*quickly checks what thread I'm in*

phew!

 

[CrazyMatt]

ronaldo have grounds to terminate his contract and really should as his salary is crippling

he should go to psg though, doesnt fit munich

Just saw PSG are still in for him too. So far its just Bayern and PSG along with some Sporting, the middle east and MLS, options I dont think he’ll consider.

Liverpool have apparently agreed a fee for Cody Gakpo. Dont know anything about him.

Also said to be close to signing Noah Okafur and then loaning him to Salzburg for 6 months then Leipzig for 12

Good stats, also won player of year in Netherlands last season. Will keep a close eye on him at WC

Bayern ruled themselves out for Ronnie. Options are drying up for him.

No bid from anyone yet for Gakpo, PSV are happy to let him go in January but they’re waiting until after the world cup to increase his value.

Ten Hag wanted him in the summer and United didnt get him because the club didnt move on Ronaldo, they’ll go back in for him in January, if they can’t get him, Jonathan David looks like the second choice.

Leeds were a bees dick away from signing him in the summer before Gakpo changed his mind and decided he wanted to try to go to a bigger club post world cup.

I don’t know anything about Liverpool’s interest but it wouldn’t surprise me, seems the sort of player Klopp would want.

As for what he is, he can play anywhere across the front line and even sit behind the striker. He mainly plays off the left but its widely accepted that his future likely lies in the 9 role. Is 6 foot 2 as well. Very promising and one of the best talents in the Dutch league. He’s also the reigning Dutch Footballer of the year.

yeh som geezer said a 45 mil fee had been agreed and would be announced after the cup

Well if he turns out to be right and you do get him, then in my opinion, you’ve got yourselves a gem.

However I heard PSV wont entertain offers until after the cup. He will very likely go in January.

I’m hoping United go in for him if he’s still available.

Manchester United is officially up for sale. Im approaching this with cautious optimism, because its a given that I absolutely want the Glazers gone, but I don’t want just another group of American investors to come in because it’ll likely mean more of the same, who wont care about the football side of things, only their dividends. (Hopefully the EPL stays true to their statement about any potential owners not being able to take dividends out of the club willy nilly, every money made by a club should be reinvested into the club). Ideally they find either a wealthy individual or a group that actually has ambitions about turning Man United back into a football powerhouse to rival Man City’s ambitions. Easier said then done but thats got to be the goal.

How would you feel about getting taken over by a state/ state backed ownership?

 

[CrazyMatt]

How would you feel about getting taken over by a state/ state backed ownership?

Mixed feelings. It would make me uncomfortable but let’s face it, the only way anyone is going to compete with Man City or Newcastle in the coming years is likely oil money. Believe me I hate saying that, but it’s reality. I’d love Jim Ratcliffe to take over as he is a passionate and wealthy Man United fan, would run the club responsibly and would help the club turn a regular profit on its own merits, but I don’t know if that’s enough to catch Man City anymore.

Im curious to see what an Apple ownership would look like.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Apple are out. Thats a shame. A Manchester United/Apple partnership had a lot of potential I felt.

majority of fsg staff have now left liverpool, klopp is now pushing to get the dortmund scout and have a chat with zorc about the DoF role

sale would have to be further down the line for the amount of fsg yes men to tender resignation

 

[CrazyMatt]

Real Madrid now in for Gakpo apparently. FFS none of us needed that.
