We should be selling Lindelof really if Dayot is coming. He won't be coming here for rotation if he moves here and central defenders are seldom rotated. Just ask Maguire
Dayot Upamecano | Signs for Bayern
- Thread starter Raven
- Start date

This deal doesn't make any sense. There was a release clause which was active until July. Then he signed a new contract with new release clause coming into effect the next summer?
Why would we go him for him now rather than two months before?

I'd probably keep one or two of them back to be honest.
How is Dayot's injury record though?
If we had any interest in getting him this summer, we'd have made a move while he still had a £54m buyout clause.
That clause expired on 1 August and he has since signed a new deal. There's no way he's leaving before next year.

I would be really happy with 2 of them
Ed was misheard at Manchester Airport Duty Free. He actually said 'I bought a box of Meccano'
Yeah me too but only if one of them in JadON Sancho.
Don't you remember the Fellaini deal?!
The dream CB signing, but we should've jumped on it while his clause was active. Still might be possible to do a deal, but next summer he'll leave somewhere for £42m so we have to make it worth it this summer (my guess is around £60m?). More than earlier clause, but worth it for them to sell before next summer. Or worst case agree a deal before next summer for a bit more and he stays there for the season so we lock him in, as I doubt we'd be first choice for him next summer.
No seriously, look at the first page, barely anyone had a fecking clue who he wasYeah, Upamecano has had some UCL appearances, but Bailey played in the harder league. Net net I don't think its too dissimilar. I do recall was quite a big hype about him at the time. At least that's how I remembered it. Would obviously love Upamecano to be the real deal though - and he probably is.

Seems like wishful thinking from the club. Smalling is wanted, although not at the price we want. As for the others..where's the interest?
Upamecano would be quality but maybe we should have moved before he extended his contract.
This would be the stuff of dreams. A lot of reports linking us strongly with him now.
His release clause of 42m euros isn’t active till next summer. But there’s a belief a deal can be done this summer. An offer in the region of 50m euro I reckon will be agreeable.

Out of all our CBs you think we should be selling Lindelof. Hahaha
His career record is not good. But his recent record is OK. Missed the start of last season injured, but OK since 16 September 2019. He's gone almost a year entirely uninjured.
Smalling to Roma is more or less done
Yes mate. I prefer Bailly and Axel ahead of him. But that's just my opinion. Lindelof looks like a deer in headlights whenever a ball floats or whips into our box
I had no idea who Bailly was when we signed him and I've barely wached upamecano, fact is most don't follow other leagues and player progress but are ashamed to admit.No seriously, look at the first page, barely anyone had a fecking clue who he was

Bailly... right... and the guy who cant stay fit Axel who has showed nothing
You don't like Bailly? Why?
Oh, you!
Always injured and always erratic.
He isnt good enough and should be sold
I think a deal less than £60m is definitely a possibility.
Leipzig aren’t a team who are expecting to challenge for honours. The release clause is a relatively low one which suggests he’s a player they aren’t going to fight tooth and nail to keep as he’s probably requested a reasonable release clause as he wants to progress at another club.
It would be amazing if we could get him this summer. He literally can go on to be one of the very best defenders in Europe. There will be a queue of clubs next summer happy to activate that clause.
Moyes want to sign them both to head up his new range of instructional videos. Jones as the main man, Rojo as his number 2 and Maldini as their boot boy.
Well that’s an incredibly better injury record than Phil Jones who hasn’t been able to string a run of games together in years!
€50/55 mill offer now or RB Leipzig risk losing him for less next summer.
VDB and Upamecano for under €100 mill. Recoup some of that by selling Smalling, Jones and Rojo and couple more and we could be looking ok to bring someone else in for RW. (Sancho hopefully)

Too good to be true
Probably quoting Espn.
Well he’s hardly going to admit David Moyes told him is he?
Rojo I reckon we can ship for next to nothing to Argentina, Jones I'm hoping a mug team like West Ham take him.
He's shown he's a good deal better than Bailly, while Axel hasn't shown he can be counted on due to his recent injury record.
People saying we should sell Lindelof in this thread it is not happening. Smalling is on his way out they are trying to sell Rojo and Jones is on his last legs. Victor will not be going anywhere.
I seem to recall us being linked to him as a youth player, we've definitely been tracking him for a very long time. We'll see if anything happens.

It didn't mean sense either. Anyway it's Edwood's things.
The previous release clause was 60 million euros, this one (that comes into effect next summer) is now 42 million euros. Therefore we could possibly reach a deal that cuts those two prices down the middle, for around 50 million euros.
That was cause of Moyes though, even he's since said in an interview.
Why are we assuming he doesn’t still have a current release clause?
Just because he extended his contract with a new clause that takes effect next summer, that doesn’t mean his existing one is no longer valid.
It could simply be a case of if you extend for a further season we’ll lower your clause from next year. Would it make sense for the player to have a release clause then negotiate it out of his contract?
I don’t know but everyone else seems to be speculating.
