172: Martinez & Gallagher DEALS! Deadline Day!

0:00And this is your latest Manchester United transfer news this deadline day. What can we expect today from the deadline day live here on the United Stand? Well, look, I'll talk about the United Stand and what you can expect. But from Manchester United, I think there's a few parameters that we need to get into. Anthony is gone. Martinez is desperate to come. Le Mende's terms agreed. What's going on with the midfield and potentially a Conor Gallagher loan? Also, Gary Neville has spoken again about what he thinks issues are, and I completely agree with him. Who would have thought that? Also, lots of other things to talk about around maybe Anon and everything else as well.

0:37But the key performance indicators for Manchester United this morning are that it's 10 o 'clock UK time, and in nine hours, the window shuts. We've got nine hours to get a goalkeeper and a midfielder. And I've got to be honest, it ain't going to happen, is it? It ain't going to happen. But we hope it happens. so where are we this morning so in relation to the goalkeeper let's just say this um we have got updates coming in Anthony by the way is a done deal look I'm gonna I'm gonna frame this right before we wander down the road of positivity on what a good deal Anthony is how does that benefit you as a fan I see people this morning going fair play to United they've held out till the end we haven't got to pay Anthony off.

1:21We've got a 50 % sell on and all this, right? And that's absolutely fine. And I don't disagree with it. All this on me sock. I don't know what I asked all of that. Since when we used somebody that got the tissues out for a bank balance, last time I checked, we're fans of a football club. Last time I checked, we need a goalkeeper and a midfielder. Last time I checked, we didn't take our tops off and run around the garden because we're not paying Anthony off and we've got a sell on fee. I mean, at the end of the day, who gives a shit Anthony should have been gone weeks ago oh am I meant to celebrate that on transfer deadline day I mean is this what we celebrate now the Glazers and Ineos making a bit of money I mean what benefit is Anthony to Man United if we don't get a midfielder so I'm sort of sat here going there's people online going oh Barada brilliant Wilcox wonderful Ineos beginning with I and I'm sort of like we need a midfielder and a goalkeeper and we're celebrating on the last day of the window that we're not paying Anthony off.

2:19If it goes towards a midfielder, great. If it doesn't, I'm celebrating the Glazers using that money to pay off a bit of debt interest. So look, let's get real here. Now is not the time to be celebrating making money on deals that we might not spend. We have got to get out there. And also, talking about rivalry, I remember a time when Manchester United used to be rivals with Liverpool. We used to be rivals with Liverpool. They've just won the Premier League, they've won three from three, and they've just bought Isak on top of an amazing summer transfer window. If you'd said to me 10 years ago, Liverpool would be kicking the arse out of United on every level, I'd have said you're having a laugh.

3:00That club's going nowhere. And I might see a positive in that. We're going no-mare, so maybe in 10 years we'll flip it around. But I'm not so sure with this ownership. Liverpool are out in the distance. You can't even see them. They're not even a dot on the horizon. They're gone. They're absolutely gone. They're buying a centre-back today as well as Isaac. They're top of the league. They're the best team in England. United can't even buy the players for their first team. So look, there's a long way back. There's a long way back. Seven o 'clock tonight when the transfer window closes, we'll review this transfer deadline.

3:34Put it in your diary. Marks out of 10 will go through the lot. But while it's still alive, while we're still breathing, we'll give it the bloody resuscitation and hope it works. So where we are this morning, there is a few things breaking. Obviously, you might have seen Ezek to Liverpool overnight. There was actually this morning Anthony to Betis. Here we go. So that deal is done. It's around£21 million and there is a 50 % sell on for that as well. We're not giving him a payoff either. So Anthony is gone. The wage is gone. There's a bit of profit in there for Manchester United worked into that.

4:14And ultimately, he is gone as we would have hoped he would be, which is a positive. Now on the goalkeeper, really interesting on the goalkeeper, Fabrizio Romano is saying that discussions are ongoing with Aston Villa around Martinez and Jadon Sancho. So he's just said that discussions between United and Villa continue over Sancho. The same discussions are also at Emi Martinez. However, the deals will be separate. Yeah, you can't be doing some swap deal in nine hours. That's never going to work. Laurie Whitwell, though, in The Athletic, says that in relation to Le Mans, Manchester United are saying that Le Mans would have to travel to Manchester this morning if the deal has a realistic chance of completion ahead of this evening's transfer deadline.

4:58United have agreed personal terms with Le Mans, and a deal still needs to be reached with Antwerp for the transfer fee. We're also still in talks with Martinez, but only one goalkeeper will be signed. I think that's really interesting on the goalkeeper because I don't know where you stand on this, but I'm absolutely, resolutely, it's got to be Martinez. I did a video with Robbie this morning talking about the Premier League weekends and the transfer window and he said, what do you think about the goalkeeper? and I said, who do I want in goal against Man City in two weeks? Do I want Emi Martinez in goal at the Etihad or do I want Lemens making his debut at the Etihad?

5:37I want Martinez. And that answers the question for me. I don't know who's the better keeper in three years. I don't know who's the better goalkeeper in five years, but I know who the better goalkeeper is in two weeks. And I know how this media works and I know how this fan base works. And I know, lose badly to Man City and no one's going to go, it doesn't matter. Let's give Amirim time because he's got a goalkeeper that's inexperienced. It's going to be Amirim out. And we work in a climate at Manganiard now where every result is going to be a reaction. So you've got to build a team that can go and get your results now.

6:12And Martinez is the more experienced goalkeeper. So it has to be Martinez for me. Do I think it will be him? I don't know. The logical thing is to go for Martinez, but you know what Man United are like. We might not get a goalkeeper. We might get Le Mens. I mean, look, as I said before, with Sesco and Watkins, Watkins is Martinez and Sesco is Le Mens. And we went for Sesco. He's young, he's potential, he'll have a sell-on value. That might tip the scales towards Le Mens from Man United. We don't know. Just because 70 % of you want Martinez doesn't mean the club's going to do that. We've had no indication from the club what they want to do.

6:51And honestly, we might go down the cheaper, longer-term auction where they can make profit. Chelsea would go Le Mans. They wouldn't go Emi Martinez. So, Jim Radcliffe loves the Chelsea model. He might be pushing Le Mans going, at the end of the day, there'll be more champers in it if we get Le Mans. You know, it could be the next Courtois. You know, you get him in, in five years' time, you make a massive profit. And, you know, champers. So, that might be how we look at it. But Dylan's right. Cheaper option they would pick. Also, younger option with more sell on value. So keep an eye on the goalkeeper.

7:30I mean, look, honestly, when talking about the goalkeeper, the reality is kicking in by, you know, every minute matters now. at the start of June we had so much time we've got under nine hours now we've got eight minutes and 52 minutes we ain't getting a midfielder are we I I am waiting I am waiting on the midfielder for the Ornstein or Romano drop that there will be no midfielder I mean that's the only thing I'm waiting for the confirmation that we're not getting one because it's coming in it's coming in um on Conor Gallagher, I will talk about the midfielder. On Conor Gallagher, hot off the press this morning, Crystal Palace, Brighton, maybe Tottenham, and maybe Villa are auctions for him.

8:21He could well leave Atletico Madrid today, which means a deal can be done. I would sit here and say, if he's going to Palace or he's going to Spurs or he's going to Brighton, he's not there yet, so a deal can be done. We can't sit here going, there's only nine hours left. Like, if he can go somewhere else, he can come here. But the news is, if he's going to leave Atletico Madrid, Palace have got money, Villa need signings, Brighton, you know,

8:52he could be on the move. But there's not a lot around Man United. I would do that deal. Look, honestly, Rabiot can't be done now. He's a here we go to AC Milan. Five o 'clock today, I'd do Rabiot. 100 % I'd do a Rabiot deal because you're getting to the point now where beggars can't be choosers two weeks ago I'd be losing my shit about Connor Gallagher or Adrian Rabiot two hours to go I'd be like please either of them what about their brother you know we're in the desperate throes of this transfer window now and that in itself is a negative it is a negative and it's interesting look because you know I ain't gonna give Gary Neville the exclusive on this but it doesn't mean that his words don't mean anything.

9:35We've been talking about a midfielder and a goalkeeper for about a year, certainly all of the summer transfer window. I remember Neville after the Arsenal game saying, man, you know, I'd need a goalkeeper and we do need a goalkeeper. And I think we will get a goalkeeper, but this is what he said about a midfielder. The midfield is equally as big a problem as the goalkeeper, by the way. But I think that's going to be too much of an ask, but that's a big problem in midfield as well. There are holes in there like you wouldn't believe. Now, look, I'm not blowing up a Gary Neville comment more than you, more than the United stand or anything else, but there is two worlds that exist in football.

10:14There is the established mainstream where some people just only watch that. There is the middle ground where people watch this and watch that. And there's people who just watch this new media now. You can't dismiss the fact that on the established media, it's always a good thing when people are saying what you're saying. So when you've got Gary Neville on mainstream media saying that Man United midfield is crap, it's got loads of holes in it, this is a really good bit of validation because ultimately we want a midfielder. And you sometimes feel like you're singing in the darkness and no one can see you or hear you.

10:49So when you've got Gary Neville on mainstream TV and all of you lot on here and everywhere else saying Man United need a midfield. And remember, Gary Neville has a close relationship with Sir Jim Radcliffe. They're working together on the rejuvenation of the area. So when he says Man United's midfield is shit, it's a feather in the cap of all of us. Now, Man United ignoring that, it makes it even more incredible. It's not just fans being sensationalist or whatever the Glazers call us. It's also the mainstream. Like, this is not something that can be used to hit Amerim with in two months' time when our midfield's getting run through by Bournemouth.

11:28This is something that should have been solved this summer transfer window or in the next eight and a half hours. So, you know, I'm appreciative that someone like Gary Neville is saying something about it because we're all desperate for it and we all desperately need it. We go. We've got a Sancho to Villa here. Here we go. I should have said at the start of the show, by the way, that we may well end up in a situation whilst we're live that we get live news coming in. So let me have a look. 62 seconds ago. So look, we're live for this. Here we go. Sancho Tavilla. Here we go. Deal in place on initial loan from Manchester United, green light from Man United, and deal being sealed with formal steps to follow next.

12:12um the only thing i would say about that is um in what capacity is that deal like there'll be no money towards us that's what i'm saying you know i'm just looking at that um we'll come back to the midfielder in a minute um but i'm just gonna see if i can get somebody to send me some detail on this they might not know but also it's transfer deadline day so they might be very busy and ignore me um initial loan well he's only got one year left on his contract i mean you've got a feel for aston villa they've not scored a goal this season they're playing absolutely shit and now they've just signed jaden sancher i mean look i don't even know what to say i hope there's no Villa fans watching um I genuinely don't know what we could say to Villa fans about this because um it's it's very difficult to um say anything positive about him because he's shite but um let me just come back to the live chat um yeah so Jadon Sancho that's the bomb squad gone then isn't it Rashford's at Barcelona Ganacho's gone to Chelsea Anthony's gone permanently to Betis and now Sancho's basically gone to Villa so there will be some save there I think the thing with Sancho is essentially it's going to be um the wages isn't it he'll be gone for nothing next summer um a loan deal depends how much of his wage is being covered off by Villa really um it's funny It's funny on the Sancho thing, how Romano said, deal in place on initial loan from Man United.

14:08But there can't be an obligation. There can't be anything else because he has only got a year left on his contract. So we can't get anything. I just wonder if next summer he'll be a free agent and he won't stay at Villa. It's more about what I'm trying to say is that deal will be more about what Sancho and Villa decide next summer. It's got nothing to do with this. because basically Sancho's contract's up on June the 30th. So at the end of the season, Villa won't be giving us any money. It will just be whether Sancho wants to stay at Villa or Villa wants to keep him. So it's basically a year-long deal and then he'll go.

14:45Also, here we go, Wizzards to Newcastle. That's gone as well. So it's all going on this month. I've never known a transfer deadline day like it. There are so many transfers happening, like Donnarumma's here we go, Man City, Izak's here we go, Anthony's here we go, Wizards here we go, Appendity, Eventus, here we go, Sancho, here we go. You know, here we go, here we go, here we go. It's all over the place. Absolutely incredible. Do you think Man United could drop the extension? No. No. I mean, we have got the option of a plus one on Sancho, but you'd never do it. Why would you do it? He's on ridiculous money.

15:25You just let him go. You wouldn't do anything that. Joshua Pope says, what about Malassia? Does anybody actually care? Does anyone really care about that? I genuinely don't think we do care about that. But there's all sorts going on. And there will be lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of deals done. It's just whether Man United are going to be involved in any. And it's going to be a chaotic day, really, in the general transfer window. It's just what Man United can do. If you think about the outgoings, we're finished. We're done now. The only thing left is incomings. Have we given ourselves time?

16:00I'm still not going to give in until seven o 'clock. I still am not going to give in. I think that Anthony's gone. Sancho's gone. It's half past 10. Ganacho's already gone. Rashford's already gone. Rasmus is gone. It's half past 10. All you've got left now is incomings. I saw a very interesting bit of information I wanted to read out to you as well. Let me get this up as well. Not you. Where was it? It was on my likes. So Manchester United outgoings. Ganacho,£40 million plus£10 sell-on. Rasmus,£5 million loan fee plus£38 million obligation. Anthony,£21 million plus 50 % sell-on fee. Rashford,£15 million wages plus£26 million buy option.

16:46Sancho, again, about£15 million in wages, depending on what pillar are going to play. Everything's done. There are no more outgoings to do. So you either have the money or you don't have the money. And you've got all of you, all of me, all of the media, Gary Neville, everybody, Man United need a midfielder. We don't need to focus on any more outgoings. We need a goalkeeper and a midfielder in eight and a half hours. It can be done. Will it be done? I don't know. But as I said, on Connor Gallagher, He can leave Atletico Madrid. There is a realistic opportunity for that to happen in the next few hours.

17:26But from credible journalists, Palace look likely to enter the fray. Brighton might, Villa might, Spurs might. Man United, nothing at the moment. Now, I would do a deal for Conor Gallagher on the basis that Bruno and Casemiro are gone in a year. I can see Agate 50-50 is either going to turn it round or he'll be gone next summer. and Mainou wants out. So we might not even have a midfield next year. So hopefully Mainou stays. Hopefully Agate gets back. You still need to sign two midfielders. Conor Gallagher, another midfielder next summer. Hopefully Kone comes through. That midfield is absolutely in need of more than one signing.

18:11So I would go and do it. But, you know, I want to be sat here at 7 o 'clock going, we've got a chance. We've got a chance. I know that Liverpool and Arsenal are miles ahead of us. I'm not even that bothered about it this year. I want to get where they are, but it's not going to happen this year. But I look at fifth place and I go, we're Manchester United. You're telling me we can't bring the players in to fight for fifth. Just give us a chance, Sir Jim. Just give us a chance, Sir Jim. Just give us a chance. I just want a chance. I want to be in the international or break going, we've got a chance.

18:47And if you give me a midfielder and you give me Emi Martinez, we've got a chance. I'd still agree with people going, we've got, well, not, it won't happen, but give us a bloody chance. Give us something to hold on to. We're out in the middle of the Atlantic and a boat's going by. Chuck us a piece of rope. If we miss it, we're going to drown, but at least chuck us the rope. Don't just go by going champers, watching us drown. Throw us a bloody rope, Sir Jim. Give us a bloody chance for Pete's sake. Let us rest for Pete's sake. Oh, sure, see what you can do. Give us a chance. That's all I'm saying.

19:21Give us a bloody chance. Chuck us a rope. Get us a midfielder. You're meant to be a Man United fan as well. You know, why would a Man United fan go, no, we don't need a midfielder? You see, you know what? Actually, that's my big question. Why would anybody at that football club think we're going to get by without a midfielder? It's so stupid. Let's get some of your comments in. Lots going on. I will be reacting to it as it happens. A bit of a rumour about Inanna potentially going to Galatasaray. I think Edison's going to Galatasaray. So I don't see Inanna going anywhere. I think Inanna has absolutely messed up, if I'm being completely honest.

20:04I think he thought, stay where I am, even though they've told me they don't want me. And I will be the goalkeeper for Man United. And I think he's messed up. Sancho, here we go. praise the lord martinez got to be happening now says sam good point sam with sancho here we go to villa that's a very quick deal hopefully that helps us um there was a comment there what do you think about sancho at villa mate i've got to be consistent i've barely spoke about sancho at man united uh i'm sorry i barely spoke about a sancho transfer and we knew it was going to happen i don't care about this player you know ganacho i want him to do badly at chelsea because of how he's treated as Rashford I want him to do well at Barcelona Anthony I couldn't give two shits um but with regards to um um Sancho I just I don't know I don't care really I don't know I don't know I've got nearly 27 ,000 people watching remember this is the place to be today and that's football as well loads going on we're going to be live from the Manchester studio from two o 'clock till close so the last five hours will be live we've got Ben Jacobs on we've got special guests united strand is going to be on as well but loads planned for you so tune in from two uh make sure you subscribe and share the video i'm with you for the next hour or so then we're going to be cutting over to the football terrace with terry as well so lots and lots to keep you entertained today and i do remember the old transfer deadline days when they were good and uh you know you used to be there taking the day off work i actually think this transfer deadline day is going to be very good.

21:37I think it could be one of the best ever in generally, like maybe not for United, maybe hopefully. I mean, the thing that gives me hope and call me deluded, but the thing that gives me hope is that everybody else is just doing madness or window. I said yesterday, we've already broken the Premier League transfer record for spend. And today, I think there'll be another half a billion, half a billion spent. I think we'll see 500 million easy. Well, 125 55 for Isaac plus 55 for Wizzar. Well, that's 200 already. And there are other deals happening. So Man United, just get involved. Just get involved.

22:16If a keeper comes in, I've got to catch up on a few super chats and then we'll have a quick look at some other bits I wanted to talk about. Tom Chesh says, outgoings look good and can only get better. Says Tom. Sancho one-year extension activated could be an L. We won't do it, Cormac. We won't do it. We will get a midfielder today. and I think it may be a complete surprise. Wilcox wonker tickets as Dave. If we get a midfielder and we get a goalkeeper, I don't think I'll give this window any higher than a seven. But if we don't, I could go down to a four. So it's ridiculous. You know, I'm not here going, it's a glaze of madness or anything like that.

22:53It's very, very late. But better to be late than not to turn up at all. That's what my granddad always said. better to be late than not to turn up at all Sancho 2027 extension will be activated by Romano, this is Dragon why? why? we're just so fixated on money, let him fucking go do not activate the other year we're, so you're going to give me a nut, so I'm going to have three summers of Sancho sitting on his arse, like he did it last year with Chelsea, he's done it this year with Villa, just get Get rid of him. The contract's up next year. Let him go. Let him go. But we won't do it because we're thinking about bloody money again.

23:38Just fucking get rid. Do you want another summer of Sancho sat on his arse, earning 200 grand a week out of this club for three months before he goes on September the 1st? Don't activate the bloody contract. Get rid of the bloody mercenary. I can't. I don't want him anywhere near United again. I think Edison is going to Fenerbahce, so just maybe Anana can still leave to Galatasaray, DJ. look it'd be a bonus if an arna goes but i don't want to waste time on an arna he's had his chance we need a midfielder berk says if what people in the chat say is true that we've extended sancho's contract without a mandatory buyout the club is even sillier than i thought says perk edison's going to fennebache marks as far as sancho here we go praise the lord says sam if a keeper comes in either of an arna or binda can be moved out says mojo yeah remember the remember the turkish transfer window and the saudi transfer window don't close until another week or so so we don't have to get those deals done today that's my point we don't need to be working on an honor today that can happen tomorrow it doesn't matter um surely sancho going to villa means martinez to united says sam what about malasius is collins you must be the only person asking uh are we doing are we doing deadline full coverage mark but we're live from two ram yeah all the way through to the end does the sancho deal mean martinez to united hope so aussie off topic says Sam.

24:54But shouldn't the team captain share responsibility for teammates not pulling their weight in training or for having a bad attitude? Yes. Depressing song creation incoming by me, says TN Music. Any news on Molassia, says Joshua. He said we have an option on a plus one year on his deal, says captain. Sean Ternus' year extension. Ridiculous. Dan says could we extend Sancho's contract for 12 months to get a fee? Should he do well at Villa? I wouldn't do it. but it looks like we will do it. It makes sense to have Martinez. He will help organise our defence and command his box, but we still need a midfielder, even if it's a loan deal, so it's chin.

25:28The brilliance of Martinez is the personality as well. You need a personality at Man United, and he certainly has one. The backbone of the team the last decade was Kimmich, Busquets, Casemiro and Rodri. What position did they play? We need ours, that's lazy. United will no doubt pay 150 % of Sancho's wages, says One Hwonder. Would still 100 % go for a midfielder over a goalkeeper says simply red so we've spent 200 million but in sales players contracts up and loans we've recouped around 130 so that's a net spend of 70 poor says sean turner patrick lynch says for all our boards planning once again we'll finish the transfer window where we're all in agreement that we've been left short typical united in the us have now established how they view transfers bloopers from lemenz uh makes an honor look like buffon says eugene in inios we want we want if any of us want long term then they should give amarin the protection for the time it takes them to develop the potential they can't take it both ways there's a bit more take it both ways had me thinking about something else cheeky a goalkeeper center back dog who isn't ready sure plays left wing back for me says lucas jones if we were not well we're not getting a bloody sense about mate if we get emid fielder wouldn't that pass main piss mainu off more says david don't give a shit i don't i don't i mean look people keep telling me mainu can't play next to Bruno.

26:46So if Manu can't play next to Bruno and I'm wrong, then we definitely need a midfielder. Romano said on his live two minutes ago, no midfielder, says Daniel. Martinez makes sense. Vitek might be the successor, says John C. I've seen some say Martinez is mistake prone and not the right goalkeeper. Give me the keeper of the reigning world champions any day, says Pengers. Haven't we gained over 100 million through sales and saved wages? Surely we can hurry up and make two deals, says John. Look, in relation to a midfielder, we were in talks with Balaba, a couple of weeks ago, who is a£100 million midfielder.

27:19By the law of averages, we must have had about£60 or£70 million available to do that deal. So we have got the money. We just obviously can't find the target. Hi, in your opinion, do you see Sancho actually signing for Villa? That's a little bit late, Tristan, because he has. I just asked Romano in his live stream about a new midfielder, and he said it's quiet around the midfielders, says Arnold. Yeah, well, it is. We said that last night, didn't we? Gallagher would have been a decent signing in another system, but he's coming here to defend an entire car park, which will use the Palace in a perfect structure for his place, says Hayder.

27:51Liverpool might have Izak, but we have Apollo tyres, says Oneichwunder. And we need a midfielder and a goalkeeper and a backup striker for Sheshko, says for FD. Well, I think this is a great point, by the way. I mean, we're demanding a midfielder and a goalkeeper. That ain't it. That ain't it by a long stretch. There are other areas of that team where we need players. You could argue right wing back. Some people think left wing back. Certainly, I think we need two midfielders, not one. Definitely think we need a striker. We're stacked at centre-back and we're stacked at 10. But everywhere, look, honestly, my assessment of that Man United squad is we're stacked at 10 and we're stacked at centre-back.

28:29Every other area of the pitch, I would say we might need improvement, especially when you look at the transfer window of Arsenal, backup goalkeeper, two backup defenders, two uh well a backup midfielder in nor guard and a starter in zubomendi you know two backup wide players potentially in ezi and maduaki and a striker um they've built a squad we can't even build a team um any idea on how much the transfer beyond martinez will be i think about 30 million king's hour martinez and i'm a believer on deadline day come on united says red smith i i red smith I appreciate the comment, but I've got to be clear with you.

29:07I genuinely don't think that a goalkeeper is enough. I'm Gary Neville FC or he's Goldbridge FC because I said it first. You said it first. United stand FC. The wider fan base said it first. United FC. We need a midfielder. I've never subscribed to the view that it's an either or. I think it's peasant opinion. I think it's Glazenomics opinion. Get your T-shirts on. I don't know why people have got it in their head about a goalkeeper or a midfielder. Do you see any real football club going two massive holes in our team, but we can only pick one? No, I ain't picking one. I ain't picking one. We need both.

29:53It's not an either or. It's not a bloody poll on that football. This is a reality. We need both. I'm not picking one or the other. I think you get one, you leave a whole one in another area. You get the other one, you leave a hole back there it it's not an either or and any united fan that's saying oh i'll be out if i'll just give me a goalkeeper you are massively underestimating the the reality of this team as i said look the goalkeeper is surely going to happen you can't miss when you've got two and they both want to come to the club we will get the goalkeeper over the line i i'm not surprised that we are dragging it out to the last breath of the window on purpose so that we can't get a midfielder.

30:34We've done that time and time before. We all know that. But remember with the midfield, this is the midfield of last year. This is the team that finished 15th and got embarrassed by Spurs who were missing their midfield. This is the midfield of last year. And some people somehow think they're going to pop down Tesco, get themselves a duster, get a bit of polish, walk up to a big pile of shit and spray it with the polish and turn it into gold. All that you're going to make is a mildly better smelling messy shit. You're not polishing that turd, I'm sorry. It's not even guesswork, it's reality. It's the same midfield as last year, in the same system as last year.

31:15We were playing the midfield pivot the last six months of the season and we were shite. And we haven't brought any midfielder in. I don't really understand why people can't figure that one out. There is no hidden gem. There is no secret sauce. The only secret sauce you've got is preseason. And some of these players have played already. This is the midfield of last year. Now, if you think that that midfield is suddenly going to go, hey, Fonzie, happy days. Great. But I don't think so. To be fair, Gallagher should have been the one we bought instead of Mounts. hindsight is a beautiful thing says Dave look hindsight is a beautiful thing of course it is but you know we've got to live in now and there is time now uh nearly 30k tuning in this morning please share the video make sure you subscribe big day ahead hopefully at the moment looks like a goalkeeper and nothing more but let's wait and see look at Lamptey going for 6 million caution retail as I'm sure he was valued at 50 to 60 by Brighton after one good year the labour is not worth 100 says just george uh anthony murray says what if both united keepers go and we bring in martinez and lemans still haven't got a bloody midfielder anthony that's that's that's all i'm for because don't sit there why is nobody talking about martinez returning and playing as a six as patrick literally everybody talks about it mate you're walking in like you've discovered gold you know martinez has never played as a midfielder for man united and also he's had two major injuries in the last two years and you're saying bring an injured player back and stick him into the most physically demanding position in world football midfield for manchester united in the premier league must be the most physically demanding job in football you're in the most physically demanding league in the worst midfield where you have to run around like a dick i mean martinez coming back from two major injuries running around in our midfield.

33:14I mean, you may as well throw him into a bloody crocodile pit lathered in ketchup. He's getting injured. Slow Sports News says, So Sancho going Villa on loan. How does this affect the Martinez deal? I only ask because a deal for him depends on Sancho movements. I think we'll get, well, I hope we're going to get Martinez. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if Man United went for the young keeper. Gandalf, welcome to Members Club. Lovely name. Mark, I'm Belieber until the end of the deadline day. I hope let's give Amrim the guy he wants. Arshan, I mean, on Balaba, that would be the best pull-off in transfer history.

33:52You know, I just don't think it can be done. I won't stop believing, but I just don't think it can be done in the time that's left. Igor is going to Palace, means Guehi to Liverpool soon. That was always going to happen, Kieran. Pengus says, Villa and Newcastle have looked absolutely shit. If Glynios actually cared about getting the players we needed, the bounce back to competing for fifth. What Pengers is basically saying, welcome to Members Club, Tom Chesh, by the way. Thanks for supporting the channel and getting your badging. In relation to what Pengers is saying there, absolutely with bows on top.

34:24Brilliant comment. Like, this is the big frustration, I think, of every Man United fan. We're not moaning for moaning's sake. I think in previous transfer windows, you might go, oh, we did need this. but you might, you know, you'd still be expecting top four. I remember when Mourinho didn't get Perisic and I think it was a real letdown, but I still would have said easily top four. The difference with the United at the moment is no one's even putting us in the top four. So there's an issue there. It's not just fans moaning. We're talking about a team that can't get into top four, but could do if you get a midfielder.

35:01And that's the frustrating thing. I think fifth place is up for grabs if you get the midfielder. And if you don't, I think at the end of the season, if we finish seventh, a lot of people will say, if we got a midfielder, we could have finished fifth. Amorim, Wilcox desperately wants a midfielder. All of our fan base desperately wants a midfielder. Why are we not getting one? Because the people in control won't do it. And it's very frustrating. Manifesting, we have signed a goalkeeper and a midfielder, says Mojo. uh dragon guide welcome to members club thank you very much pest pecs lost two times games but it's amy mount media perhaps as samuel romano said martinez deal depended on sancho deals is jj thoughts on martinez in the midfield if all else fails i think i've spoken about that vads i'd rather do masrawi can we please stop framing this as main who wants out any idiot can see mainly wants to play unlike many others who have just sat on their contracts this farming contributes toxicity because there's rainfall i don't really want to talk about mainu mate because he's not going anywhere is he but what i will say is that mainu wants to leave on loan so move on that's that's the line mainu wants to leave on loan and he's put it out there to ornstein and romano so that's where we are we just need to close this window and he needs to get his head down and fight and i think we'll be fine then we'll just need to hit seven o 'clock with mainu because There's no point in Mainou.

36:27Look, Mainou wants to go to the World Cup. My theory on Mainou is I think he's a brilliant player. I think he can play next to Bruno. And I think, you know, we need him and another midfielder with what we've got. But once we hit seven o 'clock tonight, he might be a bit disappointed that he didn't get the loan deal. But if he wants to go to the World Cup, he can't play for anyone else till January. So obviously he's going to get his head down and work hard, which is exactly what Amorim wants him to do. So with Mainou, I think it's irrelevant. As long as he's not going, he might be a bit disappointed, but then he's got to wake up tomorrow and get to work.

37:00And that hopefully benefits us. Get both out and Arna out and Beinder and then get both keepers. Outgoings look good and can have done that one from Tom. Right, let's go back to the news because there's so much coming in here. Thanks to everyone who's tuning in, by the way. Please do subscribe. Big day ahead. Just buying myself a few seconds there. You've played the game. you've played the game um okay so

37:31sancho's gone whizz is gone yeah fabrizio romano united will activate sancho's contract option until 2027 this fucking football club i'll tell you absolute idiots all they're bothered about his money. Right. You've got a guy who's out of contract next summer and you don't have to pay his wage anymore. He's gone. He's not a problem anymore. You don't have to waste. We're rubbish at doing transfers. You don't have to do anything with him again. He's gone. Doesn't cost you any money. He's gone. No more wages. He is gone. What do we do? Activate the other year. Why do we do it? Because next summer we want to get a fee for him.

38:14He hates Man United. He doesn't like us. he's going to sit there again and do it again and then he'll go on loan next september and run his contract down we are so thick we have tried to sell him so many times this summer and he won't go because he doesn't want us to get a transfer fee he wants to run his contract down and we've gone and extended it by year again because we think we can make some money we're so thick we're so thick and all that's going to happen next year is we'll pay his contract again towards september the first and then he'll run it down on loan somewhere. We are so stupid.

38:48What a waste of time. These people run the football club, by the way. They think they're intelligent. They're so thick. It's going to be exactly this situation where he's got one year left on his contract again, and we think we're going to get a fee. And you know what? Someone's going to go, well, Villa might have an obligation to buy. Oh, what? Like Chelsea did? Come on. Come on. Apparently, Ten Hag's been sacked as well. What a week for ex-Man United managers. Well, it's not even a week. In the space of five days, Oli, Jose and Ten Hag have been sacked. Madness. Absolute madness. Unlike players who leave Man United, I don't think we can say managers who leave Man United do that well.

39:37What a bad week for them. um swatnam are exploring a deal for muani that's nothing to do with us uh

39:48jimenez has gone to bournemouth i don't know what that's got to do anything i'm just having a quick look right i'm going to come back to you lot because there's actually nothing new around united at the moment uh in cafe to arsenal's done uh david ornstein says Villa on verge of agreement to sign Sancho, season-long loan. Man United retained the option to extend the contract, which obviously Romano is saying that we will do, which is absolutely incredible. Guajita, Liverpool. Okay, that's got nothing to do with us. So there we go. What do I think is going to happen? We've got 300, we're only 300 people away from 30 ,000.

40:28So please do share the video. Make sure you subscribe, get your comments in. I think that... Why do you think Ten Hag's been sacked, Mark? Very, very quickly, because I do cover the Bundesliga now. They've had an absolutely shit start. They lost the opening game at home. They gave up a lead again at the weekend. They've got one point from six. I don't know what involvement he's got in the transfer window, but they've actually let a lot of good players go as well. This is a team that won the Bundesliga just over a year ago. and clearly there's an issue between the ownership and the manager there.

41:08So I think something's gone wrong. I'd say he's probably been sacked because he's not happy with the vision of the club and he said it, but I don't know.

41:20My live Bundesliga highlight show will be tomorrow afternoon on That's Football. I'm doing it live this time. Anyway, back to Man United. What are we expecting for the next few hours? Well, I think that the realist in me is going to say that we will now spend the next few hours about Le Mens and Martinez. And Man United will be rubbing their hands together going, the fan base is going to be getting excited about who it's going to be. And around six o 'clock, we'll say who it's going to be. And then the window closes and we all go on our holidays. That's my vision for the last few hours of the window.

41:53It's always going to be about Martinez or Le Mens. we get that done the windows closed and as somebody said technically we've spent fuck all technically we've not spent that much um when you add up the incomings and you add up the outgoings um then you know i don't think it's um gonna be huge amounts of money but

42:20the fantasist in me says we get martinez and we go and get a midfielder Mitch just stopped spreading negativity it's called opinion Mitch why don't you go and walk your dog because I guarantee you've got pictures on your Twitter of you hugging a dog with those sort of comments so yeah I think let's hope something happens with the midfield that's a bit of a fantasy at this stage, a goalkeeper will happen and remember with Inanna and Belinda we don't need to do it today the Turkish league and the Saudi league transfer window stays open for a bit longer so both of those can do it um there's nothing wrong with owning a dog by the way there's nothing wrong with owning a dog i own a dog if i've got two dogs but what i found over the years is that people who are very toxic and negative on social media when you look at their profile they're always snogging a dog you know i own a dog i like walking a dog but you know um i'm not yeah let's lead it there um i am i'm more of a dog man than a cat man but i don't put pictures of myself on social media profiles of me hugging a dog if i might just be for a laugh i'll do it on mark goldbridge today check it out um right are we nearly hit 30k we've still not done it yet please do share the video let's see if we can do it this morning um just in relation to the united stand today um we are obviously going to go live when any deals happen I'll be live in my little box room today 2 o 'clock we're in the Manchester studio Ben Jacobs is going to be on United Tran's going to be on we'll be reacting live loads of discussion 2 o 'clock till 7 o 'clock and then 7 o 'clock I'm in my studio for the transfer window review show very excited about this we'll be ranking the window out of 10 we'll be discussing the window from top to bottom we'll be talking about the timings of signings the absence of signings where it's all gone wrong where it's all gone right etc that will be at seven o 'clock so lots to get into today matt says we have enough dollars to go for an outrageous for labor bid you know what i can say this now because it's not for the review show the scary thing about inios and patrick lynch said it or sean turner said it one of the two you're absolutely correct they said we've had two full summer transfer windows from inios now so last year you might go learning the ropes etc we've had two now it's like a player when you've had two seasons you're a flop or you're not staying with an ownership two full summer transfer windows now we know what they're all about i think they're worse than the glazers because i'll tell you now the glazers today would go and do the anthony the casemiro the agate they desperately go and spend the money and it might not work it might work but they would do it by the looks at it Ineos won't do that so we need a midfielder and I think the Glazers would go there's 80 million for a 40 million pound player but at least you get the player I don't think Ineos are that type of owner so in a way I think that their transfer strategy when it comes to getting players that you need I don't think they'll chuck money at the problem and some people might agree with that but when you're talking about you know the the the money we'll make with a midfielder getting fifth and the money we'll lose without a midfielder not getting fifth they pay for themselves and more you know champions league football is 100 million quid no champions league football is no 100 million quid there's no other way you can't justify it any other way if i was sat with sir jim and he went at the end of the day it doesn't work like that but it bloody does if you're in the champions league a hundred million pounds if you're not in the champions league no hundred million pounds you don't find it anywhere else you're either in it or you're not hundred million or no hundred million so it's a gym you get me a midfielder i get you a hundred million so that midfielder costs you 60 but you can spread it out over five years but let's say first payment is 20.

46:3520 minus 100, 80 million profit. No midfielder, no 20 million spend, but no 100 million. You just lost 100 million, mate. And there is no other equation. There is no other thing to figure out. 100 million pounds, 20 million spend, midfielder. 80 million profit. No midfielder, no 100 million pounds, 100 million pounds loss. That's the only equation that matters. You can't spin anything else. If we get a midfielder, I think we get Champions League football. We make a hundred million pounds. If we don't get a midfielder, I don't think we get Champions League football. We never get a hundred million pounds.

47:15But the club don't work at the, because they're business people, because they work off Excel spreadsheets, they don't understand football. And they'd go, well, what if we get a midfielder and we don't get top five? Well, Obviously, that might happen, but you will not get top five without one. And if you have got one, your percentage chance goes up hugely. Football is risk, mate. If you wanted to knock one out with an Excel spreadsheet, you should have bought some shares. This is football. Risk and reward. It's a risky business. That's the whole point. You don't buy a football club to make money.

47:53Unfortunately, we have owners who bought football clubs to make money. The golden rule is you don't buy a football club to make money. It's meant to be somewhere where you lose money. Unfortunately, we've got owners that do want to make money. We know that Ten Hag's been sacked. Yes, we do. Ten Hag sacked. Yes, Ilya and Elder. Anyone who thinks Belabry's 100 million hasn't watched him, says Robert McCormack. I'd love to know what you would do, Robert, in the midfield. Do you think we're okay? You probably think we should play Mason Mount and who else do you like? I don't know who else you like, actually.

48:25um 10 hard been sacked as menu from a psr viewpoint our net spend is zero because kunya was signed in the previous year says mojo why is there no talks about still a mark says medico because it was made up it's made up i mean still as a good player but they're never going to sell volta made around stiller in one window we have enough dollars for an outrageous blaber do you think amrin will quit if nothing happens today in the transfer market says dan is that what he meant by sort it out in the international break i don't i don't think amrin's going anywhere to be honest with you. No, I'm speaking about like Hugh Brandt again, but no, I don't think he's going anywhere.

48:58That's now three ex-Man United managers sacked in one week says Slow Sports News. And that is Slow Sports News because I did say it about 10 minutes ago. But you are right. No goalkeeper, no midfielder. Mark my words, says Jay King. I hope you are joking. You said 10 hog would only go up from here, says Hayder. Yeah, yeah, mate, I'm not God. Maybe in your eyes I am, but I just want to stop the rumours. I am not God. so I don't and I'm happy that I don't get everything right because otherwise that's the genius of life if you it's the jeopardy of life that makes things exciting you know it's the risk that things might not happen imagine how boring life would be if you woke up and went I know exactly what's going to happen in my day everything's going to be great it's the risk and everything else in life that makes it worth living I thought Ten Hag at Leverkusen would do well but if he's been sacked after two games that's not because of bad results you don't sack a manager after two results like there's something else there's a fallout isn't there something's gone on behind the scenes i can't account for that on pure footballing and coaching ability i think ten hog would have done well at leverkusen but they've obviously decided they don't want that project after two games um can you imagine if we'd sack ten hog after losing his first two games for United.

50:15It'd be ridiculous. So there's obviously something going on there. 110 million for Belaber. Is that worth it, says Ahmed? I'd probably spend it on... Well, we're not going to do it anyway. Patrick says Martinez with one leg would have more mobility than Casemiro. Last thing we need as a club is developing... Sorry, Abishak says last thing we need as a developing club right now is yet another unplanned panic buy. Perfect recipe for yet another addition to the bomb squad. I'd rather have nothing than Basuma but we will be fucked without a midfielder. How can Ineos justify a net spend of£70 million after finishing 15th, says Sahil?

50:54Did Collier leave already? We should try and loan him to Palace. He's gone. Yeah, Deacon. He's at West Brom. Anything concrete on Malassia, Mark? I don't know why people... That's from the filthy underdog. I don't know why people are even bothered about Malassia. His wages are shits. He costs next to nothing. It doesn't really matter. like stancho massive wages got to get him out rashford massive wages got to get him out ganacho pure profit got to get him out anthony big wages got to get him out malassia and i wouldn't even care like he he cost next to nothing his book value will be next to nothing and his wage is next to nothing so i'm not really bothered about malassia i'm sure something will happen but it's i'm not i'm not really first bomb squad gone zero book loss two great one huge potential forwards yet complain bridge uh seem to think players clubs will do whatever we say i think you're an idiot cool but thanks for your comment um actually although despite just calling you an idiot could you also come back and give the transfer window a mark out of 10 because i could do with a laugh i get the sense you'd give it an eight um if brighton get gallagher beliba says anthony murray beliba to united may need to brighton says uh sir alex the paperwork for the the Belieber deal was almost done.

52:10The funds were not. Sancho, Gennaccio and Anthony now done. I can see Belieber today. Look, you know what? That would get me very, very excited, but I can't see it. It's the sort of thing, if you see Jim Radcliffe, you're saying do it because that's going to boost my profile. But I can't, I think we've been in this position before on transfer deadline day. You start hoping for crazy positives and they're very rare. The only thing you might cling on to is look at the amount of big deals being done by other clubs. We might go for a midfielder from Saudi or Turkey, says Praz. Well, I hope not. We need to take it both ways and fill both holes, says Alec.

52:56With the way Liverpool and Man United are moving in the transfer window, the rivalry may sadly soon be Leeds and Man United, says David. Amrim is choosing to play Bruno in the midfield says Robert, he is Robert, he is and I'm dead against that and you know, I said you know, we are talking about a transfer window in its entirety today and at the start of June we had about 80 to 100 million pounds of pure profit on the table for Bruno who is now playing in the midfield every day of the week and Sunday I'm taking that deal United didn't do it amram has to take responsibility for that of course um what's our well it has to work basically and look as a as a backer of amram and a liker of bruno i don't like him in the midfield at all but i hope i'm wrong because i need to be wrong we need to be wrong that window's closing and he's our best midfielder we need to be wrong um what's our next next spend next summer feels like some definite slack there for at least two transfers smoggy why are you talking about next summer transfer window.

54:02Are you glazes in disguise? Mark, when the Martinez news broke, many fans said he's worse than an honor for mistakes. I don't watch Villa much. Is that true? No. Talking absolute arse, Kev. Absolute arse. I mean, as I said, I'll give you a very quick anecdote. I have a YouTube channel called That's Football, which is everything other than United. We have live Bundesliga rights. We do loads of Premier League watch-alongs. There's daily content. I've just done a video on Izak signing to Liverpool. I get asked a lot of general football questions on there. And over the last two years, I've been asked four or five times who the top three goalkeepers are in the Premier League.

54:43Most of the time, I put Emi Martinez in there with Alisson and recently Raya. So anybody who's saying that Emi Martinez is worse than Inanna is talking arse. Inanna is not even a top 10 Premier League goalkeeper. I don't even know if he's a championship goalkeeper. but it's just sensationalist crap trap from these gobby idiots who just can't deal with not getting their own way. They will want a different keeper for some reason. They probably want Donnarumma, which is completely and utterly unrealistic. You've got to deal with what's available. And if Emi Martinez is what we're going for, and I've said it all summer, you grab it because he's experienced, he's Premier League proven, and he's a good goalkeeper.

55:28You've got to grab it. He might flop. Anybody could flop. Sesko might flop. Kunya could flop. 60 % of transfers, sorry, 40 % of transfers flop statistically. So anybody can flop. But I think, look, it's not even done yet. People moaning about Martinez, you might be moaning a lot more if it's Lemens. So, you know, it's Gallagher on, says Killerman. Not heard anything at the moment. We need a midfielder, but Amrim could make it more solid, says Robert McCormack. Joseph, thank you very much for your chat. Six out of 10 with Martinez, eight out of 10 with Belieber, five out of 10 without, says Kul.

56:06Sancho, here we go to Villa on loans, says George. Keep an eye on a player, on Ben at Leverkusen, says Edison. I'm a supporter of a rival team, Mark, but I love your views on this beautiful game, says Squirrel. Nice bit of Squirrel. Thank you, pal. Surely with an Unai Emery interview, that has to be a giveaway for the transfer, says Raven. If we had a goalkeeper before the season started, we'd be second one point against arsenal three against fulham and three versus burnley burnley shows the importance of getting a player in early but yeah and also let's not be let's not be blinkered on that also um yes you're absolutely spot on we'd have more points if we'd bought a goalkeeper in absolutely completely agree but uh what about this what about um what about newcastle newcastle have got well they got newcastle got two points from nine if they had a striker i genuinely think they would have um you know a lot more points so it's not just those who've walked into the season not prepared other clubs have done it as well and you know piss poor preparation leads to piss poor performance so you know let's not forget beyond the transfer window we have wandered into another season not ready which is massively disappointing um let's see what happens in the next few hours um would you bring in milinkovic savage to sir alex

57:34mate i'll deal with that after this window's closed but i don't see things happening in uh in in relation to his bringing players in from turkey or saudi to be honest jose ollie and ten hog in three days we had bad ones says barge um

57:53uh i don't mate i just realized what you said absolute nonsense so our three of our ex managers get sacked and that means that they were bad managers come on that's just got not that's there's no relevance to that at all absolutely not um so much for midfield signings after outgoing spin says ricky yeah i remember that big ang to leverkusen here we go imminent says tom we know eric tanhawk sacked chapter stock okay that's unfamiliar right let me just have a quick look at latest stuff going on in the chat uh what's your plans today mark well um i'm sort of like a hovering hawk ready to pounce on a field mouse and i don't want any calls from the rspca it's the circle of life a hawk flies above a field and when it sees a mouse it scroops in if it's hungry and grabs it and takes it away who knows where maybe just maybe it's like an uber it's not but if you want to think that that's fine uh that's my role today we're live in the studio from two o 'clock loads of guests um right the way through till seven then i'm live at seven to do this transfer review show however while they're live continually if there's any breaking here we goes or stuff i will go live separately so i'm also doing stuff on that's football so lots to get involved in today hope i'm hoping unlike all of you lot i'm pacing the house you know i'm the garden waiting hoping for a for a midfielder but i'm hearing nothing um absolutely nothing um at least look the only positive is at least we didn't sign nicholas jackson um nicholas jackson's a buy-in is back on apparently that buying nicholas jackson deal is just crazy absolutely crazy crazy um aston villa will pay a loan fee for jayden sancho and cover 80 of his wages so that you know that's i mean look as i said at the start of the show you've got people out there getting excited about anthony going and sancho going um but realistically it means nothing to us if we don't go and spend that money and fabrizio said when we pulled out the believer deal we go for somebody else other journalists have said we've got to get players out to bring a midfielder in well where is this other midfielder you know we've got every player that we needed to get out we've got out even though it's late so what's the plan to sell them late and go oh what i'm trying to say is United have always put it out there through good journalists that if we want a midfielder and a goalkeeper, we need to get players out.

1:00:35Are you telling me the whole world knows we need a midfielder? The whole world knows you've got all the players out and you're genuinely going to say, we did it late. So we ran out of time. You robbing shits. So basically you make all the money, you don't spend it, and then you use it towards the bucking debt. I mean, is that the road we're going down here because every journalist has been briefed that when we get the bomb squad out we can go for a midfielder and a goalkeeper we don't go for a midfielder when the money's there have we all been played by that by a mercenary club again that's going to take some of that money and use it elsewhere like dividends probably not debt repayments probably we've been briefed all summer that when we get those players out we can go for a midfielder and a goalkeeper if we don't go for a midfielder.

1:01:22Now we've got them out. Where's that money going? And this is why two weeks ago, when people put pressure on the 58 to stop the protests, you bloody morons. You fell for the spin of Belieber that never happened. If we're pocketing the money and not buying a midfielder, where's that money going? You've been played. So look, let's see where we go in the next seven, eight hours. Josh England said, isn't it funny how we got more points than Man City, but we get criticism more than they do. Sancho to Villa thoughts, says Joseph. I don't really have much thoughts on Sancho. I don't even see him as a United player, so I'm glad he's gone.

1:01:59Signing Berbatov, Rooney and Falcao on deadline days in the past. Now we're begging for Gallagher. How times have changed, says Acid23. Plenty goals, says Villa cover 80 % of the Sancho wage. Thank you very much for that. Okay, I'm going to go and get a cup of tea. There's a lot going on. I'm going to redirect over to Terry because he's live on the football terrace, so you can continue the chat there if you so wish, or maybe you fancy a walk and a cup of tea like me. Not with me. Maybe we can arrange that one day. Actually, I am going to arrange that one day. I've got a great idea for a walker con to raise money.

1:02:33Just told you. Anyway, thanks everyone for tuning in. We are back live at two o 'clock, definitely. We could be back live before that. And don't forget, I want everybody there for the transfer review show at 7pm because your opinions are going to what's matter. let's see and hope we can do more than a goalkeeper speak speak in a bit thanks for watching
