Summer Transfers 2025 Missed Opportunities and Regrets

United are making a move for Sesko. :lol:

Sesko v Gyokeres first game of the season could be interesting. The internet warrior derby. :bow:

Well United beat Bournemouth 4-1 without there new signing so will be now installed as favorites to win the quaduaple by all the usual pundits :lol:

They've also made it "crystal" clear they won't accept anything below the release clause, which by now , after the Forest case, we should all understand that no English club is bound to the "terms" of a release clause, apparently.

Looking at it, It does seem that getting this deal through may be more financially tasking than the Gyokores deal.... especially as it seems we are struggling to move any of our deadwood.

IMO, if we manage to see this through, we'll challenge for the title, even if we get our usual dose of injuries.... so in short, I really do pray we make it happen.

Read on some random site today that we are looking at Leicester City playmaker Bilal El Khannouss as a cheaper alternative to Eze...

we shouldn't be looking at 'cheaper' players we should be making sure we offload Zin, Nelson, Viera, Lokonga etc etc - if even we give one or two of them away it means we're not paying their wages ffs

I agree that we should do what is needed to buy Eze...but I can't help but think that there's a ring of truth about us looking at a cheaper and/or younger alternative. We've burnt some cash on Nwaneri and I wonder whether the club sees less importance in the central playmaker position as a result?

Lokonga's agent has got to be some sort of shaman or something .....I mean to think this guy has been on a 100k a week to do ef all for almost 3 years or so.....wow.

We should also mention Jesus as a possible (and very welcome IMO) sale possibility - apparently we are open to selling him and he may have takers, which would be a useless high earner off the books :good:

Liverpool have offered 110million plus add ons for Isak

Newcastle have told Liverpool to fuck off

More to follow (well probably)

We really need to follow up on this Eze interest and do whatever is needed to ensure we have goals coming from all angles, especially by having players who can contribute directly to scoring them and not those who excel in contributing to blocked shot stats.

Isak is going to move to Liverpool this season, the sooner we are prepared for this, the better.

Liverpool don’t particularly worry me they are incredibly top heavy already and for me it seems a silly strategy to sell Luiz Diaz to raise money for a player who has injury question marks. I like Isak very good player but not for the money being asked for.
