I don’t think we’re getting Hall, would happy to be wrong. I don’t think Amass is ready, still looks a bit raw. Shaw is not playing 2 games a week the whole season without picking up some kind of injury. Ineos leaving it late, time is ticking. We really need another option at left back, after the apparent Baleba deal goes over the line.
Manchester United and Brighton are closing in on a deal for midfielder Carlos Baleba.
United have made an offer of around £60million (€70m, $81m) plus £5m in add-ons which is felt to be below what Brighton would be seeking to sell.
Amicable talks continue with all parties working towards finding an agreement.
I feel like on some of his shots, he just wanted to hurt opposition players, the ball just happened to find its way to the net 😂. All joking aside, what an absolute cracker of a right foot he had.
Rashford is a local lad who has had a good career in a difficult period for Man Utd. Felt like the media attacked him alot and for some his charity work seems to be a catalyst to attack him, which makes no sense. In last couple of seasons it hasn’t gone to plan but I hope when he comes back we can all show him the respect he deserves as a local lad playing for their boyhood club, who has done great things for underprivileged kids.
Man Utd are a club that should have more class than most and realise there is more to life than just football.
Not to say we cannot get lucky and cliche the title earlier but this seems like building a solid foundation before applying the finishing touches.
The hate for these two make no sense. Why do so many fans expect them to be ready for the senior team at just 19. Not every midfielder coming out of Carrington is going to be Kobbie. Calling them "nepobabies" and "rubbish" when they play better than more than half there age group just shows how forced the hate is.
This is just a few of the things they've gotten wrong recently. The latest Baleba news is making our fans act like this page is actually reliable
Rio Ferdinand out here glowing like he just got married 😂
In all seriousness though, we definitely needed another midfielder and thank God we got one that is actually a good prospect and can develop. I don't judge players by one season. How many one-season wonders we've seen in football? There are also one-season setbacks. And I believe he had the latter. But even then, based on his track record and standard he set, fans claim he was "piss poor" last season, and that's far from the truth based on majority of Brighton fans. He didn't have a great campaign like the seasons prior, but he wasn't as bad either as some United fans claim. With Santos being 22, Mainoo being 21 and Baleba being 21, hopefully we have our CM sorted out for the next decade. Now a couple more signings to turn this transfer window into an unmitigated success.

That is an almost perfect balance not just in balance (left feet versus right feet), but positionally (8s versus 6s) and in ages (18-29) and in team harmony (players came come in and out of team without any disruption to consistency) but in absolute squad harmony (zero big ego, zero 100million buys on 350k a week.
Hats off on the rebuild of United's midfield.
This is what you get when you have the world's best scout as your chief recruiter, and a man in Berada who set out a plan rather than rushing to a next title.
Let's not forget we had an accountant running football transfers at United for 11 straight seasons. Now we have experts at planning, strategy and recruitment.
Still got twats whining and moaning on Reddit.
Baleba was always a option for united. I just realised United signed him the day after rodri signed for Barcelona! Probably INEOS waited for him to go to madrid and get tchoumeni but since that doesn't happened we signed Baleba. I know many understood this , but just typed all this for few haters who are saying united in panic mode and signing injured baleba.
CREDITS TO INEOS FOR MAKING THREE CRUCIAL SIGNING FOR 150M IN THE SAME MARKET WHERE ANDERSON IS 116M🫡
We definitely had a lot of disappointing signings but it saddens me the most to see McTominay go for a paltry £25m. This is a position we have been struggling to recruit well even now. In terms of passion, he is right up there with the likes of G.Neville. In terms of tactical flexibility, he is a BBM who does whatever the shit you ask of him. I really think he was a victim of poor managerial decisions. Look at how well Conte played him in his 1st season at Napoli. In terms of technical ability, just look at the 2nd picture. In terms of physicality, he is 1.93m, has great strength and stamina. If Paul Pogba was £89m then this guy should be close to him as well.
Let me know who are your biggest sales regret!
Posting this to give credit where it’s due. Indykaila broke an exclusive yesterday that ‘a significant meeting took place between Baleba and Man United’ and ‘Man United are preparing a new bid’.
I’ve been critical of them as a source but they were the only ones talking about it before the Ornstein exclusive today.
Hats off.
