He could come good but the stats don't look great, could probably say that about a few of his players though to be fair.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

NERVY-OWL Â Â 195 #123 Posted July 18, 2019 Always liked mcgoldrick, wouldn't of complained if we signed him, bargain in a free but would of ended up in the treatment room more often than not knowing us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If, and it's a big if, we have a good season, they'll be worth considerably more too Edited July 19, 2019 by Moistened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You might get those figures for the other three if they perform in the Prem for a full season but not at present.  For the record I think United will more than hold there own next season and I'd expect to finish around 10th place.

Perhaps you're right given his age and injury record prior to us. The other three however would currently fetch that amount I reckon when you look at their age, quality and what they've achieved.  We paid 4 million for Egan for example, I don't think it's ridiculous that an English player of his age who's just won promotion to the Premier League wouldn't have more than doubled his value. Edited July 19, 2019 by Moistened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
