We know there is a good player in there somewhere & at £10 M it would be hard to say no - the fact that Man U overpaid & didnt know how to use the player isnt our problem -

On Salary AWB would need to decide if he just wants paying till Man U kick him out the door (barely making the bench) or if he wants to be more realistic about whats going on around him right now in his career with the right club he could be playing in the PL / possible England place etc

Whilst I agree that Tomkins will probably be leaving the playing staff and Ward possibly, I suspect Clyne may well be offered another year (he'll only be 32 next April). Indeed, if he keeps performing we could see him getting a further one year extension the following season.

Although £10m appears on paper a steal, the questions remain as to:
a) How much has AWB's head been turned by being a Manure player? and
b) Is he prepared to take the pay-cut needed to fit into our new wage structure?

The massive drop in price for what we sold him plus the opportunity to once again sing "Your wingers do not like him...." are two good selling points.

I am dubious as to how this will play out if he does move but if it happens I will of course at first welcome him back with open arms and throw my support behind Aaron.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

So long as his head is right then I think most of us agree £10m is a steal. This is a player that shut out Neymar and Mbappe in the CL a few years back and he's still young. Also, I think he is better going forward than everyone says he is and certainly as good if not better than Clyne and Ward in this regard. I wonder if like Zaha he needs love and support to thrive, which he certainly isn't getting at United.

A very valid point. He is also very young still and when he moved.

Some blokes may well love the hype of going, living and playing in Manchester but he may well feel far more settled near home. I have the feeling Clyne picked up a bit of steam being on home turf at the grand age of 30(1,2?), may well be the case for AWB.

Also, in footballing terms, I for one would assert that we are a far different club now to when Aaron left. This may have an impact upon him too, not just fighting for survival with slightly more ambition and confidence but not the overwhelming pressure of UT. All just theories of course.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I was well reported at the time that we received 50% at the time with a further 50% deferred for twelve months and we actually borrowed the second portion from an Australian bank secured on the contract
