The United retained list has several players who they are in discussions with regarding extending their contracts. Amps, who has signed, and Pascal were not mentioned. The ones who were are Darlow, Cairns and Byram. I can understand the two keepers but Byram? Does that mean we're hoping not to have to sign an additional FB?

They may be talking to him about a combined role with coaching, and keeping his registration as a player, just in case we have a bad time with injuries? Other than that, guess I ain't got a clue!

Byram being retained for another year isn't that surprising.
What is surprising is why our owners/management sold Summerville for just £25 million, without, it seems, a sell-on clause or any add-ons at all.

How long was left on his contract?

Summerville had 2 years left on his contract .. till 2026 (he left in summer 2024) .

I think Man United would be taking a big risk to pay 50 Mil for Summerville. In fact, if they do manage to get him, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a much smaller amount. West Ham are not in a bargaining position.
Not only that, Summerville has only been impressive in the Premiership since January, and that's it. Is he going to be consistent with that in a high pressure team like Man U?

I would be a tad surprised if Man U signed Summerville. I rate Summerville, but not sure he is a UCL-level player. But he has broken into the Dutch team, to be fair, and defo EPL-level class.
The point is, why did master of deals (in his sleep) , Paraag Marathe and Co. very disappointingly and surprisingly fail to get a sell-on clause and any add-ons on Summerville in the 2024 lowish-fee sale.

Personally, I believe Cree will only get better, but yeah, 50m is way OTT. I see Van Hecke is off to Spuds for 52m, that said!

Agree Bright, re Byram. No cost apart from his wages, and he was seemingly well liked and a bit of a calming influence in the dressing room last season.

Whatever you think of that silly game that the Americans refer to as Football, (personally I hate it) , they don't half have some fabulous stadiums that are being used for the World Cup.

Very true, pal! Beautiful venues, built to cater to the fans! We'll have a smaller version very soon!

Been to a couple, the Dallas stadium is simply amazing, even has a turf storage area under the field with all the different end zones in for college bowl games etc.
Screen suspended above the field is huge.
The New York (Jersey) has everything lit, colours change green to blue etc., depending on if Jets or Giants are playing.

16 Jun 2026 10:50:13
Shame there's been some appalling football played on them!

But, of course, the Dallas stadium cost £969M to build in 2009, equivalent to £1,450M today, and makes £150M for our expansion seem small beer!

Lukaku, believe it or not, has a better goals record than Harry Kane has in international football.
Really surprised me, as Lukaku I always thought was just decent, whereas Kane is a proper world class striker.
This probably shows how many easy goals are to be had in international football?

I asked Google to look up Hornicek, the Braga keeper, as apparently Leeds have an interest in him. Whatever way I said it into my phone microphone, a list of Braga escort sites popped up!
Horny chicks Braga was in the search box. 🤣

I saw where that was going right away. 🤣🤣

Won't mind if I borrow that excuse, will you, Corkey? 🤣

The problem is, fellas, I googled Hornicek Cork straight after. 🤣😂🤣😂

Hull put in a bid of around £12m.

Window opens today. Let’s hope they do some early business and have identified targets.
Many rumors. Guess we’ll find out when signed; also get players sold that aren’t in plans.
Still hoping Amps has convinced Wilson to come over and, as stated before, I’d go for Summerville and offer them James or Piroe and cash.
Still talk of Trafford and Pope. Think former too expensive and Pope too old, is he 35?
3
14 Jun 2026 22:59:08
Piroe has stated he won't go to Champo MW. I reckon he will try and see out his final year to go on a free.
No chance Leeds are signing Trafford or Summerville.
Very slim chance of Leeds signing Wilson, imo.
3
15 Jun 2026 11:21:46
Think Piroe said no to the Championship for a January move.
The board have to play out goings much, much harder than they have previously.
So many need moving on this summer to help generate funds for extra in comings.
Recruitment was decent last summer, needs to be as good or better this summer, but they must do way, way better at getting players out the door & for a good price, no give aways.

15 Jun 2026 13:37:51
Love to have Wilson, but somehow can't see it happening. Not convinced we should go back in for Jimmy - probably too expensive for us now.
I'm going to have faith in our recruitment team. They didn't do too bad a job last summer. Stach, Bijol, Gudmundssn, DCL plus Nmecha all turned out to be excellent signings.
More of the same this summer, please.

15 Jun 2026 14:23:53
Davey, getting certain players out for good fees is needed, but I remain unconvinced that Paraag, Underwood and co can do it.
Baz summer tip.. Piroe goes overseas in cut price deal or he leaves on free next summer.
Agree with Cleggy's post.
4
15 Jun 2026 15:23:17
I agree, Baz, that yes, the recruitment was decent last summer, but they have a lot to prove when it comes to offloading players.
So many need to go & be upgraded on for next season.
Wober
Schmidt
Harrison
Piroe
To name but a few.

One bit of early good news, Cucurella leaving Chelski and off to Madrid. That's one I won't be sorry to see the back of.

Big, big ditto, JR! Hate that cheating wum!

Terrible player on the pitch, but one of the most humble, very down-to-earth people off the pitch. A real Jekyll and Hyde character change.
Like Gruev, Cucurella, along with Dunk, are the players who gave the most back to the fans and community when at Brighton. He's had some horrendous family challenges with his children, but is unquestionably annoying, as you know what, on the pitch.
1
16 Jun 2026 08:37:19
Didn't actually know that, Class. Does slightly impact my views on him, as I see that side of being a pro footballer as very important.

14 Jun 2026 20:48:17
Ok I've had a few now, but are Leeds United players that crap that none of them are getting a start?
Tuned in to watch Okafor the other night and then tonight Tanaka is on the bench. WTF.
2
14 Jun 2026 21:52:11
Odd you didn't mention Aaronson cork. 😂
The Okafor one was very odd, the main Swiss success came from out wide and yet he wasn't brought on when Vargas was subbed.
I'm hoping AO will get on in 2nd half.
2
14 Jun 2026 22:24:07
Okafor is perhaps a little overrated by some of us. Bless. Maybe not quite as good as we think for international starts.
2
14 Jun 2026 22:31:59
Would be amazed if Gudmundsson doesn't start tomorrow - unless he's injured?
2
14 Jun 2026 23:05:31
Would think GG gets some mins.
3
14 Jun 2026 23:13:35
Not sure about GG.. but seem to recall Tanaka often starts for Japan.
2
15 Jun 2026 01:32:25
I was thinking Tanaka would come on as a 2nd half sub, but when they went 2:1 down, it was logical that the subs would mostly be forwards.
2
15 Jun 2026 14:00:14
Gudmundsson played [well, if anyone watched] and Nmecha scored.
1
15 Jun 2026 14:05:49
Wrong Nmecha, wish we had that one, a great player!

15 Jun 2026 15:53:22
Hehe.. The Germany match is the only one I haven't watched so far [expected a trouncing, so wasn't interested]. I concede, when I saw the result, I was surprised, as I was sure "ours" hadn't gone! lol.

15 Jun 2026 17:43:48
CW, I totally forgot about Aaronson! I wonder why?. 🤣
