Hi Ed, reports we are interested in GK Moritz Nicolas because our head of first-team goalkeeper coaching, Fabian Otte, has worked with him before. With Alli, Marsch and Jaros already on the books are we stockpiling like Chelsea or do you see one of those 3 leaving?
I assumed that Kelleher is definitely gone so haven't included him above.
Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I expect some to leave.}
1.) 18 Apr 2025 20:02:00
Kelleher has been angling for first team football for ages. Jaros is out of contract this summer. Alisson has also indicated he wants to go back to Brazil when his contract is up but that’s at least 2 more seasons away I think. Would make sense for us to be after another back up keeper. None of the academy keepers behind Jaros are good enough in my opinion.
2.) 18 Apr 2025 20:18:56
MK, I believe Jaros signed a new contract in 2024.
3.) 18 Apr 2025 21:02:05
Jaros is renewing.
4.) 19 Apr 2025 06:17:53
We are incredibly lucky we have the choice of four good goalies on our books. Man U have none.
5.) 19 Apr 2025 10:45:24
Word on the street is ally will be leaving as slot doesn’t like the amount of games he misses, add keheller to that we probably need a back up gk for jaros and marmite, unless we use Davies if not if get an old pro.
{Ed025's Note - if you are after an old pro L29, maybe Rooney could put you in touch with one?..
6.) 19 Apr 2025 11:07:07
Vítězslav Jaros is likely to be loaned out even after renewing for another two years (soon) unless (and this apparently has been discussed) Giorgi Mamardashvili is loaned back to Valencia for another year. Just hearsay.
7.) 19 Apr 2025 12:22:36
Marmardashvili will be loaned to a premier league team.
8.) 19 Apr 2025 13:39:13
Mamardashvili is average at best, don't know what they were thinking there.
14 Apr 2025 02:57:52
Hey Ed001, have you heard of any discussion from the club regarding offering Alisson a new contract?
{Ed001's Note - no mate.}
1.) 14 Apr 2025 09:18:24
Surely they will look to extend before time to avoid the BS we've just been through.
Even if its only for 3/ 4 of the games each season, the man is as good as it gets and needs to be around for as long as he's willing to stay.
2.) 14 Apr 2025 13:11:15
The BS was a figment of people’s imagination @Vango. Despite the endless repetitive discussions it all boils down to two want to stay and the third wants to have a go at a different challenge.
The immense amount of cobblers that has filled social media for the last 12-15 months has just been a lot of hot air by people, by and large, just making guesses based on unsound assumptions.
As with Mo and VVD, if both Ali and the club want him to stay then he’ll stay. As with Trent, if either (or both) don’t want Ali to renew then he’ll be gone.
3.) 14 Apr 2025 15:13:11

Caught Offside I presume!? Sigh!
7.) 20 Jan 2025 09:35:16
He might be having some building work done.
17 Jan 2025 18:32:48
I don't think we'll buy anyone in this transfer window and to calm the fans i think the club will announce new contracts for probably VVD and Salah at the end of the window.
They'll be like 'new signings' and it will probably placate a lot of the fans.
1.) 17 Jan 2025 18:57:15
Am not sure that will happen, I think it’s starting to look like all 3 are going I think it will have been sorted by now. I don’t know if there is some plan to replace all 3 well Trent is sorted Bradley does that. I just hope VVD stays above the all others as I think losing a cb like him is nearly impossible to replace as I know because it took for Virgil to come in to replace Hansen.
2.) 17 Jan 2025 18:58:56
Maybe van Dijk, don't think Salah stays, wage structure and all that good sh*t.
3.) 17 Jan 2025 18:49:25
They won’t be like new signings at all, that’s not what transfer windows are for. I reckon all 3 will leave myself. And Diaz will be off in summer.
4.) 17 Jan 2025 19:35:00
Virgil is the most important.
Can you imagine if he had off days like Salah often does? (Yes his stats are crazy and possibly irreplaceable) . If Virgil had those off days we'd lose more than we won.
Trent I'm actually not fussed about. Great if he stays, but if he goes then I wish him all the best.
5.) 17 Jan 2025 21:10:32
Virg will stay, don’t mind the other two going at this point but more gutted that Trent is leaving.
Re Diaz he may want to guy but I can’t see Barcelona wanting him. IMO he could easily end up in Saudi - again great player but not irreplaceable if he does leave. Guess it would leave Gakpo as clear first choice even though I don’t really rate him.
Don’t mind the potential rebuild but hoping we actually get given the funds to make 5/ 6 signings.
6.) 17 Jan 2025 21:41:12
Bradley does what trent does? Are you mental grino, trent is 10 times the footballer Bradley, Bradley may defend a bit better but trent gives us so much more, think Bradley will replace all that is absolutely ridiculous.
7.) 17 Jan 2025 22:08:26
Port red, somewhat agree. Bradley can't pass the ball like Trent, but I think he is a much better defender and can beat a player.
8.) 17 Jan 2025 22:46:57
Bradley is not a much better defender, where does this notion come from? The kid has played a handful of games and has been at fault for a couple of goals already. He plays as a RW for N. Ireland!
9.) 17 Jan 2025 23:18:23
Alright lads. Do we know ball park what trent mo and virg are looking for money wise?
{Ed025's Note - well Mo is on £350k a week Cumber and i dont think he will be taking a drop mate, VVD is on£180k and i expect he will want a significant rise to stay, TAA earns the same and will want at least parity with VVD whatever he gets rise wise..
10.) 18 Jan 2025 00:41:35
It's funny how players can be so hard on Bradley but then state Danns is the second coming.
11.) 18 Jan 2025 04:04:16
We've coped well without Ali, Mo, Trent, etc. What we didn't cope well with was when Virgil was out. Hands down our most important player.
12.) 18 Jan 2025 04:05:57
Ed I know it's a diff world but if Virgil is on what you say then that's borderline criminal. Looking around the league at the likes of Mount, Sterling, Rashford, etc. all on double what you say Virgil is on.
{Ed025's Note - those figures do not include bonuses RF but i must agree that when you compare him to that lot hes basically on the minimum wage mate, maybe we should start a go fund me page to get him a few bob.. :)
13.) 18 Jan 2025 06:07:11
Also McGoveb, we could be in a situation where we dint sign players for positions that we are lacking in currently. and the 3 contracts are NOT renewed.
Dint want to be pessimistic, but that's the reality.
Questions around our recruitment and contract negotiations are rightly placed at those in charge, whoever that might be wrt Hughes, Ward and Edward's.
14.) 18 Jan 2025 07:00:51
You joining for red side now mate? ?.
{Ed025's Note - you know me better than that mate.. :)
15.) 18 Jan 2025 10:23:50
As days pass by I am less confident of us extending any one. Hope I am wrong though.
On other note, I am eagerly waiting for annual post of Joyce, Oristein, James, Reddy on war chest to attack summer transfer.
16.) 18 Jan 2025 13:30:15
All this contract embarrassment says to me is that the club is far too big now for JH and his clowns so maybe it’s time to sell the club NOW.
17.) 18 Jan 2025 18:49:37
You are right about the bad signings point. We actually have a pretty good record on acquisitions, with very few duds since the Salah/ VVD/ Alisson signings. If frankly low cost and low profile punts like Thiago and Minamino had happened at City absolutely nobody would care/ remember. Deliveroo is really the only big exception, and you could easily identify more than one parallel to him at every big club.
The key point about our owners is that at their absolute core they are hedge fund deity-pricks. They fundamentally believe in their own genius, they are better and cleverer than market sheep who pay full whack for things - whether financial assets, companies, sports assets, players. They don’t beat the sheep by spending the same money the sheep would on the same assets the sheep target. No, no no - they are soooooooo much smarter. That’s the fundamental belief which links their hedging strategies, buying distressed assets like LFC, Moneyball/ Comolli data-porn, and not paying top end on ‘talent’ like the sheep do.
Their theological belief that only stupid people (not them) spend the most, is part of why they are being sticklers on PSR, grassing on City and Chelsea, etc. What they ultimately want is to end the ‘just spend more’ advantage persisting in football. Or looked at in another way, the unfairness of sheep who aren’t as smart as them being able to beat them by having more money. They want all the biggest teams locked into the same, closed competitions (hello ESL) and broadly the same income levels, and therefore locked into broadly the same spending plane (hello PSR) . Once that is achieved, then the only differentiator is being smarter than everyone else. And then we’ll see who wins, and who has the most money.
18.) 19 Jan 2025 10:05:08
If Virg is on £180k he had better be on some amazing bonus package for carrying Trent, Ibou, Gomez, Robbo, Quansah and Tsimikas at various points this season.
Seriously, we are talking about a defender that came 2nd in the Ballon D’or when it was a two-horse race (and he was neither of the horses), a player we can literally play as a line centre back and attackers still don’t want to go near him. Yes, £180k per week is a lot of money, an obscene amount. Yes, he is too relaxed at times but I wouldn’t swap him for anyone playing currently. Maybe prime Maldini but even then I would have to think long and hard. And Virg could play well into his late 30s.
Of the three, he is the captain and the vital cog. The other two are less fundamental. Yes, Salah scores a lot of goals but he also misses a lot of chances, and I mean too many on some days. Virgil rarely has an off day. Salah will be missed but Slot will adapt the team and we will cope.
Trent has a few off days but almost always plays a pass that nobody else in the world can. A pass that results in a goal that wins us the game. Crucial to the team at times. Corner taken quickly? Yesterday’s reactive pass to Nunez? The 100s of YouTube Hollywood QB Blitzes? And we are talking about Bradley as a replacement? lol
What a mess. Virg - £208k p/ w, sign him now. Trent - do everything you can to keep him £200k per week. Salah - offer him a slightly reduced salary on a two year deal and done. Renegotiate his bonuses to equate to goals scored but exclude penalties. Sharpen him up a bit.
14 Jan 2025 14:32:54
Joshua Kimmich being reported today as the replacement for TAA, 29 years old on equivalent of approx £300k per week and club looked for £20m+ to get him in January. Is this really good business, surely Bradley is TAA successor?
1.) 14 Jan 2025 15:34:47
if its up to me i would stay away from signings like this.
2.) 14 Jan 2025 16:04:31
Mcgov…. does this rumour sound realistic to you?
3.) 14 Jan 2025 16:13:07
I think although there may be a kernel of truth in this reporting, it is coming from papers that like to sensationalise. What wage will Kimmich sign for is probably a better question than "what wage is being reported"?
In terms of the player, I really like the look of him in the snippets of games I have seen. He is also equally adept at RB and CDM which means, if Trent does go, he can help out at RB and also be more of the ball playing double pivot that Slot wants with Grav.
If Trent does go now, then the cost for Kimmich is roughly the same as we will likely get from Real Madrid.
Kimmich is a high quality players, experienced winner etc. Is still young enough to have a few more years at the top, without necessarily blocking Bradley due to age and (more importantly) versatility.
My overriding wish is for Trent to stay, but if he goes, I think Kimmich would be a clever, versatile and high quality signing.
Staying away from the numbers obvs in honour of Ed002.
4.) 14 Jan 2025 16:13:46
I agree. I'd rather not go there.
5.) 14 Jan 2025 16:14:40
Replacing a player who gets criticised for not being very good defensively for one who is worse, as well as being older, slower and on even more stupid wages seems as illogical as it gets. Surely we’d have learnt something from the last washed up Bayern player we signed. I’d hope this is Kimmich’s agent pushing Bayern. Don’t want him anywhere near the club.
6.) 14 Jan 2025 16:17:03
If we're buggering about giving Trent, Salah and VVD contracts I highly doubt we're willing to offer this fella what he wants, not on those type of wages, it's not the way we do things.
7.) 14 Jan 2025 16:18:26
We need two players for each position minimum. So if we have to replace Trent it has no bearing on Bradley, He is still one of the two for RB.
8.) 14 Jan 2025 16:18:43
Kimmich also plays midfield does he not? If its true which it may or may not be it doesn't necessarily mean Trent is leaving.
9.) 14 Jan 2025 16:33:21
Ginger, apologies, i thought I posted it on the Rumours page. I'll have it removed immediately.
10.) 14 Jan 2025 16:54:43
Red Willis, the perception of Kimmich being any good in midfield is false, he’d get absolutely battered in the premier league. He’s absolutely awful under any pressure and needs lots of time and space which he gets loads of in the Bundesliga, but neither of which he’d get here. If that’s the best Hughes is able to come up with then he should resign now and save himself the inevitable grief.
11.) 14 Jan 2025 16:57:14
Nah, not for me.
12.) 14 Jan 2025 17:03:28
Kimmich for TAA is a true masterstroke. Absolute genius.
I pray this rumour has no truth in it but Kimmich’s name keeps being linked with us. It is terrifying. He will be useless in midfield in the EPL. As influential as Poulsen
He would be woeful at RB.
13.) 14 Jan 2025 17:18:40
Surely if they would be willing to pay £300k to a 29 year old they would offer this to Trent - if he has said no to £300k it’s not about the money is it and if he goes then he wants a new challenge much better way to leave than no offering me as much money as Madrid so I’m off there.
14.) 14 Jan 2025 17:58:08
Sofa, Kimmich is on something like £320k plus bonuses at Bayern and is asking for £400k to renew by all accounts. That’s enough to give St John of Massachusetts a coronary.
15.) 14 Jan 2025 19:22:15
Just give the 300K to Trent then problem solved!
16.) 14 Jan 2025 19:59:00
I said 2 years ago that we should sign Kimmich to replace Fabinho still think that he will be a huge addition.
17.) 14 Jan 2025 22:56:20
I’m with you Langland and Zeddicus. Some sections of our fan base have a phobia of signing older players. I get it, because we’ve got it so wrong in the past on a few occasions (Thiago, Lambert, Cole etc) . We also got a few absolutely spot on though (Milner, McAllister, Endo etc) .
Kimmich is the right player for our style of pay and he can play DM, CM, CB and RB. Most other clubs fans say he’s the best RB in the world, but we obviously have a bias towards Trent. Pep Guardiola built his Bayern team around him as the midfield anchor in DM. He’s top drawer but his wages do sound particularly high. I’d be excited about him signing either way. I don’t pay his salary.
18.) 14 Jan 2025 23:17:47
I heard a little whisper that Kimmich wants £500k per week. To be fair though my psychiatrist has warned me off about the voices in my head.
19.) 15 Jan 2025 00:16:56
I think Kimmich is good in midfield and I think your perception of his abilities is false Victor. We will have to agree to disagree and If he joins he will prove one of us wrong. Hopefully you. I'd take him just to have someone who can actually take a corner to be honest.

1.) 16 Apr 2025 16:53:15
2019/ 20 side, for me, Mcgoveb. We had 11 players at their peak, or close to.

Klopp's team easily, they'd beat the majority of teams throughout history.

10.) 16 Apr 2025 19:14:59
Both are klopps teams. But the 1 in 19/ 20 season were much better. Also even say Brenda s team when Gerrard slipped with suarez in the the team was a better team than we have now. Attacking wise 100%. Klopp would of had this league wrapped up earlier if he still was in charge and had the enthusiasm for it.
11.) 16 Apr 2025 20:45:41
The 19/ 20 side, without a doubt.
12.) 16 Apr 2025 21:56:57
Both sides were Klopps any way.
13.) 17 Apr 2025 14:43:43
These players may have been Klopp's but this team is Slot's. Different style, different tactics.
Having said that, 19/ 20 would cruise.

Harry Maguire brought on by Utd as a centre forward to try and rescue the game, could we put in a cheeky bid Ed001 to replace Nunez and Jota ??????.

2.) 02 Apr 2025 09:07:01
It's all a laugh and a joke before we remember back to a time when things weren't as they are now and we resulted to throwing Steven Caulker on up front to try and save the game.
3.) 02 Apr 2025 11:08:50
United actually reminds me of our teams in the 90's.
We had players who were outstanding and unplayable on their day but we couldn't seem to find the day they all worked together.
United have some technically brilliant players but it seems they don't suit the managers playing style. I watched them play yesterday and at times they looked like a good team but they couldn't get a clear chance against forest apart from set pieces.
Long may this continue as we had to go through the ringer as fans back then as they have to now.
We were called delusional when we said " it will be our year next season".
Looking back we were and I can see traits in the way united are going now buying players to patch up gaps rather than filling gaps with the right style of player.

Saw the whole game and some of our guys still have it. Klavan looked sharp (normal as he retired a couple of months ago) . Hyppia, Kelly, Aurelio and Sinama Pongollelook in devent shape and so was Crouch. Enjoyed the game esp. when Zola came on the pitch, to a rousing applause from all 60K fans at Anfield.
4.) 23 Mar 2025 23:43:00
Loved Crouchy as a player and also in his TV work. He seems a genuine guy and I was made up for him getting a brace.

Are those the stats for Robertson this season, when he's already on the decline and has been aligned for his poor defending, or when he was in his prime? Cos doing better than Robertson this season wouldn't be a very good barometer on one's ability to defend. If that's the case, I'd hypothesise that even Beck and Tsimikas are posting better numbers so why the need to buy Kerkez?

Two things can be right at the same time, people can praise him for his work on getting the two boys to sign new contracts but people can also be annoyed at the poor transfer windows we had in the summer and January this year.
16 Apr 2025 21:25:42
Seems like a good strong ref at the Bernabeu tonight for a change.
I have to say though that i think PSG look far better without Mbappe and Real Madrid look far worse with him.
16 Apr 2025 16:35:51
Would be nice to get a player that Slot could rotate with Salah to keep Salah fresh for a full season, he does tend to drop off as we get towards the end of a season. Even someone to come on for 15 to 20 minutes in a match, again to keep Salah as fresh as possible.
