They'll be kicking themselves for not accepting 45m + 5m add ons!

Just shows how right our team were to walk away from talks when Everton demanded more in the region of 70m+ !

Interesting development

They could be in real trouble. Lets take full advantage

But you're all delighted with an 18 yo for £55m who you have never seen play

Let's see us go back in for Branthwaite now for £20m and a packet of crisps

—

A fair fee then

Good! About time we started walking away from negotiations

Would be funny if they have to sell Branthwaite now for less than they wanted.

What's happening with their new stadium, is it nearly ready to use?

I wonder how much Everton knew of the buyers potentially pulling out? With hindsight makes the decline of our offer a bad move.

Maybe it'll balance out us paying more than Fellaini's release fee.

Only thing to balance that out would be them going into administration.

Are things coming full circle from that Summer 2013 window?

If we go on to pay the full amount including whatever the add ons are you’re quoting then I’m sure it will have worked out a good transfer indeed.

Why wouldn't anyone be happy signing a player with massive potential?

Also if we do pay all the add ons that means we've been very successful. Something people don't seem to understand.

United signing players is really taking its toll on you is t it?

The Yoro signing has really upset Devonshirespur.

Branthwaite would have been 15m more but homegrown more experienced with prem exp? Interesting i don't think thats too bad, but Utd finally acting like a club with backbone so fair play to them walking away if they didnt agree with the valuation.

Personally think ttheyre signing well, the striker will offer strength in depth and sumin diff, the cb is regarded as a huge talent and Ugarte if they get him will compliment Penandez and Mainoo very well.

In fairness, i had never heard of him. But the lack of movement at Spurs has me bored senseless.

What has upset me is Spurs being linked with McT although the reported £40m price tag has made me chuckle...but not if we pay it, or even £40 for that matter!

Im hoping it's the Utd PR team trying to get McT out the door, and making up some imaginary competition from Spurs, trying to drum up a decent fee. Fulham are interested but will obviously pay way less than the £47m they got for the hugely superior Paulinho.

I pray Spurs go nowhere near him.

I wonder what Maguire’s thinking given our pursuit of centre backs.

He'll happily sit on his big arris for the remainder of the season. If he has any ambitions of getting back into the England squad then a move would be in his best interest.

Their signings make sense from a 'future building' perspective but, a bit like Spurs who have brought in 2 quality 18 yo's, i don't see these solving any of their immediate issues. They need a few "oven ready" signings to strengthen all three areas of the team...as do Spurs.

Ugarte would be a great start and I was hopeful we'd look at him before he went to PSG, and hopefully we'd look at hi-jacking that deal, but i am not sure if we now see Gray as the CM we needed or if he is still one for the future.

Yoro features in the Golden Boy football index top 10. He's amongst other such talents as Yamal, Savio and Neves. ITK have touted these players as generational talents. In my lifetime we've missed out on so many of these talents, all opting for Real or Barca over Utd, nice for once to have first dibs on one.

An 18 YO is never the finished article but many scouts were saying Yoro was complete at 16. Ludicrous, I know, but one can't afford to miss out on players like this if we are building for the future. If Yoro fulfils his potential and remains on the upward development trajectory and we end up paying all the add-ons it would hopefully mean both Utd and player have experienced success along the way!
