if the 3rd kit leaks are to be trusted, I’ll be buying a MU kit for the first time in a decade

 

Our name precedes us

 

Hey everyone,

I've got a bit of a busy weekend, so it may not be updated until Monday, but if you want to keep track of the draw, the Google Sheet I'll be using is here: Chorus Euro/Copa Draw

 

Happy Euros day to those who celebrate

 

Just been in a meeting with a guy at work there, and he revealed he's got tickets to the England games. Said he'd been planning it for years, going to friendlies against nothing teams to build up credit to get tickets priority.

Never been so jealous in my life.

 

Would be a fan of this

 

United coming in with a Levy special of offering half of their asking price lol

 

There’s a premier league manager younger than me I want to fucking cry.

 

You know you’re getting old when you put your actual birthday into FM and it doesn’t seem unrealistic

 

Hopefully a sign of things to come for United, not paying silly money and being taken advantage of.

Meeting in the middle at £45/50m plus bonuses seems fair, if Everton want/ need to do a deal for PSR reasons.

 

Apparently Everton have no intention of selling for less than 80m. And they shouldn’t. He’s their best defender and probably future captain.

 

Yeah, and with Berrada there’s a high chance we actually do move on to second choices rather than waste the summer waiting.

 

Completely fair enough, and United will likely move on if that's the case. Think United are probably trying to chance it a bit as there's rumours Everton need some sales before June 30th.

 

Everton will sell him for a huge price and then still get a points deduction before City

 

Hürzeler is younger than Welbeck

 

Can't help but feel like we're being bullied. Firstly, there's a leak Btanthwaite has agreed personal times. Now this shitty offer. Ratcliffe's had the United DoF on his chemicals, surely?

 

Apparently it's an all equity offer, too, so he won't be lending money with big interest rates against Bramley Moore Dock.

 

In the right thread this time...

For what it’s worth out of all the CB options linked with United I see Branthwaite as the worst fit for this squad. His recovery pace and aerial ability would obviously be huge assets, but we’re looking for someone to partner with Martinez and Branthwaite is very much an LCB from what I’ve seen. I also respectively don’t think he’s good enough with the ball at his feet and playing out of the back for a team that will be looking to have majority of the possession throughout most games. Obviously he’s young and will clearly improve on that and playing for Everton definitely hasn’t allowed him to showcase that side of his game too much, but we need someone to come in and hit the ground running in that regard. Lastly I just don’t think we’re in any sort of position to be paying anything near a Maguire level transfer fee on another CB, even if that kind of investment would pay off over the years.

 

Holland seems like a proper prick.

 

there's the Branthwaithe backup plan

 

This is a naff opening ceremony jesus christ
