Where's the DOF?
A DOF followed by 2 or maybe 3 top quality first team signings - set a strategy, start to change the dynamic and see how the squad reacts. P45s for Darmian, Rojo, Jones, Young, Herrera and Matic. Looking for a reaction from Sanchez, Bailly, Martial, Lukaku and Pogba. Perhaps one more season for Lingard, Perreira and Mata whilst we stalk replacement midfielders.

The article says 60 million is available plus what they make from sales Eriksen, Toby and Trippier.

We should offer spurs 100m for Eriksen and Toby. You know Levy loves dealing with us, it will be easy :nervous:

I know stuff like this is often made up, but it makes you angry reading it all the same, they have both been guilty of poor form, hence why we are in this position, so rightly deserve less money, as do the rest.

You'd think that'd make them try twice as hard for next season if we do miss out, but our players just seem to want to be rewarded for failing.

You've even acknowledged it's made up, why on earth would you then get angry about it?

Wouldn’t be a shock to see Sane want to leave. He’s too good to be sitting on the bench.

At least I'm losing it with 'The Times' as a source, rather than the 'Express', or 'Sun', like alot on here, but yes you are right, I had moment of weakness.

It would seem totally Ed to have put a 25% reduction clause in the players contracts, only to give them all a wage increase when the said reduction kicks in
For Christs sake - this is a clause United inserted into every contract for the last 15 or so years. I think Alan Smith was one of the first signed players who got it. It has nothing to do with Woodward.

So...if said clause exists and when it kicks in Ed then negotiates a pay rise, it has nothing to do with Ed?

These sort of clauses are good sense, but for the superstar players next to pointless.

What we have to get a handle on, is not paying out ludicrous wages for mediocrity.
No one minds Messi's wages for instance, but when you have our guys who aren't pulling their weight earning best in league sums it's dreadful.

He's had a comparatively bad season but hes still a quality player who'd dramatically improve our right side going forward. The age is good as well. He's not a direct threat to dalots long term future like wan bissaka would be.

A good age? He's 28
I doubt its true anyway.

Should we be more concerned with threats to Dalots long term future or threats to Manchester Uniteds long term future? This type of mentality is nonsensical. We should aim for the best players no matter how old they are. Enough of this 'blocking the pathway for academy players' or young players like Dalot. The more competition there is the better players will play.

Yeah so he'd be first choice for two years after which Dalot could take over. Sounds good to me. Just don't really rate him.
I just think it would be a waste of money because after 2yrs you would still need to buy another RB to rotate with Dalot.
