Transfer: 2024 Summer Transfer Window - Closed Window Discussion

They also note that’s before sales. And they’re planning on selling Sancho and Greenwood.

Greenwood for say 15M lets you spend 75M on a new player. Sancho for 25M lets you spend something like 50M on a new player

They will sell more I believe.

 

[Jussi]

They will sell more I believe.

Yeah, the intent is to sell but problem will be how much they cant get for them. For example Dortmund would rather loan out Sancho again than buy him. And I read that Antony would have to be sold for a minimum £51 million for the sake of the FFP. The only option with him is probably a loan.

 

[hatterson]

They will sell more I believe.

Oh for sure. My point is that it wouldn’t be too hard for them to spend 250m even without any big sales like Rashford or Bruno.

 

[Jussi]

Ultimately it depends who they can sell and for how much. I don't think Bruno is going anywhere because he'd be the hardest to replace.

There are no player on Man United that is hard to replace. Of course you have to keep Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund for obvious reasons but if a team want Bruno or Rashford you should let them go.

I’d say Bruno is hard to replace given what he does for the team.

 

[Jussi]

Exactly. Only KDB had created as much scoring chances in the top 5 leagues in Europe since Bruno arrived at United. I'd say that's pretty hard to replace.

He’s actually insanely underrated, mostly because he’s easy to hate due to his whining and antics.

There's Napoli interest on Greenwood yesterday some reports came up.
If that's the price for Sancho I'm sure BVB would pay it. I would expect others would come too

United without Bruno is a mid table team.

United with Bruno is a mid table team.

United without Bruno are where their underlyings suggest they should be, in about 15th.

 

[luiginb]

They'd be there without Bruno AND Onana

It's been reported now that Rennes turned down 20M from Leverkusen for Doue last winter (insulting offer really).
They're asking for 60. They'll get 50 IMO. Probably from PSG.

They were just trying to do you a solid by letting Wirtz teach Doue

Or rather replace Wirtz by Doue this summer.

I have my doubts about Davies leaving. Don't think he'd get enough of a return to justify that, so you might as well just run down his contract.

Skipp should probably stay because he's one of their only club-grown players. Mayyybe if they do manage to bring Walker-Peters back, which is rumored.

The rest I don't mind leaving.

I'd keep Lo Celso, Hojberg and Richarlison.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'd keep Lo Celso, Hojberg and Richarlison.

Both Lo Celso and Hojbjerg are out of contract in 2025.

As for Richarlison, he is too injury prone.

 

[cgf]

Would be weird if that was the thinking given they're not going to sell Wirtz this summer.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I'd keep Lo Celso, Hojberg and Richarlison.

I keep Davies if possible, and if everyone else leaves, I would be OK

 

[Evilo]

Would be weird if that was the thinking given they're not going to sell Wirtz this summer.

That was probably not that obvious last winter.

 

[cgf]

That was probably not that obvious last winter.

By definition it was less obvious last winter, and I hear what you're saying about preparing for worst case scenarios...but even back then, Wirtz and his father had both gone on record to say that Flo had no desire to move before the euros and that they intended to spend the 2024-2025 season with Leverkusen*

...and now we've thoroughly ruined my joke about France needing Germans to teach their youth to be creative...



*pretty sure I even made jokes about Bayern having two years to save up for Flo after blowing their wad on Harry.

Looks like the third summer of us signing a midfielder on a free transfer. Strong links with Ross Barkley

Bring back Grealish, he and Boss Ross had great chemistry
