🚨🚨 “TOTTENHAM OVERPAID FOR TONALI!” Darren Lewis has passionately explained why he believes Spurs paid far too much to secure Sandro Tonali, arguing that modern transfer fees have become increasingly inflated. Tottenham invested a staggering £100million in the Italian midfielder, placing enormous expectations on him to immediately transform Roberto...

Yet another story about Spurs. This obsession is bordering on insanity now. I suppose the Man City deals for Anderson and Fernandes, or Chelsea for Rogers, etc were priced just right and that’s why they are not being forensically analysed like the Tonali deal.

Unfortunately Spurs are not a Milan team, that is where Tonali wants to be. He is home sick and has said as much in interviews. A very selfish boy, who knew he was going to be banded before he arrived at Newcastle

I havent seen his entire piece but I wonder if he mentioned arsenal, city and Utd were interested in him, we had to act quickly and secure the transfer so yes they overpaid in inflated market which city drove when they purchased E. Anderson for crazy money. However we overspend.

🚨Fabrizio Romano confirms Sandro Tonali to Manchester United — HERE WE GO! 🔴 🗣️ “Sandro Tonali to Manchester United, here we go! After recent enquiries from Tottenham Hotspur and interest from several top European clubs, Manchester United have decided to accelerate negotiations and reach a full agreement with Newcastle United. The deal is understood to be worth around £80 million plus add-ons, with all major terms now agreed between the clubs. Manchester United viewed Tonali as one of the priority targets to strengthen the midfield and were determined not to let the opportunity slip away. The player has already approved the move and is excited by the project being built at Old Trafford. Inside the club, Tonali is regarded as one of the most complete midfielders in Europe. His leadership, technical quality, defensive awareness and ability to control matches made him a key target for the recruitment team. Newcastle were reluctant to sell and held firm during negotiations, but Manchester United’s persistence eventually led to a breakthrough. Tottenham made enquiries in recent weeks and explored the conditions of a potential deal, but the player made it clear that his preferred destination was Manchester United. Tonali believes the opportunity to become a central figure in the next chapter of Manchester United’s history was too important to turn down. Personal terms have been agreed and the final documents are being prepared. Medical tests are expected to take place shortly before the transfer is officially announced. Manchester United see Tonali as a player capable of transforming the midfield immediately and helping the team compete at the highest level once again. The Italian midfielder is set to become Michael Carrick’s second signing as Manchester United manager. A huge statement signing. Sandro Tonali to Manchester United — HERE WE GO! 🔴✅” {Fabrizio Romano }

🚨Steve Holland on Manchester United’s summer midfield plans with Carlos Baleba, Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson all under consideration: 🗣️ “Manchester United’s priority is to build a midfield that can control games, win duels and still have the technical quality to play progressive football. The ideal midfielder for Manchester United today is someone who can defend large spaces, recover possession, progress the ball quickly and contribute in both phases of play. That’s why different profiles are being discussed. Sandro Tonali is attractive because he is already proven at the highest level. He brings leadership, intensity, tactical intelligence and experience in big matches. Carlos Baleba offers physical dominance, athleticism and defensive security. He has the profile to become one of the best ball-winning midfielders in Europe. Elliot Anderson is admired because of his energy, versatility and ability to carry the ball through midfield. He understands the pace of the Premier League and has shown he can influence games consistently. Mateus Fernandes is viewed differently. The club sees him as a player with huge potential, technical quality and room to develop, but also understands that he is not yet as proven as some of the other names being considered. The reason Tonali, Anderson and Baleba are receiving so much attention is because they fit the immediate need for reliability and physical presence in midfield. Manchester United want players who can compete now while also helping build the foundation for the future. The club likes Fernandes, but when comparing profiles, Tonali, Anderson and Baleba are seen as players who can impact the team immediately while still having their best years ahead of them.” {TNT Sports }

🚨Fabrizio Romano confirms Lewis Hall to Manchester United — HERE WE GO! 🔴 🗣️ “Lewis Hall to Manchester United, here we go! The agreement is now in place between all parties involved. Manchester United have reached an agreement on a deal worth around £60 million plus add-ons, with the structure of the payments now finalised. The player has already given the green light to the project and is excited by the opportunity to become part of Manchester United’s long-term rebuild. United see Lewis Hall as one of the most talented young full-backs in English football. His versatility, technical quality, ability in possession and attacking threat were major factors behind the club’s decision to push strongly for the deal. The recruitment department has been tracking him for a long time and believes he can become one of the best left-backs in Europe in the coming years. There was significant competition for his signature. Chelsea were determined to bring him back and remained interested throughout the process. Liverpool also explored the possibility of signing the player and viewed him as an ideal long-term option. In the final stages of negotiations, both Real Madrid and Barcelona made enquiries to understand the conditions of a potential deal. However, despite interest from some of the biggest clubs in world football, Lewis Hall made his decision clear. The player informed those close to him that Old Trafford was his preferred destination. He believes Manchester United offers him the perfect platform to develop, compete regularly and become a central figure in the club’s future. Personal terms have been agreed and the final documents are now being prepared. Medical tests are expected to take place shortly before the transfer is officially announced. Manchester United believe Hall can immediately challenge for a starting position while becoming one of the foundations of the new project. A major signing for the future.

🚨Fabrizio Romano on Manchester United’s pursuit of Mateus Fernandes: 🗣️ “I can confirm that after several rounds of discussions, Manchester United have submitted an opening proposal for Mateus Fernandes worth around £40 million plus add-ons. At this stage, West Ham are reluctant to accept the offer as they value the player significantly higher and believe his long-term potential justifies a larger fee. Negotiations remain ongoing, but there is currently a gap between the two clubs’ valuations. Manchester United appreciate Fernandes’ profile and see him as a young midfielder capable of developing into an important player in the coming years. However, the club is also aware of other opportunities in the market and will not allow negotiations to drag on indefinitely. Carlos Baleba, Sandro Tonali, Elliot Anderson and Ederson remain among the midfield names being monitored internally. United’s recruitment team has spent months assessing different profiles in order to strengthen the centre of the pitch. The club’s priority is to secure a young midfielder who can contribute immediately while also becoming a key part of the long-term project. Only after that position is addressed will Manchester United fully accelerate plans in other areas of the squad. Several defensive and attacking targets continue to be evaluated, but midfield remains the primary focus for now. The coming weeks will be important in determining whether a compromise can be reached with West Ham or whether Manchester United decide to move on to alternative targets.” {Fabrizio Romano }

🚨David Ornstein on Manchester United’s position regarding Marcus Rashford and Mateus Fernandes: 🗣️ “Manchester United’s stance on Marcus Rashford remains unchanged. The club is open to listening to offers and there is a growing feeling internally that a permanent separation would be the best outcome for all parties. While Rashford remains a player of significant quality, United’s focus is on building a new project and reshaping the squad. Regarding Mateus Fernandes, Manchester United appreciate the player’s talent and potential. However, the club does not currently believe the reported valuation represents good value in the market. United’s recruitment team views Fernandes as a promising midfielder with a bright future, but there is caution about committing such a substantial fee. If West Ham fail to lower their asking price, Manchester United are prepared to move on and pursue alternative targets. The club has a number of midfielders on its shortlist and does not intend to become involved in a prolonged transfer saga. Among the names being considered are Sandro Tonali, Carlos Baleba, Elliot Anderson, Ederson and Aurélien Tchouaméni. United believe those players offer different qualities but are all capable of strengthening the midfield immediately. The priority remains signing a midfielder who can bring athleticism, control, defensive security and leadership to the team. As things stand, Fernandes remains admired, but Manchester United will not hesitate to explore other options if they feel the financial demands do not align with the player’s current market value.” {Sky News }

Michael Owen on RB Leipzig rejecting Real Madrid’s €100 million bid for Yan Diomandé and demanding €130 million. 🗣️ “Rejecting a €100 million offer from Real Madrid for a player who’s only just broken into top-level football is astonishing. I don’t care how talented Yan Diomandé is that kind of valuation has to be earned over years, not after one breakthrough season.” “I like the player. I think he has enormous potential. But potential doesn’t automatically make you a €130 million footballer. Football has started paying for dreams instead of achievements, and that’s becoming a serious problem.” “The moment Real Madrid enter the race, some clubs completely lose perspective. Suddenly every exciting young talent is worth a record-breaking fee. That’s not smart business anymore—that’s simply overpricing the player.” “€100 million is already an incredible statement of belief from Real Madrid. Most young players can only dream of a club valuing them that highly. To reject that and immediately demand another €30 million feels completely disconnected from reality.” “If RB Leipzig genuinely don’t want to sell him, then come out and say he’s not for sale. But asking for €130 million after one outstanding season makes it look like they’re using Real Madrid’s interest to inflate the market beyond reason.” “Real Madrid aren’t buying a Ballon d’Or winner or a player who’s dominated Europe for five or six years. They’re buying a footballer with incredible promise. There is a huge difference, and transfer fees should reflect that.” “This is exactly why the transfer market is becoming harder every year. Clubs complain that fewer elite deals happen, yet they’re the ones putting impossible price tags on players who are still at the very beginning of their careers.” “Leipzig have every right to protect their asset, but rejecting €100 million for a player who has only just announced himself to world football is a huge gamble. If his development slows down or injuries arrive, people will look back and ask whether greed got in the way of common sense.”

🚨Thierry Henry on Myles Lewis-Skelly being offered to Manchester United and Chelsea, with Arsenal reportedly open to selling. 🗣️“I’m going to say this slowly so it sinks in. Myles Lewis-Skelly is not some promising kid you’re allowed to sell because the books look tidy. He is already a first-team player who understands the most important thing in modern football: how to control space with and without the ball. And Arsenal are seriously considering opening the door to Manchester United and Chelsea after fresh contact following Bruno Guimarães’ arrival? That is not squad planning. That is self-sabotage dressed up as business. Let me break down exactly what you’re looking at. Tactically, Lewis-Skelly is the prototype inverted full-back that every elite coach wants. He doesn’t just bomb up and down the line like a traditional left-back. He steps inside, receives between the lines, progresses the ball under pressure, and still has the recovery speed to shut down transitions. At Arsenal he already slots perfectly into Arteta’s system, the same system that demands full-backs who can become temporary midfielders when the team builds. He gives them numerical superiority in the middle without sacrificing width. That is rare. That is valuable. That is not something you replace with a random signing in January. Now imagine that same profile landing at either Manchester United or Chelsea right after Bruno Guimarães walks through the door. Bruno dominates the middle. He dictates tempo, he wins duels, he connects phases. Suddenly you drop Lewis-Skelly next to him and you have a left-sided player who can receive from Bruno, carry into the final third, or invert and create overloads. United get a modern left-back who can finally progress the ball instead of just surviving. Chelsea get another high-ceiling, high-work-rate piece that fits their rotation and development model perfectly. Both clubs win. Immediately. Not in three years. Now. And Arsenal? They will tell themselves they have depth. They will say they can replace him. That is the same language every club uses right before they watch a homegrown talent become a problem for them every single season. You develop a boy who already starts, who already understands the intensity of the Premier League, who already has the composure most 24-year-olds are still chasing, and you sell him because two big clubs made a fresh call after Bruno arrived? That is not smart. That is weak. I’ve seen this exact movie too many times. The club that sells the kid who ‘isn’t quite ready yet’ spends the next four years trying to buy a worse version of him for three times the money. The club that buys him gets a foundation player who grows into a monster in front of their fans. Lewis-Skelly is not a squad option. He is a future cornerstone who is already delivering. Sell him and you are not cashing in on potential. You are selling a player who is already solving problems on the pitch. Arsenal fans should be furious at the very idea. United and Chelsea are not circling because they are bored. They are circling because they see what Arsenal risk throwing away. Fresh contact after Bruno’s arrival is not coincidence. It is opportunistic. They smell hesitation. Keep the boy. Let him grow into the player who makes left-backs across the league look ordinary. Because the second you open that door, one of those two clubs is walking through it with a smile, and Arsenal will spend years explaining why the left side never felt the same again. Do not do it. This one will hurt.”

This hypocritical, biased dumbass literally said it’s not Rashford’s fault and that all the blame should be on the #MUFC management for trying to reintegrate him into the team. And the most annoying part? His followers will still sit there defending this nonsense. How can someone be this determined to hate the club that literally feeds his platform? How is none of this Rashford’s fault? He didn’t want to play for Manchester United. He wanted to leave. He literally said he wanted a “new challenge.” His performances before he left were pathetic. £325k a week and he couldn’t even be bothered to run half the time. One genuinely great season for us, and outside of that, he has been incredibly inconsistent. He thought he was a superstar who would simply walk into any top club in Europe. The #mufc management reportedly wanted just £28m for him, in a summer where Anthony Gordon is being valued at almost £80m, and somehow you’re STILL blaming the management? Is it the management that told Barcelona not to see value in Rashford? Is it the management that stopped other top clubs from deciding he wasn’t worth the money or wages? Rashford literally made it clear he didn’t want Turkey or Saudi Arabia. He wanted a top European club. Fine. But no top club came for him. So what exactly do you expect Manchester United to do? Tear up his contract? Give him away for free? Pay a huge portion of his wages while he plays for someone else? Keep bending over backwards for a player who has already made it clear he wants out? I don’t blame the board for refusing to bend over backwards for Barcelona. They spent £100m on wingers and were willing to spend around £150m on Álvarez. If they don’t see Rashford as worth the money, that’s their decision. But this whole “the board should have handled it better” argument is ridiculous. How much better could they realistically have handled it? They put a £28m price tag on him. That is not some outrageous valuation. They tried to sell him. No club came forward with the money. Rashford didn’t want to go to certain leagues. His wages are enormous. What exactly do you genuinely want the club to do? Loan him out, let another club use him, AND have Manchester United continue paying part of his £325k-a-week wages while we’re trying to rebuild the squad? And then Mark is talking about PR. What exactly do you expect Manchester United to announce? “Rashford is under contract, but we don’t want him here”? Of course they’re not going to publicly humiliate a player who is still their employee. At some point, you have to stop bending reality just to blame the club. Even thinking Rashford is one of the reason they are not giving big contracts anymore! Mark has genuinely become one of the dumbest football commentators I’ve ever seen. And the fact that people will still bend themselves into pretzels defending this take is what gets me. And not like I won’t back Rashford, he’s our player now, and we will give him the support until he’s not. That what a real fan do not crying everyday on livestream #transfer #blockmarkgoldbride #manunited

This eerie 10-minute sequence in "Cape Fear" (1991), where Robert De Niro's 'Max Cady' tricks Juliette Lewis' 'Danielle' into meeting with him at the high school is what convinced Martin Scorsese to do the movie. He considers it "the crux" of the entire film and said, “It was the scene that made me make the movie. I realized if I can pull off that scene, with the actors and the writer, it'd be great." De Niro explained that he wanted Max Cady to have the ability perform Charles Manson-like “mind trips” on his victims. So, he felt the necessity to have this scene. Lewis said, "When [the scene] was over, it was like I had to come down. I just went straight to [De Niro] and said, 'God, that was fun.'” The sequence became one of the film's most talked-about moments and helped Lewis nab an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. When Spielberg and De Niro were trying to convince Scorsese to direct the picture over dinner, he rejected it as he "didn't want to get involved in remakes. It's a really difficult thing to do, especially if [the original film] is a good picture.” To convince him somehow, Spielberg said to him, "Listen, if you don't like the script, you can rewrite it." Scorsese, who was suffering from fatigue after post-production work on "Goodfellas" (1990) jokingly said that he had forgotten about that part (Screenwriting) of the process. Martin Scorsese said high-energy chase sequences like this weren’t in his filmmaking wheelhouse, and he praised Spielberg for doing scenes like that “so beautifully,” while claiming his approach would have “become a cliche. I couldn't even bring myself to think about doing that sort of thing.” There wasn't any preparation for the scene. It was done in one take. About filming the scene, Scorsese said, "We froze and it was like magic." ("'Cape Fear' at 30: Why Martin Scorsese Needed Convincing to Direct Iconic Thriller (Flashback)", Joe Bergren, ET, 2021)

🚨Luis de la Fuente was asked on the Ballon d’Or race between Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal and Rodri. 🎙️ Reporter: “Luis, there’s growing debate about the Ballon d’Or. Some believe Lionel Messi deserves it after leading Argentina at the World Cup, while others believe Lamine Yamal or Rodri should win. What’s your view?” 🗣️ Luis de la Fuente: “For me, giving the Ballon d’Or to Lionel Messi based only on the World Cup would be unfair to what other players have achieved over the entire season. “Messi has had an outstanding World Cup, and nobody can deny his influence for Argentina. But the Ballon d’Or has always been about evaluating a player’s performances across the season, not just one tournament. “When I look at Lamine Yamal, I see a player who has performed consistently at the highest level. He competed in the Champions League, won La Liga, lifted multiple trophies with his club, and also won the European Championship. That is an exceptional season. “Then you have Rodri, who has been one of the most complete and consistent midfielders in world football. His influence every week for club and country has been enormous. “If you ask me who deserves the Ballon d’Or, I believe the discussion should be between Lamine Yamal and Rodri. They have delivered across an entire campaign in different competitions. “Lionel Messi will always be one of the greatest players in football history, and what he’s doing at his age deserves enormous respect. But if we’re judging this award on the full season, my opinion is that Lamine Yamal and Rodri have stronger cases.”
