Yeah, but he’s no Ramsey. Wages is obviously correlated to player quality as well (or should be)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Even if this was the case (which it isn’t) you’ve just completely contradicted yourself. It’s hard to take your comments on Pogba seriously to be honest. There always seems to be an element of bias to your posts on him.
Same here, thought we'd be paying Sanchez kind of money but this would put him somewhere in the middle of our squad which for a player coming for a free from PSG with CL experience isn't staggering at all.
This is staggering? Seems fairly standard to me for a free agent.
Is it possible to stop talking about Pogba and his worth in this thread?
£170k a week for Rabiot sounds about right.
If that’s true that would be a great deal imo.
Gues Lukaku stays then.
12mil euros for an Italian international fullback is overvaluing?
In this current market you can't even get 17-18 year old kids with that. If anything inter are being cheap cnuts as usual. Basically the whole serie a
£170k is perfectly reasonable for a player of his quality and age. He’s got his issues but if he came here, you’d see that he’s light years ahead of the likes of McT, Fred and even Herrera. That’s not to say he’s exceptional (just comparing him to what we have) but he does have the potential to be exceptional.
Think it’s smart to give him an initial upfront payment too, always wondered why we didn’t do that with Sanchez and keep his wages lower - would have upset the Apple cart far less.

Overvaluing him? €12m doesn’t get you a decent championship player these days. We’ll pay more than that for James.
Where did I contradict myself? His brand value makes clubs more likely to pay over the odds - but Real are in time of a rebuild and would rather spend those amounts where they will get that sort of value on the pitch first and foremost.
The only bias that exists is from the posters who dislike the concept that others might not rate Pogba as highly as they do. It's evident they get shaken up by any sort of criticism of him.
It's not a lot, especially for free transfer.
170K is around 4.5 million net wages, Bakayoko is paid 3.5 million.
Perisic - 4 million
Nainngolan - 4.5 million
Miranda - 3.5 million
De Vrij - 3.8 million
Keita who barely plays is paid 3 million
Candreva - 3 million
Douglas Costa - 6 million
Bonucci - 5.5 million
Emra Can = 5 million
Khedira - 4 million
Matuidi - 4 million
Cuadrado - 4 million
Chesney - 4 million
Donnarumma - 6 million
Bakayoko - 3.5 million
Biglia - 3.5 million
Reina - 3 million
Pastore - 3.5 million
Nzonzi - 3.1 million
All these players are paid good money and most of them are around same quality as Rabiot. He will easily get 170K per week in any league.
With Lukaku's goal scoring record,for club and country,there should hopefully always be suitors/interest.
Personally speaking it was always going to be difficult for Inter,or any Italian team for that matter,to offer what we want interms of fee.
Yes they're tight but they're also not rolling in the money as the majority of the PL clubs are.
This isn't 80's/90's Serie A anymore.
If we're going to get a good fee for Lukaku it'll likely come from this land.
Yeah, I don't understand why people care about the bids. No club will bid for a player if he isn't available. Also not every bid made is known to media.
Yes because we currently have a squad that are being paid like they're the premier league and champions league winners
We're 6th.
We need to cut the fat not add to it.
Individually its not that bad, but for our situation its bad
If rabiot doesn't work out and we sell him in a year or two his wages will have been covered. We need to get a grip on our wage structure if guys like rashford think they deserve 200 a week. Best way to do that is get rid of sanchez
Hang on..let's see if we actually get rabiot first.
To be honest I read staggering wage and was worried we were going to be offering him like 250-300k a week or something. 170k isn’t really that bad.
The Mirrors going to Mirror I guess.
"Sensible wage offer" doesn't really work when you're trying to get as many clicks as possible.
I not sure if I would go out in a limb and say he's the better player. Herrera was fantastic for us. Rabiot however is oh 24 so in theory it would be a better investment for us to give him 170k a week on a 4 +1 than to offer Herrera high wages and have zero resale value. I can understand the economics in the "swap "
We did give Sanchez a big lump sum. He pocketed something stupid like 20mil +
Ehhhhh, he was OK.
Just our standards are so low that he looked very good... He was excellent in terms of pocketing a player but didn't excel in much outside of that.
No to all of them.
For the 3rd year in a row it seems the only people in world football who value Darmian at more than £5-6M are the people in charge of transfers at Man Utd. You'd think after the first year or two the penny would drop.
This has been going on for two years now costing the club £5-10m in transfer fees and £6-7m in wages, so around £11-17m down the drain.
In his 4 years at United he's been largely awful and he's barely played for 2 years, why would anyone want to pay decent money for him. And to think there were loons on here 2 years ago who thought we could get £20-25m for him.
This. Defensively very sound, but a big reason as to why we lack creativity. Very safe and limited on the ball.
Not sure about the origins. Mirror quote Le10 Sport, but Le10 Sport quotes something called Soccer Link (whatever that is).

Very happy if we move for Rabiot. Only concern is his lack of game time, but it’s preseason now and that’s hardly a problem in actuality.
I think it’s total nonsense. He’s got a bit of chequered past and given all the emphasis on signing the right characters, this guy I would imagine is fairly close to bottom of the list.
ParisUnited retweeted that.
- Manutd offered him 10 million euros, which is 8.86 million pounds = 170K per wee.
Love it
That's not that staggering, considering earlier reports of the 10m sign on fee and wages upwards of 250k.
Has all the tools to be great, and for all the talk of his attitude perhaps the change of scenery is what he needs.
i think herrera was very good, more than just ok. Rabiot isnt a world beater. I can easily use your logic and say our standards are so low rabiot looks amazing to everyone
Can we ban "mirror"?

You can indeed use my logic but I wouldn't be able to agree re: Rabiot as I never seen him play.
Imagine he signed for Everton
Would be peak if Everton beat us to his signature.
