Our contract renewal policy is a joke. Something needs to change, wake up.
I don't think it is. Think it's an issue all clubs face at the moment.
With the way the market is at the moment, we're gonna see more and more contract negotiations dragged out, and more deals like the Sanchez deal. Vast majority of clubs can't afford to spend 80mil+ on single players. If a player wants out and to join a certain club, who aren't willing to spend that, they'll have to run down their contract where the selling club risks losing a key player for peanut, or worse, nothing.
Haven't really been in this thread, but I'd say there's a good chance De Gea is off to Madrid either this summer, or for peanuts next.
