So City have a nice easy last 16 draw against either Real or Bayern! Either of those could be a final.

Personally, I'd walk away. We badly need a LB, but I'd rather not sign one at all & continue to suffer the rest of the season, than violently overpay for a player who as @Hunter Rider previously said, hasn't done anything in the game to justify such a price tag.

If this was any club other than Manchester United bidding for him, say Villa, West Ham, Brighton etc his price would be £20m at the absolute most.

If the club seriously believe in him & want him at the club, the only possible way a deal close to £34m should be agreed is if it was structured the way Diallo's was when he arrived from Atlanta in which it was £19m guaranteed & the other £19m is add ons based on appearances, achievements, success etc.
That way if the club ever ends up paying the full £34m for him, it will at least have been justified.

I agree.

Manchester United has a habit and reputation of overvaluing players. People see big a payday when United put in a bid.

Utd 2-0 up and Spurs 1-0 up. Should be a good finish to the automatic qualification places for both in the Europa then if things stay like this.

They’ve also been idiotic at bargaining refusing to pay on occasion and then coming back and paying more when under pressure.

The PL way out in front at the moment in terms of UEFA coefficient points for this season. Should definitely be 5 CL places for next season. Hoepfully we get that every year going forward and last season was just a blip. Would have got it on recent results for many seasons before that.

Marcus Rashford: Aston Villa interested in loan deal for Man Utd forward

Rashford on loan to Villa and Tel on loan to United is solid business for us.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Same, seems raw but potentially a diamond & the fee £25m + £4.2m, in today's market, is worth a punt given his potential upside.

The fee and low wages should make him relatively easy to move on if he doesn't cut it, and I'm glad we're still going for Quenda in the summer.

Forest wow! What a way to come back after their first bad result in a while, losing to Bournemouth 5-0. Who outdoes their own thrashing to recover?!

7-0 home victory against Brighton!!

 

[Iceman]

Moyes just fits with Everton. 3-0 up at the moment against Leicester.

Liverpool beating Bournemouth 1-0 away through Salah.

Newcastle beating Fulham 1-0. I hope we can hold on to 3 points here as this was the end of our supposed-to-be-manageable run.

 

[Iceman]

Oh no, we’re losing at home to Fulham now! 2-1.

Liverpool now 2-0 up with Salah scoring again.

Southampton also look like they’re about who win a game! 2-1 against Ipswich right now.

And some people thought Dyche was unlucky to be sacked. He wasn't unlucky at all just a bad manager.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Under the circumstances this is a good bit of business from United.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Forest wow! What a way to come back after their first bad result in a while, losing to Bournemouth 5-0. Who outdoes their own thrashing to recover?!

7-0 home victory against Brighton!!

It's like Forest and Brighton have switched places this season, incredible turnaround for Forest under Nuno, and Wood has a real shot at the golden boot, ir whatever it's called in the PL.

Big shock, Spurs win a game (away from home).

No shock, Utd lose at home.

 

[Iceman]

Odegaard scored already against City. Will be interesting to see how this game goes. Arsenal need to recover from their mediocre period and is it still too early for City to be back? Are they even going to be back till Rodri is back and at his best?

Martinelli also just had the ball in the net but offside. City not quite with it yet.

It’s a sign they really have something about them to come back from such a thrashing which could easily have stalled their momentum, and then dole out an even bigger one. Wonder why Brighton have regressed. Are they still recruiting at the same level? Maybe their staff got poached.

 

[Iceman]

Haaland heads one in to equalise after not too many touches in the game. Still has that danger even when not involved.

 

[Iceman]

Oh damn Partey scores instantly as a reply after intercepting a pass from Stones. 2-1! 38 seconds after the restart.
