Next is Hojlund? What’s the inside track on da boi, only seen some highlights and he seems to have a decent touch, pass, attitude.
United missed out on Haaland for reasons so they’re gonna try and pay out the nose for the discount version.
Well yes except his transfer fee will be higher (but agent fees and wages about a million times lower).
By Laboured Go To PostCome on m8 I'm not Scum.
Going big for Hojlund as basically the sole striker (i'm assuming you keep Martial and he's barely fit/shit as usual) seems mental to me. That's not to say he won't be good, but..man, what a risk.

There aren't really many other options. Maybe we're waiting for Toney in January or something.
But yeah, think goals will be an issue again this season.

Kane is right there and probably turns you into title contenders overnight. I think it would take a big offer to get him of course, but it sounds like it's going to take a big offer to get Hojlund.
Toney's suspension is going to end up making him more valuable come January. There's just so few options out there.
I'm surprised Aubameyang is being told to leave Chelsea. Could use him with Broja just returning from ligaments; Jackson raw, young and unproven; and Nkunku likely to play further back.

there's a general lack of good strikers in general, even in the Prem you could say it's Toney, Halaand, Kane and then the rest of teams rely more on sharing the goals between the frontline
probably what happens when for 10+ years it was the Ronaldo/Messi game

By Punished Go To PostLiverpool ticket ballot day. No chance I get any *reverse jinx*
To avoid any potential disruption to you, we wanted to wait until we have confirmation of the total stand capacity from Liverpool City Council’s licencing team.
The stand isn't ready, then.
I think £65m-ish should be enough for Hojlund and he probably gets you 10-15 goals across all comps if he's your main guy. He has 9 goals in 1800 abyssal minutes, pretty decent.
I'm not sure who else is available for that price that have his upside and that expected goal return.
Time for real mental gymnastics.
Say it was £45m. I think most people would pull the trigger.
So United would be paying a 20m+ tax on being historic overspenders in a drought. I'm satisfied with that.

It would need to be at least £120m+ and from all the briefings it doesn't sound like we can get anywhere near that without major, major sales.
Also Levy would absolutely take £90m from Bayern before accepting £120m from United if those were his only options.
Only other guy I'd have us go after is Kolo Muani, but he's probably a bit more expensive and I get the impression he really wants Bayern or PSG.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostWhen he was at Salzburg?Think Haaland was dead set on moving to a team where he'd start every game straight away and they'd let him have a pretty low release clause when he left Salzburg
The latter is never going to happen at Man Utd, can't remember what the situation was for the former. I assume he'd have made his way into the first 11 easily enough, been a long time since Man Utd had a great striker iirc, Ibrahimovic for half a season might be about it since Van Persie's 2012/13.
By Plasma Go To PostPretty funny, everyone knows they're rolling in money now because they spent all summer feeding journalists how much everyone was bidding for Rice and now they're going to have to over pay for anyone they sign.Mate, everyone knows the price of every transfer, West ham running their mouth made no difference. Not like Fulham are gonna think he's gone for a pittance
By Perfect Blue Go To PostUnited missed out on Haaland for reasons so they’re gonna try and pay out the nose for the discount version.
From what I’ve seen they don’t have similar play styles.
He’s about as similar to Haaland as Vlahovic is to either. They are tall and have a left foot.
By KimoSan Go To PostHow married to City is Alvarez?
By Xpike Go To PostThink we should be asking more than that given he's just had a season where he's scored 20 goals.
mashallah, goodbye balogun and pepe
welcome Lavia
Fofana hasn't traveled to the US because of a knee issue. Also, it is Monday and the sky is blue. 🫠
By FortuneFaded Go To PostHe played a bunch last year but could play more by starting. 🤔

City would ask for £125-150m for Alvarez I’d imagine which would be a fair price. He’s under contract until 2028. Won’t be going anywhere for a long time unless an unbelievable offer like that came in.
By Plasma Go To PostThink we should be asking more than that given he's just had a season where he's scored 20 goals.Should be 60 mil given the market. If we’re selling cheap we should have a buy back clause in place.
By Kidjr Go To PostPaulhinia is one of the best dms in the league. Easily 70/80 million given his age.Selling him for 20M€ was probably the biggest crime our board has made but the bigger Premier League clubs weren't interested.

Another knee injury. Big yikes.
By Scum Go To PostI hope he keeps last season's level of quality for many years
By Dr3upMushroom Go To PostWe might get Riceado after all. 👀👀Can't see it happening, even if we sell Partey we'd probably get £30-£40m max and we'll need £80m-£100m to sign Caicedo and it looks pretty obvious that Arteta wants Havertz and Rice in midfield so we aren't paying that sort of money for somebody who isn't going to be an automatic starter.

What
By Kidjr Go To PostWhatprice went up to £200m just for asking that question
don't make city raise it again
he's on at least 11
By Scum Go To Postim shocked. i was told by fellow fans we should be worried he would leave
By Kidjr Go To PostWhatEven a playah like KidJr recognizes that bluff.
By Cleff Go To Post…He will not comply
Is Memphis in a cult?

Caicedo aint happening because Brighton will demand 100m too
We just need a backup midfielder anyways

By Kidjr Go To PostWhat5-years left on a contract on the best team in the world at an important position like striker. World Cup winner and at least 10 good years ahead of him. Scored 17 goals in his first season while playing about half the time. Haaland could leave in a season or two potentially. City would genuinely not bat an eye unless a fee like that was offered.
CIES Football Observatory (obviously YMMV on their valuations, but they're probably more accurate than say transfermarkt) pegs his value at €100m and obviously City would require significantly more than that given the above circumstances.
