1:40Hello everybody, good morning and welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United transfer news this Wednesday morning, the 11th of June. Lots to get into. I suppose the big question is, what's going on? We've got talk of strike action by Jochores for Sporting. What does that mean for a transfer? How messy could this get? Also, Victor Osserman has said that his dream move is the Premier League. Does that open up a quicker deal for Manchester United? Could we see a twist there? Also, what's going on with Enbermo? I think people are quite right. We've sort of been distracted by that deal, by other things.

2:20What's actually happening with that? How quickly could that happen? Also, we've got the latest on a goalkeeper situation. Anthony Paul Scholes has said Man United should go out and buy this England player. Do you agree with that? I'll tell you who that player is in a minute. It's not just somebody made up. And a few other bits to get into as well as the normal interaction and debate from you lot as well. So hope you're doing very well this morning. Fatigue from the transfer window. I was reading the chat before. Some people saying I'm getting a bit fatigued by it. It's the 11th of June. Get to bed early.

2:52go for a run and sharpen your mind. This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. But I tell you what could well be a marathon is this Jocares development that we're getting overnight. So Portuguese reports, I read this on at UTD exclusive via record in Portugal. Jocares has told Sporting he will never play for them again. The player is ready to go on strike and will not return for pre-season. The relationship between the club and player is broken. United, Arsenal, Juventus remain interested. This is not good, actually. You know, this is not good. He's definitely, I mean, it's such a shame. It's such a shame because Sporting, and I hope, I really do hope that this is not the case because I think that when you look at it, we want a smooth transfer window and a smooth transfer window will still take time.

3:43We have a good relationship with Sporting. Sporting is a fantastic club and I think it's such a shame I mean, look, it's not new, but the problem for us, let me just say that straight away, the problem that we have is that good relationship with sporting, Amarim and Jokeres have a good relationship, get the money, do the deal, easy work. but this just complicates it and I think it's such a shame because I've known about this gentleman agreement for a long time you've known about it basically he's got a release clause of about 80 million but there's always been this gentleman agreement that he can go 55 62 million euros Fabrizio's spoken about it Ben Jacob's spoken about it everybody's spoken about it so it's been well known for a long long time and it and I get the sense that sporting are now saying they want 80 million because there's a few clubs that want him or because he's had a good season.

4:37They've got every right to do that because he's under contract, but it just goes against like, it's just not the way to behave. Don't shake on a gentleman's agreement and then change your mind. I mean, that's the whole point of a gentleman's agreement. It's like, it's meant to be binding and it will sour the relationship. And you look at what he's done at Sporting in the last couple of years and you look at the success that sporting have had over the last couple of years and as a fan of sporting you're going to be there going where are my loyalties here then because they have to be with the club but have my club behave badly and what about the last two years and Jokeres has been such a good player for us it's just a bad way for this to happen and I just hope that they can get in a room and resolve this for Manchester United's sake but no I think for their sake as well because how some I saw some people this morning saying well this helps Man United it means a deal will definitely get done.

5:29I don't think it does help Manchester United. I think this is probably another reason why there's a bit of a delay because how do you resolve this issue if Sporting are saying we want 80 million and Jokic is saying you said 60? And then it's like just a complete and utter fallout. And if he doesn't go back for pre-season, you know, that's what worries me. He's going to refuse to go back for pre-season because if you've got two stubborn parties, one of them is not going to go, I'll just go for 60. It needs resolving. We need George Mendes here. We need somebody who has the power to broker deals, especially with Portuguese experience.

6:08Somebody needs to come in and broker this because Man United can't do it. I think George Mendes has got to be the guy because it won't get resolved quickly. It's not like my concern is now that this won't happen at the end of June. It won't happen in the middle of July. It will happen in bloody late August when Sporting realise they've got to do something. And that's no good for us. All right, it might get him a little bit cheaper, but we need him for pre-season. He needs a pre-season. We also know, another interesting point is as well, we also need to know if we're bloody going to get him. What if we wait until the end of August and then he signs for Arsenal or someone like that, and then you've got nothing?

6:48So from United's point of view, we need this to get resolved. And it clearly is an issue between Sporting and Jokeres, but it's one that's going to impact us. So I'm watching this with big interest now because we can't do a deal while they've fallen out because they don't want to let him go for what they'd agreed. And no one wants to pay what Sporting wants. So, yeah, I mean, I watch it with interest now because it's definitely game over between Jokeres and Sporting and he definitely wants out. But they need to resolve that situation very quickly. Playing going on strike is a bad sign, says Kai Anthony slash Sanchez.

7:27Look, he's got every right to go on strike if they've if they've gone against him. But it doesn't help our situation. No. Do you think we'll end up getting Jokeres marks as Daniel? as I said on Sunday from what I'd seen I'd be very shocked if we don't get him but this is a development I wasn't aware of this is more about this is a conflict now that's got nothing to do with us my big issue was whether United were going to raise the funds to do it you've now got a situation between Jocares and Sporting that we can't control thank you Daniel anyway disgusting by Sporting after all he's done for them says Dizzy and look I think Sporting needs to you know do some sort of pr here because i've spoke to a couple of sporting fans they're not particularly happy about it and their big concern is that you're just going to lose the trust of other players who see jokeres get treated like that by the club um man saves manscapes saved my date yesterday i cut the grass as mufc and patrick this sounds promising uh patrick lynch thank you very much for your super chat he says if i don't know if this helps united jokeres or amrim people will talk about bad attitudes and how amrim dealt rashford and ganacho we already had ten hog and claims of favoritism i don't think this will help amram's perceptions as patrick lynch yeah well let's just wait and see what happens with that one interestingly on the striker front um there is potentially another option um i would stick with jokeres of course i've said that before but you may have seen it yesterday reports coming out from italy that victor osman actually dreams of a move to premier league um now that to me means that that could be Manchester United.

9:04I think he is a Manchester United fan. I'm sure I read that before, but apparently he dreams of a move to the Premier League. So Osman at the moment is still very much on the table. I think the big problem you've got with Osman is that you've got a deal with Napoli. He has a release clause of£62 million. It's a lot of money. The problem with the Osman deal, and we all know it, it's the financial package. It's a lot of money and it's put a lot of Premier League clubs off because you've got to give Napoli 62 million and then you've got to give Ossiman probably, I don't know, what would Ossiman want?

9:42Three, 250, 300 grand a week. So it's a very, very big financial commitment. Napoli are notoriously difficult to deal with. It's not like you'd do a deal for 62 million installments. They probably want it up front. And if you want to pay in installments they'd probably want 65 70 so it's a very very big deal but the flip side of that is he's a very very good striker I mean I tweeted it earlier I've never seen a player more suitable for Chelsea that Chelsea ignore I think Osserman and Chelsea would go hand in hand perfectly but I don't think Man United are looking at Victor Osserman I don't I really don't I think that the The finances of that will not be easy to do.

10:24And people say, well, Jokeres is going to cost the same. I don't feel it is. I don't feel like I don't think that Jokeres is going to cost the same. I think Sporting are more open to add-ons and installments than Napoli probably would be. And also, I think the wage demands of Jokeres are going to be lower than that of Ossaman, who also has an agent, etc. So I think that, look, it's a consideration. And I think you've got to, as I said a couple of days ago, you've got to put yourself in that situation and at least have a conversation. If he wants to play in the Premier League and he wants to play for Manchester United, prove it.

11:00Prove it like Mbremo is. Prove it like Kunia has.

11:07But I feel like with Osserman, Man United have never really been in for him. There's a lot of stories about Man United, but I don't feel like we're in for him. But he is there. He is there. Personally, I think this Jokeres situation needs to be resolved. You talked how goalkeeper is important. What do you think of Lunen or Trubben? I know this is expensive option, but both young, says Taras. I think the word expensive and goalkeeper is a no-goer at the moment. I mean, funnily enough, because it is a news show, ESPN this morning reporting that Donnarumma wants to stay at PSG. Surprise, surprise.

11:39You know, I think it's important to always go back to these stories because at the weekend we had Donnarumma, Manchester United, Manchester City, blah, blah, blah. What did we say at the time? Very welcome to come to Manchester United. Very, very good goalkeeper. But guarantee this is one of the strands of transfers, one of the five strands of transfers where in this occasion it's definitely using Manchester United to get a new contract. And that is clearly what's happening there. I mean, look, I never really felt that Donnarumma was an option. He's too high profile, too expensive. And clearly just after a better contract at PSG.

12:20If this continues, Mark, would you go for Mateta, says Dale? No, no. I think that this position is so important that you cannot shift your focus. We need Jocarez. If we can't get Jokeres, you need Osserman. Because if you go beyond that, you're down to plan D. I mean, we know Liam Dallap was somewhere in plan A, B or C, wasn't he? So if you don't get Jokeres and you don't get Osserman and you didn't get Dallap, you can't be going down to plan D for such an important player. You just can't do that. Good questions. Keep them coming in. FIFA says, what's going on with Embermo? This is one of the things I wanted to talk about the most this morning, because obviously we're a community as well as the morning show being a news show.

13:07So I think it's really important just to have a bit of a catch up on what's going on with Mbemo for a minute. And then we'll get on to some other bits. You know what? I think with Mbemo, as I said, the Osserman, the Jokeres stories, of course, have taken over there. He's not a Man United player. He's not signed for Man United. We haven't had Here We Go. You look at what Liverpool just did last night with Verts. 150 million euro package for Verts. they are miles ahead of us and they've got Frimpong, Wurtz, Kürkez and they're going for another forward so we can all get excited about Kunya and we can all get excited about Embermo but bloody hell our biggest rival are way better than us and they're having a way better transfer window than us so there is levels to this game and at the moment we have only signed Kunya we have not signed Embermo.

14:01So where are we at with this? Patience. Patience. They're negotiating with Brentford and effectively United will not be held to ransom. So we've got a figure in mind and we're not really going to budge on it. So it's an interesting one. It reminds me a little bit, we're not there yet, but it reminds me a little bit of the Leicester situation with Harry Maguire where we got locked into a, we won't be taken for a ride. We negotiated for about six weeks and then still paid£80 million. I don't think we're in a position really where we can negotiate prices down for good players that other people will pay good prices for.

14:49My issue with Embermo is you either pay what Port Brentford want or you waste your time. Because Embermo wanting to come to Manchester United is great and he's a good player. But you know as well as I do that Newcastle have got the money to give Brentford what they want. So we can't negotiate a cheaper price just because the player wants to come to us. Brentford have got every right to sit there and go, we want 60 million. Newcastle would have given us 60 million. Give us 60 million or you're not having him. And United's card is, well, he wants to come to us. Fine. fine, if that's the case, let's see what happens in the last week of August.

15:30What I'm trying to say is I don't think for one minute Embermo's not going to be a Man United player, but let's not forget Brentford can control when this deal happens. Just because Embermo wants us doesn't mean we hold all the cards. They could easily go, fine, okay, if you're not going to give us what we want, transfer window closes on August 31st. We're under no obligation to do this deal in the middle of June. we could do it in the middle of July maybe we'll do it early August maybe we will do it first week of July and it'll help us get some players in or actually maybe we don't need to do that maybe our targets aren't the same as you maybe we've got the money we need to get our players maybe we'll speak to you in August so we've got to be very very careful about this because we have to we have to please Brentford um so I think with Embermo could be today here we go could be next month here we go my personal feeling is we will get there but and I think we will realize that we're not in a position to play hardball um and Brentford will know we need this deal done when we're not in a strong position is what I'm trying to say we've had a terrible season everybody knows that Amarim's pre-season is really important it's really hard for us to barter good you know really good deals in a situation when you're as desperate as we are but we also have to try and get the best price because we don't have a load of money.

16:48So it's a balancing act for Manchester United. And I think we are trying to negotiate the best price, which is the right thing to do. But I think it will become a point where we realise we've actually got to move on this. So could be two weeks, could be today, but that's what's happening with Embermo. It really is this negotiation that Brentford want more money than we want to pay. If we weren't to get Osman or Jocharez, should we wait till January? says Hasnan. I mean, mate, I think it's a fair question, but I also think, and correct me if I'm wrong, I saw somebody on the chat last night saying about, can't wait to see Xerxi dropping in between Kunia and Embermo.

17:28And it made me scared. It made me scared because I was like, if we go into next season with Rasmus and Xerxi as our strikers, don't come moaning when we don't finish in the top eight. I think this is a... And that's no slight on Rasmus or Xerxe, but we've seen that what happens there. This is priority number one position for some of us. We cannot not get a striker this summer and then think we're going to have a progressive season next season. We absolutely have to go and get a striker of quality this summer. And Kosi says, I had a scary dream and on accosting as top four. Owen says, I think Jokeres will help the younger players like Obi.

18:10Guidance is important. Good point. Hearing all this news makes me really excited. And I think Man United will win the league, says Aimi. Thank you very much for that. Daniel says, do you actually think the Mbermo signing will go through? Starting to get worried since the first bid was rejected. No, I think it will go through. Yeah, I think it will go through. Gaz says, Brentford could also be working on a replacement before we sell them, which actually would be very intelligent as well, Gaz. I mean, just talk about Inanna there and talking about Inanna and talking about the Verts deal, which, look, I've got to be honest, Liverpool are our biggest rival.

18:50They're certainly my biggest rival. They're the club that, you know, you look at and want to compete with. They've just won the Premier League 20 times. They've just broken the British transfer record. And, you know, in rivalry, it would be wrong, I think, if you didn't look at that and be a bit jealous. They're just a better run football club than us. And, you know, I was at Anfield this time last year, actually. And that's an exercise in how to look after your heritage. I mean, they just never let Anfield get knocked down anyway by American owners so they can build a super stadium where Beyonce can come and play every year.

19:30They just wouldn't let it happen. And unfortunately, we are letting it happen. But they're just a better club than us at the moment. And that's just the bottom line. We have to try and aspire to be that. It's very difficult to see how that can happen. But what I will say about the Verts deal is that is now with Frimpong, 150 million euros that Leverkusen have received from Liverpool. when you add on Frimpong as well. Who is the manager of Leverkusen? Eric Ten Hag. Eric Ten Hag has got£150 million in his pocket to spend on transfers. If he's got anything good about him, he will buy Anthony and Anana for£100 million.

20:20You know, he can put this right. If he really thinks they're worth what he paid for them, buy them from Manchester United now. You know, you've got the money. Put it right. You've got a chance to put it right. The money's in your pocket. An honouring goal. Anthony on the wing. Let's move. 100 million. 100 million and all is forgiven. Yeah. There's no excuses. He's got the money. Definitely got the money. But you know what? It's not going to happen because he's already bought a goalkeeper. He knew he had 100 million in his pocket. And guess what? Didn't ring up an honour. Fleck in from Brentford.

20:59scammed you know what I'm getting angry you know what two years ago two years ago we had one of the best goalkeepers in the world he'd just won the Golden Glove he was a legend of the dressing room he was a legend of the club he was in his prime we let him go for nothing to spend£50 million on Inanna all because Ten Haar wanted it to happen unbelievable absolutely unbelievably stupid thing to do And I backed Ten Hag, but I thought that was stupid. A lot of people in the dressing room thought it was stupid. He let De Gea go for nothing to spend 50 million pounds on Inanna. Two years later, even the prat who did it accepts he was a prat because he's got 100 million pounds in his Skyrocket.

21:47And he goes and buys Fleck in from Brentford when Inanna is available. That just goes to show you what Ten Hag thinks of Inanna. This is the guy that actually binned De Gea off for free to spend£50 million on Inanna. Two years later, he needs a goalkeeper with£100 million in his pocket. Oh, no, no, no, thank you. It just says everything about how shite that deal was, that the guy who masterminded it at his new club with money in his pocket hasn't gone anywhere near him when he's available for£25 million. I mean, Inanna's available for£25 million. and Ten Hag has still gone, no, no, no, no, no, no, flecking, yeah, yeah.

22:27Unbelievable, unbelievable. But that just shows you, I always said that has got to be one of the worst bits and we have got a considerable amount of worst deals ever at United, bloody loads. But De Gea gone for free to spend£50 million on Inanna has got to be one of the worst deals we've ever done. And if you don't agree with that, even Ten Hag agrees and it was his idea. Won't go anywhere near it. Won't go anywhere near Inanna when he could have took him with him to Leverkusen. Apparently he is interested in Anthony. I'll give him that. But I saw some story actually about Anthony the other day.

23:06I think it was from, is it Ten Hag's agent or something? Saying that Ten Hag didn't want to spend£80 million on Anthony. Well, we did. Apparently Inter valued Inanna at£7 million, says Madaf. Do you think Glynios getting early credit in the transfer markets, says Manoj? I don't know what that means. Any updates around goalkeeper like Chevalier? We have been linked to him, Matt, but goalkeepers... In relation to the goalkeeper, we can talk about it every show, every day, and nothing will change. I think the vast majority of us want a new goalkeeper at Manchester United, absolutely need it, desperately has to happen, get it done.

23:48But what did I just tell you there? The guy that could say, you know, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope. Help us, Obi-Ten Haag. You're our only hope. Now I'm going to get Fleck in. I'm going to leave you to it. I'll leave you to it with Inanna. So Fleck in hell. You're right, Sandy. That's the problem we've got with Inanna. Ten Hag did this ridiculous deal that everybody thinks is stupid and the only person who could save us from it is the person who did it who needs a goalkeeper and he goes and buys Flecken. So if the guy who bought Inanna doesn't want Inanna, who else is going to want him?

24:32And that's what I mean. We need a goalkeeper. Amrim wants a goalkeeper. Wilcox backs him on that. but they've got this huge problem of Inanna. And I don't know what Inanna's wage is, actually. I suppose that has to be brought in as well. But he's on 120 grand a week.

26:25Akat Anana's current book value is approximately 26.3 million. This is the remaining cost of his transfer from Inter, which is amortised over the length of his five-year contract. To avoid a loss on FFP, Manchester United would need to sell him for at least this amount. So we need£26 million to level off and he's on£120 ,000 a week. Forget about it. Forget about it. You know, who's going to do that? Ten Hag won't bloody do it. I mean, I'm sure somebody said to Eric Ten Hag, £120 ,000 a week,£26 million to Man United, you've got an honour.

27:05Anana? Never heard of him. You bought him. You got rid of De Gea. I've bought Fleck in now. So this is the problem we've got with Anana is you've got a very, very, very, and 120 grand a week's a lot for a goalkeeper. 120 grand a week for a goalkeeper is probably the same as about 200 grand a week for a player. And people will say, well, it's not. It's the same. No, goalkeepers tend to be, I mean, look, I'll prove it to you. Best paid goalkeepers in the world.

27:37Let's do Prem. Let's do Prem. Best paid goalkeepers in the Prem.

27:46So you've got Leno, 90 grand a week. Edison, 100 grand a week. Martinez at Villa,£120 ,000 a week Alisson,£150 ,000 a week So,£120 ,000 a week is a lot of money for a goalkeeper Look, Nick Pope at Newcastle is apparently on£60 ,000 So£120 ,000 a week is a lot for a goalkeeper I think Saudi is the only option for Inanna and there doesn't seem to be abundance of interest. But having said that, the Saudi league is not open at the moment. The Saudi league doesn't start their season until August. So their transfer window is the same as us. Just because Al-Halal are playing in the Club World Cup doesn't mean every other club has got to do transfer window at the moment.

28:39But yeah, the problem with Inanna is moving him on. £120 ,000 a week, book value of£26 million. Somebody just said, what's Rasmus' book value? Let me just double check this. So Rasmus book value for FFP is 38.4 million at the moment. So if United were to sell for a price above that, it would be considered profit. Anything below that would be a loss. Apparently we paid about 64 million pounds for him. So, yeah, I mean, you would basically need 40 million for Rasmus to break even. I can't see us achieving that either. I can't see anybody giving us 40 million for Rasmus. I just don't see it. But I think Anana is definitely more of a problem.

29:27Let me just catch up on some of your comments. Brilliant show this morning, by the way. Some interesting stories. I mean, that sporting Jokeres one is a concern. I think that needs to get resolved. It never goes well. In my experience, when you've got a club and a player that are on strike, it tends to be a deal that then happens at the end of the window because stubborn people fall out. You want amicable. You want thank you very much. You want thanks for everything you've done and we're working with the club that you want. This is not good for the Ocarres deal if they've fallen out. Tom Smith says, Like Ajax, Ten Hag has little input on transfers at Bayern, so I doubt he could rescue us even if he wanted to, says Tom.

30:08What's your backup plan if plan A doesn't work? Says Red Devil Diaries. I'm not the CEO, mate, so it doesn't matter. I don't even know what Man United's plan A is. I think Cunha is a plan A signing. I think Mbermo is a plan A signing.

30:26But, yeah, I don't know. You know, Dorgu was plan B behind Mendes, wasn't he? Do you think United are trying to use Champions League add-ons when they negotiate, like give Brentford 10 million if we qualify for the Champions League, so Slaze? Probably. They all add up, though, don't they? I mean, remember, we've got to pay£90 million this summer on transfers from other summers. So, remember, this always adds up. Azir says, I'm a little concerned with outgoings. Sancho will likely run his contract down and not convinced anyone comes in for Rashford on his wage demands. I said it to you a couple of days ago against Sancho.

31:00I'll just repeat it very quickly with bullet points. Jadon Sancho is not going to go anywhere for a transfer fee. We will cover his wages off this final year, probably on Dortmund, and then he'll be a free agent. The minute he didn't go to Chelsea, it became abundantly clear that he was about the money. jesse j fc because um he was offered a decent wage at chelsea um and a contract and he said no um so that why would you say no to that like chelsea london good club champions league football will be in the top six in the premier league competing you know why would you why would you say no to that it's financial it's financial he wants to run his contract down so in a year's time He can earn millions of pounds as a free agent and get a bigger wage.

31:48And he knows for the next year he can earn 300k a week at United. So obviously he won't play for United, but we'll have to supplement his wages. He isn't going to say no to Chelsea to come back and then get a transfer fee for United somewhere else. So he's definitely running his contract down. Anybody who thinks we're getting a transfer fee is crazy. If he wanted to move somewhere, he'd have gone to Chelsea. no one else as good as Chelsea are going to come in for him give him 300 grand a week and then give us 15 million pounds he's going on loan somewhere so you're right we're definitely not getting a fee for him we will get a fee for Canaccio um let me just double check Anthony's book value because I think this is an interesting one I've got a feeling it's um 30 million um yeah I think I think I think Anthony's is around£30 million.

32:41So you're probably going to break even on Anthony but get£200 ,000 a week back in wages. So a little bit of money there. Ganacho would bring some money in. Rashford's got to go. Rashford's got to go. We just don't know where he's going to go, do we? Would you rather keep Zerksi or Rasmus, says Toby. I feel Zerksi's a lot more technical and versatile and can play as 10 as well as a 9, says Toby. I think we need two strikers, though. If I was getting rid of Rasmus, I'd want another striker to come in as well as another striker. So I don't feel Xerxes is a striker. I don't think he plays like a striker in the box.

33:18I think you need two strikers. So that's my only concern. If Rasmus goes, I want another striker. Is it a concern that our academy favours attacking players like Obi who have good numbers but are poor technically? Another future Rashford? I don't know what that's all about, Kai. I mean, I've read it, but come on. Why is Obi technically bad? And he's only 17. YG says great job as always someone I think we're completely overlooking is Jao Pedro at Brighton yeah but this is a great point by YG because obviously I didn't watch England's laughable performance against Senegal last night completely deserved I watched the last 15 minutes and Senegal were really good but you know no way was I doing a watch along for that shite but it's interesting because Paul Scholes put out an Instagram post about Ezi saying just sign him and I thought you know what it's a little bit like what you're saying YG about Jao Pedro and that's fine absolutely fine you know I could sit and watch a game of football you know like the Portugal game against Spain and I could look at somebody like I don't know Liao and say sign him perfect actually I could Instagram that and say sign him there's nothing wrong with you saying that YG or me or Scolzi, but I sense in our community, it can be quite frustrating because there's just no relevancy or more importantly, there's no realism to that.

34:48Why would you sign Jao Pedro when you're signing Cunha and Mbermo? Why would you sign Rafael Liao when we don't play with wingers anymore? Why would you sign Ezi when you've signed Cunha and Mbermo? And this is what I mean. I think sometimes you get these opinions from ex-players and they've got every right to do them. I'm not knocking them, but they're not based on reality. You know, if Paul Scoles was in charge, who would you not? The question I would ask Scoles is, so who are you not signing to sign Ezi? Because I like the signing of Ezi, but you can't sign Ezi, Cunha and Mbremo. We can't afford 60 million three times for three number 10s.

35:30so who would you go for Kunya, Embermo, Ezi which one are you not going to go for that would be my question because you can't sign Ezi after you've signed Kunya and Embermo it just doesn't work we're not that club we can't have three number 10s coming in who are£60 million so yeah we're not signing Ezi basically

35:56but I think what we have to do is focus hard in on what we're doing. And we've spoken about Embermo and obviously Cunha's coming in. He scored for Brazil last night. And we've got to get the striker sorted, you know? Ajax and Manchester United are different clubs. Ten Hag should never have been appointed, just my opinion, says Constantine. Apparently, I've done that from Madaf as well. Eric Ten Hag won't buy United players because he got competitive owners and director of football. Also, if we keep buying good players, how many years before we've become competitive, says Aki. Sir Marcus Rashford down the middle next season, says James.

36:34The relationship is broken, check record Portugal, says Padinha. We literally spoke about this in the first 10 minutes, mate, so I presume you're a little bit late. We have spoken about that in relation to Jochores. Rashford down the middle next season, what, for Manchester United? James, honestly, I wouldn't even say I'd be stunned. I'd think I was dreaming. if I saw Marcus Rashford playing for Manchester United next season it can't work I don't know whether anybody actually thinks that could happen but it can't work because the first place to start and this is where it ends I mean look, if we're being honest there'd be people in the fan base that don't want him anywhere near the club anymore anyway sadly I think that there are people like that that have just fed up of him and want him to move on.

37:27Obviously, there's people in the fan base that would love him back. You know, I accept that. But the big issue here is we should never fall out about Rashford, actually, because it can't work. Because Amerim has buried him publicly for a month in January and Rashford went behind his back to do that interview. That was the end. Like, that's it. Rashford and his camp do not like managers that speak about Rashford publicly, as we saw with Oli when he had to apologise for it. And Amorim does not like players who go behind his back. And that's not going to change. You've got to respect both sides. Amorim is notorious for when he's made his mind up with somebody.

38:12That's it. And Rashford and his team are notorious for protecting themselves. And that's fine. if they came back together it would be like two toxic people in a relationship if broken up going for a drink and oh maybe we do like each other and it'll be fine for a week and then it will all go wrong on top of that you've got a very attentive media very attentive media who will never let it rest so there's just no way back whilst while stammering's the manager there's no way back so I wouldn't even think about it um you're right though if there was a place in the team for Rashford it would have to be up front I don't like Rashford as a striker um I think Villa made a mistake putting him up front I think he was better off the wing um I think I think he's a left winger and we don't have a place for that um Rashford's big priority is trying to find a move and that's not easy that's not easy at all um if Barcelona don't want him uh Rugby says what would your dream transfer be and why would those players work for Manchester United?

39:17Oh God, I feel like I'm getting a spot under my neck. That's painful. Um, um,

39:27my dream transfer window. Napoli, here we go. Kevin De Bruyne. Um, Leroy Sane set to join Galatasaray as per Ben Jacobs. You know what? I wish I'd predicted that. That is such a, that is such a Turkish signing Leroy Sane isn't it it really is um good signing as well

42:06so um my dream transfer window okay um well i want a goalkeeper so i'll give you a goalkeeper what goalkeeper do i like

42:22i'm not really a goalkeeper type of guy let me just say emmy martinez i want a goalkeeper so i'd do that

42:33I want a midfielder I think Adam Wharton would be perfect really obviously Kunia and Mbuma I'm very happy with Jokeres they're my five priorities they're my five dreams if I'm being completely honest I think that's where I would focus on I would like a wing back of course I would oh Costa I think I'd like Costa more than a Martinez actually Dan you're right I knew there was a goalkeeper out there that I preferred yeah I think Costa for me would be would be the goalkeeper that I would want definitely yeah to clarify I was suggesting Jao Pedro as a striker if Jokic Rez options stalls Premier League proven and only 23 says YG I like I like Pedro at Brighton I do but But apparently, I mean, Newcastle are interesting.

43:30In one way, taking Mbemo from Newcastle is a real feather in our cap. But what I like about Newcastle is they'll just go again. And they're looking at Alanga now. Apparently, they're going to get James Trafford in goal. Some people have mentioned in this chat that maybe that's where we should go. They're looking at João Pedro now. I look at Newcastle next season and that's where I want to be. we can talk about Liverpool forget it Newcastle's where I want to be because you're going to have a top three of Arsenal Liverpool and Man City again and if you want top four because top five next year is not guaranteed for English clubs we've got too many clubs in England in the in Europe next year that could dilute our performance in the awarding of two spots so it might be top four next year for the Champions League it might not be top five we need English clubs to do really well in Europe next year if we want it to be top five.

44:24So let's say Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa, they're the sort of teams that we've got to compete with next year. I'll look at that Newcastle side, Isaac, Gordon, Murphy, Harvey Barnes back up to Gordon, Alanga back up to Murphy or starts ahead of Murphy and then Pedro back up to Isaac. That's a good front six. It's going to be hard next season. That's why getting these players in are so important. Could you wish my girlfriend Erin a happy birthday? Love from Ireland says Keane Maha. There you go. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, anybody whose birthday it is. 20 ,000 watching as well. Absolute legends.

45:08Thanks everyone this morning.

45:12Ilanga and Isaac will have the Swedish connection, says Ilanga. Are Sweden going to be good in the World Cup? There are a lot of good players. Bergval's Swedish, isn't he? You've got Isaac, Jokeres, Ilanga, Bergval and Lindelof. I get mixed up between Sweden and Norway. But they look like they've got some Kulisevski as well. Yeah, they're going to be average. This is the problem. You say they've got three or four good players, but then their midfield and defence is shit. Yeah. But look, going back to Jokeres, Fraz says if we get Jokeres, do we sell Rasmus or loan him? I would keep him, mate. I really would.

45:58Andres says Rashford isn't good enough to want to move to Barcelona. They would be crazy to sign him. He is more of an Everton player. Okay, Andres. thank you for that if we're struggling to negotiate with clubs like Brentford we need more plan A type players so we're not held hostage in the transfer markets says John JJ says do you think Jokeres falling out with sporting will help us get him or will it make things more difficult look if you tuned in a little bit late we started the show off talking about Jokeres Portuguese reports this morning are saying that he's out when it comes to sporting he's not going back for pre-season he's basically on strike, he's fuming with the club, they've fallen out, the relationship is broken.

46:40This explains a lot. This is a problem because you can be Man United, Juventus, Arsenal, wanting to sign Jochores, but if the player and the club have fallen out, you try and arrange a party. Imagine your neighbours, John and Karen, right? All year everyone's been talking about their 20th wedding anniversary and what a great party it's going to be in June. And then in May, John gets caught with his trousers down. I'm not going to say who it's with. Personally, I always thought he went that way, but you know. Anyway, Karen's like, that's it. I'm not having a party with him. And you lot are like going, oh, we've really been looking forward to this party.

47:25Can't you sort it out? I can't get the vision of John literally. No. That party's not happening until those two people sort it out. And if they can't sort it out, the party's not going to happen. So Man United want this party. But Jocarez and Sporting, they can't solve their differences at the moment. So the party won't happen. It's a worry. It's a worry. You know what? Who are you going to call? George Mendes. We need George Mendes to sort this out. 100%. He is the guy, when it comes to certainly Portuguese-focused transfers, he helped us out with Yoro and Agate, and we need George Mendes to get involved in this because it needs a third party to say, Oi, Karen.

48:24Oi, John. I just realised I'm still focused. I want to solve that. I want to solve that, even though it's hypothetical. Oi, Jokeres, oi, sporting, sort yourselves out. You've had a great relationship together. You've worked really, really well. Obviously, it's time to part ways. Remember the good times, shake hands on it, and do what's best for each other, because I tell you what, this is silly. You had a gentleman's agreement, your wedding nuptials. You said, till death do us part. This is the death of the relationship. Let's move on. if Sporting have gone back on an agreement with Jochores, they're bang out of order.

49:04Meet each other halfway. So it is a concern. I'm not going to mess about. It is a concern. It's easily solvable, but the longer they're not talking, this doesn't help a deal happen because you can't just go, he's not happy, we're going to get him because Sporting go, here's a contract. This is the contract. so if you don't want to pay what we want then you won't be getting in and United or anybody else can't say well you said this where does it say it in the contract and Jokeres' contract goes for three more years 2028 so without that it becomes problematic Brian B says sorry random idea but ever thought of doing mini documentaries of United legends would be amazing for his younger fans to learn of United's history says Brian B thank you Not in a transfer window because that's all anyone wants to talk about.

49:58Maybe in the season. Who's on the bench if we sell Sancho, Rashford, Anthony and Ganaccio's rupee? Mate, come on. Calm your tits. What are you talking about the bench for? I mean, I could fill the bench easily straight away with all them lot gone. Because let's be honest, only Ganaccio was here between the end of the season anyway, since Christmas. looking at it now would you bring back Dean Henderson says Liam no Dean Henderson's ball distribution is not very good like he's a good shot stopper but his ball distribution is not good so he's not the solution there's no point getting Dean Henderson back who's a better shot stopper than Anana but his distribution is not good you've got to get the goalkeeper that you want people weren't wrong two years ago when they said that we need a ball playing goalkeeper but fundamentally they need to be a better shot stopper than it's all right going oh let's get a better ball playing goalkeeper than De Gea but you've got to also do the fundamental and make sure that they're a better shot stopper as well so you need a shot stopping ball playing goalkeeper in the modern game that's what you need is Wharton a transfer that could be next summer since Casemiro be off the books like you've said before might not fix all issues this summer says Matt yeah I mean we might not solve the midfield this issue this summer I don't see how we do as I said to you last week I was told that Casemiro or Maynou have got to go if we're going to buy a midfielder because, you know, we need to clear a space.

51:27My nephew wouldn't matter the match and the opposing manager saying his praise to his current manager. He's only nine. Can give him a shout out. He loves football. I'm a long term viewer. This is Dale. Shout out to Mason. Well done. Keep it up. Any news on Malassia, says Lee. The news on Malassia is irrelevant because we'll get next to nothing for him anyway. So, you know, his wage is low and his value is low. So I don't think it's, I think the reason people don't talk about Malassia is because even when he does go, it's not like it's going to, it's not going to change the world, is it? So I think that's probably why people ain't really massively talking about it.

52:09Let me have a quick look. There's no other news. I can't see anything, which is good. Andres is frustrated with our overrated player. Surely Belieber is a better option than Walsh. I do like Belieber, Cabba, but getting him out of Brentford seems a season too soon as well. Why can't we sell Casemiro for 10 million to a club in the US? They will pay him the same wage usually. Can't someone call Beckham, says Tusha. Casemiro doesn't want to go. Casemiro, look, said the same about Jadon Sancho. it's more understandable with Casemiro because he's actually delivered in a Man United shirt a lot of players these days you've seen it with Trent it's happening more and more people see a contract with two years left on it and they're happy to just run it down they're living their lives a year or two ahead normally players are like I want to go this summer I want to go this summer you know but players are more than comfortable now going in 12 months time I'm out a contract, I'll be able to make a shitload of money.

53:13I'll stay here for 12 months. Casemiro is definitely in that mindset of my next contract. I want to be free from a contract and I want to make good money because it will be my last one. So Casemiro, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't run his contract down. Yeah. George Mendez says Fletcher needs to be the marriage counsellor between Sporting and Yocarez. Yes. So look, I think with Yocarez now, we need that to get resolved before anything else will happen. And also, I think we obviously need to get the Mbermo deal resolved as well. Thanks, everybody, for watching today. Absolute legends. Eight o 'clock show tonight is normal and the two o 'clock show.

53:53If anything happens, of course, we will go live as well. Really appreciate that. And have a good day, whatever you're doing. Speak to you in a little bit. Take care.
