They finished above the [Poor language removed] season before last. They are huge income wise. If they pay what we want it's fine by me. Personally hope he remains here and we can build with him. [Poor language removed] all that champions league level bollocks. If we sell demand a huge fee or don't entertain a bid
That Mainoo of yours looks decent, but do you think he should be playing at the highest level to realise his potential? Needs to play Champions league to kick on i reckon.Christ, what an embarrassing response to my post. I'll leave you guys to your little celebration(?). Incredible.

Christ, what an embarrassing response to my post. I'll leave you guys to your little celebration(?). Incredible.
United are clearly trying to rebuild the team with top quality young players: Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund and now Zirkzee & Yoro.
You've fallen so far but with ETH who has a background of developing young players it appears to be a sound strategy.
To look at the two centre back positions: Yoro, Scalvini, Silva, Cubarsi, Colwill and perhaps Beraldo would be up there as the most promising u21's.
I think Yoro is a great signing for United. The joke is that you've paid more for him than you offered for Branthwaite who is currently a far superior player at 22.
Not to mention the boy only had a year on his contract and although he looks quality in France you never know how he adjusts to the faster more physical premier league.
I compare the recent Branthwaite offers to when you signed Rio Ferdinand. The manager saw a quality young English player with high potential and BANG no messing about you signed him.
Imagine if you'd have offered £14mil then £16mil instead of the £30mil he cost you? Then instead of a moment of realisation of how he would improve and take the team up a level long term...
...you dont improve the Ferdinand bid and sign an 18 year old from France for £23mil.
We're talking about one of the biggest clubs in the world with millions of global customers. But the recent actions with Branthwaite are rather bizarre.
Trying for a 50% off deal for the best young English centre back? Thats not United behaviour.
We aren't in the champions league like the big boys. Villa might be worth a cheeky bid. Utd clearly need to sell to buy.
Not the first time I’ve seen a United fan say something along these lines.
Is this a coping strategy from them? Or do they honestly think we were desperate to sell one of the best defenders in the league last season for some reason?
Every Evertonian I’ve seen thinks it’s great that they’ve moved on - and hilarious that they’ve thrown a huge amount of cash on a French prospect.

Glad they have moved on and bought another defender. They obviously couldn't afford him or they didn't rate him enough to pay 70 mil. It'd wasn't worth it for us to sell at 40 million when we are fighting to stay up each season.
No Everton fan is mad they're buying someone else.
It's a way of trying to position themselves as a club that arent a basket case and are in fact, still the envy of other clubs in England.
They are desperate to portray Radcliffe as heralding a wave of positive change.
See you in a month Phillip x

The media /social media response has been one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen . It’s like they’re inventing conversations in their heads then angry about that conversation . So weird
Mental that.
