United need to focus on getting players out, not in. Only Rashford and Garnacho out so far, plus the out of contract players. Sancho and Antony still a massive financial drain. Hojlund not out the door yet.
Tick tock...

Hojlund is all but confirmed by Romano. Loan with obligation to buy if certain parameters are met.

Fwiw, my recent experience in Naples has made Napoli my secondary team to follow and I hope he follows McTominay in showing United that it's them, not him.

Did you see the great picture of McTominay?

You got any idea wtf is going on with their finances? The consensus before this window was they were basically fucked. I know enough that that always seemed doubtful but I never thought they'd spend like this.

Be easier to tell when they put out their results for the end of June - they report the earliest of anyone, but I think they're in a mess. They've needed equity injections to dig them out in recent years which Jimbob has provided in line with the deal with the Glazers, but I can see a Mexican stand-off between them the next time it's needed because the Glazers don't like stumping up their own money.
They've got access to debt facilities to keep them going short-term but longer term they need to get their act together, and there's no point sacking the tea lady if you're then going to spend £200m on three attackers without shifting the dead wood. I know a few people who think the stadium project is just a dead cat strategy and if it is then they have a huge infrastructure problem to sort too because Old Toilet is falling down.
Truth is, they're a "too big to fail" club (as we were in the Hicks and Gillette years). Whatever happens, someone will bail them out, and I think we just need to enjoy how useless they are on the pitch and view the finances as a nice sideshow.

Prohibitive wages I'd imagine. Turkish clubs weirdly seems able to pay the wages

No evidence just a spurious accusation on my part. Turkish Mafia, money laundering. Makes a change to the 5th barbershop and 3rd vape shop in a village where there is only 500 people
 
Been quietly impressed with the majority of the business the promoted clubs have done and we look good to have a proper relegation scrap for a change.

Sunderland have bought an entire new team, Xhaka Adingra Mukiele and now Geertruida are all top buys.

Leeds with Bijol, Gudmundsson, Okafor, Stach, even Longstaff.

But are you also quietly impressed with the work Richard Hughes has done - that’s what we want to know.

Or are you doing that “I don’t change my mind” badge of honour thing still.

He's doing ok, let's see how the rest of the day goes first. Improvement on last summer/Jan.
 
The key with Xhaka (as it has been with McTominay in a very similar way at a different club) has been to play him in his right position, i.e.attacking rather than defensive MF. We at LFC have made the same mistake a couple of times over the years, trying to make defensive players out of big units (Jan Molby and Emre Can are the two I have in mind) when they were never genuinely defensive-minded. When the Arse pushed Xhaka further forward he immediately looked better, Leverkusen carried on doing that and the Mackems have followed suit.
