I thought it’d be close. Looking forward to the highlights. Bournemouth have made a statement putting out 9 goals in 2 games against what are very in-form teams.The biggest surprise for me out of the games was Bournemouth just pumping Nottingham. Aside from that it felt like the bigger teams did their job, not much to say. The red card Arsenal got was a joke and I feel like Michael Oliver has really declined as a ref. He used to have the status of "best ref in PL" but now he feels like one of the worst ones. Everton got a nice 3p against Brighton and with Wolves, Ipswich and Southampton losing that gives Everton a nice little buffer to the teams below.
Utd have got used to being able to be reckless with transfer and wages spending over many years, but with the new rules it will really come back to hurt them and restrict them, even if they have a good manager. Getting good value is going to be a lot more impoortant in transfers going forward for all teams.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.
A shame Nkunku is injured so much. I’d like to see what he can do in the PL if fit for a full season.
He looks technically too raw to me but at least we haven't overpaid for him, and he's at least fast and athletic.
