I made a post talking about their goals yesterday so looked at their league minutes...by far the least?That's pretty much exactly what he is, has played by far the least out of Mata, Rashford, Micki, Martial and him.
I can't think of a bigger blessing in life to be honest..
17 appearances as opposed for 21, 22 and 22 for Mkhitarian, Rashford and Martial so he's not as much a backup player as I'd like. I do think he has a place in the team.That's pretty much exactly what he is, has played by far the least out of Mata, Rashford, Micki, Martial and him.
Don't know why on earth would league minutes only be counted? We've won one trophy and seems more and more likely that our only path to CL is via a non-PL competition. Minutes in full:
Oh come on, young was an english national and depay was on 90k(best player in dutch league and top scorer), Schniderlin was on 80k by all accounts.
Rooney has more minutes than Martial and Mkhitarian?
Because the post was made yesterday when we were talking about the lack of league goals
To me minutes tell more of a story than appearances, as you can theoretically play 10mins in each game meaning in terms of appearances you'd look like a 1st option, but in minutes clearly like a squad player.
Oh, you are right and Pogue too(don't tell him that), but I can't get used to these wages for squad players. For example, if it's in gross that's the same wage than Umtiti or Ter Stegen.
Yeah well that discussion has nothing to do with my view of him as a squad player.
My point was him not deserving anything close to 100k/week. It would be harder to sell him(if we have to) as no one will buy him with those wages.
His teammates probably.
Nonsense. No club has world class players at every position. Every club needs experienced players and younger players it has developed. This is nothing more than creating continuity through experience.
I think a team would. A HG quota player, plus we just offloaded Schneiderlin and Memphis for really good fees, both presumably on high wages.
I don't care whether or not Young played for the mighty Ingerland. He was a good player at Villa and Fergie liked what he saw and bought him.
I'm guessing he wouldn't otherwise the club would of offered half of that.
No, he is to be paid what he deserves, it doesnt mean if we offloaded Two players we give him more, we dint offload bastian and pay rooney more cause that wont make sense. HG quota and all that shit does not matter. He is not a 100k/week player in any way possible.
Then we should have flogged him and bought someone cheaper, it's not like we'd miss him. The state of the club is partly down to leniency like this. Ashley Young on 130k a week for being on the bench, ditto Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger on 200k a week. Ain't good enough.
He deserves what the club say he deserves, not what random fans on the internet think because they're jealous footballers make a lot more money than them.
I agree with your overall point although I'm not sure why you've classed Willian in Lingard's category. If you think Lingard is on Willian's level then you're a bit deluded.
Kieran Richardson must be kicking himself he wasn't around at the club today
If he was committed to united, he wouldnt be asking for 100k to stay. He is probably laughing to the bank.
Perfect example, they'll use wages pre-tax for players which can cause division/controversy like Shaw for example because it fits with the 'worlds most expensive teenager' story.
Not so far I believe, and any other time Sky are seen as unreliable, so i'll wait for the club to announce that he's actually negotiated a deal first.
"A great player"
Lingard can't believe it either
