Just admit mistake and let them go even for free, are board still hoping they will come good on loans? I always start with the understanding that the board has more experience dealing with player contracts than I do. I then recognise that they have more information than I do about each player's contractual situation and options. I appreciate that the decision makers are not stupid and are capable of weighing the pros and cons of a sale vs a renewal and loan. Lastly, I accept that all of these circumstances make it inevitable that the board will make better decisions about these matters than I possibly could.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Bakayoko has rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea. He wants a move to AC Milan either via loan or permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Thank fuck, Bakayoko has done us a favour by rejecting a contract offer. I wouldn't let him play for my sons team if he paid me. Mufassir08, Vesper and Atomiswave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as a loan club pays for the full salary and covers the remaining amortisation value as a loan fee, it makes perfect sense to extend if the player was willing to do it. Bakayoko right now has a year left on his contract so amortisation value of €8M for next year. If he were to extend it would go down to €4M a year for the next two years which means the player is "cheaper" on the club's books and it would be more probable to find a club that pays for the full costs during the loan and then hopefully the same club would then take up the option to buy next summer. Surely the transfer market hasn't fully gotten over COVID yet and most clubs (especially Italian ones) still can't afford to pay a lot for players but perhaps next year they could. If the club think loan fee + future transfer fee is bigger than whatever next-to-nothing fee they could get for the player in these circumstances it's only smart business to try to renew the contract. Bakayoko however doesn't seem too keen so it's up to the club to find a permanent new home for him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 My tweeter feed has these tweets from the likes of Simon Johnson detailing all the talks we are having with Haaland. Jan might be a broken clock, but I think this is one of his two correct tweets a day… based on how much people thought we were in for Hakimi, only to find out later there were no direct negotiations. I think we may approach Haaland, but I think Jan is correct right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems not. 3 minutes ago, ZAPHOD2319 said: It was Simon Phillips quoting Duncan Castles It's the same source MoroccanBlue posted last night. Duncan Castles is a shit source. Given Fjortoft's connection with the Haaland camp, you would think he would be the first to know if there's anything going on with the player. And Fjortoft's tweet above also matches up with what Matt Law was saying in that podcast - not a lot going on with Haaland, all just silly rumors etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,940 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 United may have several top quality signings sealed and delivered before we even actually bid on anyone. It’s like the reverse of last summer where we were doing business left and right and United fans were screaming bloody murder at their club for doing fuck all. The CL win has done a lot to calm the concern but seeing other teams starting to drastically improve while we’re silent is annoying. United we’re always going to go big this summer so it’s not a shock. But I figured we’d attack the market for the few needs we have and get our business done swiftly. That’s clearly not happening. laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
