Clyne? I think not. He is not what he was. Since the club is not serious about competing with the top half, it would be better to sign someone with a sell on value. Agree about Clyne - he's not what he was But you need to get a grip. We’re all gutted about AWB but his sale makes sense. He wants to go to Manure - for whatever reason. Personally I think he’s leaving us a season too early and to the wrong club but I’m not in his shoes and earning 9x what I was before. We have extracted top dollar for him. And let’s be frank: we could do with the turnover. You say we dont have ambitions for top 10? Well call me naive but I think we are desperate for a striker. I remember when we regularly had our pants pulled down by the big boys coz we had a chairman who would sell at the first chance and barely replace the player. In contrast to those days - look at what happened when Bolassie went. This is a different era - 7 years in the top division? Keep the faith.

It's a very sad day for anyone who wants to watch quality football and who deluded themselves that we might, at last, be a serious club. Let's see where that money goes. We are not Barcelona. Sometimes we have to sell players. Get used to it.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

So United still have the 25% Zaha sell on fee apparantly. If true then that's great negotiating from us again... Edited by DeanMiles (26 Jun 2019 12.13pm)

And please answer the question. How? And please don’t answer with loans because for every Batschuyai there’s Sanogoal’s and Bumfluff’s. So what would YOU do?

Edited by DeanMiles (26 Jun 2019 12.13pm) TBH I can't see why Utd would ever have agreed to that. 20% sell on for a player rated 60 to 80 mill is 12 to 20 million. But look on the positive. for as long as Utd have the sell on fee it means we would want more money for him if anyone wants him and therefore less likely to leave. So in my books Utd keeping the sell on fee is a good thing.

So in my books Utd keeping the sell on fee is a good thing. What happens when the excuse of we need to balance the books happens again? He won't have as long on his contract, he will be older and he won't be worth as much. Hope Zaha doesn't get pissed off and want out because no one wants him at what he's priced at right now.

No use keeping an unhappy player. I wish him well and hope for a decent replacement. No player is bigger than the club.

When the Beeb report it, it must be true. Going, going, gone Lets hope he suffers a better stint than Wilf (that said we would have him back of course)

A shame. I did think that we might have got another season from him but I guess you take your chance when it comes along. I'm sure we will all remember his excellent contribution to our cause over the last 18 months and it was good to finally see another academy player make it in the first team. We can only hope there a few more rough diamonds in there who when polished up can follow AWBs path ( into the Palace team not Man Utd that is)
