@TheSecretAcct Isn’t the tax treatment in the ISA you gift instead the same as with the sipp?

[Vik @vik_h]

@FrankEra_ Agreed. Credit to Luke Shaw too who is playing well. Tielemans also looking good

[Vik @vik_h]

@ChrisWheelerDM What I struggle to understand is that we bought Dorgu as a left back. Ok wing-back, but still. £25m…

[Vik @vik_h]

@KevEastSports @LiamPaulCanning Also that ‘Ineos’ haven’t invested in the defence / the back line hasn’t changed. Maz, De Light, Yoro, Dorgu, Heaven all brought in. £100m+ spend already. De Ligt was on fire pre injury

[Vik @vik_h]

@KevEastSports @AndyMk_83 LB, I wonder if we’ll stick with Shaw, Dorgu (we did buy him for LB at £25m although I know he’s pre Wilcox/Vivell) and Maz and return for Hall next year. Not saying I agree with it but I can see it happening.

[Vik @vik_h]

@KevEastSports @AndyMk_83 Who would you like to see come in? I would like a menace in the box, strong finisher who can occupy centre backs & stretch play. An alternative rather than backup to Sesko. Toney springs to mind although not sure of his character. UK tax clawback prob an issue for him returning

[Vik @vik_h]

@UtdMaI Here’s an idea, how about that left back we signed for £25m two years ago?!

[Vik @vik_h]

@KevEastSports @SwedishRumble I don’t trust the links with Mendes involved, personally, but let’s see

[Vik @vik_h]

@JacobsBen Welcome home Marcus. Time to become the Man United legend you were born to be.

[Vik @vik_h]

@KevEastSports @mitch_fretton I quite like Kroupi. Although I thought he might end up at the other North London club and wearing the 14 shirt

[Vik @vik_h]

@FrankEra_ Player plus cash exchange for Rogers would
be great.

Can equally see Rashford staying

[Vik @vik_h]

@FrankEra_ I was thinking Newcastle. Surely not but Arsenal possibly

[Vik @vik_h]

@MartienBall Rashford’s wages will be a lot higher than Gordon. Prob £5m a year. No resale value

[Vik @vik_h]

@FrankEra_ Anderson / Tchouameni or Tonali I think.

I also think Baleba could go to Chelsea if Enzo goes to Madrid (and we get Tchou)

[Vik @vik_h]

@UtdPride Great talent. We won’t sign him due to Chido though. Kroupi will go to Arsenal

[Vik @vik_h]

@Ben_White86 They’ll just loan players out for a few years, receive a fee and wage cover, then sell down the line when more of the transfer fee has been amortised. Not ideal but sensible way out

[Vik @vik_h]

@FrankEra_ How many games has he come off and we concede? Shows everytime what he brings when on the pitch

[Vik @vik_h]

@MartienBall I think it depends on who’s available and how they compare. Vs Glasner, Silva etc, if Carrick does well I’d go with him. Vs Nagelsmann, Poch, Tuchel, de Zerbi, less clear. But they’ll still be available a season later I suspect

[Vik @vik_h]

@Ole_is_right Reminded me of Ole-ball

[Vik @vik_h]

@Ole_is_right I think the more recent signings are - and due diligence on personality, intelligence, attitude has improved to make this happen - but an issue for older signings
