Yupp, Williams and Mengi same.They're under 21 so don't need to be officially included in the Premier squad.

Ole and his staff decide on whether Romero and Jones are in their plans for the season. If Romero wasn't in the plans, you'd have expected Ole to have told him already. However, with the Tweets that seem to be coming out of ESPN, it seems that they want to portray Ole as not having communicated this. More reliable sources, however, have latched onto how United have made it difficult for Romero to leave (especially after his wife posted that message on Instagram).Tweet

That's a little low brow honestly if true.
I do agree that Romero hasn't been treated in a respectful manner as of late when he's done nothing but be arguably the best deputy GK in the league since he's joined without complaints.
Blocking moves for him to good clubs over the last 2 years when we've had Henderson in our long term plans the whole time is a bit disappointing and I'd fully understand if he felt aggrieved
He's gone AWOL, the feck was he expecting?
No we didn’t sir. We paid £10m for Romero.Both the Romero and Jones situations have been screwed up massively by the club. I feel for Romero because he's been the definition of dependable and we got him on a free transfer.

Letting Smalling go was also pretty daft, could have done with him tonight with Maguire not travelling.Bloody hell, extending Jones's contract in 2019 has got to be the worst decision regarding contract extensions in our history.
Could’ve seen something like this coming a mile away.Letting Smalling go was also pretty daft, could have done with him tonight with Maguire not travelling.
If Smalling was still here there would be another player on the books left out of the squad.Letting Smalling go was also pretty daft, could have done with him tonight with Maguire not travelling.
Nope he was free and out of contract when we picked him up.No we didn’t sir. We paid £10m for Romero.
oh dear.No we didn’t sir. We paid £10m for Romero.
I don’t think it’s true at all. It’s not exactly a surprise is it, it’s 100% expected that he wasn’t to be included.Ole and his staff decide on whether Romero and Jones are in their plans for the season. If Romero wasn't in the plans, you'd have expected Ole to have told him already. However, with the Tweets that seem to be coming out of ESPN, it seems that they want to portray Ole as not having communicated this.

We knew that Ole wanted to keep Henderson in the team to compete against de Gea. That would have meant that Romero wasn't going to get a look into the team. You'd expect Ole to tell him that he has no place any more and that he'd have to look for new clubs. The onus would then fall on the higher-ups to allow him to leave, which they've made difficult. In my view, I think the higher-ups absolutely screwed up Romero's departure as they wanted more money. If we take that Tweet as the truth, though, then the blame falls on Ole for not making this clear to the higher-ups.
Well not sure about whole almost everyone part but went through first 5 pages and its already epic with few replies, fun stuff.https://www.redcafe.net/threads/phi...e-injury-interest-from-italy-athletic.444905/
Must have been an older one. His latest contract was ridiculed by almost everyone.
I was waiting for somebody to come at me with a 'yeah, feel sorry for being paid X thousand pounds' card and it took more than I'd thought it would. Obviously you're right in that sense, don't get me wrong, but using this logic you should never feel bad for any top-flight footballer for sporting reasons.Let us down? This is not some project at work with the biggest customer, it’s bloody football. The guy was signed as a reserve, a backup, you’re basically paid 50k a week to stay fit and sit in the stands. I feel the notion that he’s supposed to play in the cups and so forth, but again, he was signed as a backup. He is also paid enormous amounts of money for contributing little to the output, we don’t need to feel sad for Romero.
Only if we drop our ridiculous demands for £8mThe Argentine Primera Division will start their season next week therefore Romero (and hopefully Rojo) could move there.
Jones must leave the club in the next transfer window regardless how.
We got him on a free and were looking for £8m to let him go in the summer. Realistically we should have taken the £2m Everton offered for aYes, Jones should not have handed a new contract, but the Romero situation is screwed up how?
It feels like genuine sabotage.Jones has three years left and won't be able to move to clubs outside of the window. He'll be sitting tight with us not wanting to give him a pay off of three years. Giving him a new contract along with Rojo was one of the worst decisions in recent years.
Well... it is consistent with Bloopwad's past behavior. Petty and socially tone-deaf, trying to project 'authority' in all the wrong situations.
Woodward's like a 'poor' kid who grew up thinking rich kids all can make stupid mistakes because daddy will pay for them to go away and people won't remember plus he has a bunch of hangers-on that keep reassuring him not to worry, that people won't remember. Then when he gets rich he acts just like that. Trouble is even the vast majority of rich kids are taught that if you do something really weird, people remember FOR BLOODY EVER.I still can't believe the club gave Jones' a new contract last year. Even his agent wasn't expecting it.

My thoughts exactly. Just give the chap a free and wish him the best of luckSo we were demanding 8 mil. for a 33 years old GK who we did not even plan to inlcude in our list..This is just incompetence.
Yes. We're over the limit by 2 in the PL and by 3 for Champions League (Rojo, Jones, Romero were left out).Why leave out Jones? Do we have that many players? They are injured just like him.
Are they underage exemptions to the rules?Mason Greenwood and Fancudo Pellistri have been left out of the 25 man squad as well, does this mean anything or will they be included later on?
Why do people always have to turn nasty for no particular reason? It’s not the players fault - they both want to leave. It’s up to the board to get them out. No need for bitterness towards the players.While making 150k a week between them. Poor souls.
what’s the problem in not picking a player who is constantly injured, and unavailable for the first team?This will add to the United tax, whenever we try to sign a player. Player will try to protect their own interest.

The issue is unless this is proven to be discipline issue from the players part, it wouldn't look pretty for our club in future dealings for how we treat our players. Injury prone doesn't make you less professional. We have other injury prone players in the squad too. So what is the reason?
He's gone AWOL because Ole has phased him out. No respect for probably the best no 2 keeper in uniteds history.He's gone AWOL, the feck was he expecting?
how is he going to play? We might bring him back into the PL and CL squad on Jan if we move on a couple of other players.Suspect Jones will end up playing a fair few more matches for this club. We have to find a way to put him in the shop window
Leaving out of the squad is always seen as punishment. So what wrong did players do? Injury prone is bad luck. If club doesn't like it why does it extend the player contract last year? Did Phil Jones in this case, choose to be injury prone after the new contract, or it's known issue?what’s the problem in not picking a player who is constantly injured, and unavailable for the first team?
He's on a 3 year contract at somewhere in the region of £4-5m a year. Cant see anyone taking that kind of risk with him unless (a) we eat a significant chunk of his future earnings or (b) he plays some matches and plays okay.how is he going to play? We might bring him back into the PL and CL squad on Jan if we move on a couple of other players.
I assume he’s eligible for the League Cup or FA Cup, but I don’t see why we would play him at the expense of someone in the 25 man squad?
I think he’s done.
hopefully he gets fit, and can find a club in jan. he still has a good 3-4 years at a reasonable level potentially.
he’s been at United for over 9 years, we have too many players. Someone has to be left out and in terms of numbers (not quality), we are stacked at CB.Leaving out of the squad is always seen as punishment. So what wrong did players do? Injury prone is bad luck. If club doesn't like it why does it extend the player contract last year? Did Phil Jones in this case, choose to be injury prone after the new contract, or it's known issue?
So as a new player comes to the club, you may end up picking up injuries. Knowing this club has form about punishing player for being injury prone. You would ask for more money as insurance for your career just in case. New level of United tax.
