A cheap deal...

Im surprise, tbh

Very easy one, both parties want one thing and that one thing wants away.

35-40M is nothing nowadays, and I'm glad he only wants us, I want players who want to be here he must now if he signs to fight for the badge and the club for his life

I think people are very quick to forget that this kid has been one of the players standing out even though Man Utd has been so bad over the last few years aswell

After all this excitement we’re actually going to end this window with only fucking Garnacho. 🤦‍♂️

With us having been after him hard for 2 straight windows he better come in and be amazing. Otherwise the supporters should hound the directors out of the club for spending a combined almost 100m on what look like 2 bang average LW’s.

Only here you can spend more and more and not upgrade much, complete baffling.

Exactly. We’re probably still demanding twice what anyone would ever pay for him and that’s what’s holding everything up. Same with Jackson. 

We’ll end up keeping Nkunku, loaning Jackson, and probably getting only Garnacho this week. Which would turn this from a very promising window to a super underwhelming one.

There could be logic in selling Jackson for a lower fee than the club's estimate of his true value if that sale then allowed us to complete the purchase of a priority target. If, however, that deal can only be completed at a fee which does not allow us to complete the purchase of a priority target then what would be the point of proceeding? If all we do is lose money, and value, while still being unable to bring in the players we want, we may as well just hang on to Jackson or any other player in a similar situation.

I think the real flaw in the strategy during this transfer window may, and I stress may, have been to over estimate the  amounts achievable from the sales of Jackson and Nkunku. I say may because, until the window closes, we can't really know whether or not the club has accomplished what it set out to do.

It is possible that, had the club realised it might not achieve the necessary value from those sales it may well have reordered at least one incoming transfer. If the club genuinely saw Gittens as a higher priority than Simons or Garnacho then fair enough. If they miscalculated however, then that error is going to put our squad development back at least 6 months and probably more.

Does anyone actually get excited over transfers anymore anyway? 
 

We al knew Garnacho was coming.

Think you’re spot on regarding Jackson and Nkunku. The club may have badly overestimated how much other clubs would value these two. We probably figured we’d be able to comfortably make near what we paid for Nkunku and probably thought that with so many clubs super desperate for a striker that we’d easily be able to double our money on Jackson. 

After these things didn’t happen all summer we have then started to hope that clubs like Newcastle or Villa would get really desperate and just throw money at us. But even that hasn’t happened.

Other clubs are calling our bluff.

[Special Juan 28,871]

Romano has been on live and said Spurs will not go near Simons unless Chelsea move away from the transfer, it's blocked for Spurs right now and talks are advanced. Nkunku is the piece of the puzzle for Simons

If this price, that is a great deal. The kid has talent.

Wonder if we’re dumb enough to include a sell on with Garnacho. That would make an already underwhelming deal pretty shitty. 
 

One of the positives the pro Garnacho people point to is that we can always sell him for profit in the future. Well, we can’t if we give United a sell on percentage which we’ve done with several deals recently under Clearlake.

Let me guess loan with an option and we cover half the wages

Just get Nkunku gone, he is surplus now and we need him gone to get Simons

Get him anywhere

Hasn’t it been reported that Nkunku has to go specifically to Leipzig or the Simons deal doesn’t happen?
