Would you leave your current job for another one for half the salary?

We have cleared plenty of deadwood loanees this season and still have tons left to be shipped. Out of the current set of loanees (as of 2/8/2019), I would only have Dujon sterling, Jake-Clarke Salter, Ampadu and pasalic on our books next year. The rest have no future at the club (morata, moses, musonda, nathan, miazga, baker).

I dont see RLC as a traditional no.10. His main asset is his strength and drive on the ball, rather than his continous movement (aka mount). I feel RLC in a proper no.10 role might be wasted. Just looking at the scoring return of willian and pulisic and relying on them as our no.1 goal scorers will be too much. CHO looks far more of a traditional winger than a second striker. And pedro is way too hit and miss to be given a nod ahead of proven goal scorers like tammy and michy. I am happy that frank is experimenting and trying to get the best formation, but in my opinion, 4-diamond-2 looks to be the worst fit for the current crop of players.

In a position to position analysis Cahill - zouma/tomori Zappacosta - James Higuain - Tammy and batshuayi

I feel diamond should not be played. Our strikers are our biggest shortcomings. Putting 2 of them on the pitch while sacrificing wide players would be redundant. I would rather we play 4-2-3-1. And when RLC comes in, I would hope we shift to 4-3-3.

Why would we risk injuring jorginho and/or kovacic? I am sure these guys are working overtime in the training and learning the new ways. These friendlies and just a way of getting match fitness.

10mil euros would be a good deal.

Does not matter. Anything that floats the english media bubble.

Financially it makes sense to sell him for even 10mil €. I mean we bought him for 25mil€, so he has 2 years left which is 12.5mil€ amortized value on the book or 6.25m€ for this season. If he stays we incur 6.25mil€ + wages (50,000€ per week) 2.5mil€. Which is around 8.75mil€ for this on our books. If we sell him for even 10mil€, and keep Reece, we incur a loss of 2.5mil€ + Reece's wages (which can't be more than 1mil€ at this moment) = 3.5mil€. hell even if we sell zappacosta for just 5mil, we would be pulling even on how much Zappa is going to cost anyways. I honestly want us to sell the deadwood and be rid of all the players like zappacosta, drinkwater, bakayoko before this season starts.

Why loan? Why not sell zappacosta.

A lot of "fans" coming out of this looking like idiots.

5mil? I hope that's a loan fee. Did not we buy him for 20mil?

Needs a change of scenery. Will be nothing but worse than Deadwood here. Mount, Barkley for Cam, Kante, jorginho, RLC and kova for CMs. Should be enough

Reece -- Zappa Willian -- Kenedy CHO -- Palmer RLC -- Drinkwater Ampadu - Loan

He might not view him as a DM/CM. The only 45 mins he played was as a CB where we are already loaded with Luiz, Rudi, andreas, Zouma and tomori. Getting ampadu a loan would probably be the best for him.

Burned again. WOW. How do you keep doing this?

Brilliant comeback.. i got burned.

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27191816/should-england-got-five-not-six-overthrows I was watching the same match you were. It's not when the ball hits, it's when the ball is released. So it should have been a 5 with Rashid on strike.

I dont think i have viewed anything that was downright as pathetic as what i witnessed yesterday. A. It was not even a 6, it was a 5. If the overthrow goes for a 4, only the number of runs completed at the time of throw if taken into consideration. The batsmen had not even crossed, so infact rashid should have taken the strike. B. Cant believe that more number of boundaries decides the winner. I just cant believe that. Whats the logic? Whats the sense behind this. My god. Thats like saying, a team with higher number of shots on target is the winner. I have never seen a more unworthy winner. New Zealand were completely robbed.

Simple point: why would mbappe choose us over lets say, Real madrid. We can sell all of the squad, liquidate the club etc etc, but all of it is MOOT, unless the player himself looks at us as a viable option.

Oh Yes. Forgot that he was a united youth product. Would be a "Homecoming" them.

I hope we keep him. The season can be long, and he is a goal scorer if not anything else. Giroud wont be here after this season, and we will need to buy 2 strikers then. Plus Michy's stock might be at its lowest right now. He really can help us get a lot of extra quids with a half decent season.

If united actually buy him, we should sell them DD for free. As a good will.

Now, if she can sell baka and drinkwater and recoup their fees, THAT would be an out of this world acheivement.
