Man Utd Thread:

Do people seriously care what number players wear on their shirt? I thought that was left behind at the playground.

Something to keep us talking about I suppose while the oil states position themselves in the background.

'Banter club' is such a modern day Twitter insult.

How is this any different ? Debate board

As in I have only ever seen it on the likes of Twitter. Do people actually say it in real life? Or do they say Loserpool in real life either?

Middle aged men who still buy jerseys with names and numbers on the back are the only ones who would care i'd imagine. Load of nonsense otherwise as to what number any player wears as if it fecking matters what number is on a players shirt.

Still cracks me up that Birmingham city retired Bellinghams no22 shirt.

Some positive notes around the Onana deal, player appears to be keen and the clubs don't seem to be too far apart money wise when add ons included.

This does ramp up the need then to speed up the exit of some of the fringe players, if they are to land a striker of any description in this window.

I can't believe they don't seem to be making much progress with a striker especially as the best striker Russo has left the club. 

On a serious note, if Mason Mount is getting £300k a week as has been quoted then united clearly haven't learnt anything in relation to transfer business in the recent past.

What about this Hojlund dude? Could he be an option?

[barnish oggie]

Looks like £50-55 mil will get Onana.

That is the £120 mil budget essentially used up.

Reckon united should be clearing at least 80m in sales this year if not more, although we are notoriously shite at selling players!

Potentially up for sale are Henderson, Fred, Elanga, Maguire, Telles maybe McTominay too.

I would throw Martial and Sancho in there but on their wages they will be very hard to shift.

If we get rid of 3 or 4 of them, coupled with the saving in wages, that should be enough to buy Hojlund

There is also the potential to loan Greenwood to Atalanta for a year and take on Hojlund on loan, with an option to buy in 12 months.

Gets Greenwood off our case and if he plays well someone might buy him in 12 months or by then we might be willing to take him back and hope he can cope with the pressure.

Although personally, I would rather not see him in a United shirt again.

Not a bad idea re greenwood if getting it tight with the FFP.  No doubt United will either overpay for Hojlund one way or the other or bring in a donkey who works hard and is a presence while all along paying for greenwoods wages.

'Banter' seems a bit of an English term. Never heard it used much in Ireland but each to their own I guess.

Same happened to his wife in 2009 she made a good recovery, with no long-term effects hopefully the same for Edwin.
