Exactly, it’s pr - he can’t tell that fanbase a player would obviously want us over them
Who said we want him? This is just Twitter ITK bullshit and we’ll have a lot of it until the window closes.
At least better than kneepain
Please let’s get him he sounds good
There are clearly financial considerations, as well as behavioral ones with Rashford, but I think there is definitely a tactical dimension to those players being on the outs under Amorim.
He plays five across the front line like everybody else in possession and the wingbacks are the wide players. The “wingers” sit inside and the players he has preferred for those roles are guys like Trincao and Pote who are technical, creative types who are comfortable receiving the ball between the lines and in tighter spaces rather than pacy wide players that are looking to run behind or drift to the touchline and operate in more space. Amad can play that role and Mount too if he ever gets healthy (its pretty much exactly the role he thrived in under Tuchel at Chelsea). Garnacho and Rashford just don’t.
Amorim hasn’t gotten the chance to bring in players yet but this seems to be the vision at United as well. Dorgu is a left footed LWB that occupies the wide channel on that side and that’s his priority signing it appears.

No mention of Arsenal.
Ffs
We won’t sign both.
I think Villa will take him away from us in the end when they get that money for Duran lol
Loan with 30m option for him would be a good move.
Who knows. Maybe Harry Kane may be putting a word or two in his ear.
If Orstein hasn’t mentioned our name I don’t believe we are in for him. No matter what the rest of the twittersphere says

Well, Fabrice threw our name in for him(also Villa), I guess this might not be totally dead after all.
Tel to Villa. Watkins to Arsenal.
I’d rather us try and go for a loan for Matthew Terrence than Watkins.
Bayern want 50-60M?!
(I thought I was being generous with my 30M valuation )
They bought him for that, no?
Ffs had no clue about that…
Maybe a loan with an option for that kind of money would sound reasonable, but no way I would give that kind of money straight away on a guy with his senior experience.
If he really does well on his loan he could justify such a fee. Atm I’d be quite surprised if someone (from Europe pays that much for him).
Sounds like a movie villain with a broken English ordering the villa board to give us Watkins
