Maldini

Gorst saying Trent "doesn't want talks playing out in public out of respect for his boyhood club" Sounds like he's off from that

Apparently we're £47m in profit between sales and all the sell on % clauses that have kicked in.

I wonder why both clauses have been 17.5% and not 20%

Maybe he means Succession planning

They've spent more money since Boehly took over than Everton have in their entire existence

Needs a bit of Sorkinising: Billy, we live in a world that has spreadsheets, and those spreadsheets have to be collated by men with stats. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Arne? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Zubimendi, and you curse the geeks. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that Zubimendi not signing, while tragic, probably saved FSG money; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves FSG money. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on forums, you want me on that spreadsheet -- you need me on that spreadsheet. We use words like "FFP," "net spend," "press resistance." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent collating something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very analysis that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a calculator and fill in the Excel. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!

Apparently Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra has said on a stream that Barca are reactivating talks for Luis Diaz but want to include players for FFP. There's only really De John or Vitor Roque that we could be interested in I'd imagine. They can't afford to pay De Jong what he's owed in deferred wages. He'd have to take a pay cut to come to us as well, even his base wage was more than VVD is on I think

Gravenberch came to us because he was unable to play in a 2 at Bayern as well

Wild

Jonathan Wilson said earlier we're the only team in the top 5 leagues yet to sign a player. I can't be bothered looking up whether it's true or not but I'm choosing to believe it.

Did she just invent womansplaining?

Not enough is said about how Jota isn't his real name and he's walking around like some Big Brother contestant from the early 00's with a letter for a surname

Zielinski >>baton>> Rabiot

He did well in Italy and was sold because his contract was running down. I think his profile fits English football better. He's great on the ball, dominant in the air and very physical. He wouldn't suit how we play but I think he'll do very well in United's deeper line. He's not dissimilar to Vidic but he's a much better passer. Half the league still just has big physical lads

Some of the lads we're selling are arguably ahead of where Quansah and Bradley were 12 months ago though. You don't get Quansahs or Bradleys unless you take a bit of a risk, put them in before they're fully ready and give them the opportunities and time to develop

I think he'll be a great signing for United, he seems much better suited to English football than Italian or German.

I hope this isn't true, seems a bit Mourinho-ish to me. Focusing only on the present at the expense of the future.

Tactics so confusing version with Darwin

Joey Veerman from PSV linked, could be one of those new fangled PSR swapsies in the making

I think we're keeping him at 5th choice unless we get a good bid for him. I know he stank the place out when he got near our first team but his stats last year were right up there with the best u23 CBs in Europe. He's lightning quick and very good in the air, they're hard to come by.

Apparently the Turkish media are saying a couple of Galatasaray directors are over to negotiate with us for Gravenberch

Is this a joke or a strange transfer announcement? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C929qEJO5wR/?igsh=MWgxNGw2bzV2bWx3OA==

He got 3 before he left Ajax as well, 18 in all comps in each of his last two seasons
