That's 10million more than I thought we'd get. Thought we'd lose this guy for nothing.

£4m for Telles, will take. Can they do £4-5m for Bailly too :lol:

Hope so.

Curious as to the add ons for Telles and how easy they are to achieve. If the 10M mentioned earlier is with the add ons then I am praying for him to be Saudi League player of the year.
Was it ever written 10m? I think someone just threw 10m as a fee that would be nice to get and everyone assumed it was 10m :lol:

It was a minor miracle we got anything for him. He gave mediocre a bad name.

If Ziyech was going for £8m and Brozovic was sold for £15m what did we think Telles would be sold for?

It was Alex Crook on Talksport, no idea how reliable he is or whether he has any sources for the Saudi League.
If it's just him then it's bollocks. Romano said 4m and I'll run with that. Add-ons can be anything and can come at windfalls at any time

Some players have next to no value. Telles. Baily. Williams. van Beek. Martial. Just trash who we should be thankful to offload and remove their wages. Any transfer fee is a bonus

4m plus add ons for our 4th choice left back is fine.

Wages saved and we don’t take an FPP hjt on it. Utterly forgettable player that’s sole achievement at United was spooking Luke Shaw into raising his levels.

If only it was so simple, for some we’re still carrying proportions of their transfer fees on the books and we need to recover that or we take a FPP hit. (At least this is my understanding of how it works)

thankfully these should be gone as well. Martial will be here till his contract is done.

People are freaking out about this and saying we are so bad a selling etc etc, 4 mill for a player one year left on his contract, past his best, load of wages recovered and not to mention other clubs wanted to get him on a free. Yeah I think I’m happy with this. Donny and Fred will go for way more, possibly Maguire also, relax people.

Out of the deadwood, only Maguire, vdB and Sancho (if he counts) still have amortization cost. Bailly, Martial, anyone who's been here longer than their original contract could go on a free and it wouldn't negatively affect our books is my understanding.

Look, it's Rashfords pay rise covered, and £4m into the transfer kitty whilst ridding ourselves of one of the most pointless sigings in recent history.

Great deal. Now for the other 10 or so players that need to go...
Although, at this rate, I can only see 3-4 more leaving.

Nah, they’ve all just returned from holiday and we’ve had Telles gone, Maguire stripped of captaincy, Rashford signed, Fred on his way and some others making early moves. All things considered it seems they’ve been waiting to see if they’re in the managers plans and now they’re off.
