What's new

Random Rumours

I've always wondered if Guehi is tall enough, and thought he was sleeping at the Euros on some goals.  But he is well rated by all in PL, and if Newcastle were willing to pay near £75M then it says a lot.  Would support him arriving and having a little more presence, assertiveness and quality in CB position. 

 
Don't see what the fuss with Guehi is. He's not much better than the options we have, and he's homophobic. Don't want him here.

 
David Ornstein has tweeted they could reluctantly listen to offers for him.

Bravo Jim Ratcliffe!

He’s really making a difference at that club lol.

 
It’s come from Ornstein who is quite reliable. United fans don’t seem happy about it. 

 
Mainoo and Manchester United are far apart in negotiations with Mainoo wanting around £200,000 a week. United may decide it’s better to cash in now or the Summer. Chelsea leading the race. (@ChrisWheelerDM) #CFC
 

Not sure we’ll pay £200k a week

Not a chance 

 
Where’s Mainoo playing? Not sure why we’d spend £50-60 plus million on a central midfielder when we have Enzo, Moses, and Lavia.  Especially when we really need a center back, goalie, and possibly a new striker.  

I know we make some mental decisions at times but I don’t see this as anything other than paper nonsense.

Utd fans don’t even think he is a CM. They feel long term he is better in the pocket behind a centre forward.

United's financial situation is a complete mess. All these years of buying recklessly and getting nothing in return (outgoings) and their lack of UCL football this season (and probably the next ones, too) have put them in FFP & PSR territory and they are now forced to sell in order to buy any more players. If Amorim wants new players, he must sell first, there is no way about it anymore. Mainoo represents pure profit, but he is no way an 80-100M player as those deluded muppets at RedCafe think. United are desperate and clubs know this and their squad options are limited in terms of what players represent any value in the market in terms of FFP and PSR. Because if they want to sell Hojlund for less than 74M two years after they bought him for that amount, they are in an even bigger trouble as the deal would be registered as a loss. Same goes for Mount, or Zirkzee or all of the other bang average players they bought in the last couple of years. They cannot sell them at a loss for the moment. They will probably try to sell Mainoo and Garnacho and get rid of the big wages like Rashford, Casemiro, Eriksen to free up some space.

At the moment I believe United try to make Mainoo look like a w**ker in the media to please their fans when they will eventually sell him, telling them he did not want to play for them anymore and wanted a new fat contract. Truth is they are in such a big mess, they are forced to sell him if they are to even think of new signings.

Agree with what you said except the bolded part. Manchester United are a financial behemoth. They are #2 in football revenue despite a decade of failure on the pitch. Their ability to generate sponsorship and merchandising revenue is like no other club on the planet.

We know that revenue is tied to success, which suggests that Manchester United's revenue is the current floor. If (admittedly, a big if) they ever get their sh*t together on the pitch and start competing as a top club again, they will utterly dwarf every other club, including Real Madrid, in financial terms. 

And if that ever happens you can bet your last dollar we'll see talk of scrapping PSR and the ESL all over again.

I agree, but it looks like the sponsorship deals alone can't bail them out any longer. It worked for the past 10-12 years, now reality finally hit them and must find other sources of income, too.

Even then he’s competing with Palmer and Paez next season.  Don t see him as a necessary addition.  The directors probably see profit making more than squad improvement if they can get him on the cheapish side of £50 million that is.

Tells me immediately this is fake news dreamt in the Chris Wheeler's head because Lavia is injury prone. Don't believe a word of it.

 
Why would Man Utd sell Mainoo? He's their standout player in a position in which they've been awful since Michael Carrick left.

 
Seems like a classic negotiation tactic. Agent leaks that he could be keen on moving and name drops Chelsea. 
- While the real reason is probably that they want to position themselves (agent + player) to gain a higher salary. 

No way we're offering him anywhere near that as a squad player with Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia already in the team for the same position - and with Ugochukwu + Andrey Santos out on loan. Not to mention Casadei and KDH though they're already being linked elsewhere.
