I'm a bit glad he won nothing relevant to be honest, as I dislike him a lot for things that happened when he was at Sporting.

It's the right business decision, even tough United is acting properly and letting him decide - he's earned it for what he's been trough and staying loyal to United.

What happened?

We would have 295 to spend depending on how much left on amortizations.

Cunha 60
Mbuemo 50
Gyokeres 60
Garcia 30..........thats 200 right there?

No club is paying that for Garnacho. Napoli wouldn't even go that high in the January window.

And Casemiro isn't leaving Manchester United, especially with the wages he's on.

We'll see what the offers for Antony are.


Garnacho is more in the 45 mil range, maybe 50 with addons. Casemiro probably stays as there isn't much interest. For Antony ,I think UTD will get that 35 mil from someone. He played well enough to get interest from multiple parties. Realistically its probably around 135- 145 mill in sales. We have 60 remaining from budget so that's another 200 mil to spend. His plan is feasible but I feel Gyokeres probably costs more. I can see his fees going up to 70 mil. If you are sporting and UTD shelled out 60 for Cunha, you'd want more.

But that means no midfielder and to be honest i'd sacrifice Mbuemo to get a midfielder. Casemiro has no legs for the EPL. Ugarte can't progress the ball forward. Mainoo can't really play in a midfeild two. Someone like Ederson would help a lot. And you can keep Bruno as a 10 or play Amad there. I think we need another CM a lot more than another 10 after getting Cunha. We also have Zirzkee and Mount who can play as 10s.

But more than likely Gyokeres doesn't happen. We get a cheaper striker and that frees up money for another CM.

After failing to qualify for the champions league a group of supporters attacked the academy and several players left the club, saying they were traumatized. Mostly guys from our own academy, but Bruno was one of them. He eventually came back to get more money, but I still don't forgive him, William Carvalho, Patricio or Rafael Leao.

It had to be Coates to set the example and say those guys don't represent our club and that he would stay no matter what. Leao wasn't even there when the attack occurred, so he's the one I hate the most.

Brentford is likely holding out for a similar fee as Manchester United paid for Cunha.

Mbuemo - $65 Mil
Gyokeres - $75 Mil
Ndidi - $9 Mil or Onana /Ederson (Dream)
Goalie........Anyone?

Maybe a few low cost/young signings after

Antony to Real Betis for Loan and $35 mil Buy
Garnacho to Leverkusen for $65 Mil
Malacia to Feyenord for $8 mil
Bayindir to any Turkey team for $8 Mil

Casimiro to anyone?
I think Onana may stay or get sold late
