Transfer Rumour Thread 22/23

I'm not so sure. MO was very clear when he came into the club he was doing it to make a profit.

He was clear that he wanted to make a profit..but that had to be balanced with the club being successful.
From Nov 2022
"I reiterate that the current board are committed to ensuring that the required funding and infrastructure is in place to maintain the club as a competitive team in the Premiership and also provide the platform to enhance the prospect of finishing in the top-six once again this season."

Also this from Fox "“The one thing I can’t do is leave us short for the first-team. We’ve also been carrying a couple of wee knocks over this period; McGrath and Pawlett.

“It’s about balancing the priorities and that is a constant conversation I have with Tony (Asghar, sporting director) — almost daily — when it comes to keeping on top of these things.”

Well...we let 12 players go and brought in a player that has been described as " I have never seen someone so out their depth. He just runs around kicking players!"

As I said...this gamble is all sitting with Tony Ashgar.

I fully expect us to take in Kyle Lafferty until the end of the season, no insider knowledge..it just seems like a very United thing to do!

Absolutely **** all chance of that then. I honestly think we'll go down now we've left ourselves utterly dependent on a 35 year old striker who misses more than he hits and a ****age back up goalkeeper with our first team goalie being no great shakes either. Piss ****ing poor United!

Thats the kind of window that get you relegated

[TerryTheTerror]

He won't make much profit if we go down

Totally agree. To be honest, I think it's a flawed premise anyway. There is no money to be made from a club at our level.

[dreamoftangerine]

Personally now think reality has bitten and the owner will take the cash from Leicester before making a sharp exit )regardless of which league we are in at that point!).

Hope I am 100% wrong but like TTT says you cannot expect to make money on a regular basis from a club like ours.

[bannon_ftd_83]

The club need to put out a statement to explain themselves and this absolute farce of a transfer window. What a complete and utter mess. We honestly deserve to go down. Completely deluded.

[TerryTheTerror]

We honestly deserve to go down.

Come on now. 🤔

Recalled Kia Fotheringham from loan spell to continue development in first team.

[tHeArAb]

Clubs are only allowed eight players out on loan. We had nine, so someone had to come back.
