Sancho to Chelsea might compensate a bit the tragedy of ripping off Man United and Arsenal with the sales of Mount and Havertz.
I’m very much in the Havertz LIKELY being a rip off side of things (unless you build a team perfectly around him in a very specific role outside of the EPL)

But it’s unfair on Mount at this point. Maybe his body just never recovers and he was indeed burnt out very quickly. But he also hasn’t played much football in 2023. And United’s balance is off. Meh. Two time POTS on a top four team and CL willing team. Looked good internationally. He’s very much hit a snag but I think being out is very unfair.

Pepe worth 30m based on what, being shit? He's worth about 15m and he has enormous wages. They will either loan him or offload him for free or max 5 million.

After his decent preseason I thought he’d get a look from xavi. Torres is on fire though and Lamine is in the rise so I get it to an extent.

To be fair, I don’t think Xavi wants him to leave. Of course Xavi wants ten players at every position so there’s that.

Were it me, and I had to rank the wingers in order of sell first and keep last it’d be this:

Abde
Raphinha
Fati
Ferran

So I’d sell Abde and Raphinha first. Of course Raphinha isn’t realistic.

As for Felix, if he agrees a notably lower wage, I’d be open to giving it a shot. I think he would too considering his public comments. And we have some leverage here because he wants to come and Atleti want to offload him. He makes less than a million more than Ansu right now who is a on big wage himself that is too much for his current profile. Also, Felix‘s numbers aren’t worse than Fati’s. IMO they’re slightly better and this is for a player largely played out of position and for a side like Simeone’s Atleti. Stats don’t equal performance, but from what I’m seeing from some supporters it’s as if we’re signing Arda Turan again.

Is he more reliable than Klopp?
Klopp indicated many times that Salah will not leave and he rarely make comments about transfer to the media usually. If Salah leave it would have to be for the most ridiculous offer possible.
If Salah asks out and Liverpool get a 120-150m offer... I could see them letting him go.

If this was happening in July, I could see them doing it 100% - the problem now is that they don't have time to bring anyone in.

He’s tainted from chelsea but Cucu was considered good not too long ago. I wouldn’t be unhappy if I was a united supporter

I've seen what a trainwreck he was at Chelsea and I also have years of experience of players coming in to United and I'm really hard pressed to think of a single one in the last decade who struggled elsewhere but was suddenly unlocked back to his old self at United.

3 million would be tolerable. Having Cucurella on the team wouldn't be.
For emergency needs, there's not much choice. Or would you rather United just twiddle with their thumbs and do nothing?

Have there been such players in general at United?

I remember he was tweeting a ton about one of the United sagas. Maybe Sancho? But I don’t remember him being entirely accurate.

As for Cucurella… it’s fine. Of all the names we’ve been linked to I think he has the highest ceiling. Would be a very short left side, but meh. It’s not like Reguilon, Alonso, or Tagliafico(at this point in his career) are noticeably better.
