1:42Hello everybody, good morning and welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United transfer news. Lots to get into as United play a gamble, I suppose. basically we will not be rushed we will not overpay and we will not sign players that aren't committed to Manchester United this sounds great from Omar Barada but is it a bit of a risk when actually the truth is different we need players in for pre-season we can't sit there and do what we've done for the last 10 years so what's the latest with Embermo with people saying it could run into July what's the latest with Jokarez now who's posted an Instagram post last night funnily enough not the only person who went on instagram and socials late last night um i was a little bit drunk i'm a little bit hungover this morning so yeah i probably said stuff last night that i wouldn't say i didn't mean it i just think truth bridge comes out after five lagers so yeah uh i got in a bit of trouble i think but um yeah say what you say what you think you know sometimes we don't i don't i don't think people do that enough uh anyway uh so we're talking about the latest about Jocares.

2:49Also interesting around Xerxes' future at Manchester United. A bit of an opinion piece coming in from iPaper this morning. We've got a little bit about Emi Martinez from Fabrizio Romano as well. So yeah, lots, lots going on. Jay Law, big shout out. He says, I'm hung over too. Got loads of bloody members in the chat this morning. Big up, big up the member crew. We've not got members only on, have we? No, no, there are people there. But shout out to Simon, Mikhail, Sarath, Guy Fawkes, Stuart, Shay. Just seem to be a collection of member chats. Could see badges there. Hope everyone's doing well. Okay, let's fly into it then.

3:25So where are we at this morning? Fantastic show with Terry last night. I watched it this morning, by the way. Really enjoyed the four minutes in when his mic started echoing. I love it when things, technical problems go wrong with other people because it always seems to go wrong with me. Sets, cameras, everything. So where are we at this morning? Well, I want to just start off with Embermo very quickly. We haven't really spoke about Embermo much this week. James Ducker in the Telegraph is saying that Manchester United are expected to spend around £60 million on Embermo. And there's also another report coming in that United are confident that they'll have this deal done by pre-season.

4:02Pre-season, for anybody who doesn't know, actually is next month, obviously. And that means that this... But if that report is true and that's coming out this morning, United, Brentford are holding out for 60 million. And, you know, we're talking about preseason. If that's true. And remember, this is we're just going through the latest news at the start of the show. And then we give the opinion. If it's true that United are confident that they will get Embermo done by preseason, that's a month away. So the player wants to come to United and we're a month away from getting the deal done. That has to be about what Omar Barada said, which is this.

4:44Andy Mitton says that I met Omar Barada last week at Old Trafford and asked him if it was difficult to attract new signings given the perception of United as a club in decline. Omar Barada shook his head, adding that he was interested in recruiting players who want to join Man United because they believe in the club, not whether they were in Europe's elite competition. He said that it wasn't difficult and if any didn't want to come because the team aren't in the Champions League, then United probably don't want them anyway. I mean, to be honest with you, I'm not a massive fan of Omar Barada. You know, I'm not.

5:16From what I've heard of him, from what I've seen of him, I'm not a big fan of his. I think that the jury's still out on him. And I don't think he actually understands Manchester United yet. I think he just does PR because I just think that's a big load of crap. I've never heard such crap in all my life. it's just cheerleader bollocks that we don't need we need reality I understand why he's saying it but we don't want players that don't want to come to United we don't want players that want to play in the Champions League we don't want those players well you wanted De Lapp you literally wanted De Lapp and he went to Chelsea because they're in the Champions League so you're a liar there straight away there's nothing wrong with chasing the best players and then going actually I'm going to choose Arsenal because they're in the Champions League.

6:05Actually, I'm going to choose Chelsea. I don't know why we get so hung up on, well, if they don't want to come here, we don't want them anyway. We do want them. We want good players. You know, there's plenty of players in the Championship that will come to Man United because we're Man United, but we want the best players. So I don't know why we get all, I don't know, I just see through the PR of it. It's like, oh, if you don't want to come to Man United, we don't want you. Well, we do. We do want you. We want to talk to you. we want to sell the project and if you say that the project's not good enough that fine we've had the chat what i'm trying to say is osman may want champions league football are we gonna go well we don't want you then we don't want you have a chat have a chat with him and you might be able to sell the project so that's what i mean about these these these lines get put out and everyone goes united United, United, United.

6:58You know, we've seen it all. We've won the last... You know, I love all that. Of course I do. But we're also shit. We're also terrible. That Europa League final was abysmal. That last season was disgusting. We can't sit there and go, well, if you don't want to come to Man United, forget it. You know, if you want Champions League like football, forget it. You've still got to have a chat with them and go, look, maybe Jokeres wants Champions League football. Maybe Akatike wants Champions League football. Maybe Osman wants Champions League football because it's the elite tournament. If I was playing football, I'd want to play in the Champions League.

7:32We cannot say, wow, if you want Champions League football, we don't want you. We do want you. We've just got to get in the conversation and try and get the best players. But with someone like Mbermo, that is clearly what we've done. You know, he probably would. He's never played Champions League football, to be honest. but where I worry a little bit is and some people have been saying you know you're going off on a tangent a little bit it's not that deep it is if you stay with me I think we've got a CEO who really believes that we're Manchester United in the sense that you know you should be coming here you know if you don't want to come here then we don't want you but it what worries me about that is we've we've made this mistake for 10 years and you know where I'm going with this I'm talking about negotiations.

8:20If we're in negotiations with Brentford and Brentford wants £60m and we're sat there going we're Manchester United, you know, we'll wait this out. We will wait this out to pay what we want to pay because we're Manchester United. That doesn't work. We tried that with Leicester. We still paid£80m for Harry Maguire. We tried that with Sporting. We still paid£60m for Bruno. We tried that with Dortmund. We missed out on a year and then came back the next year and still, I mean, look at the Jadon Sancho deal we wanted Sancho this summer before we thought they'd lower the price they didn't and then a year later we went and paid what they wanted the year before so I just think I hope actually within the football club this whole we're Manchester United um if you don't want to be here then we don't want you and if you don't give us a realistic price we'll just will play hardball we're not that club as Seb says to me when we're playing football in the back garden and I try and skin him he'll go you're not that guy and we're not that club I believe I'm that guy and I think you're not I'd have a right to believe they're that club but where we are at the moment I think efficiency and speed is more important than saving a few quid

9:37and what is going to be very interesting about people like Embermo and Jokeres is how quick we can get these deals done because I heard Jason Wilcox talking about Kunya yesterday and he basically said you know he mentioned something about speed you know not only is this a good signing it's great to get this deal done so early in the window and it felt like a bit of a tap on the back but what it needs to be is it's not that great to get this deal done early in the window look at what Liverpool have done they're on the verge of three signings we've done one and we're miles behind Liverpool. And it worries me again that we think we've done some great business early in the window.

10:15It's not that early now. It's nearly the middle of June. So we need to get moving. I think that's the thing for me. And I think it's a risk to play hardball on deals. Like Mbermo was coming up for two weeks ago now that we basically got the Ornstein, he wants to come to United. what are we negotiating he wants to come to us Brentford have lost their manager they want to start something new as well what is it we're negotiating and why is it we take so long um I think I think you know I'm I'm not saying that it's by any means stretching too long but the Mbermo deal really should just get done and then we move on to the next one we are a company not a club it means inefficiency and bureaucracy in all operations is baked in the cake says JDeep hi Mark love the channel can you call my brother Junaid a prat and happy birthday says Hamza happy birthday Junaid I'll say that Omar Barada is no I'm not going to say that Joseph we don't need a striker says Veghorse City, Arsenal and Liverpool proved it Cunyar and Mborme bring goals use funds on goalkeeper and centre midfielder rebuild not a title charge spend smart we do need a striker 100 % need a striker um I I saw an opinion well let's let's talk about the situation so Jokeres on his Instagram last night had uh this to say um what was it let me get it absolutely correct so the big updates on Jokeres really there is a lot of talks at the moment most of it false i will speak when the time is right so that was uh jokarez um last night um on his instagram now look these sort of things are did you ever used to like go on facebook years ago or um i don't know bloody friends reunited or whatever bollocks um you know and someone puts a post up saying fuming absolutely fuming and then someone replies you okay hon and they go I'll talk to you about it later.

12:19And you go, what the bloody hell are you putting that on social media for? What are you fuming about? And then you're going to talk to somebody else about it privately. Why don't you just talk about it privately? Why are you telling us about it? So again, I think with this Jokeres thing, you sort of like go, what's not true? What's not true? Is it not true that you didn't have talks with Arsenal? Is it not true that you want to leave sporting? Is it not true that you're angry? You know, Fabrizio Romano has said that there is a tense situation between sporting. But so what's he talking about when he says there's a lot of talk, but most of it's false?

12:52Romano says it's true. So what's false? Is it the fact, is it, is it that he's turned down Saudi? Is it that, you know, he had talks with Arsenal? He's going to speak when the time is right. It feels like, it feels like there's something bubbling with Jocarez. And I think that one thing I do remember tweeting last night after a few drinks was something about what I said on Sunday. So I still feel that this is a deal that Man United can do. And it's interesting as well because even last night, Fabrizio Romano said that Jocares remains a target for Manchester United, who are calling on a daily basis to understand his situation and his price.

13:37That sounds like, to me, you know, just looking at the situation, all we've had this week is Portuguese outlets talking about Arsenal and Fabrizio Romano talking about Man United daily speaking to Sporting and Jocares about the price. So, and that's it this week. Am I right? I'm not wrong. Am I not right? Like, that's all we, you know, that's all we have. we've got Portuguese reports on Arsenal, and then we've got Fabrizio saying that we're ringing up every day. I know if that was turned the other way, Portuguese reports saying United, but Fabrizio saying Arsenal are there every day, I know what I'd be more worried about.

14:31I'd be like, Fabrizio's talking about Arsenal, Portuguese press are talking about us. But actually what's happening is, Fabrizio's talking about us, Portuguese press are talking about Arsenal. Pletigol still has, as he's pinned tweet, Sesco Arsenal. I still think Arsenal are going to get Sesko. I think that's the player that they want to get. So I think when it comes to Jocares, it's risky. It's a game. It's a deadlock.

15:01I would acknowledge the concerns of the chat. Many people are talking about, happy birthday Tino, and many people in the chat are talking about whether we should pivot towards Eketike, which I've got a bit of an update as well. book.

17:03This is obviously not going to happen quickly. And Bermos is not happening quickly. So Jokeres is not going to happen quickly. I would hazard a guess that unless something goes like that, which it can do. The law of evidence, whatever that means, suggests that six weeks from now, you might have signed Jokeres, which is the end of July. you might see him on tour if you're lucky from this point because United take six weeks to do anything so from now to the end of July before this deal is done based on previous dealings which is quite a concern because it's you know you're going to miss pre-season so I think that that you know there is a bit of a transfer deadlock of course and it is a bit of a risky game and also also let's not forget if it does take six weeks okay you miss most of pre-season but what if what if you stay in this race and then for whatever reason you know sporting dig their heels in we're not going to sell him it goes into august or even worse somebody else swoops in and pays the money that we don't want to pay how much time have we wasted on the striker i mean regardless of whether we like it or not from the start of april to the end of may it was the lap and he went to Chelsea.

18:29So that was two months gone. For June, it's Jokeres. Now, if we don't get that deal done, you could be heading into mid-July without a striker lined up, which could be problematic. Rain says next week from Goldbridge, Mitrovic deal close. Yeah, Rain, I can't help you if you're unintelligent because 10 years of a news show reacting to news stories. I don't drive the story, mate. It comes out from people like Jokeres Instagram or Romano, what he said. I know you might struggle with it, but the clue is in what I'm talking about. You know when I say Fabrizio Romano said this or Jokeres did that, that's not made up, mate.

19:19That's coming from those people that I'm saying it from. So maybe it will be Mitrovic deal close next week, but it won't be made up by me. it will be because there's a headline from Fabrizio or Ornstein. That's how it works, mate. We're reacting to the news, so grow up. But yeah, I think with regards to the striker situation, I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens with it. But I am intrigued as to how quickly this will get resolved because we desperately do need a striker. And it's interesting, actually. I mean, I don't normally bring opinion pieces in, but there was an opinion piece this morning in the iPaper.

19:55I suppose it's news. And they were basically saying that I don't think it's come from the club. I think it was sort of like, you know, I think it's more of an opinion piece. I think they were trying to say that the club think it, but they don't. But it was basically, let's take it as an opinion piece. And it was basically saying that Man United feel that with Embermo, Cunha and Xerxes, it could be a really good front three. and I sort of look at it and go, no, I don't agree with that. I don't agree that Embermo, Cunha and Xerxi are going to get us anywhere near the top four. We need a striker.

20:37I like Xerxi. I do like Xerxi, but I think Xerxi needs to be a player that's competing with Cunha and Embermo and Ahmad and Mount. I don't like this false nine bollocks. I mean, that's just not the way Amrind plays. So we need a striker. We need a striker. And if we didn't get Jokeres and we didn't get Osman, then I would have to accept a Mitrovic or a Mateta more than a Xerxi because you actually do need a striker, definitely do. Interestingly as well, I don't know whether anybody... I need to catch up on some of your comments here. Welcome to Members Club, Sam. Thank you very much for joining and getting your badge in.

21:14Did you see what Fabrizio Romano said last night about Emi Martinez? basically said that he could be an option for Manchester United this summer, Emi Martinez, Fabrizio. I think he might have said it before, but that is quite interesting because, well, it excites me. I like it when credible transfer journalists come out with stuff like that because, yeah, we're all very much focused on what's happening in the Embermo deal and the Jokeres and Stryker situation, I suppose. I have got an update on Akitiko as well. But the goalkeeper, for me, is absolutely essential. Like, absolutely essential. I cannot overstate how concerned I'll be next season with Anana between the sticks.

22:14he may end up being player of the year, you know, but he doesn't instill confidence into the fan base, into the manager and into the team. So changing that goalkeeper to somebody that does, I think that would be really positive. What I would say about that is though, it's encouraging that we're being linked to Emi Martinez because it's not even that I want Emi Martinez. It's more the fact that we're being linked to emi martinez which means goalkeepers so it doesn't mean it will be him it's just good that we're being linked to goalkeepers but i think we all have to accept that this this would be a deal that would happen later in the window um because yeah i mean anon is rolling back up with his training bag isn't he in early july you know he's definitely one of the smilers walking into carrington donny van der beake fc you know if you know you know it irritates me when i see players i don't want at the club turning back up for carrington and all the pictures you know i just don't like it but yeah i think so um i believe zerksey could do it says class of 99 we still need a striker yeah i think he can fill in but what i'm saying is i don't want to start next season with zerksey's our number nine i don't want that would you rather hoyland be back up or striker or cheetos is gold star i like i like i I like Obi Martin.

23:34I do really, really like him, but I actually agree with the plan that was mentioned a few weeks ago about Kone. I'm not in a rush to throw these lads in. I think we've got a terrible track record of developing young players in recent years. Nobody's been a success. Ganacho, Greenwood, Rashford, they've not ultimately ended up being a success. They've had periods where you think they're going to be generational and then it just doesn't happen. So I'm of the opinion that Kony and Obi would be better off going to the championship for a season and doing what the likes of Jude Bellingham did, etc. You know, having a year in a really competitive team in the championship, I think would do them the world of good.

24:19I actually think this is what Man United need to do more. I don't know why we don't loan to the championship, really, because it's something Chelsea did a lot and it worked really, really well. and obviously the championship is England so I think it's better for them to go and do that than it is to play for Man United sporadically with the I just think the expectation is so big at Manchester United um I would like to see them get in game time Ahmad went there Ryan you're right exactly and look at Ahmad now I think and I think it's a subconscious thing with the fan base as well I think if you I think if we were sat there next season and uh Obi's scoring goals for Preston it's psychologically you're like well he's doing it he's doing it in the championship he's scoring goals so that when he comes back to Man United and he plays there's almost like that well he's already done it in the championship you know it feels like it just I think it's just a different mentality around a player that's been to another club and done it um Sam 48 welcome to members club is this new signing just scammer him to play bruno and casemiro as our pivot to be penetrated worse than bonnie blue and keep us 15th by christmas as monradini's back again our super football journalist in sweden eric says thank thinks jokeres will sign for united and i believe in him i well nicholas i believe in it as well um i believe if you want if you want if If you want a bit of info, not info, opinion, let's keep it.

25:51Let's call it opinion for now. I believe, in my opinion, that what has happened this week is that on Sunday, Jocares Man United looked really, really hot. And through the week, it's been extinguished a little bit. We've had Portuguese reports about Arsenal. We've had reports about unrest and issues around the fee. And here we are on Friday. Yet throughout that time, we've constantly been told by credible sources that United on a daily basis are asking to be kept updated. That just doesn't sound like what we would do if we didn't have an indication that we've got an opportunity here. i.e. he only wants Champions League football we're in there we're in this race I personally think there's a lot I think Jokeres is right there's a lot of false stories out there at the moment and the truth will come out soon and I think the truth is United have got an idea of what they want to pay and it's not what sporting want so I think there's a lot of stuff going on at the moment like oh other clubs are interested this that and the other I just think there's a lot of smoke and mirrors when the reality is it could just be that there's a deal there to be done but sporting aren't being as you know sporting want more money basically um do you think uh jokeres is angry with sporting because what sporting is asking for is similar to napoli asking for osman so we might go for osman instead of him says kevin um look on this on the other striker options at the moment um the eintracht frankfurt sporting director or ceo i can't remember which one good club frankfurt as well um i was in when i was in new york i was doing um a what did they call them not a speech um a forum and i was there was four of us on the forum talking about the industry and um one of the person sat next to me was like head of social media for eintracht frankfurt um so we're having a bit of a chat um really good club i like i like what they're doing um and it's a shame because obviously mamouche really good player goes to man city eketike is gonna go now but they basically came out last night and said look the price is 100 million euros and if we don't get it we won't we don't need to sell so I think that with Eka TK I just don't see how that's even I know Terry was talking about it last night I did that video last night we always have to we always have to remember that we will obviously have a lot of stories throughout the summer that aren't true and I just can't see how Eka TK Man United is true I've seen all the clips that he likes Man United I've seen the positive stuff said about Marcus Rashford but they they don't need to sell they don't need to sell and they want 100 million euros i think he's overpriced i do think he's overpriced but i think we're outpriced i don't think we can do that one um as for osman what what did we say yesterday morning united need two things and it fits in with what we were talking about with berada you've got to want to come to manchester united and you've got to set realistic wage expectations now if osman does that i think united will talk but i I don't know whether Osman's going to do that.

29:28I don't know what Osman's going to do. All we know is he's turned Saudi down. He could go back. Nigel says, why aren't we in for Mike Mignon? We desperately need a goalkeeper and he's cheap with one year left on his contract.

31:50just United. I think he's a very good goalkeeper. I think he's a good leader as well. But what I will say is the goalkeeping position at Man United is stressful. It's stressful. I've seen Depravka play well for Newcastle. I saw him playing goal for Man United and he just air kicked the ball. The pressure is huge. Toon Army Magpie, thanks for your super chat. I feel like they're slowing the Mbemo deal down to make us seem active in the transfer window when we're not, says Annie. Yeah, well, look, I think this is why I would always be an advocate for pressure on the club. We make this mistake so often, like we start doing stuff and people go, we're having a worldie.

32:33Oh, Murtagh, Madness and all this nonsense. And actually, every summer transfer window we've had, we haven't had a nine out of 10 summer transfer window in a decade. even last year where I liked the incomings I think the timings were shit I liked the players that we bought last year but when you look at the timings they were terrible Agathe, De Ligt, Masraoui way too late they came in way too late way too late and we didn't get rid of the players that we should have got rid of so we actually haven't had a very good summer transfer window for a long long time so it's always in my mind you judge a transfer window on August the 31st or September the 1st this year.

33:14But you will always get pockets of the fan base that start getting ahead of themselves going, oh yeah, Ineos are finally delivering. And on what? On what? What are they finally delivering on? Kunia is a good signing. We've sold nobody and we've bought nobody else yet. And to be honest with you, pre-season starts in about three and a half weeks. So, you know, we've got to keep the pressure on. They need to do more, 100%. And they can do more. I think they will do more. But, you know, we're not there yet. um hi mark did you my acl yesterday thanks for doing your streams every day gives us all something to look forward to no matter the good or bad times rest up with that kenzo hope you're doing well mate uh hamza says hi mark love the channel can you please come i've done that one uh done that one we need a striker we don't need a striker of course uh ian tracy says if we're a month away from finalizing a deal where the player wants to join us and the asking price and wages are reasonable it doesn't bode too well says ian um patrick lynch says is the delay because we're waiting for the new financial year it would make sense given how things have slowed so much as patrick uh yes also when's the next man united kit out i mean kunya being announced yesterday was not by accident i mean we are a commercial organization of course and that makes total sense i'm not going to ridicule the club for that yesterday new kit comes out kunya gets announced officially so i'd be looking at when the next kit comes out in relation to embermo like is is the new kit coming out the first week of july uh is the third kick third kit coming out at the end of july i mean it only becomes problematic when somebody says let's not announce jokeres until the end of july when the third kit comes available and amrim's there going so i'm not having three weeks pre-season with him so you can sell a few fucking shirts no beds so that's when it becomes a problem but yeah i mean look we probably missed that yes i mean i did tweet it to be fair kunya announced officially yesterday the day the kit comes out so i wouldn't i'm not i'm not saying set your clock by it but i'm sure the away kit's coming out early july end of june so i'm sure there'll be something around that because it'll be a missed opportunity if not.

35:31Nicholas says they were confident about De Lapp too. William Jones, welcome to Members Club. Jokeres is ours. He won't win trophies at United for years, plus he's nearly 30, says Zane, who's an Arsenal fan. Paul, welcome to Members Club. Thank you very much. And Mel as well. If Inanna does leave instead of Milinkovic-Savic, should we pursue Mignon as it was rumoured he could go for 10 million, says William Jones. Another one mentioning that. Papa Green and Castiel, welcome to the Members Club. Thank you very much for supporting the channel, by the way. If you are a new member, get your badge in.

36:00Appreciate that. Paul Govia is in the chat. Hope you're doing well, Paul. He says, it very much feels like the Glazer handbrake is on and a firm reminder who's actually running the club. I think that there is something in the fact that United will want to put some of these deals into July. The reality is that But you don't have to wait until July to get here we go. Like Cunha first payment probably won't happen until July. So, yeah, you're not wrong to say United are probably waiting until July to do some deals because it then falls into the financial year of, you know, obviously, if you don't know that there is a new financial year.

36:52that starts on July the 1st and everything that you spend before that goes into that year. So this financial year that we're in at the moment, it's got Dorgu, Agate, De Litt, Masraoui, because they were all done post July 1st last year. So it makes sense. But just because you got a here we go and Endermu today doesn't mean that you have to, you could even officially, like we've just done Kenya officially yesterday. I don't think our first payment for Wolves will go in this financial year it might do but it might not you know which is interesting actually i've got to give a shout out to james he messaged me yesterday about this um james um cave um who's been in the chat before um basically uh qualified uh chartered accountant and has done some work around football clubs and football finance remember yesterday we were talking about this is really interesting actually because there's a lot of mistruth and half truth and myth around financials so anana's book value is around what 20 30 million pounds um there are people out there that think that when it goes in onto july the 1st his book value goes down by another year because you're into another financial year so effectively his book value at the moment is let's say 30 and on July the 1st it goes down to 23 million because another year's gone.

38:15James thankfully shout out messaged us and said that's not how it works. Book value goes down based think of it on a monthly basis. So if Anana's got three years left on his contract and his book value is 30 million each month you're gonna you're gonna get 30 divided by you know 36 because there's 12 months in each year so effectively the book value goes down by the month not by the year that's how it's done so every month anana is at the club or anthony's at the club or rasmus is at the club that book value goes down by a month so that's how it works i think some people get confused about that um but yeah look uh what were we talking about before that i've sort of lost myself now um korshik says with united's with united wanting to be kept in the loop could it mean there is no room to improve the bid and not just by a few million also i feel united being linked to eketite might push sporting asking for much more says korshik we've got look we've got a great relationship with sporting i'm not necessarily worried about that i think we can do a deal with sporting.

39:33I think the concerning thing is that there's just this nonsense around Jokeres that he's not worth what he is. There's not much more he could have done this season in relation to goals, assists and having a good season. I agree with Redcourst. We should get a keeper and a centre midfielder. Bruno 10, Mbemo up front. It feels like we're trying to rush instead of a rebuild. Mbemo up front. I just don't get this keel at all. I sometimes worry that people don't actually watch football. Embermo's a right winger. He's not a bloody centre-forward. Have you looked at Embermo and his build? He's just not a centre-forward.

40:07That's not what he is. And he's certainly not a centre-forward in the mould of what Amrim wants. Watch next season, he'll be playing up front now. Rory C says, four main attackers available, Jokeres, Ossiman, Sesko, Eketike. Could you rate based on ability and likelihood which one we get? Surely we get one of them. hey I'd be very happy with any of those four I'll say that Rory okay Jocares I would say seven out of ten um and the most suitable for the system Osserman I would say chances of us getting him a two out of ten but I think he'd be very good in the system and very good in the Premier League Sesco I'd say one out of ten um not so sure he'd work brilliantly in our system to be honest with you um i think he suits a side that's um i think he suits a man city or an arsenal where they have a lot of possession around the edge of the box probing probing probing i think he's quite a technical player obviously he's very big as well um ekatike i would say again one out of ten um he's a boxer tricks ekatike and i don't think he's a bit like sesco i don't think he's completed his journey yet um i think eketike would work really well for somebody like newcastle where you know sometimes you're defending a lot you're going to counter and he gets a bit of space but also i think he's a you know a good player in a team that attacks a lot as well i think eketike is a really interesting player um really interesting like i think he could end up being you know very very special but i don't think he suits what united need at the moment we don't need another project we need sometimes you know everybody has different needs don't they everybody has this different needs um you know i think i remember a mate of mine like he was like when we were like um late teenagers going out you know he was looking for you know somebody his own age you know settle down with you know grow together maybe you know get married have kids go on you know nice holidays this that and the other got divorced in his late 30s what was he looking for then you know basically just sex you know somebody that was you know i nearly said someone to poke the fire but i don't think he was into pegging but yeah you know i don't think he was looking at building long-term bridges and relationships and traveling i think it was like i know what he likes playing golf he likes having his weekends to himself but on an evening someone to watch a film with, Netflix and chill.

42:37You know, you have different, what I'm trying to say is, you have different demands. And, you know, go into your local supermarket tomorrow, somebody will fancy chicken fajitas for tea. Someone will want a steak. Someone will be vegetarian. Different needs. And I think that sometimes I think people are quite naive in football in the sense that they don't realise that. Like, Eketike is a good player, but it's not the right fit for everybody. I think he suits Liverpool. I think it'd suit a Newcastle. It doesn't suit what we need. We need experience. And anybody that thinks we need another project up front, in my opinion, is crazy.

43:15Because look at last season. You have to put yourself back. I know it's horrible. I know it's traumatic. Therapy bridge. I want you to just, everybody take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Prepare yourself. I'm taking you back to February. I'm taking you back to some of them horrible results at Old Trafford. Are you there? Can you remember what it's like? Don't worry, we're not going to be here for long. We'll be here for 20 seconds max. Right, we're back at Old Trafford, being took apart by teams we should be beating. Who do you want up front? Another project or a proven striker like Ozymane or Jokeres?

43:54Yeah, me too. Right, we're back in the present. You can't start having a fantasy summer about, oh, Eketike or Sesko. They could be a really good player. We need what we were missing last year. And what we were missing last year was experience up front. That striker who says to the people who were shooting from 40 yards, what the fuck are you doing? You know, that's what we need. Thank you to Rory. Good point. I'm scared by prima donna players. I'm scarred by prima donna players, says Sean. Jokka is spitting his dummy out and threatening to go on strike is enough for me to want another striker by default.

44:31Yeah, but we don't know that's true, Sean. We don't know if that's true. Do you keep the glasses on when you do it, says Pedge. Cheers, Mark, to 41 months. Have a pint on me this weekend, says Justin. Thank you very much, Justin. 41 months, a member. Potentially irrelevant, but Ganaccio was on my flight from Madrid to Tokyo three days ago, was not in Italy, maybe shopping around Spain.

44:56I wouldn't be surprised if his family still live in Madrid, because that's where we brought him from, wasn't it? So I wouldn't read too much into what players are doing on holidays at the moment. I mean, look, if I was a Man United player after the season, I've just, you know, you've just had, I would be very, very much looking to get away and, you know, have a bit of a break. And Tokyo looks like a fantastic place to visit, by the way. so yeah I think on Ganacho look there's two things that we've got bubbling away at the moment Jocares I'm convinced that we're very very much in and doing stuff and Ganacho Napoli by the end of the month that's sort of where I am with that at the moment

45:58um there was something else i wanted to mention hopefully it'll come back to me let me just catch up on this sacking welcome to members club thank you very much uh what's happened to dog jeles he's 15 million this is uh yeah so he's a winger who was linked to us in january at salzburg uh i think he's 22 23 i don't think it's going to happen now is the honest answer i think we were looking at him but I think when you bring in in Mbermo and Kunja I don't think that then happens anymore

46:33yeah we've just brought a lad in from Southampton I forget what the name is 16 year old oh god what was his name someone in the chat will know so we are bringing in we're still looking at that young player profile but what I like about the summer transfer window at the moment and I must just state we've only done one signing is that these players are um experienced players and burmo kunya yokarez um jj says even if we get in burmo and yokarez why can i see it being a rashy a rarity to see kunya and burmo and yokarez all three of them in the starting lineup worried about amram's obsession with mount hey hey j um great point mate uh isn't jonathan david a free agent says yeah but no one in the Prem's looking at him again I don't know why we need top players to get us back to the tops as Damien thank you look it's I was thinking this the other day no manager ever really gets sacked in June unless you're Ange because it's all about signings it's all about sales isn't it owners get pressure in the summer because it's like get your checkbook out and then as soon as the season starts that gets parked you can't buy any players so the pressure goes on to the manager it's not always right it's not always right but that's just the cycle of football isn't it so when I look at what you've just said there there is no honeymoon period for Ruben Amrim next season that there isn't whether I want there to be whether you want there to be there won't be all that happened last season will not be forgotten the media love to dismantle Manchester United and they'll be ready to go and there are people in our fan base who must be quite miserable through the summer because they really built up in the last month of the season this Amory Mount movement and they were shouting about it and then the summer transfer window comes you You can't do a video even once a week now with Amirim out on it because people would laugh at you.

48:35But in the last month of the season, you could do Amirim out and people would be like, yeah, good one. So they're having to be very quiet at the moment. But I don't think that has disappeared. I think that's waiting to come back with the I told you so's and everything. So Amirim isn't home and hosed. You know, he's not getting another chance. He's got to hit the ground running. And this feeds into why you need to get the players in quick, get the preseason, hit the ground running in the season. Because you're right, he is going to do at least one thing next season, which is high risk. And that's before we know who he's going to buy.

49:17He's going to stick Bruno Fernandes in the midfield. Now, will that work? Won't it work? Let's wait and see. What's he going to do with Mason Mount? Is he going to play Mason Mount with Kunier and put Ahmad or Mbamo up front or right wing or on the bench? So I'm calm about this. But next season, Amrim has to get it right. And I think that I'm a massive fan of Amrim. I'll never be Amrim out, hopefully. I don't want to be Amrim out. Same as Ten Hag, same as Oli. I don't want to be a manager out. But he hasn't got a lot of time to experiment next year. We've got Premier League games and domestic Cubs.

49:57And we literally have got no games next year where we can go. That doesn't matter. Whether it's Sunderland away or, you know, Rochdale in the Carabao Cup. But these games are massive to us. We've got no leeway at all. So if he makes mistakes tactically or with team selections or favouritism, he's going to be coming under scrutiny because I think last season was shit. but you know he was thrown into a bad situation this season you you know stand and deliver it's as simple as that I hope he's not gonna look all managers have their intricacies and you have to sometimes just accept it but I hope he's not gonna lose his job through stupidity and you know doing stuff that clearly isn't going to work because you lot have watched Man United a lot more than he has and I'm not saying any of us know more than Amram he's a fantastic coach but he's got to learn the ways of Manchester United in the Premier League very very quickly and look the guy could be a bloody genius he could be a genius maybe he maybe this Bruno in the midfield is going to work but I think there's you know there's a lot he's got to get right but the more options he's got the better you know if he doesn't get the players in then he's going to have mitigating circumstances.

51:16Why aren't we selling anyone, says Tino? Because it's early days, mate. It's early days on that. Look, to be honest, at the moment, the only player that's going to bring any money in is Ganaccio. Rashford, as I said yesterday, where's he going to go? And if he holds out for Barcelona, we won't make any money. Anthony, we're not going to make any money. Rasmus, if he goes, we won't make any money. Inanna, if he goes, we won't make any money. there's one player that we're going to make money on and it's it's ganacho which is why some people wanted bruno to go because it was pure profit pure profit sales people say who's going who's going who's going the only pure profit sales we're going to make are going to be ganacho and then people like lindelof and ericsson where we get their wage back there's not a lot of pure profit to make Jacob says may you and everyone here have a blessed day that's a lovely message Jacob hope you're doing very well uh we need top players to get us back to the top thank you very much Damien okay I'm gonna leave it there thank you everybody for tuning in this morning you've helped me with my hangover which it's not that bad it's not that bad actually it's okay it's okay um but look let's see what today brings uh two o 'clock show Friday night eight o 'clock looking forward to that.

52:29But enjoyed the show this morning. I hope you did as well. Yeah, we, I just don't want, and I said this to you yesterday, I do not want the next three weeks of June to drift into nothingness. And United have done this so many times where they go, it's stony June, we're really relaxed, blah, blah, blah. We're really relaxed about what's happening. but you can't say that when you're a club that they you know I understand it if you're Arsenal and you only want a striker and a winger but we need so much we're not the same as everybody else we can't sit there and go we're really relaxed it's only June everybody knows we need the players for pre-season and everybody knows we need about five so we do need to move a little bit quicker I think thanks everyone for watching take care speak to you in a bit
