We could be facing Powell in our first game under Jose, as that is against Wigan.

Sad to see Fletcher leave, as he was showing for most of the time here more than Rashford.
I sure hope he is not one like with Pogba that we live to regret not doing more to hold onto him.

Could be a precursor to this Oxford kid coming the other way.

As for Powell, that's probably his level.
We have a fair few centre backs with potential already at the club at a similar age, so it would initially seem a bit strange to bring yet another in from another club.

If we do end up signing Oxford, then I guess he would be ahead of them in any potential pecking order.

If Mourinho thinks that he's better than any of the young players at the club already, in the same position, then your point becomes irrelevant.

If he doesn't, then he won't attempt to sign him. Simple as.

And despite being asked you have yet to give us all the benefit of your expertise regarding what you posted.

The rest of your post is basically 'United fan moaning they dont agree with the managers buying'

Big deal, most fans of their clubs would think they could do a better job of spending the clubs money. Would you rather the clubs didnt actually spend any or do as they have done and support their manager with his team building requests?
Perhaps you could make your point with a detailed analysis of the profit generated available for acquiring new players. At least the Glazers appear to have plenty of reserves.

It just adds more to select from, and more competition for places I suppose if he did come here.
Hopefully Tunazabe and TFM get their chances to shine this season, as it would be a shame for them not to.

Perhaps try the "General Transfer Thread" for this?!

Curses, there should only be United deals in here!

I look forward to seeing how many games he gets for West Ham.

I believe he was ahead of Rashford in the pecking order but events conspired against him, i,e he was out on loan and when every striker was pulling up crocked Rashford was available.

Yeah I read about that, so in a way, he is leaving under not too dissimilar circumstances as Pogba did, less hope he will not cost us yet another £100 million plus in a few years also!

Yeah that was the case, he turned into a star at Barnsley, I could see him back there on loan from West Ham,as the way they are going around Europe it seems desperate to sign any half decent striker for £30 million, doesn't from the outside look as if he will get more chances there, than of he had signed a new deal with us.

He is an OK prospect, he was offered a much improved deal to stay but turned it down. He apparently contiuned to train with us and I believe we accepted his request to stay so that we could keep the offer on the table for him.

He is a leeds fan I believe and could have joined leeds late last year or early this year....they didn't offer enough money so he turned them down
West ham apparently offered 10k more. He is now on £35,000 a week at West ham.

Well this is what I've been told by a West ham season ticket holder anyway.

If it's all true then I'm not too fussed that he wanted to go. We can't let kids earn too much money too young.

If they're deemed to be good enough, they'll get their chances. If they're not, they won't.

It would only be a 'shame' if they were clearly good enough, but left/were held back for reasons other than actual ability.

Oh, and you've mentioned these two particular players on several occasions now. I'm guessing that we're all aware of them. Especially as Fosu-Mensah played for the first-team on a few occasions, last year.

So it was down to money?

Couldn't give a crap then about what happens next for him.

You don't go from Manchester United to West Ham if you have any ambition unless you genuinely think you would get more game time.

Sounds like money was an issue when he turned Leeds down previously.

West Ham are an upwardly-mobile Premier League club, with a dynamic, intelligent manager.

Leeds are a basket-case of a club, who seemingly change their manager every week, and have shown no recent signs of being capable of returning to the Premier League.

West Ham are also in London, with a shiny new stadium.

If he believes in his own ability, then West Ham would appear to be a good move for him.

I don't blame him for turning down Leeds but it does appear from what has been said by another poster this may have been money motivated.

Probably like you said, London is another pull for him.

West Ham is a great move for a player who is far down the pecking order. Good club for his ambitions.

Why the confused emoji? Clearly all that has happened is a poster made a mistake and posted in the wrong thread. Your superior attitude is actually really quite horrible.

If that is true about the £35k a week, then him and his agent have done very well for themselves, as you really cannot turn down such a deal, and I would have been very surprised if we had put together a deal anywhere near that for him.

Regan Poole made his debut for us last season in the first team as well, and he is another one with a lot of potential.
It would definitely be a bit of shame if these players stagnated this seas, when they need to push on, if we are to see the best of them.

Competition though I guess could be said to bring out the best in players, so I hope either way, we see them develop into better players this seas, as that will be to our advantage.

West Ham are a very good club, and they are very much on the up with "their" new ground, and with European football as well.
Although I don't quite know how much actual game time he will get there, as they do still seem to be looking to sign another striker who has more experience then him.

Of course it is.

He surely, just like most other footballers will believe that he can get in their first team, and if he does, then the move will prove worthwhile, it does at this moment look a bit of a stretch that he will do so I think personally.

West Ham is a great move for a player who is far down the pecking order. Good club for his ambitions.
He might have to wait go out on loan this season from them, as currently I don't really see how much actual game time he will get there, as there is a fair few strikers with more experience than him at the club.

There is no superior attitude on my behalf at all, you must be reading too much into things there.


They're a good side, no need for the snobbery.
Yeah, they are very much on the upward trajectory, and I think will be looking to try and crash the top four this year.
