Assuming posts regarding “that gif” will be insta deleted. Not sure if the curse transfers over but really don’t want try.

Still trying to figure out this new platform - of course reddevils was my top priority. How do I join a community? I searched through the search function for "Manchester united" but cannot figure out how to join

[–] RamesesKnibs 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on the app you are using. If you can see an option on the main page for Sidebar or Community Info, tap that then you should be able to subscribe

[–] Aloeofthevera 3 points 1 year ago

Figured it out. Thank you :)

[–] mikebehzad 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Amazing. Yup, 5 mil more. But honestly, that's not too bad.

Get Onana and Højlund and I'll unclench. Can't wait to see Mount though.

[–] zsolaris 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not even "5 mil more" most likely.

Orny reports that the 5M bonuses are hard ones.

It seems like the deal we put on the table was basically 50M + 5M of fairly easy bonuses. What we agreed to is 55M + 5M of the Balon d'Or special.

Realistically, we probably aren't out any more money. If we are, it'll have been fucking worth it.

[–] Ryan213 2 points 1 year ago

I'd gladly have us pay that 5M bonus for a Balon d'Or from him!

[–] Bird_Lawyer 1 points 1 year ago

What’s the latest on Højlund? Atalanta still have a ridiculous fee?

[–] Datzevo 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So we started the bid at 40m, Chelsea wanted 70m. Both sides end up at 55m with 5m addon. Not exactly sure what the addons conditions are but I heard its difficult to meet. In the event Mason meet those addons conditions, we'd be ecstatic to pay Chelsea that 5m. So really, it feels like the deal is at 55m.

With that being said, how do we feel about this deal?

I feel like its a fair deal. The "real" price is closer to 55m than the reported 60m. To me 55m is the right aMount.

[–] RamesesKnibs 2 points 1 year ago

I said when it was first reported we were in for him I wouldn't want to go above 60. It's a big spend but I'm pretty happy about it

For some reason I'm picturing Bender shouting "DO A FLIP"

Edit: Perfect

[–] Easyreever 3 points 1 year ago

Always rated him

[–] RamesesKnibs 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fabrizio's picture of Mount is something else 😂

[–] thegenesis 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha his content team working round the clock by now to keep churning such pictures no doubt 🤣

[–] kittyinboots 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finally, Mount has come back to —— Manchester United

PS: Rock reference

[–] RamesesKnibs 3 points 1 year ago

I did it...for ten Hag

[–] LukaDoncic 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to reserve judgment but at least he is an upgrade over Eriksen. In ETH I trust!

[–] brcl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not so sure he’s an upgrade over Eriksen. I don’t think Mount’s vision is anywhere near Eriksen.

[–] LukaDoncic 3 points 1 year ago

I would argue the fitness is the biggest differentiating factor between the 2

Good business and a player that will suit our style

[–] Ryan213 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do we still have enough money to get Onana, Kane, Hojlund, and Osimhen?

Joking, of course. Arsenal has really strengthened their squad so I'm hoping we can keep up.

[–] designated_fridge 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Onana

Martinez/Varane

Mount/Casemiro/McTominay

Antony/Hojlund/Kane/Osimhen/Rashford

Here we gooooo, every game ends 9-6

[–] Ryan213 2 points 1 year ago

As long as they're all Wins!

[–] LBarbarian 2 points 1 year ago

I can already feel the sweaty palms and heart palpitations!

[–] fue 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes! Go for Onana and Kane 🫶

[–] Ryan213 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm more likely to join than Kane. LOL

[–] RamesesKnibs 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Ryan213 3 points 1 year ago

I can tap 'em in like Haaland.

[–] Shade 1 points 1 year ago

Good first signing, and also before pre-season that's good. I hope for keeper next!

[–] birdjazz 1 points 1 year ago

So now, do we sell one or two midfielders? Fred or McTom?
