2026 summer transfer window

Well Fernandes hasn’t made the Portuguese WC squad and neither has João Palinha, guess they’re fairly stacked in DMF roles

@Jm leave out very resident “Happy” out of it 🤣🤣🤣

@Blacky i will be checking out the Samu lad.. also i do think the Fernandez lad isn’t a DM

Also agree about Truffert ahead of Hall but Hall has a nice engine in him and defensively he can also hold his own but will NewCastle sell him to us for the quoted 50M though because they do hate us as much as the rest or even more than.

Some good info on Ederson this season below. Form did drop slightly with a new manager which is why he’s having a summer off but still very impressive numbers in the midfield department;

“Ederson has the mobility to cover all the ground expected out of possession and, on the ball, he has the technique and nous to dribble or pass around or through massed midfield ranks. Which is just what Carrick needs from both of his deeper midfielders. For years, United have relied on a double pivot of supposed specialists, the theory being that one complements the other, but too often that approach left their engine room imbalanced. Especially when midfielders like Fred and Scott McTominay were mis-profiled; Casemiro was enduring the slump before his renaissance; and Manuel Ugarte was anywhere near a red shirt.
The clamour around Ederson was ratcheted up a few notches after his display against Liverpool in the Europa League semi-final in 2024. In both legs, the then-24-year-old was everywhere to disrupt Jurgen Klopp’s Reds at Anfield before doing the same again back in Bergamo while dictating the Italians’ play too.
Football data specialists Gradient Sports judge Ederson to have the third-highest athleticism grade (99.2) among central midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues who played at least half of their club’s minutes, with only Bournemouth’s Alex Scott the only Premier League player in the top 10.

Ederson was also beaten by only Bernardo Silva and Florentino Luis among Premier League midfielders for distance covered per 90, while no central midfielder in all of the top five leagues covered more distance in sprints (8.98km), with Rice second.

In winning the ball and passing it – the two most fundamental traits of a midfielder – Ederson has been well above the average in Serie A despite lacking the relentless consistency he showed under Gasperini”.

Obviously its all just words at this stage but for £35m in this market he could turn out to be a steal.

Fuck me happy, if I’d written that you’d say it was bollocks, because it is mate 😂😂. Once I got to the double pivot bullshit I just turned off. We’ll only know whether he’s any good when he gets out there and how our scouts can watch a guy playing in a half paced pub league and determine he’s a fit for the fastest league in the world is beyond me. Still, that’s what the club pays them for, I think 😂😂.

Last summer there was more than one top club sniffing around Ederson as I recall. Under Gasperini he was playing very well and was quite sought after.
However, this season should be taken with a pinch of salt. Atalanta made a proper pigs ear of replacing Gasperini who left for the Roma job, getting Ivan Juric, the guy who made a pigs ear of the Southampton job, before firing him before Christmas. A club legend in Raffaele Palladino was then appointed and performances improved.
I don’t know how Ederson will fare at United but this season should be viewed as an aberration because Atalanta, unusually, made a complete fuck up of replacing Gasperini.

And for £35m we haven’t been taken to the cleaners for once. Now get Ndiaye, Matheus Fernandes, Tonali and Hall. 🙂

Spurs are getting both Van Hecke and Senesi … that’s a good coup for them if they can also hold out and keep VDV

With 2 more midfielders after Ederson there might be a chance one of them are a starter before Mainoo.
I reckon Carrick will use a 4-3-3 formation. Bruno as a starter as a 10 and Ederson as a 6 depending on the other midfield targets. Ederson as a 6 is a long way from what Carrick himself played.

As long as Mainoo doesn’t play on regular basis.And if we were to sign Ndiaye,that would mean Cunha relegated to the bench.
Dee-spot on re Scott,brilliant player!
