OGS would have wanted him to stay, but Woody nego and say salary not right.

Mata may have taken a pay cut to stay on and anyway, Mata is a fan favourite

Players would have had to take a 25% pay cut cos of not reaching the top four position, which is incorporated to their contracts.
Maybe that is why Pogba and De Gea are seeking new grounds

I read an interview which Herrera said he felt not respected during the contract nego....

[loveikan]

The transfer market is getting way out of control with ridiculous valuation being put on a player either by the selling club or the agent.

Yes, it is a free market but these club and agent taking advantage when the opportunity arises.

Read lots of report that Woody is haggling on the price of the Portuguese midfielder, Fernandes which we shud hv confirmed earlier. Now other clubs r showing interest n Sporting is holding out for a bidding war

Hopefully not true else we'll end up paying over the mkt value...

But then again, it's so like Woody

So very true. Just like Mcguire. Last season Woody refused to sanction JM purchase cos he felt too expensive but today he cost at least another additional 10million and yet we seems interested!!!

The problem is when i see some very good players transferred to other clubs, the price they paid is like very cheap and a good deal, but when talk about coming to United, the price automatically double or almost triple sometimes. We wear orange with green cap??

But I do like the new player we confirmed James, fast, stocky and fearless

Hope they quickly sell PP at the reported €150 mil and invest the money into the team

Btw when will Woody hand over the transfer responsibility?
Read that, we will not hv a DOF after all.

Yes read that Woody would like to maintain this "CONTROL" and does not wish to relinquish this port-folio.
So LPPL
He will have sole control and managers would simply have to do his biddings.
So probably all these hypes about who is coming or going are merely rumours only

From https://www.football365.com/news/sev...-to-get-rid-of

Agree with his points except maybe Luke Shaw

Getting rid of the deadwood
United desperately need signings, but they need to display a similar level of urgency in getting rid of the deadwood that sits at our club year after year. A good start would be to stop offering bad players contract extensions, but alas, here we are. Who needs to go? Let me tell you, my naive friend who believes any of the people I’m about to mention will actually leave.

1) Ashley Young. If next season starts and Ashley Young walks out of that tunnel with the captain’s armband on, I will be taking a sabbatical from football. I’m very much like Pep Guardiola in that sense. Seriously though, Ashley Young needs to leave and never look back. We all need to pretend that he was never here. He is the epitome of everything wrong with this club. Bad players getting contract extensions because they’re English and “reliable.” And by “reliable” I mean he had a few games that were better than most people would have thought a bad winger turned bad full back could muster up.

2) Phil Jones and Chris Smalling. Comedy duo of the century. Two players who truly know how to bring out the worst in each other and myself. Let us end the proverbial shit storm that plagues our club. Please, for the love of football, just leave.

3) Luke Shaw. Voted our player of the season. Luke Shaw was voted our player of the season. Luke. Shaw. The type of player who looks like he just kind of got bored so he decided to stop trying very hard. Guess it’s working out well.

4) Sanchez. At least you can play piano.

5) Lukaku. For his own sake. Wherever he goes next, he will score goals. Wherever he goes after that, he will score goals. Unfortunately, despite a pretty decent record, United and Lukaku seem like a mismatch. Yet the love Daniel Storey made me feel for you remains.

6) Lingard. He has the creativity of a 70 year old accountant and he shoots like a democrat. Get him out.

I am now bored of this and will stop. Goodbye.
