It's not even like any club is desperate to sign him and we are blocking his move.
From the history of comments made, his agent seem to be a complete sh*thead that make Raiola look like the most virtuous saint. Constantly with those crappy remarks and half covered threats, pretty much just comments that sour the mood and sow mistrust.
Were not there rumours that there are interested clubs from the Prem?
There may have been some interest but may be our stance of him not for sale atleast earlier may have put them off , lets hope Club doesn't back down if he goes it should only be on our own terms.
How much more time does he need off? Just for comparison, Morata came back 2 days after twins birth.No club writes off 60m plus to teach someone a lesson.
Yeah but no one came after him. He was just an option if available.
Not for the price we're quoting. Also, this stunt of his might even scare away interested buyers.
is it confirmed tho or just hearsay?
I usually don't give grief to agents because mostly they are doing their Client's bidding if player doesn't want his agent to act certain way they generally won't.
Agreed. We have invested 58m in him. If he leaves, it should be on our terms. This reminds me a bit of the Di Maria transfer to PSG. But I think Jose won't just let him leave like LVG did.
He's not in US and certainly not in Carrington eight days later.
That's basically what it's devolved into,the people who swear loyalty on a man who had Paul Pogba benched for 2 knockout CL ties attacking any and everyone not willing to lap up whatever venom they have reserved for the scapegoat du-jour
What is this to prove?
This much is true, they would probably not act on their own rogue ideas to ruin the positions of their player, but if so then that would make the situation even worse and put more blame on the player.
probably moved to Spur’s training ground. @GlastonSpur will shed a light on the matterI guess the point is that under UK law he's entitled to two weeks of paid (at the statutory minimum) paternity leave. Unless it's written into his contract - and that would not supersede the law - the club could not fine him for not returning to work within that two week period. Semantically though, they could just pay him the minimum £145 per week, which would be tantamount to a large fine.
You have no idea what you've done, this thread will be ruined now.So Anthony martial is missing
Most are pro-Mourinho on this issue after this recent unforgivable stunt yes and rightfully so – I’m talking throughout his Utd career. Nothing but excuses for inconsistency and blatant lack of effort. This is the Martial thread – It’s about Martial and his case is different to any other player as he’s literally refusing to train. There’s no comparison. Any excuse made for that is disgraceful and is pretty irrelevant to the manager. He’s refusing to show up for the club that pay his wages. He should be fined and sold ASAP – Cancerous behaviour.
Why does this apply to Martial when his partner, unless I've read wrong, gave birth to a child in Paris which as of quote sometime, is located in France..not the UK.
Why on earth would PSG swap Mbappe for Martial?
Based on Mourinho saying he doesn't know if he'll be back when asked about his status. Even if Martial wife / baby are having issues, god forbid that is not the case, then that does not prevent him contacting the club, manager, anyone with his status. When Mourinho deferred the original question to the press secretary, if they knew am sure that would have been disseminated but, it was deferred to them in a way suggesting even they had no clue. Again this is my opinion based on my own values, yes, the birth of my children was monumentally important, more important than anything else but, given his current status, that he is not a shoe in, in his position, I'd have been back fighting tooth and nail, that's the type of mentality I expect from a United player. This is not a run of a mill job and professionals sacrifice a lot to be the best. Am sure others disagree and have a different view but, for me it definitely puts me off.
He got us 2nd place in the league last season. The highest league position since SAF left us.
Because he's an employee of a UK company, so UK rights apply to him. I don't think there are any stipulations on statutory paternity leave regarding where the baby was born.
Knowing Gaston, it will be something along the lines of
There's more than a week left to go.
Who told you that he didn't contact the club, as far as I can see Mourinho said that he doesn't know if he will be back when they return, nothing else. We are creating theories based on the sentence "I don't know.". Maybe he went AWOL, maybe he hasn't, that information hasn't been shared by the club.
