163: Amorim's BIG Transfer Decision MADE!

0:00Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United transfer news this Friday morning. Thanks everybody who checked out the Fulham preview that went out at 2am and apologies for being a little bit late. We've got lots to get into on the show this morning. We're going to be talking about the latest in the last few minutes, dropping about Angelo Stiller of Stuttgart. We've also got the latest on Le Mennes who could be heading towards Man City. A load of nonsense coming out around Inanna. Updates on Anthony and on Rasmus Hojland as well. And the big thing is what the plan is.

0:35That is the interesting thing that we're going to start off with around the midfield and around what Manchester United actually are playing at. Because I think what is prevalently clear, prevalently clear, if that is a word, I've been, the reality is I'm late because I've been doing interviews with Sky. If you've seen me, I've been on Sky News. You know, there's New York Times, you know, I've gone mainstream. And the reality is I'm going to leave you all behind. we're going to change the format we're going to get a studio in london x players less shows more money i'm just going mainstream the plans worked and you know this was always just a rung on the ladder to me to greatness and uh you you know what you look you're even getting a 10 o 'clock show um basically i'm joking sarcasm doesn't necessarily travel away from uh certain regions i'm being sarcastic um i was actually late because i was working on the bundesliga show for later on which is going to be great which you're going to tune in for and yeah i rest assured nothing is going to change from the journey that we are on together we will continue on this journey together wherever it goes you and me the community united stand that's football we we move um so um so anybody who says you're going to change i would say nine which is no in germany um let's hit this great news to start off well great news breaking news latest news so basically we just had a drop from germany funnily enough um and it's not from me even though i am a bundesliga expert now this is coming in from florian plettenberg her sky germany journalist basically saying that the story around angelo stiller isn't actually true so i think that with regards to that um i'm of the opinion that it probably isn't true because he's based out in germany obviously with ben jacobs and others talking about stiller last night uh pletiburg basically saying this that um let me get the direct quote for you uh here it is the rumors linking manchester united with angelo still are wide of the mark there are no internal or external discussions nor any concrete plans regarding a move to manchester united um between now or deadline day he will go into this season with stuttgart his contract runs until 2028 top player so what what's actually going on there and i think it's very very clear that manchester united and look even fabrizio romano has been talking about the labor it's very very clear that manchester united want the labor and they can't get the deal done.

3:15So it's very, very clear that what's happening now since Belaba and the silence around Manchester United with a goalkeeper and a midfielder is, rightly or wrongly, and I would say there's pros and cons, rightly or wrongly, United are looking at a situation whereby you've got no way of knowing who we're going for because we're re-strategising what we're actually looking at. So I think it's difficult. Sorry, I'm just getting a message in here.

3:59I think what's happening is you've got United are clearly reassessing post-belabor what to do. And we haven't got the time for this, and the transfer window is running down. I completely appreciate that. But Angelo Stiller is a very different type of player to the player that we were looking at with Balaba. And also, so is Homeland. And I think what United are doing here is, it's very obvious that we don't have a massive amount of money in the midfield. And it's also very obvious that United are looking at what their options are in the final days in the midfield. So I would say that the door has closed on Stiller already, if we're being completely honest.

4:45The door on Wharton is effectively closed because they've just sold Ezi. They're going to sell Guehi. They're not going to want to sell him for the price that we're going to want to pay, even though he'd be a dream target. And you're probably wandering into a very, very similar situation with

5:06Homeland at Sporting in the sense that I don't think that deal is going to get done because of how long is left in the window and the price. I still hold belief that Man United will bring a midfielder in. And I'm absolutely convinced that the reason there's still a talk is coming out is because United are inquiring with players around a certain fee and a certain suitability. I don't think that Pletigold in Germany is wrong. I expect Stille to stay. And from a personal sense, it'd be great because he'd be in the Bundesliga and I've got Bundesliga rights. But no, I mean, look, if he's good enough for United, I want him to come and play for Man United.

5:46But if that deal is off, what are we looking at? and I think that the the here comes the panic buy says Kartik well I actually think the last few days from United suggest that maybe the panic buy won't happen I think it's more likely that the buy doesn't happen at all because if we are moving away from Balaba and he is a very distinctive profile of player and we're then looking at Stilla but that's not possible and we're looking at Yulman and that's not possible and we're looking at Wharton and that's not possible. It shows we're looking and it shows that we're taking our time. And I think in the past, as some people have said, we would normally go and start being very desperate.

6:33And I think essentially that's not the case because we're not being desperate at the moment, but in not being desperate, panic and patience will run thin and panic will increase. it's difficult. I'm a firm believer, and I don't know about you, I'm a firm believer that we are going to need a midfielder. I don't believe that we shouldn't do anything, but I also believe it's got to be the right player. So I look at the Stiller story and look, probably not going to happen. But as I said last night, I like the profile of player. It's very different to Belaber. And you've got to take the time with Amirim and Wilcox and whoever else is in bowl to sit down and go right we didn't get the labor do we leave it as it is to which i think ruben our rim is going to go no we don't leave it as it is i desperately do need a midfielder okay there is nothing out there like the labor what about someone like stiller what about someone like yulmland what about someone like wharton and you cross all three of those off because you can't get them then what do you do and there are people in the chat going let's just leave it and wait till the summer and to be honest look this is a latest update from fabrizio i don't want to be misquoted on this um what did he say about the labor um something in here uh united have an excellent connection with the labor and his agent the club will maintain his name very high on their list and they will really try again for him in the future i mean that worries me that worries me because that's sort of like we didn't get the labor in the summer that we needed him so we're going to wait till next summer.

8:10And next summer, Balaber likes us. Balaber and his agent like Man United at the moment because we're the only buyer in the shop. If you were in a shop and you've got a prized asset and you want to sell it, and Man United are the only people who walk into the shop, you're going to like them. Take my number. Oh, you can't afford it at the moment. I mean, look, at the end of the day, let's be honest, Balaber is a very, very expensive watch. bang united have walked in and said we'd love to buy that watch and they you know brighton have said no you can't have it because it's not uh you know you can't afford it and united have said well next year we think we can afford it we think we will be back um and then united go back next year when they've got the money but someone else walks in the shop i don't trust or believe the belabor story to be honest with you um that's you know not what i believe so i think that i think there's an element of concern about the belabor let's go back because i think what does that do for us now you know what does it do for us now it's like your roof's leaking and the plumber you want to use isn't available for six months well i need to plug the leak now mic drop they're all just here they're here they're just naturally here mic drop i mean that that's it isn't it you know the person that's going to come and fix you fix your leak might be a really good really good at their job you really want them but they're not available because they're too good you've got to get someone to fix the leak and i think united i'm not going to criticize united because i genuinely think that they are trying to bring a midfielder in but if we don't bring a midfielder in i think that's when the criticism starts it's a difficult job but then I think those of you who are unsympathetic would say why are we going for Belieber with three weeks in the window left anyway and why we left ourself with nine days left in the window to get a midfielder so yeah still it doesn't look like it's happening according to German sources where do we go next in a way I see a positive that we are looking for people but in a way I also look at the days ticking by um with regards to the goalkeeper interesting story coming out this morning about lamens obviously uh we had ben jacobs on the show yesterday saying that lamens is still an option for manchester united um sacha tavalieri who is a belgian journalist um i don't know i know the name but i don't know i don't know i can't think off my head if he's ever been credible um manchester city are now exploring a move for lamens who's been linked to manchester United.

10:53I mean, this is just frustrating because I saw somebody sent me something today. Jamie Jackson, Man United have held talks with... Man United have told clubs who have inquired about Andre Inanna that he isn't going anywhere and Inanna is aware of that. I've never heard such shit in all my life. I don't know whether that's been taken out of context because I'm reading it on UTD exclusive, but that basically reads to me that clubs have inquired about Inanna and Man Man United have said he's not for sale. And that's why Inanna doesn't want to go. I've never heard such shit in all my life. It's just not true.

11:27If Man United had somebody ring up and say, we're interested in Inanna, right? You know what they'd do? They'd get hold of Gary Neville and say, you know that lovely hotel in Manchester City Centre? Can we have the penthouse suite? They'd get in contact with the best restaurant. They'd do stadium tours. They would wine and dine these people. to get the deal done. I mean, no way Man United, I mean, you know what I love about the update? Man United have told clubs, not club, clubs, you know, acting like there's more than one. Man United have told clubs who've inquired about Anana, who ain't going anywhere.

12:07This is horseshit. I'm sorry. This is the sort of bullshit spin that makes people forget the truth. We are going to be stuck with Anana because nobody wants him. We are not keeping Anana. I mean, medically, what would be wrong with these clubs if they were queuing up to sign this goalkeeper as well? I mean, the biggest of bullshit. I mean, you need a bloody... I'll tell you what, that is such bullshit. I'd love to see the bull that crapped it out because that's some big bull. You know, this is a big bull. You know, this is massive. Yeah, look. Man United approached Aston Villa for Emi Martinez.

12:47Fact. fact manchester united have been in talks about lamens fact manchester united set a price to monaco for anana fact don't bullshit us with man united have told loads of clubs that anana's not for sale it's just it's about it's about spinning a positive on an absolute bag of shit you know it really is it's like spraying perfume on it and saying do you want this bag of shit we are not telling clubs that an honor is not for sale because clubs are not knocking on the door basically so absolute nonsense um on the goalkeeper though look if what do you want me to say if le mens ends up going to manchester city are we really gonna lose it no because if le mens ends up going to Manchester City, we are powerless because we are not acting in that way.

13:44Manchester City could still buy Donnarumma and Rodrigo after a very good summer transfer window. Liverpool could still get Isaac and Guehi on the top of a very good transfer window. Chelsea could still go and get Xavi Simons, who will be playing for Leipzig on the stream we've got tonight, fantastic player, and Ganacho. And they've all had really good summers and they're still looking to buy two really good players each. Arsenal are announcing Ezi today. We can't even get holes in our team filled. Those Arsenals, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpools, they're spending millions of pounds on squad players.

14:23We can't even fill holes in our starting 11. So if Le Mens went to Man City, what do you want me to do do you want me to go i can't believe it oh get out i would sit here and go it's very very disappointing but i can believe it because we're not solving the problems in our team because there's still a football club that it really is no matter how much you try and swim to the surface i would liken man united to this we're drowning we're literally drowning and even if you want to agree and i think in certain set certain elements i would agree we are trying to swim to the surface whether you think that's barada amarin wilcox the gym whoever i think there is a desire to swim to the surface but there's a hundred percent two three four five six seven people grabbing hold of the ankles and pulling us down and that's where we are as a football club at the moment we we just can't get there now hopefully in the next nine days we can um if not in the next nine days hopefully in the next year or so but we are still very very um hindered by an inability to do what needs to be done so look on the goalkeeper and on the midfielder who knows what's going to happen there's definitely a desire to do things but we're definitely going to start getting the bullshit spin about anana's not for sale being there's not for sale we're happy with the squad we've got it's inevitable because what what what you know Reuben Amorim is going to get asked these questions.

15:51And at some point he's going to drop the update we don't want. At some point he's going to get told we're out of time. We can't do these deals. I hope that's not the case. I hope we will get the deals done, but at some point he may get told they're not going to happen. And when you hear him in a press conference saying, I'm happy with what I've got. I'm happy with my goalkeepers. I'm happy with my field. That's when you've got to worry because that means the club are basically saying we ain't getting anything else. And that's when it becomes a problem so i think with the midfield like i say the update on stiller not happening um the update on wharton not happening the update on a goalkeeper not happening but i think that we definitely are moving and looking at options but how quick you know even if we find an option how quickly can we move i mean look personally i'm still very locked in on emmy martinez not playing against brentford tomorrow and then he comes to man united in the next week but that's ridiculously quick turnaround and it's a it's a conspiracy theory um i'm still of an opinion we could get yulman from sporting but where's the money and how can you do that when they don't want to sell i think we're running out of time and um whilst i still believe that we're working hard to try and get something done you have to acknowledge the window closes in a week and a half a week and a half a week and a half like a week and a half bloody hell uh anyway let me get into some of the news then i'm gonna get into some of your comments as well so uh the deal for ganacho to chelsea is going to happen says fabrizio romano i wish it just bloody would uh fener bache this is coming in from espn brazil fener bache have entered the race for anthony with everything and communicated in the last few hours that they're willing to pay the 45 million euro requested by man united however anthony is not fully convinced on a move to turkey this is coming in from espn brazil well whether it's true or it's not i think it highlights the reality that we have had decent offers for anthony which we would accept and he won't accept them so think what you like about anthony and look i've seen the pictures cunha's been around his house for a meal in Manchester.

18:04He's a nice guy. But in relation to Manchester United, my priority is not whether Anthony is a nice guy. My priority is how are you treating Manchester United and therefore the fans of Manchester United, many of us which have supported you, you're behaving like an absolute prat. You've been paid 200 grand a week for three years. Three years. We get you on loan to Betis where you actually have a glow up and then you don't fuck off. You then sit there and go, I don't want to go anywhere other than Betis. I mean, this is the summer where football has changed so much. We've seen Liverpool win the league and then go and spend half a billion.

18:41We've seen everybody else spending loads of money to get back in the Champions League because it's big, big money. We've seen a club world cut, which confused many of us, but you made a hundred billion if you won it. And we've also seen players who now are not open to any other move than the move that they want to an extent that they will sit on their ass for two months, missed preseason and the start of the season. And remember, this is not Anthony holding out for Real Madrid. This is Anthony ignoring decent offers in Turkey and Spain and even the Bundesliga to go back on loan to Betis, back on loan to Betis, where we will have to pay half his wage.

19:17Nah, nah, don't, don't, don't try and spin that as any, it's funny, Anthony and spin. Don't try and spin that into anything other than madness. Absolute madness. He is sat on his arse, wasting the window away so he can get his own way. And his own way is Real Betis not paying for him, but is paying for him to go to Spain and play for Betis. Last time I checked, you know what? I'd ring Betis up and say, if you want Anthony and you want us to pay half his wages, you better sell your fucking club to us. Because the last time I checked. You're not a feeder club of Man United and we don't own Real Betis.

19:55But if you want to do that, then by all means, sign this contract. You can have Anthony. We'll give you a couple of other players as well. But the last time I checked, you are not a feeder club of Man United. So why the fuck are you acting like it? Why are you getting one of our players to run down this window to force us to send you back him so we can pay half his wages to do it? We're in debt. We haven't won the bloody title in what 11 12 years we're not in europe at what point do you think we're going to be happy with paying half of the wages of a player to fuck off back to spain and do what he wants what about what we want and i tell you what it's pissing me off xanjo pisses me off ganache pisses me off but so does bloody so does so does anthony well there's offers out there where we can just get rid of him and betis can't afford his wages this is the thing that people don't talk about They can't afford to buy him, but they can't afford his fucking wages either.

20:54They just want their cake and eat it. And the problem with Anthony is people go, it's only one more year of this. He's still got two years left on his contract. So we might have this again next summer as well. Rashford's still got a few years left on his contract.

21:13So it is frustrating. But what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Let me just get into some of your comments. let's have a quick look um what about hackney gary great bruno replacement turned down uh ipswich um you know what stephen the thing about hayden hackney is it's a little bit like all those guesses out there who pretend that they've got info hayden hackney's been mentioned i see hayden hackney as a fan target um and i saw belaber as a fan target now the minute ornstein said Winford Belava, that's when it gets real. So I'm not disputing the talents of Hayden Hackney, but the only people I've ever heard talk about Hayden Hackney is you, who I respect, and people who pull stories out their ass, who I don't.

21:59So until the day David Ornstein or someone like that says Man United run for Hayden Hackney, I just think it's an absolute waste of time. Now, in the last few days of the window, maybe that will happen. Is he a suitable player for what we're actually looking for would you pay Hayden Hackney next to Bruno Fernandes in a Premier League midfield I think that's a hell of a stack up no matter how talented he is and I think what we're looking for is a player that can go in next to Bruno and play against Man City and Chelsea after the international break and that's the problem because Amram needs results uh hi Mark do you think uh Mount and Bruno midfield all works as Ashton I think that sounds like I'd rather have Ant and Dec.

22:38Hey, bloody hell. Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes in a midfield too. Ashton, I think it would be a bloody, I think it would be a bloodbath and not for us. I mean, I think I would be absolutely shit if I'm being honest. I think Mount can do a job where Bruno is, a job, put him together, bloody hell. It's like putting Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski at centre-back. It'd be a bloody nightmare. I get taking our time to find good deals, but we haven't even started talks with anyone yet, which is concerning, says John. Yeah, we're running on out of time. You know, there's no other way of putting it, John.

23:12I wonder whether lamens to City means they aren't on Donnarumma anymore, says Stephen. I think they'll end up with Donnarumma. I do. Man City are all about status and Donnarumma's a status signing, isn't it? Liam Brown says, is it possible Amorim would sabotage the first games of the season to prove a point and make Jim realise we need a holding midfielder and a keeper? Well, it's possible, Liam. it's not reality um we played very very well against arsenal and there's no way you could sabotage that game because there were so many times we could have scored goals and the under would have to be in on it to do what he did so um no i i and i think that would be massively unwise to throw games because he's under pressure he's got to he's got to win games other check the preview out um that went up last night that for fulham this is a win a game he has to win um Um, you know, I'm not, well, I am, you know, it's Manchester United.

24:07He has to beat Fulham on Sunday. Otherwise, no point playing well and losing. And then the next game playing shit and losing because playing well last week means nothing. He's got to win against Fulham. Chip says a Belieber type of profile made sense, but buying a more cultured ball playing midfielder like Stiller puts Maynou even further down the pecking order. Matthew says we are a midfielder away from a good season. I'd include a goalkeeper in that. Do you think further signings depends on results on Sunday? If we get run through in the midfield, we buy. If not, we won't. Dangerous way to do it, says Dan.

24:42It's the ridiculous way to do it, Dan. It'd be desperate, Dan. I think you can never rule it out. Results dictate action. But if we're deciding on signings on a result against Fulham, I mean, imagine how naive that is. Imagine you beat Fulham and Burnley and you don't make signings and then you come back from the international break and you get smacked up by Chelsea and Man City and you've lost three of your first five and the window's shut. So we absolutely should not be taking any notice of Fulham and Burnley results because even if we win those one loss in three, the window will be closed to Chelsea and Man City.

25:23Lose both those and you look a right mug, don't you? How much would it take to bring McTominay back, says PMC? Well, it'd be stupid. so I don't really care. Mark, congratulations on your new deal. Simon Jordan praising you wonders never cease. You'll deserve all the success and your content is always 10 out of 10. You're a lovely scholar and a gentleman, Bounty Hunter. Thanks very much for your super chat. Hopefully you'll be joining in with us. Remember United Standard is at six o 'clock tonight because we're live on Mats Football at seven with the official Bundesliga livestream. We will have the footage.

25:54We're very excited about that. Is there any midfielders from Leipzig? not that we can go and buy. No. They brought a couple of midfielders in this summer, but they're not available. And I think what they've got in their midfields is a couple of Austrians who, no, we're not going to be looking at. We won't be looking at. There's nothing there. There's plenty in Bayern's midfield, but we're not going to be going there either. I'm not going against taking our time, but we do need a centre midfielder or a goalkeeper. We don't do it now. it won't be until next season as we never buy in January. I'm surprised we don't look for some loan deals like in the past, says Patrick.

26:33I'm with you, Patrick. I don't support the opinion that if you can't get the labour now, let's wait till the summer. That's the sort of thing you do under Sir Alex when you've just won the league. No, we need to go and get something now. Let's see what we do. And ultimately, the club have exposed themselves that they've got money. They have exposed that they've got money. So because they were going to spend some money on the labour. Luke Shami, welcome to Members Club. Thank you very much for supporting us and getting your badge in. Can you see us pivoting to Edison's as Visco? I mean, I think that's a very interesting name.

27:18A very interesting name. A very expensive name. Atalanta are very difficult to deal with. I would say it's very slim, but I think any midfielder that you mentioned is very slim. I mean, Wharton's impossible. Shulmland is very slim. Edison would be very slim. So where are we going to go? I mean, there are plenty of other names out there, but I can't see us doing a deal with Atalanta in nine days. No. Are you partial to a bit of German sausage as Matthew Gartell? A bit early for that. Congratulations, Marks. says Shin. I personally don't like any of the midfielders mentioned. Midfield should be thoroughly analysed.

27:58Short term, says Jacob. I will be annoyed long term. It's smart, says Jacob. Guten Morgen, says Fenerbahce, says Jordan. Fenerbahce apparently willing to meet 45 million euros for Anthony on X this morning. Yeah, we've discussed that. Thank you, Jordan. I'm sorry, I'm just going through these, so you probably said it before we spoke about it. Hope you're having a good day. Stefano says, did you see the story about Inanna potentially returning to winter i saw it in an article from the sun so i don't think it's true you've answered your own question there stefano don't anybody get excited liam says marked with a new presenter on match of the day they have their chance they have their chance uh you made simon jordan bow down says mma takedown i'm sure there'll be a i'm sure simon will be back with his normal coverage very very soon uh love your show united to win on sunday says don rick yeah we do i'm very excited about it hope we were and gaz says interesting fact every time a grand theft auto game has been released man united won the league next year gta 6 is out says gaz we're 100 going to break that streak uh you know the undertaker did lose at wrestlemania and man united are not going to win the league for gta 6 it's just not going to happen i mean i'm not saying it would be the same as when leicester won it but in a way it would be ridiculous it won't Chris welcome to members club thank you very much for that uh you know why I know we won't win the league because Arsenal are going to be up there and they've already beat us at Old Trafford and we're not going to win at the Emirates so even if we were going to win the league one of the contenders has already got six points on us so we're not winning the league uh Chris thank you welcome to members club you're a legend congratulations Mr Bridge on your new deal you're a great UK's greatest export says Ike god haters are going to hate now Visco says the Turkish window closes on the 12th of September Should we block the Betis move and force him to go to Turkey?

29:48Says Visco Look, I think in relation to Sancho Ganachev and Anthony They're immensely irritating, selfish people And they've not got any interest in Man United or his fans Bullshitters I mean, this is the Anthony that was kissing a Man United badge Against, was it, Newport County? And now he's sitting on his arse, probably kissing a Betis badge like he probably kissed an Ajax badge before he went on strike there he's effectively on strike at Man United let's be honest um but do I want to force these players to you know stay at the club I mean at the end of the day part of me I'm very pissed off with them I think you learn the lesson and you piss them off yeah so you get rid of them um you know people say don't let Ganacho go to Chelsea on the cheap and the alternative is yeah you let him rot in the reserves it's vindictive he probably deserves that but then part of me just goes just learn the lesson learn the lesson and never put yourself in this position again get rid of them basically uh au says breaking news florian pletzenberg rumors linking man united with angelo stirrer wide of the mark it's not quite breaking news mate because we've already covered it but yes uh stephen swift speaking about hayden hackney there as well let me have a quick look because there's some other stuff coming in um Yeah, just quickly on Rasmus.

31:09Romano has been talking again. Rasmus wants to stay at Man United and fight for his place, but Amram sent a clear message by not bringing him on against Fiorentina and not involving him against Arsenal. Probably has got no choice to leave. Wants his deal to include obligation because he wants to feel confidence that his new club wants a permanent move. I completely get all of that, by the way. I think, you know, as a footballer, you want, especially when you're only 22, You want to feel a sense of purpose to your career, unless you're a bloody ganacho who just wants to sit on his arse. But no, seriously, he will want to feel a sense of purpose.

31:48But, you know, time is running out. Time is running out. There's no doubt about that. Lenny Yarra is wearing pink boots. Yeah, but Lenny Yarra is not Phil Jones. Winning team photo as well. Great. Look at that. Winning team. Bruno, Casemiro, Leon, Evan, Embermo, Yaro, Binder. Fucking winning team. You know what? Even if we were winning the league and putting winning team pictures out from training, I'd still say it makes me feel sick. I am absolutely distraught by winning team photos, to be honest with you.

32:39three years of casimero today mark

32:47uh luckhurst in the manchester evening news is saying that reuben amory is giving serious consideration to recalling manana against fulham source say a demotion for being that could kill his confidence um well you can check out my opinion on that on the preview so there we go um yeah three years of casemiro well as i mentioned the other day three years of casemiro i mean look if i'm being completely blunt the fact that casemiro has just skirted under the radar this summer is a clear indicator of what a failure our sales have been i said after the europa league final that some of those players should never wear a man united shirt again that game wasn't just the game that was like it was a get out of jail free card like the season to finish 15th in a man united shirt is absolutely embarrassment you know that's on your wikipedia page forever to be part of that squad and come back this season smiling is laughable like i i don't get the modern footballer you just shout out the worst Premier League season by a very long way in a Man United shirt and you roll back smiling I want to see determination anger and frustration from the players this season but the Europa League final was separate to that shithouse of a season and they shit all over Bilbao it was absolutely and not in a good way it was a horrific final an absolute shit show it amazes me that none of the players you played in that final have been sold none of them none of them been put for sale none of them have been none they're all still here so the failure to remove Anthony who wasn't part of last season or Rashford who wasn't part of last season or Sancho who wasn't part of last season or Malassia who wasn't part of last season is why we've not even looked at the players who were part of last season and obviously Ganacho was part of last season he's the only one we're trying to get rid of and he's certainly not the responsible one He was one of them, but he's not the responsible one.

34:46He didn't even start the final. But I think people like Casemiro, very, very fortunate that we've been so crap at selling players because I can't believe that we've not got rid of any players from last season that were part of that shit show. And not all of them need to go. I mean, I saw the interview with Harry Maguire where he said a lot of clubs inquired about him and the club said it was a flat no. I understand why you'd want to keep Maguire for another year. But in the case of Casemiro, three years of Casemiro at 350k a week. I'm sorry, flop. Clip it, flop. Start the conversation, get it on TikTok, get it on Insta, get it on Shorts.

35:22Flop. Three years of Casemiro, flop. Fact. 350K a week, 60 million pound transfer fee, three years down the line, flop. If you want a definition of a flop, that's a flop. If we've got him on a free transfer on 150 grand a week, it's a different conversation. but 350 grand a week, 60 million pound transfer fee. And three years later, flop has to be a flop. The first season, I thought he was player of the season, but one season, one season. And let's not forget, we've got another year of him as well, because he won't leave. He's running his contract down. I like Casemiro. And this is the niche of having an opinion on people that isn't personal.

36:06it's just football it's just business i suppose i can assess a player after three years and it has to be a flock if we'd have moved him on and got i don't know 30 million from saudi to last summer i might have said it wasn't too bad but every day he stays at the club extends the flock to be honest unless he has the greatest season he's ever had which clearly i don't think it's going to happen um but look i like casimiro i can also say that over the last decade i put him up there with rodry and kimich as the two best holding midfielders in the world

36:51but he's not that player anymore we caught a year of it talks um do you think bruno should start all the games for 90 minutes all season even if he is bad we should we should have took the 100 million and welcome to members club columbus as well and chris henrickson uh i'm hoping that the manager is going to give um i'm hoping the manager is going to give um many minutes and you know distribute the bottom line bruno shouldn't be playing every minute of every game and sense midfield. I don't think it helps our midfield. I'd love to see Bruno playing as a number 10. I've said that before, but would I have took the£100 million for him?

37:40I mean, look, it was an easy decision for me in June. If Bruno is going to be our number 10, I don't think I'd do the deal. If he's going to be our number eight, I think I do do the deal. That was at the start of June. With nine days left in the window and we don't have a goalkeeper and a midfielder, would I have took£100 million for Bruno? Come on. There's a bear shit in the woods. I mean, come on. Would I have took£100 million for Bruno in June if he's going to be a starting midfielder? Of course I bloody would. We haven't got a goalkeeper and we haven't got a midfielder that we need. And that would be the money to do it.

38:18So as I said at the same, love Bruno, best player, don't like him in the midfield, would have been the ultimate sacrificial lamb to a rebuild that we clearly need what we're actually going to end up doing is going into a season with a guy that's probably going to go in a year's time and not have the rebuild we need and we desperately need the rebuild and the rebuild was five players minimum and the rebuild was a midfielder and a goalkeeper so what we actually are going to do is going to have people like casemiro and bruno in our midfield who are both going to go in the summer so we're basically putting the rebuild on hold for a year, aren't we?

38:52And time waits for nobody in football. We should have had five signings minimum, and we've got three. We should have made six or seven sales minimum. We've made none. So I think unfortunately, unless something big happens in the next nine days, we're going to go into this season flipping a coin on, is this team good enough to get fifth? and if not we're still building next year um sold seduction says what's the deal with the bundesliga is it live match or it's a watch along well if you go to that's football you can watch premier league predictions with me and robbie for the weekend and you will also see live match on the thumbnail so it's not watch along because we put watch along when it's a watch along live match means we've got the live match so if you think back to my fifa career mode where the game's the game's on and i'm in a little box on the corner i'm a man in a box um that's what it'll be so when the match is on you will have full of that uh romano on lemans let me have a look on this oh we like a bit of life we like a bit of life please don't let it be please don't let it be to do with...

40:09All I'm going to say is I've not read this yet. Please do not let it be to do with Man City. I'll lose my shit. Oh, it's not. Understand, Manchester United are still working on deal to sign its lemens, talks underway. Personal terms are almost agreed and Man United are in active talks for the Belgian keeper. Man United try to anticipate more clubs from France and Italy, also based on exit. This is a huge update. This is great news. Great news. Absolutely great news.

40:47Yeah, that is absolutely fantastic.

41:02So I'm just getting a bit of confirmation here. so breaking news on the morning show Fabrizio Romano understand Manchester United are still working on deal to sign laments talks underway personal terms are almost agreed and Man United are in active talks for the Belgian goalkeeper Manchester United trying to anticipate more clubs from France and Italy also based on exits so look there's a few kickers in there but this is really positive and this is what i mean well done to you and to me what did i say on monday man united are actively looking at goalkeepers and midfielders loads of the people in the know and journalists etc were saying unlikely to get a goalkeeper unlikely to get a midfielder and yet our brief on monday was that united are very actively looking at goalkeepers and midfielders no guarantees but then they've not given up hope.

42:03And here you go. On a Friday, Man United are in talks with Le Mendes. Now, a lot of people are saying, would you be happy with that? Meltz says we should have gone for Le Mendes from the start. Honestly, with nine days left in the window, getting a goalkeeper in is Christmas. Now, it's not going to turn... You get Emi Martinez, you get Donnarumma, that has the potential to knock your transfer window from a five to a seven. And then a midfielder can knock you up to an eight. LeMens comes in from Royal Antwerp. He's basically, at best, David De Gea from Atletico Madrid. He's a young goalkeeper with potential.

42:40But I don't mind that. I said that in January, and many of you agreed with me. I don't mind bringing in another De Gea. Because ultimately, if you're offering me a Nana and Bienda, or a young De Gea, and I don't mean he's like De Gea, I'm saying that he's a goalkeeper that's got potential to be world-class. I don't mind that now obviously it doesn't always work out you look at Chelsea they've tried it with a few goalkeepers and it hasn't worked out other other clubs have tried the younger goalkeeper and it doesn't work out but it's better than Anana and it's better than Bienda and I'd rather be in a position with a goalkeeper that is technically good and what I've seen and been told and read about Lemenses is that he's a technically talented goalkeeper he can come for crosses when he makes a safe he knows to twist his arm and his wrist and put it out for a corner um he's a good shot stopper now obviously he's going to make mistakes and we as a football club have to embrace and protect him which i trust us to do if you buy a if you buy a goalkeeper like the men's he's not the finished article he will be nervous he will make mistakes the same way david degea did but i'd rather have that than what we've got now ultimately i would rather have emmy martinez walk in and be brilliant from day one, experienced leader.

44:01But if we can't do that, we've got to do something else. And it's exactly the same as the midfield. Of course, I want the labour. He would have been perfect. But if we're not getting the labour, then you've got to get something else because you can't get nothing. So for me, it reminds me of Chex, says Joe. I mean, I don't know enough about him, but I absolutely do not want to hear, oh, I'm not happy with that. because the alternative would have been, you're not happy with Biinder and Inanna. We've got to replace our goalkeeper. You saw Biinder against Arsenal. He cost us three points. You've seen Inanna for two years.

44:35He isn't technically good enough. So look, maybe, maybe Inanna or Biinder are number one and Lemens comes in and gradually pushes them out. Maybe that's the way it goes. Maybe he comes in and he's number one straight away. But this is great news that we're in talks. Am I worried about clubs from Italy and Spain or France? No. with all due respect i'm not worried about them unless it's real madrid or barcelona i ain't worried about them um am i worried that we've got to sell to buy i mean look we've got to sell anyway so you know this is what i mean like as as bad as it sounds when you're buying a goalkeeper for what 15 million getting getting 5 million and rasmus's wages off the off the off the off the wage bill probably gets you laments that's how sad it is loaning rasmus and getting his wage bill off the bit off off for a year probably gets you laments so this is the problem when you can't sell rashford you can't sell anthony you can't sell sancho and you can't sell ganapcho but we may we may we may need to get the money in from rasmus to get laments but at the end of the day we are are Manchester United and we are a football club that, you know, is going to be very, very attractive.

45:49So this is great news. You know, I've expected it and it's great, great news.

45:56I'm going to look here. I don't know why.

46:02Let me just message this person.

46:17so yeah breaking news for britzio romano lamens and manchester united let's see how that develops active talks and working on a deal um i'm happy with that i'm happy with that look i still still would say and this is a this is the biggest tom brady 60 yard hail mary at the end of a game in the Super Bowl, it probably won't happen. But Brentford play Villa tomorrow. If Emi Martinez doesn't come back into that team, I think it gets very interesting. I think he probably will get picked against Brentford. But if he didn't, maybe, maybe that could be something. But you've got to be dealing with something else.

46:58And I think Lemans, in a way, makes sense. Lemans makes sense. So I'd be very, I'd be, I'm not going to say I'm going to be ecstatic about it because I want a goalkeeper that's ready for, I remember saying this in January, I personally felt that United would go down the route of a younger goalkeeper to push Anana out over 12 months because I didn't think Anana was going to go. now an honor won't go and he probably won't be able to get a move in nine days but i think over the next 12 months he might figure out that he's not going to be the goalkeeper and start to look for a move in january or something like that look an honor doesn't want to be an honor doesn't want to go and he won't take the hint so he needs to be pushed out the door and it might be longer than nine days but this sort of a goalkeeper sort of unsubtly pushes him towards that door but he will need a bit of time uh would pavlovich from bayon amazing midfielder says elvin he is good he's a bit injury prone though isn't he and also um i don't think bayon are gonna let him go um but uh yeah excited like nice to get some exciting news while we're live terry's live i'm gonna push you over there in a minute because ben he's live with ben jacobs so i'll push you over there in a moment i just want to double check uh have you got shows on today we've got amram's press conference about half past one and then i'm live with you at six and then don't miss out on the bundesliga live game tonight on that's football do you think lemons will bench anana this season i think it could happen straight away it could happen slowly um but look check out my preview for fulham because i don't think anana starts i don't think he can start i think it would be you know i think i think i think it would be stupid to do that um okay thanks everyone for watching absolutely ecstatic with that news, to be honest with you.

48:46Again, verifies what we said on Monday when no one else was saying it. Everyone else was saying, unlikely, unlikely to get a midfielder, unlikely to get a goalkeeper. Our source delivers again. Man United are actively, Wilcox and Amorim are actively trying to get a goalkeeper and a midfielder in. So I might run out, but that's the aim. Well, goalkeeper. And that's the one I think is harder. I think the midfielder is obvious. I think because we went for Belayba, we've made it very obvious who wants a midfielder. The goalkeeper has been subtle. And remember, we broke this in March. Amorim wants Anana gone.

49:23And some people have been trying to make out that that's not true. We approached Aston Villa. We told Monaco a price for Anana. And we have been talking to Lemans for a considerable period of time. So it's great that those people get sat down. But more importantly, it's great that we're actually looking to solve a problem that we all know. and I think you know when you've got people like Gary Neville in the mainstream on Sunday saying man you know I need a goalkeeper that's when as a club you've got to realize if the mainstream are saying it we're really exposed um so let's hope we get it done uh get over to Terry he's talking about it he's got Ben Jacobs with him so they'll be well into this uh I'll speak to you in a bit make sure you smash a like and subscribe and don't forget to put it in your calendar tonight live Bundesliga action on that's football I'll speak to you later
