Transfer Rumours The “What the F**k’s the point in another transfer window thread- Winter 2025 Transfer thread

Fuk sake.
Miggy is on the best contract of his life. No ****in brainer.

 

I also think Howe is terrified of injuries. If Almiron goes and we can't get a replacement over the line then an injury to Murphy and we are back to square pegs in round holes.

I personally think the risk needs to be taken even though the squad is paper thin in places. We end up losing so many on a free or continuously offering 1 year extensions to progressively older players otherwise

 

100% this is what it is. Wilson is surely now available, we’ve got three CFs for now (including Gordon though he’s wasted there). But if that’s the case then why aren’t we getting a player in or at least lined up?? I think this is where we have needed Mitchell, getting all the right deals lined up so we can ship Almiron and sign, say, Bakayoko at the same time. Here’s hoping anyway.

That said if we can sell Wilson surely that allows us to sign a winger, then still sell Almiron

 

I'd like to think this is why the Bakayoko links have been so strong recently.

The problem is that we currently aren't the "prime" Premier league destination for a player, so sewing up top players before the window will be harder for us than for one of the trad top 6. There will always be an agent whispering to their client: "Man United could do with a player like you, imagine the salary from them..."

 

thou is with Man Utd they have an owner tighter than fat mike now.

 

They do but the proof of that has not yet really been seen by agents. Might take a few windows if Ineos are gonna stay super tight.
Could be applied to any of the "big" six
