:

De Gea
Carreras (United have a 15 million buyback clause)
Munoz
Jobe Bellingham
Wharton
Gomes (free)
Goncalo Ramos
Osimhen

Keep Rashford and Garnacho

Brian Mbanefo (Mbuemo) next. Interesting. Very interesting.

Pertinent questions:

1) Is Mbeumo a better player than Rashford? (who Amorim wants to get rid of)

2) Does selling Rashford (and England international) for 40 million and buying Mbeumo for 50 million make financial sense??

3) Is it wise to sell 20yo Garnacho (an Argentine international who has a very high ceiling) and buy the talented but temperamental Cunha? (whose best position is the one that club captain Bruno Fernandes plays in)

Mbemuo rejected Arsenal and Newcastle.

Mbuemo to play second fiddle to Bob Saka presumably. Arsenal made no concrete attempt to sign Bola Mbuemo. On his very best day he doesn’t bench Bob. Ever. Newcastle were interested, Tottenham too. United is a guarantee of first-team football, without competition.

Garnacho wants out. Rashford wants out. There’s nothing worse than keeping a renegade in the ranks. Today’s social media outburst is tomorrow’s coup d’etat. United have to get rid out the lot. Rashford, Garnacho, Sancho. Out.

Mbemuo - 20 goals

Saka - 6 goals.


Talk about shameless delusion by a retard.

Arsenal made moves to sign Mbemuo and guys who know like Ornstein said it. FACT! Saka was moved to left back in England to accomodate more creative players. Arteta's plan was to move Saka to RW to replace Martinelli in the starting line up (Saka played there a lot in the past) and Mbemuo starts as RW.

We can be "tribalistic" about "our" teams, but any one who knows anything about football knows Mbemuo is the better player. Not even in performance but in numbers - objective facts. And Arteta's plan was to MOVE the lesser player to accomodate the objectively better player.

Imagine thinking a guy who scored 6 goals is better than the one who scored 20 goals. :lol: :lol:

Ornstein and guys like Fabrizio and other guys who have sources inside the clubs and who have no skin in the game said it clearly that Arsenal made a move, and like the others, Mbemuo chose United.

Even a retard should know that United is a bigger club than Arsenal. Is this a fvcking debate??? :roll:

Sure.

Spot diagnosis, Napoleon Syndrome or Congenital Microp*nis.

One will not indulge your fetish for flagellation. Little man, go to a fairground, walk into the hall of mirrors and pull your pants down. That pathetic todger, mocked by the “entertainment” hired for the evening, will be twice, thrice the standing and add a Y to the X chromosome for however long it takes to walk through.

Or “pull”, it works for the labia of the Bagandans’, worth a try on that mangina.

Ferguson had his share of maverick characters in his teams, but managed to channel their rebellious personalities for the good of the team (e.g. Cantona, Keane, Ronaldo, Schmeichel, Tevez, Cole). The fact that ETH and Amorim immediately want to get rid of any player they disagree with does not speak well of their EI and man management skills.

Ferguson was the last of a dying breed and didn’t have to contend with the might of TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X. The modern manager can’t kick a boot in the face of a fancy Dan or throw water coolers across a dressing room. These millennial marigolds livestream their whole existence. Ferguson would be doing porridge at Belmarsh before the first international break.

I would love to see a documentary where Ferguson is brought back to manage a modern team on a temporary basis. I would then take bets on how long it would take before Ferguson snaps and cripples the first player that tries to live stream from his dressing room or tries to explain their POV to him with "you get me fam?". Ferguson would himself cause the injury crisis in his own squad.

Yen yen yen.. you can cry all you like. Its a fact. Mbemuo scored 20, Your Saka scored 6. Nothing you can do will ever change that.

Arsenal wanted Mbemuo to take over the RW and move your boy (always being moved) to the left. FACT!

Mbemuo rejected you, FACT

Mbemuo, like everyone in the world, believes that Man United is bigger than Arsenal, FACT!

Mbemuo is a better player than Saka, FACT!

Now, go cry into your pillow. :roll:

In case we were in any doubt about Manchester United being a circus. 🎪

Clubs keep on trying to fleece United. I cannot believe Brentford have the nerve to ask United to pay more for Mbeumo than Osimhen would cost. That is outrageous. If I were in charge of United's transfer budget I would immediately end negotiations and instead go for Osimhen or Ramos.

There’s a reason they have openly bid for Mbuemo and as yet, haven’t bid for Osimhen. Some clubs have more pressing needs.

Priorities. United desperately need 10s more than a 9. Moreover, the 10s being brought in can play 9. The 9 yet to be approach cannot play 10. Given the loss of projected earnings through an abysmal campaign, United to sell before they can make wholesale changes. Cunha and Mbuemo are easier, more versatile targets.

Osimhen will be a battle, not only from the metrics, but also from the competition for acquisition. Assuming they ship off Rasmus and Zirkzee, Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho, they may be able to compete with the “top, top sides” also courting Osimhen.

United already has 3 number 10s in the team (Fernandes, Zirkzee, Cunha). Arguably, United does not have a single number 9 CF unless you want to count Hojlund.
