Manchester United Football Club 20/21

He’s a much better striker than martial would be the main benefit I’d imagine.

For a free signing like him I’d imagine you’d be paying about 10 million or so with that being split between a signing on fee and an agents fee.

This reminds me of the time Liverpool Football Club signed Mario Balotelli.

So he’ll be keeping a young player who just had his best season out. Fantastic bit of business that by Woodward

It’s reminds me a little of when Barca signed Henrik Larson.

Your absolutely seething :joy:

There is plenty of room for both in the squad. Martial can play wide left as well. It’s not the 1960s you aren’t going to play the same player for 90 minutes for 38 games.

Interesting character this agent.

And interesting insight into the motivation of the player

ā€œIf it were for money,ā€ the agent said, ā€œEdi would have gone to England, Manchester or Chelsea.ā€

With every single signing there’s some sort of risk but basically swapping Chris smalling for Cavani is an absolute no brainer for me particularly given it’s a short term contract.

He’ll be motivated to play to get another contract at least. If it was a 3 or 4 year deal you’d have awful concerns but this is good business for the numbers reported.

More like Karl Heinz Reidle or Jari Litmanen or Robbie Fowler.

Lads at the arse end of a career.

Enjoy the 24 hours.

You’d have to say the agent has played a blinder here… Cavani is still a fine player but I’m not sure he’s what Utd need… Midfield and defence are the issue.

He’s very handsome, that can’t be overlooked

Yep we badly need to add to matic, Fred, pogba, Bruno, donny van de beek and McTominay. That’s really the issue.

Yes, defensively there’s massive issues. Teams are cutting through utds midfield.

He has a great bit of cut to him too.

But I bet he’s still a gentle lover

Saw a report yesterday suggesting that Leeds are primed to bid €25 million for Dan James. OGS wanted to accept and put towards Sancho fee but Woodward was more reluctant.

I’m not so sure that is great business imo. I’m not gone on sancho at all.

€25m for James :rofl::rofl:, cost €15m a season ago?
