Pretty sure we will extend DDG, maybe a longer term contract on lower salary. Henderson will be sold and Dubravka will go back to Newcastle. So new GK, DDG and Heaton for another season. The season after will be new GK, DDG and hopefully one of the youngsters.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Costa seems a good replacement, but is that Simon from Bilbao? I think he isn't good enough, if we are to replace DDG and when it comes to it, we need to buy an exceptional keeper. Everything else will not work out as our recent history shows.
Simon is from Athletic Bilbao.
Not for me. I'll return Dubravk and Sell Hendo. If De Gea continues to improve as he has so far, I'll take the year option and sign a budget friendly back up. Preferably on free like Yan Sommer. Have them compete for a year. This gives us time to focus on other area like CF, RB and CdM. If De Gea regresses, id just sell him and bring in two goal keepers. One premium and a back up.
Yeah striker has become the massive hole in our first XI that CDM was until Case filled it
we still need another one, a ball carrier, playmaker type. Of course P1 is CF.
Oh yeah definitely still lacking a playmaker
Absolutely not worth renewing him on the same wages. If there's an extension it should be on lower wages.

- Since Porto qualified to the knockout rounds of the CL, his price is likely to be the release clause amount of €60m.
- United want to keep on top of the competition, hence why they asked Mendes to inform them of any offers from other clubs.

All over the media today that Barcelona are after him and mendes is pushing the move. Would be our luck that he fecks off for free or peanuts when he gets good.
Don’t we have an option to extend his deal to 2024?
We do.

Out of curiosity, where are the Mendes mentions coming from? I've not seen any of those from any of the more reliable sources.
EDIT: Found it; it's all coming from one Mundo Deportivo newspaper report from yesterday, and that, too, from one of their less reliable journalists. I wouldn't worry about it too much until someone more reliable brings this up.

- The four players up for sale: João Félix, Thomas Lemar, Yannick Carrasco, and Rodrigo de Paul
- Atletico Madrid want to Félix + one of the other three
- Félix no longer wants to play under Simeone, and Simeone doesn't want to play Félix.
- Atletico Madrid are looking for the following new players:
- Centre back
- Midfielder
- Right back (if available)
- Since they missed out on the CL knockout rounds, they need to sell to balance the books and strengthen the team in the winter transfer market.

I'd be delighted if Rashford carried on his current form, but I think we should activate the clause and see if it continues into next year, before committing to a long term deal on huge wages.
We've had our fingers burnt far too often in cases like this. Now Woodwoodwoodwood has left, we shouldn't be rushing into contract renewals after a few weeks of decent form, anymore.
His wages he’s on now match his current form. His new contract should have had him going upto £200-250k but it’s now more likely to be £300k+
The club really need to get there wage structure under control.
Trigger that extension & you’re telling the player you have no real faith in him. Say we trigger it, when in his last year do you begin to negotiate?
I thought people would have learnt from real life examples like Herrera, Pogba & Lingard but it appears Caf members still live in a Football Manager simulation.
You either sell or extend.
He's one of the top earners in the league, but he isn't one of the top performers even now. We're never going to get our wage structure under control when fans keep advocating handing out new contracts to players who aren't worth the money. We're going to need to make some tough decisions to get wages back down to a level reflecting the level we're at.

Hasn't Sesko already signed a deal to join RB Leipzig next summer?
Get them both
Yes but Leipzig are allegedly open to offers
He has, but there's been suggestions that Leipzig may sell if a good offer is made.
Sums you wanting to trigger contract extensions up perfectly. Clueless.
How did it go with Herrera, Lingard & Pogba Eh?

wtf are you on about?
You want to throw £300K at Rashford because he's had a month of decent form, like Woodwoodwoodwood used to do, and then regret it because we've got a player who only has a couple of months of decent form every 2 years? Don't you think it would be better to extend his contract and start discussing a new contract in the spring, when he's shown that he is back to his best.
Or are you actually Woodwoodwoodwood posting nonsense on the Cafe?
We're better off without all the players you mentioned anyway.
I agree with you, and it's what Ten Hag wants to do anyway (not negotiating new contracts now), because:-
1- He is prioritizing team development (style of play plus performances) and doesn't want contract negotiations to distract from that.
2- the important players on the final year of their contracts (DDG, Rashford, Shaw & Fred) have 1 year extensions as a club option so no risk of losing them on a free next summer.
All sass, no comprehension. Who wants Rashford on £300k?
We’re at the point where you either sell Rashford, to you know make money or we negotiate a new contract. I agree we’re better off without the players mentioned, they are however prime examples of why your idiotic Football Manager approach to contracts doesn’t work. Tell you what would have been better than activating the extra year in their contracts for them to leave on a free? Selling them to fund other transfers.
I’m not going to get into a debate of Rashford’s form, it’s clear what side of the fence you fall on but the extra few games between now & spring are going to tell us very little about his actual ability if it’s only ‘a couple of decent months form every 2 years’ anyway. By all means argue we should extend the contract to sell him but for someone you clearly don’t rate why the hell would you want to negotiate in the Spring anyway.
You [& in fairness others] have been provided multiple examples of players people didn’t rate having their contract extensions triggered only to bite us on the arse & you still can’t see past your own keyboards.
Who is going to buy Rashford now? Nobody is going to pay more than 10 millions for a player they can bring for free in the summer. And we are not in the position to sell him now anyway.
You’re preaching to the converted.

You seem confused. If you want us to sell Rashford for a fee then we should trigger his extension and sell in January or summer 2023.
If we want Rashford to stay then we should trigger his extension and tell him to show he deserves a longer contract which would get done in the summer. If he does earn a new deal you still have time to negotiate that renewal. You just have to set a deadline of say June and if it’s not done then he’ll be sold.
Either way the minimum we should do is trigger the extension.
I'm completely okay with Choupo-Mating renewing his contract with Bayern.
Choupo-Mating have failed once in the Premier League, and he would fail again.
Staying at BM...thank feck for that!
