eez-eh Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 English football really has gone mental when you see Ake going for £40million and think “that’s no as much as I thought it’d be actually”. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 English football really has gone mental when you see Ake going for £40million and think “that’s no as much as I thought it’d be actually”.Exactly. I heard £40 million and initially thought that was a huge price. Then I remembered that Maguire went for £80 million and it didn't sound so bad. It's wild down there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I honestly don't think many clubs will be doing that much business this summer with all the uncertainty around. The oil rich clubs will spend, keeping within FFP rules of course, but books will be balanced with most other clubs I would think. If they don't, they are taking a massive gamble in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange that Man Utd are going for him. They are also heavily linked with Grealish and Sancho. To me it is not the attacking side of their team they need to strengthen. I think they need a new goalkeeper, left back and maybe one other top player to have the squad to challenge, although I don't think they have the manager to seriously do that though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair. But I’d still say he’s every bit as good as old egghead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Chelsea allegedly have made an offer for Ter Stegen. At the very least you have to admire their ambition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see United signing both Sancho and Grealish, especially if Jimenez signs too. Tbh, I've never been convinced that United really want Grealish, especially at the fees being mentioned in the media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawB93 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Sancho would have to be utterly mental to join Man U IMO. Also Grealish/Cantwell et al are nowhere near as good as is made out, would be amazed if either of them went to a top 4 club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have changed strategy a bit and they do seem to have some logic to their approach. After SAF left they went for the short term option by signing big names likes Di Maria, Falcao, Mata, Schweinsteiger, Sanchez, Ibra, Matic etc. That went so badly for them (with one or two exceptions) and cost them so much money that they now seem to be going for signing younger players with potential, with a focus on British where possible - James, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire (obviously doesn't fit into the young category) and Fernandes. They are also leaving space for the likes of Greenwood and McTominay to come through, whereas previously they would have filled those positions with expensive senior signings. This is why they are getting linked with every half decent young player going, particularly British ones. Who knows how it will work out, some already look like poor signings - James is abysmal and Maguire isn't at the level they need. But I definitely think they have a clear strategy now that they didn't have previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Sure there were rumours that he wanted to leave them back in about October. Maybe just felt like it was time to try something new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
