Transfer News Summer Transfer Window 23/24 Build up

[SteMerritt]

It’s absolutely grates me, when people call Manchester United just United. It comes across as if they are the only one. It winds me right up. F**king hate it!

It annoys me even more when it is done on here by one of our fans.

• Josh Umerah - Hartlepool United
• Mo Eisa - MK Dons
• Dan Agyei - Crewe Alexandra
• Samson Tovide - Colchester United
• James Berry - Macclesfield
• Charlie Kelman - QPR
• Mason Burstow - Chelsea

Seeing as he's free, and versatile. Think he'd do well with Manning

I was the recent culprit but I’m not really that precious about it. Personally I see Oxford as our identity as ‘United’ is something we share with tonnes of clubs and just as it isn’t special to Manchester, it isn’t to us, either. So I use Oxford when I refer to us. I apologise to those offended, should’ve been more appreciative of other views

There’s only one United, and they play in yellow.

Mic drop.

Torquay?

Yes you are missing the fact that whilst you’re paying Baldock say 3/4 k a week you then can’t get another player in if you don’t have that money.
That’s 150/200 k less budget for the year.
Same applies to Henry and Murphy and Wildshutt but at least they might get them to move on whereas Baldock is nowhere near if ever being” on the grass” to quote the manager who has put us in the s**t with these contracts

This is the exact point I was trying to make. Paying Baldock 3/4k per week when he isn't playing or even likely to is a complete waste of money. Pay him up and get somebody else in.

It comes to the same thing, if you have to pay him you might as well keep him around to perform club duties if you can think of any.

Most of those sides have current regular CBs who came through at football league clubs

Do they? Who are you thinking of?

I like McNally and he has a high ceiling but it's a massive step up from where he is now to playing for a club in the Champions League/Europa League places.

Why do you think paying him up saves any money?

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

Manning wants to sign 3/4 wing backs as he wants to switch to a back three if we can get the recruitment right

This is crazy if true. We had the best right wing back in the league on the books and got rid of him because his wages were high - there’s no guarantee that new signings on less wages will be anywhere near as effective.

Wasnt he on massive wages though?

 

[Ewes]

I think James Henry will sign for Gillingham this summer, free transfer

 

[Marked Ox]

Likewise. He'll play more fitness allowing and it is worth it for Gillingham after a summer recovering as he remains a quality player imo.

Based on the recent 'The Dub' I think it was more of a mutual parting

 

[Yellow and blue]

Not sure if mentioned but Josh McEachran has left MK, one of their better players who Manning brought in and was born in Oxford. Ball playing midfielder who can dictate play.

Wonder if Manning might be tempted.

I did hear about a week ago that he may be coming here,actually was told that manning spoke to him and said he would like him to join.

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Of course he could get fit and play every game next season.
I am not even sure what the injury is anyway, have they ever announced it.

He isn’t on that sort of money. I am sure someone on here could confirm that.

Also based on the Dub, he wasn't apparently one of our higher earners.
