Why would United do it? Why would we do it….. Oh wait because not one person running the show has any clue what their doing. Whole Sterling situation is also self inflicted. Ideally we get a fee even if its only £5-8m or something. Like the Jorginho deal. At the same time, cannot see why Arsenal would think they should have to pay a decent fee for a 29 year old player on huge wages when he has been stripped of his squad number and sent him to the bomb squad at his current club. If it were shoe on the other foot, I’d 100% back us going the way Arsenal are looking to go about it. Be interesting to see how it goes.

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 What’s his wage currently at Napoli? It’s well under £300k, right? So if Lukaku and hopefully Sterling are both off our books, why could we not just offer to exactly match his current wage and we still come out of this window with a massively reduced wage bill?

But Clownlake have made it clear they have no intention of fixing this I'm not blaming him for that. However, he does have part of play (just look at the first goal we conceded tonight) where the lack of defensive organisation is concerned. In a perfect scenario, he would be sold since there is no position where I can see him excelling or at least doing so at the cost of players with more talent.

Mário César 1,342 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 selling gallagher and wanting to sell chalobah and go after tosin and the other leicester are the most bizarre decisions I can remember seeing that and looking at the goalkeeping situation. just today I saw a report that Chelsea didn't want to buy valecnia's goalkeeper because they wanted to trust robert sanchez. it's unbelievable bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 If Clearlake has no intention to fix GK and CB, I'd be totally fine with ending the shopping bonanza and just focus on outgoings. If so much effort was done to cut the wage bill and allegedly many actually good players were rejected due to "not fitting the wage structure" I don't really see a point of going back around and paying 300k to VO or Sancho, while other guys make half of it and either of them is low yeld high risk move. Let Maresca do with what we have, at least we will always have the excuse of no firepower in worst case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 I genuinely think the club hierarchy feel REALLY good about Fofana & Colwill as a pairing and are banking hard on them developing together over the course of the season. So I’d be stunned if they were thinking about adding another starting caliber CB tomorrow. I bet Trev will end up staying and be reintegrated.
