161: Amorim's HUGE Double SWOOP! Costa AND Hjulmand!

0:03Hi everybody, good morning and welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United transfer news as Manchester United look to make a double swoop for the likes of Emi Martinez and also Le Mens, also Jornland. We've also got updates on Stiller, not Ben Stiller from Something About Mary. Lots to get into on the show this morning. Hope you're doing well and welcome to the United Stand for your latest Manchester United. news and transfer news and interestingly uh i want to start off talking about costa actually because pletigol has put a very interesting story out overnight about diogo costa the porto goal porto goalkeeper who's available for 20 million pounds accordingly galatasaray are going to move for him if they don't get edison just go and do this deal but we've also got an update from a very good source from Argentina talking about Emi Martinez we've also got six six alternatives for for Belaba and we've also got the latest on Morton Hulman of Sporting who could well be a target for Man United in the next couple of weeks now if you didn't see the show last night then you won't really know that 20 minutes in we gave an update from our source we've had quite a bit of information from over the last six months, that all this scaremongering coming out about Man United's window being closed and they're not looking for a goalkeeper, they're not looking for a midfielder, we're not following that negative path.

1:35We're following the path that United are desperately trying to do business in the next two weeks. They just don't know what business that's going to be. So yet again, there are stories that we'll cover this morning that are going to follow that line. I think The Athletic, again, talking about United, you know, probably, maybe unlikely to do deals that's not what we're getting let's see what happens obviously there's two weeks left in the window i'm not going to sit here and guarantee that we're going to make signings but i'm certainly not going to sit here and go oh no what we're going to do we're not going to do any deals how we will see how will we survive we want to do two deals amrin wants to do two deals and obviously there are deals that can be done and i think the first place i want to start off with is at gaston edel on uh x gaston edel so basically what he has been quoted as saying in the last few hours is that on relation to emmy martinez to manchester united the deal was very close the coaching staff especially amrim wanted him and martinez knew that amrim wanted him amrim could not convince the united board that it was important to spend on a goal a good goalkeeper So this is, sorry, let me just get this correct because I get his name right.

2:54Gaston Edel, who has like over a million followers on X and is, as some of you will know, he is the guy when it comes to Argentinian internationals, transfers, news. he always gets the information on it so what he is basically saying is in relation to emmy martinez there was a deal that was close obviously we know we approached aston villa around a loan deal he's saying that the deal was close um coaching staff amram wanted him but it's the board that have said they don't want to spend on a goalkeeper now this is very encouraging for us as fans because it shows what we reported in march as an exclusive was that amram had decided he wanted a new goalkeeper.

3:39Wilcox agreed with him. So we've known since March that Amrim wants a new goalkeeper. But what you have here is, is again, dedicated proof that Reuben Amrim wants a goalkeeper and a dedicated proof that it's the board that aren't willing to spend on it. So you sort of look at it and you go, well, there's a cracking story coming about Costa as well. The big thing that everybody needs to get their head around in this summer transfer window is that it's not a window where in the past we'd go, well, we've got money, but there's no value in the market. There's nobody there. And sometimes you would look at it and go, we need a striker, but where would you go?

4:18Nobody wants a load of crap up front. In every area of the pitch, I mean, we're going to talk about six alternatives to belabor that Man United could do for about 50 million quid or under in a moment. And we have been linked to the Sevilla one again this morning. But the reality is, in every single position, there is people that will make us better. And in goal, to be honest, there's probably about 100 goalkeepers that would make us better, but there's some really good options. So, Emi Martinez clearly wanted to come to Man United. Amrind really wanted Emi Martinez. We've made the approach, and United have basically said they're not going to spend the money.

4:55That is shocking. but what I would say is those sort of stories to me, I see them as a positive because there's still two weeks in the window. I think Villa against Brentford on Saturday afternoon is huge. The goalkeeper that played instead of Emi Martinez kept a clean sheet and had a good game. Will Emery bring Emi Martinez back? If he does, forget about it. If he doesn't, does it just start to open up the door for a deal? And maybe, maybe in fairness to Manchester United, and this has always been our conspiracy theory, maybe the price Aston Villa want for Emi Martinez is too high and maybe Man United are thinking, let's have a look in the last two weeks.

5:38Maybe. Because let's be honest, Inanna didn't start on Sunday. So look, maybe I'm putting two and two together and I'm getting five, but Inanna not starting against Arsenal. Emi Martinez, a player that we want. Will he play on Saturday? Could the price become more reasonable? Look, I'm hoping because we do need a goalkeeper and I'd be over the moon with a goal. I mean, one thing about Emi Martinez, he ain't palming that ball in his bloody goal, is he? Absolutely not. So keep an eye on that. Emi Martinez is a one-game ban, Matthew. That has been confirmed now. Now, the second goalkeeper story that is very, very interesting this morning, and it comes in from Pletigold, and we do have a bit of an update from Romano on this as well, but it got me very excited last night.

6:20So exclusive from Florian Plettenberg out there in Germany. he's saying Galatasaray have submitted an official offer for Costa worth 20 million euros plus add-ons the priority for Galatasaray is Edison however an agreement with Man City is not in sight therefore Galatasaray are exploring alternatives and Costa is the top option if Edison fails an offer has now been submitted now let's not run away with ourselves that doesn't mean that Man United are in for Costa. But what that does do yet again is make me go, why are we not in for Costa? And also, even if that was doubled, even if it was 40 million euros plus add-ons, that's still a very achievable price for Manchester United for one of the best goalkeepers available at the moment.

7:14Like the goalkeeping market right here, right now, what would your dream be? Okay, hey, Donnarumma, it's not going to happen. So yeah, look, Alisson's at Liverpool, Reyes at Arsenal, Courtois at Real Madrid. The great goalkeeper, Mark, it's not really accessible. So you're looking at the goalkeepers that are going to be the best goalkeepers tomorrow. And I think with Costa and Emi Martinez for the now, there are options there. So I just think that Fabrizio Romano said, Porto don't want to sell, Porto, you know, there's no deal with Galatasaray. but I also think there's no smoke without fire and clearly there is a deal that could be done with somebody like Costa there is a deal that can be done with somebody like Emi Martinez and I think as I said last night I think we've well I'm not going to say we've been proved right I'm not going to say that and that's a step too far but as I said last night there was a lot of stuff coming out about how Manchester United are unlikely to sign a goalkeeper and Manchester United are unlikely to sign a midfielder.

8:17And that's not what I was told yesterday afternoon. What I was told yesterday afternoon from this really good source is that Reuben Amrim wants a goalkeeper, wants a midfielder. It's well known in the club. I believe, and this is speculation, that the club want to back Reuben Amrim because they don't want to sack Reuben Amrim. And what they will have hopefully figured out is that if we start losing games with frequency and we start hanging around 10th place, the pressure will be there i mean you saw the article from the manchester evening news on on sunday after the game the player ratings were like we've lost three nil so they're ready the knives are sharpened and the media can manipulate parts of our fan base and when that fan base starts saying am i'm out you won't get them back so if sir jim wants patience and he wants time and he wants people to back his manager he has to back his manager there's no point saying to a fan base please, oh, end of the day, don't be Amrim out.

9:16You can't sit and tell an intelligent fan base, don't be Amrim out, back your manager, when the fan base can say, you didn't. And that's the big thing, isn't it? They want Amrim to be here for the next three to five years because that's cheaper for them. They can build a project and they want success, but it's going to take time. It will take time. And if you want a fan base to be patient, and if you want a fan base to back your manager, then they need to see a board that's backing him. Because subconsciously, if we go into this season and we know he wanted a midfielder and a goalkeeper and they didn't give it him, subconsciously, I'm thinking, why?

9:56Now, intelligent people would say, because we've got tight owners who are business-oriented, business-orientated, but you might also go, maybe they don't fancy him either. Maybe they don't want to spend the money on him. And then it becomes a problem. So I think with regards to Manchester United, they've got to get the cheque book out in the next two weeks. And I still expect it to happen. I think there's a lot of doom and gloom over the last 24 hours. And I understand that. These journalists are literally journalists. They're not Man United fans. They're paid by a bloody media outlet. That's how they earn their money.

10:31They're not free and independent. They're paid by people. and they're paid to write certain stories. I get that, but we're not. We can come at it from a fan point of view. And obviously, I could sit here and be really negative and say, oh, I think that's the end of the world, no more signings. But it's not what we're being told. And there are some good deals to be done. I think we're going to see some really good deals in the last two weeks of the window. You know, Crystal Palace are going to sell two players. Ezi and Guehi are going to go. Izak's going to end up at Liverpool. Man City might get Rodrigo.

11:04Who knows what Aston Villa, Newcastle and everything. There's going to be a lot of deals in the next two weeks. You're telling me, man, United are going to sit there and go, we've had a promising start to the season, but we lost. How do we turn that promise into wins and fit place? Well, you get a goalkeeper and you get a midfielder and you go for it. I mean, is this not the summer of going for it? Like literally, I've never known a top four. All of them go, let's let he go for it. Let's spend hundreds of millions of pounds. And United, we've got to do that as well. now just to bring you some of the negative stuff um this is coming in from lorry whitwell and the athletic again united will carefully weigh up whether to spend more money at a time when they need to make sales making a move for a midfielder is not guaranteed um also goes on to say as matters stand pursuing a new number one goalkeeper is not on the cards so look we're here about we're here for you know fair fair opinion and i think opinion fair opinion always has to be balanced absolutely you can be looking at that this morning as i said last night and you can be going boom and gloom it's over um no you know we're not pursuing we're not pursuing a number one goalkeeper and um it's not guaranteed that man united will get a midfielder but as i said i disagree from what i was told yesterday i trust that person we are still pushing on all fronts to get those players in who those players will be whether it happens it's not going to take long for us to find out and with every passing hour now not day every passing hour we're running out of time but the options are there i think if there's two weeks left you need a midfielder and there's nothing there you're sort of like going where are we going to pull this from there are so many people out there which brings me on to the midfield i am going to get into some of your comments and there's a few other things i need to talk about but really interesting updates there on emmy martinez and also on um hosta um keep your face on that i am going to talk about yulmland because that's more of a our own thing to talk about but i just want to talk about um uh this was what's this man united reportedly set for internal discussions over whether to move for another six before the September 1 deadline.

13:20The club have opted to wait at least another year before making a push for Belaber, though there's a strong admiration for Yulmland, who previously worked under Amarim. Wharton is also under consideration, but any move would need to be balanced against United's priority of raising funds through player sales. Belaber was seen as an opportunity, and a new midfielder is not guaranteed. Look, I think that story, whether we like it or not, has to be um acknowledged um there seems to be my i i think i'm i don't know about you i don't know whether some of you might tell me no i still don't understand it mark i i'm starting to understand the belabor mess or story or whatever you want to call it that two weeks of ornstein saying we're in for him and we all thought we were going to get him and then we walk away i think it was a punt you know i don't know whether anybody watches the nfl but sometimes the clock's running down you're in your own half this you know the seconds are dropping down and you just chuck the ball as far as you can and hope they call it a hail mary and you hope that someone's going to catch it and maybe get a touchdown or something um and the chances of it happening is slim and i think manchester united on the labor unfortunately publicized it that we were going to get him because i think everybody had a right to think we were going to get him when actually it was just a punt and um it clearly more more detail coming out this morning that the price that brighton were looking at was 110 man united offered half of that so i think that you know i don't even i don't even know what that means i really don't know what that means i mean what does it mean that are going to wait a year his price is going to go up like you either you with something that's going to go up in value you buy it like it's like a house if a house is a million pounds and you go i can only forward 600 000 we'll try again next year but the market would suggest that the house is going to get stronger because it's in a nice area it's going to go up in value so it's i don't know what united's point is on that but the discussion for alternatives why are we having discussions about alternatives on the 19th of august or the 18th of august because my overlay didn't work um yeah what is the 19th we've not gone back in time why are we having that conversation um i don't know that i believe everything that um that that comes out really because i think that sometimes sometimes you know i think that there There has to be, you know, these outlets have to write 10 articles a day.

16:07And sometimes you've got to create a story from pure opinion, I suppose. We do it on the United stand when the transfer window is closed. You'll talk about midfield, you'll talk about right back. So, you know, opinion, there's nothing wrong with it. But I think it does man United a discredit to say that we're going to sit and have a meeting, you know, less than two weeks before the end of the window about signing a number six. you know that that's like having a meeting about your building falling down tomorrow you know the building's falling down today so i think united will have alternatives um and it's about whether they want to go for them i mean remember we have loaned collier so we've weakened our midfield roster to four one of which is bruno fernandez who i don't think is a midfielder anyway so i think we will go for a midfielder who it's going to be it's going to be very interesting.

16:54I saw a story this morning, actually, about Angelo Stiller, plays for Stuttgart, midfielder, about£35 million. So whether that turns into anything or not, I haven't seen a massive amount of him, but let's be clear. I've said this a few times now. The Bundesliga has become the league for the Premier League now. I wouldn't say it's a feeder league, but you look at the volume of players that are coming in from there. I think in the past, maybe people thought Bundesliga, there's some good players there, but some have flopped in the past. I think there's a lot of people being brought in there. I mean, even Sunderland bringing Xhaka back from there, of course, but the big ones like Eketike, Seshko, there's a lot of players, Wurz, Frimpong.

17:39He's apparently a good midfielder, but he's... Can we have Ben Stiller instead? He is funny. He would bring a bit of comedy to the midfield, but um i think that it's uh people are talking about him being injured at the moment and then is it acl so i don't know i don't i don't know about that i'm just reacting to news on the news show here so um that's an interesting one but look i mean even i looked at this before i talked to you about the news on um on homeland i was looking at this article on football fancast the the day and if i can get it to like that even they listed up six people now i'm not saying we're in for them but stiller was one of them you've also got um

18:29why why am i not listed them now so maybe i'm on the wrong article here i've got it here let me just go to it because i know i've got bear with bear with did i drop it into there

18:50oh my god i think this laptop is on its last legs i really do

19:01oh god absolutely shit what's wrong with it hey right i'm gonna give it one last go and then i'm going to talk about homeland or i'm going to have to try and remember it definitely on its last legs

19:22there it is so six alternatives to belabor this was on the it wasn't it was on it wasn't on football fancast it was on tdr football so six alternatives here obviously homeland we're going to talk about in a moment uh stiller we've spoken about at stuttgart guerra at valencia um there is a lad at bilbao who i can never pronounce his name uh michael yalegiza and also kamara who many of you mentioned before at monaco and agumi at sevilla so i mean i'm not taking credit for that i'm not being a hipster but there's like six midfielders there and i'm not saying that every single one of those is a good alternative but there's six other alternatives that aren't going to cost you 115 million in fact you'll probably get all of those for under 50 million definitely under you know maybe even 40 million so there are alternatives out there and you have to move for alternatives because i don't buy the bullshit that we went for belabor we couldn't get him and we'll go next year i mean i i find that you i don't want to use the word moron because it is offensive um to thick people but i can't believe that there are united fans who actually are going well we'll just go for belabor next summer it's like it must be great being the the head of pr at man united when you can say yeah we didn't get belabor we'll go for him next summer yeah because as i said a few minutes ago he's definitely going to be cheaper isn't he's going to be he's going to cost the same and you're going to end up blowing your whole budget on a player that i don't even if we buy Belaba next summer, I'm sort of sat here going, why am I meant to be happy about that?

21:07So Brighton wants 100 million. They're still going to want 100 million next year. We need a midfielder now. And what you're telling me is you're going to blow all the budget next year on a play we needed now. I'm meant to get excited about that because next summer we'll need two or three other positions and you're going to blow our priority position this summer, next summer's budget on it so i um i think we've got to move now now the interesting thing just to bring it back to yulmland a minute and then i'm going to go through some other bits in your comments but bringing it back to yulmland for a moment um the general stance from well i haven't heard david ornstein say anything about it but the general stance coming out from fabrizio is that this would be a very difficult deal to do but i don't get worried about that because it's not like if i put out there that united are in for kamara at monaco and then someone asks for brizio do you agree with goldbridge and he goes yeah and it's such an easy deal to do you know it's just easy like any deal is going to be really difficult now with how long is left in the window so i don't really panic about oh it's you know it's going to be a difficult deal to do Wharton would be a very difficult deal to do Holman will be a very difficult deal to do they're all going to be very difficult deals to do because everybody's season starts or has started or starts this weekend I think the Bundesliga starts this weekend I think the Italian league La Liga as well has already started so every deal is going to be difficult for everybody you know Newcastle getting Whizzer for two weeks to go they'll get him but it's not easy because Brentford wants a replacement investment is that you know all these deals are difficult who bloody who cry me a river i don't care about difficult what i care about is money any if any deal is difficult when you don't have the money if you've got 115 million pounds the labor is a really easy deal to do if you've got 30 million pounds emmy martinez is a very easy deal to do so the difficulty we're going to have is yes there's two weeks left but the most important factor is what money do we have so when it comes to homeland obviously this is a player i just think in my opinion people are talking about adam wharton how do you get him out of palace when they haven't even sold ezzy and are they going to sell their three best players in the last two weeks of a window when they've just started the season quite well with a draw at chelsea i don't think wharton happens never say never i look at yulmland and i go okay reuben amrin wanted the labor maybe he was an opportunistic opportunistic signing with all the traits that amrin wanted but it's like you know with all due respect um i'm trying to think about you know kate winslet in the title i don't want to talk about this bitch um not kate winslet the person in what's her name what's the name of the girl in the titanic um rose or bitch i call it anyway to the bitch because she could have got him on the door you know but i'll never you know i'm never no one's ever going to defeat me on that anyway rose on the titanic it sinks if you haven't figured that out it's not a spoiler you're an idiot it sinks she gets on the door doesn't lay him on pretends that there's no room and then pretends to fall asleep so that he doesn't have to look at him dying from the freezing right she then is then he's then getting on her nerves because he's dead and frozen on the door so she pushes him off and pretends that she's bothered um but she did like him right he's gone now she's still i think she's about 19 she lands in new york starts singing concrete jungle where dreams are made of and then for the next few years and then she gets knocked up and married and has a great life because she's found her belabor alternative.

25:01So for Man United, we've got to be ruthless. We've got to be like Rose from the Titanic. If Jack is belabor and it's off, you can't just go, well, that was all I wanted. You still want to get out there and have a good time. And you've got to find an alternative. And I think in the world of alternatives because let's be let's be clear the labour is not going to happen it's too expensive um now or next summer apparently i think in the world of alternatives jungland isn't belabor but he is a very very good midfielder who is champions league proven who has played for amram in this system and is going to be easily half the price i think that's the deal you go and do so i think he's the most likely at the moment and i think he's the most logical at the moment and people talk about risk and i think he's the the least risk and i'm very intrigued by the simon stone update at the weekend where people close to him saying that you know he's looking for a move people all i'm getting is that porto are unlikely to sell two players in one summer but you know every deal is difficult and also we've got a very good relationship with sporting and also Amrim hasn't gone back to sporting and decimated them he hasn't took one player and to those people who say well it didn't work for Ten Hag it worked for Jose taking players that he had at Porto and Ten Hag didn't take the right players from Ajax if we're being honest and even then Martinez has been a good signing so I just think with two weeks left in the window So, Yulmland's the one to keep an eye on today.

26:50I don't believe Wharton. I mean, I heard, was it Rio talking again? Self-proclaimed director of football. What did he say? We've been talking about Belaber. He's been the hot topic for the last month or so. But before that, Wharton was one of the guys I was saying. Oh, God. He really does think that he produces. I think he thinks he's one of the world's best scouts of football. He was talking about Belaba. He was talking about Wharton. I've literally heard most of our fan base talk about Wharton for about 18 months. And I've heard most of you lot talking about Belaba since last autumn. So anyway, by the by, Rio apparently scouted Wharton.

27:33He's the nearest to Carrick type who's a controller who can play, who plays forward from that deeper position. He can be an eight if you need him to be and can run at times if need to be. but he's more of a conductor and can control things i watched him a couple of games last season against teams like man city and liverpool and he looks unfazed he looks ready for a big occasion he enjoys the pressure he can play under pressure um i think he's a fantastic footballer so rio's moved on from blaber already um to wharton um i like wharton i do like wharton but i don't think we're going to do that deal um i think he will stay at palace for another year and open up the options.

28:10And if I was his agent, I'd say, I wouldn't really be pushing for Man United in the last two weeks because you've had a really, really good season at Palace. The Euros are coming up, the World Cup's coming up. And I think next summer you can take your pick and you might even be on the... I've heard that he's... I've actually heard he's on the radar of Real Madrid as well. So I don't know who I would take between Wharton and Jormland at this moment in time. I don't river dance. I don't care. I think it's by the by, but they'd be both fantastic. And you've got to dare to dream. But I think Yuland is probably the one that makes the most sense.

28:54Now, considering we will need another midfielder next summer. So, you know, like with Seshko, we're looking at him and we're going, he's our striker and he's our striker for the next five years. And no, we're not going to buy another big striker. I think with the midfield we need one now and we need we need one next year because Bruno I think goes to Saudi Casemiro walks off to earn his money in Saudi or the MLS and we're two midfielders down so we need one now and we need one in the summer I think that's another reason why I'm convinced by the update last night that yesterday afternoon that we will get a goalkeeper in a midfielder and we are trying to get a goalkeeper in a midfielder because otherwise we're gonna have to buy two midfielders next summer and it's very rare that you can rebuild a whole midfield in one summer so logically yeah um let me just grab some of your points here because i feel i've been talking for a while and uh we've got 18 000 watching thank you very much um just on the goalkeeper thing i know some of you might have been a little bit late encouragingly look i accept people in the athletic are saying unlikely to buy a goalkeeper you've got a huge update from one of the best sources in argentina saying that what the amaran wanted Martinez and Martinez wants Man United, but the board went back Amorim.

30:08That means speaking about, because that source is really good and we know that we approached Villa. We haven't got a goalkeeper. What the hell are the club doing if they're not backing a manager who wants a goalkeeper? I mean, I would be more blunt than that. Amorim has wanted a goalkeeper since March. They haven't got him a goalkeeper and we've just lost our opening game of the season because the board haven't backed the manager. There is no goalkeeper in the Premier League that is going to make that mistake. It was so bad. It was so, so bad. I mean, I was listening to the analysis of the goal yesterday and it was absolutely spot on.

30:44From a technical point of view, he's got no awareness of Saliba. He's flat-footed when the ball's in the air. He does need to be on his toes. He does need to be scanning and he does need to be making sure that as that ball's trajectory is in the air, he gets it at its highest point with a punch. He gets it completely wrong and looks an absolute prat. As I said, I've seen butterflies be more commanding. So I think that Amman wants a goalkeeper. The board have not given him a goalkeeper. And now we're in a position whereby we have lost our opening game. So Costa is apparently available for 20 million euros plus add-ons.

31:26And Emi Martinez wants to come to United. So there's two options there as well as the men's. There's no excuse. And if they don't bring a goalkeeper in, they're not backing the manager. Matthew H says, forget, I'm a believer, I'm a wharf. Who does Jack, the guy pushed in the water, portrays to spin? Believer, left in the cold. Yeah, you know, he put his cards on the table. He's expressed his love for Rose and basically she's shafted him and he's in the cold. Yeah. I'm always wary of reports from the club and club journalists we've seen in the past that it's in both their interests to keep fans speculating united in the news is currency for both parties says Patrick and that's why I think we've been in this very fortuitous position this summer where we've been some would say unusually positive based upon the information that we've had and as I said I think most people over the last 24 hours would be taking these reports and being quite negative that there's not going to be any more signings but as i said as parada update yesterday afternoon man united amarin wilcox barada are still very much in the markets for a goalkeeper and a midfielder i think there's no point saying it's not going to be difficult because there's only two weeks left and god knows what the budget is but we are and i believe we will do business i just think that the brief is well you can you can take your pick mangan are not going to make any signings and then in two days time we do you know what's the best way to make people excited and happy lower the expectations get to bed you're not staying up to watch films on christmas eve and you're not getting any presents go to bed miserable upset well you know my life's rubbish wake up in the morning look at what i've bought you everything you wanted you're even more appreciative um that is a level of abuse don't do that to your kids or your wife or your husband because ultimately it's emotional abuse but in football it's fine and apparently in football it's fine to lower your fans expectations for a big bounce of positivity uh city buying nippan and lending him straight out also bringing sabino in last year selling him after one season what are united doing says marlow as lazy says i just want the burnley match to start so we can see if intensity we showed against arsenal was a one-time thing or beginning of something so slazy we have got fulham in between so i know you're talking about burnley that's game three fulham at the weekend collins says let's get martinez now if possible we get lemenz next summer when anana leaves lemenz has nothing useful to learn from anana if he comes in anyway would it make sense to sell Mainu to get a six, says Tech.

34:08I don't want Mainu to go anywhere. I'm obviously very disappointed that he's just not getting any minutes. And I think that's a conversation we can have. It's not transfer related, but we could have a conversation about Mainu in more depth on the eight o 'clock show because I think it's a great conversation. But I don't want him anywhere but Man United. But he can't get into the worst Man United side in Premier League history last year. And he's not getting minutes again. but it's hard to see where he the thing with mania is very very quickly and we can revisit it where does he where does he start like where does he start would it make sense to sell mania says tech with achievable quality options around it would be a crime not to get a goalkeeper this is spot on ian there is it's not an excuse there is so many options around look at the striker market we missed out on four or five targets and still got a good one and the same thing can be happening with the goalkeeper.

35:02Nick, thank you for joining the Members Club and getting your badge in. Really appreciate that. Like Schofield says, if we only have 55 million left, why aren't our scouts finding some steals abroad? Sally says, Mark, before we start shopping for new players, we need to hold a two-week clearance sale on the Prats we've already got at Man United. Frank says, well, I just think on the sales very, very quickly, I have nothing to add. I mean, obviously, I've heard the story. We spoke about it last night about Rasmus and Napoli. Nobody wants an honour. Sancho doesn't want to go anywhere. Anthony only wants to go to Betis.

35:33Garnaccio wants to drive the price down at United to go to Chelsea. We've wasted a hell of a lot of time on nothing. And even if Rasmus does go to Napoli, it's a loan fee. You would get about 5 million quid. So it just shows you, like, you've got Liverpool selling players that don't even get in their first team for 20 mil. And Man United are loaning first team players from last year for 5 million and, you know, paying half the wages for Anthony again. it's it's it's absolutely fundamentally awful uh can you do a head-to-head with all four goalkeepers martinez costa donary manana would like to see the comparison remind me frank i will do that on the evening show absolutely uh john united says i think the goalkeeper in mid-market is strong with plenty of choices but we've got to act now amram couldn't convince but the ender did sunday says steve another chance for me to support the united stand while also saying once again humlin will be a danish one man mcfred no to humlin says was he okay um gary neville was convinced we would get a keeper does he know something says light scofield well i mean look i don't know because i don't speak to gary neville but maybe gary neville is getting information that's similar to the one that we got yesterday that this all this talk of united not doing business we will i mean i don't like saying we will because that'll get come back but there's people out there saying unlikely and not going to happen i don't agree with it and most of the media saying unlikely and not going to happen and i don't agree with it we should take a punt on a young championship midfielder called charles is angling for more amram is a kid on christmas asked for a ps controller and a headset and on the big day he only got a ps then he gets shouted at for needing the control this is aiden and does costa being six foot one not worry anyone says william i think i think if he was five foot eight it would worry me i think if you're over six foot as a goalkeeper, he'd be fine.

37:28I think same team Sunday, but Ahmad Fadalos is Robert McCormack. He loves to get in there early, doesn't he, Robert? Yeah, first man at the bar, always sat at the front at the United Stands shows and he's given the team these for Sunday already. You were right last week, to be fair.

37:43I'd like to see Feshko starting, to be honest. I mean, I'm all... I don't... Ten Hag's the first one I remember doing it, but I don't like this. I've got a new signing and I'm not going to start them. Ten Hag always did it. Remember when we got Casemiro and we went away to Southampton, he starts McTominay. It's like, if you do that, you're basically waiting for a bad performance from somebody to bring the good player in. I just didn't get him in ASAP. And look, look at Jokeres. He didn't play particularly well for Arsenal, but he's got an hour under his belt in the Premier League. It'll do him the world of good.

38:14Shawnee, welcome to Members Club. I think so. I love Belaber, but you can change this United midfield for less. If you get Kamara, for example, in a year's time, you could have someone who's just as highly regarded. Things move quickly in football, says James. Mate, I completely agree with you that the price for the Labour at£100 million is extortionate. But my issue is, if I am the CEO or the head of development or the owner or the manager or the head scout at Man United, I'm calling a meeting before we brief Ornstein saying we're never getting in for less than£100 million. so do we really want to waste two weeks on this publicly whether you agree with the price or not you were never not going to pay that price and that's where i think we went wrong um if we can get edison from city for a reasonable price would you do it no i don't rate edison harry i've never rated edison um i think he's one of the most overrated top goalkeepers in the world ever i think he's decent but his reputation it's a bit like ruben diaz they're decent but they're not as good as people make out because simply, especially in the case of Edison, you're playing for a team that has less shots against them than anybody else.

39:31So you put Edison in goal for Everton and suddenly he's got to deal with three times the amounts of shots per game. I think he gets exposed. I think he's a decent goalkeeper with good distribution, but I don't think, you know, he ain't Van der Sar. He ain't Manuel Neuer. He's not Courtois. He's not Alisson. He's decent, but i just i don't rate edison that much harry to be honest with you um forget i'm a believer i've done that one from matthew h thank you okay let me just whiz back here please do smash a like on the video thanks everyone for tuning in i just want to quickly have a quick look there's somebody just said something and i want to make sure um oh yeah i mean the source is really crap uh les Seville Foot are saying that Manchester United are willing to offer 22 to 26 million that Agumi at Sevilla rather than go to his release clause of 35 million.

40:29I mean, look, I mentioned him, didn't I? Kamara, Agumi, Guerra, Stilla, Jumlin, Wharton, and the lad from Bilbao. There's six, seven alternatives. I don't know whether any of them are good alternatives I mean I guarantee you they're not all quick they're not all dribblers they're not all carriers of the ball like Belaber but then you know out of those six there's got to be somebody that adds something to a midfield that let's be honest has got a number 10 in it um a guy who's basically close to retirement in it a guy in Manu that we never see and a guy in Agate whose confidence is on his art is on the floor so you tell and also we've let collier go so surely out of one of those there is somebody um if this is a it for the transfer i wouldn't be surprised if amram starts using mount as an eight he's already into that set um and that's scary because to play as a number eight you've got to run more to play as a number eight you've got to be physical and the last thing you want from a guy that's barely played football in two years in their mid-20s is to ask them to make more physical challenges and run more so i think that would be terrifying um rgs says wouldn't we want rasmus going on loan getting game time and confidence no point in sitting around at united and being third or fourth choice further pushing his development back um yeah it's a great point um but i think that um

42:03yeah but what i would say is i don't think the development benefits anybody other than himself i think the united this is about leading to a permanent move next summer anyway so i don't think it's like development for the benefit of us it's not like sending obi out on loan to you know coventry city uh which i think would be a great move for him and playing regularly in the championship um i think some of these loans you know you're looking for a longer term deal how can Doak and Amari go for 30 million but Ganaccio is worth 25 to 30 to Chelsea says Admar exactly exactly it's it's absolutely crazy to be honest um apparently Jamie Vardy is emerged as a target for Napoli now uh Sancho spotted at Carrington yesterday apparently he left his PS5 controller in the dressing room um Douglas Luiz is apparently going to Nottingham Forest Leeds are going to sign Okafor from AC Milan uh Gennaccio remains a priority to provide competition with Gittins as natural options on the left wing Chelsea are in active talks with Man United in an effort to find a solution uh there we go I mean effectively he's going there as a backup to Gittins by the sound of it um more talk about Rasmus in Italy as well uh yeah interesting but uh look you know i i i sit here in front of you great people and um i'm glad we have the information that we got yesterday because otherwise i think i see a lot of negativity and a lot of depression again in the transfer window with two weeks to go we need a midfielder and a goalkeeper and the message from the client journalists of man united is that it's unlikely thankfully we have a different source closer to the training ground saying that amarin wilcox barada are actively working to bring a goalkeeper and a midfielder in um there's still time for those things to happen i personally also will add an opinion here as well i don't buy the bullshit that anana wasn't match fit for sunday and i know anana is clearly giving romano information in some way shape or form because we've had two updates from fabrizio since that dropping that anana understands it and feels that it's to do with fitness also anana was linked to inter milan last night and fabrizio spoke about it and said there's nothing in that um so i i think that there's been a bit of pr from anana's side that he wasn't dropped and he understands why he wasn't used because he's only just coming back from injury he was i know 100 capable of being in that match day squad and being on the bench so i think i am making a few assumptions bobby but you're allowed to make opinions i tell you what i know i tell you what's sourced and i tell you what's in the news this is opinion fabrizio has spoken a couple of times since anana's been dropped and it comes across as he's coming from Inanna's side.

45:12The first one was Inanna understood why he wasn't in the team and feels that it's to do with fitness. I don't think he was because he could have been on the bench, didn't need to be out of the squad altogether. Similarly, Rasmus could have been on the bench, didn't need to be out of the squad altogether. I think we all know to Rasmus, that's a message that you're not going to get many minutes so you might want to go somewhere else while the window's open. And I think, although it's a harder pull because you haven't got someone like Cesco up front, I mean, the equivalent to Inanna would be to have Donnarumma in goal.

45:46You could be in during goal. He underperforms. But I think there was a message there that I don't want you to be my goalkeeper. Please go. So I don't buy, just because it's coming in from Fabrizio, from probably Inanna's side, that he understood why he was dropped because of fitness. Bullshit. He could have been on the bench if it was fitness. So I think people maybe haven't picked up on it, but like Ganacho Sancho not being allowed to be in training, I think Amorim may have just tried a little bit of a message there that this is not the goalkeeper I want. And it could be to Inanna and it could be to the club as well, especially if it's true about that story that he wants Martinets and Martinez wants him.

46:36it cost us three points. But to be honest, I haven't heard anybody say if Inanna was in goal, he'd have made that punch because actually, I think he's probably one of the goalkeepers that would have made the same mistake. So I don't know. Maybe Inanna will be back in goal for Fulham. I'm not convinced. I think Hamrin might be sending a message that Inanna's not his goalkeeper, which is what we reported back in March. We'll see. George has been told to stop smoking crack. I haven't seen George's comment, but let me have a quick look. How is Bruno in Team of the Week? Not like that. I don't know what Team of the Week it is, but some people thought Bruno played really well on Sunday.

47:27The best thing I heard in the summer was somebody said, Bruno is our best player and worst player. And that's got levels because it's so true. I think Bruno is our best player, but I think he's being played out of position. And I think sometimes people will go, Bruno was absolutely shit because people are over the top. And sometimes people say Bruno is the best player on the pitch because people are over the top. He covered more distance than anybody. His heat map was every position on the pitch. So you can't argue with that. But disciplined, probably not. He's not a midfielder. um the pass he played into Mbema if Mbema had been fit would have been a great assist um I think I gave Bruno a 6.5 I don't think I think he was slightly above average I wouldn't have said team of the week and if Bruno was in team of the week then Dorgou, De Litz and Kunja would have to be in it but um I don't think he was terrible I thought he was okay but as I said my problem is I just don't think it's his best position.

48:28Kofta's too small we need a big keeper says Khan uh Shawnee Williams says I think we would go I feel we regret getting rid of Henderson well you you make a valid point but the biggest regret was getting rid of De Gea surely I mean golden David De Gea let me just break this down David De Gea won the golden glove he had more clean sheets than anybody in the Premier League we let him go for free and spent 50 million pounds on Inanna. We've done some bad deals. Sancho, Alexi Sanchez, the list goes on. But that, most clean sheets in the Premier League, multiple Player of the Year awards, in his early 30s, one of the best shot stoppers in the world.

49:20Yeah, we'll give you a new contract. He's on holiday. Clear his desk. Get rid of him. 50 million on Inanna. That isn't a regret. that my friend is a crime um people say we only turn up against big teams but again just for me what we see against arson is not just turning up against the big six it's a team progress i saw a team focus seth i cannot wait for the fulham game cannot wait for the fulham game i think it's just everybody i speak to non-united fans are like i was quite impressed with united at the weekend and that's your best verification and um all i keep saying is i think every united fan is happy with the performance but we lost um it's an irrelevant performance if we don't beat fulham and if we beat fulham and burnley it's a really good performance that led to those results so it all comes down to what we do against fulham because if we lose or draw against fulham or we play bad means nothing if we go and beat fulham three or four nil means everything so i'm just excited about fulham um right make sure you smash the like on the video and subscribe brilliant show this morning nice to be led on info that's positivity instead of following the mainstream as well which is good i'm still confident on a goalkeeper and a midfielder and more and more i'm starting still starting to think about emmy martinez i know it's a conspiracy theory but i am and i still think youngland's a possibility as well so we'll have to wait and see um i'm on the uh football terrace with terry with hot takes i love this show every more every tuesday at 11 o 'clock basically clips from the weekend i don't know what they are terry plays them out and i react to them with him so hopefully we'll have some uh right prats from the mainstream to react maybe ref watch or something like that i wouldn't be surprised if that's in there so tune in for that i'm just going to grab a quick coffee and then we'll be ready to go on that thanks everybody for tuning in i'll see you over there in a minute we're back at two o 'clock and of course the best show on youtube the eight o 'clock also also i can't say too much but from a community point of view if you like that's football as well something we're working on at the moment is the biggest thing we've ever done it's so exciting it's so exciting and uh i don't i can't even hint it because i don't think you'll get it but i was always a big you might get it if i say that it's just really exciting i just i just can't wait for it and um it's not quite there yet but i think it's going to happen and as soon as i know it's happening i will tell you about it it'd be great for the nightstand as well um but yeah it's really good really really excited um i will see you over on the football terrace at 11 o 'clock love hot takes and obviously we've got two o 'clock show eight clock show and exciting news coming in the next sort of 24 48 hours for the community as well i'll speak to each other in a bit take care
