Of course it is. Because its a financial decision and not a footballing one. That will always be the case.http://www.insidefutbol.com/2019/04...thletic-bilbao-table-comparable-offer/418046/
Still not decided?
Can we hope?
I remember Mourinho being asked about Herrera's contract situation and he said, if it was up to him he would give players what they ask.
So he was saying the final decision was Woodward's and the boards.
That still doesn't warrant paying Herrera 200k a week. He's not at that levelTop players who dont try half as hard yeah
They can afford to pay him because they save a shitload of money by not paying a transfer fee for him. In an ideal market he's definitely worth 35-40 million so, they can pay him 5 million on top of his actual wage and still come out getting a good deal.Of course it is. Because its a financial decision and not a footballing one. That will always be the case.
If the reports of him wanting a four or even five year contract are true its a no-deal. He is 30 for fecks sake.. I just dont see PSG offering that either. Smells agent-briefing all over this. Too bad, good player and right attitude.
Well yes, agree, but I was talking about the length of the contract. To offer a 30-year old that long term of contract on that wage is weird even for PSG. But it might not be true either tbf.They can afford to pay him because they save a shitload of money by not paying a transfer fee for him.

He is 29 and will be for a good while yet. Not a big deal but no reason for inaccuracy just to make giving him a long deal look worse.Well yes, agree, but I was talking about the length of the contract.

He will be 30 at the start of next season though which is what is relevant IMO. But you are right in theory of course. He is 29 now.He is 29 and will be for a good while yet. Not a big deal but no reason for inaccuracy just to make giving him a long deal look worse.
If there is any truth to this then it’s probably the number of years we are offering him rather than the wage that’s led to him looking to leave.Tweet

I dont think we should pay him £200k neither do I expect him to be asking for it.That still doesn't warrant paying Herrera 200k a week. He's not at that level
Bollocks initEasy to replace apparently.
This. Some have either never liked or rated him, and nothing to the contrary will change their opinion about him.It really is incredible what little stock is given to what he does for us. No matter how often we see our team improve when he comes into the side, no matter the statistical evidence available to support it, there will be those that flatly deny it.

Yes, he is.Easy to replace apparently.
You what? He was our best player today. Probably won the ball back 10 or 12 timesYes, he is.
Time to stop playing moneyball.It really is incredible what little stock is given to what he does for us. No matter how often we see our team improve when he comes into the side, no matter the statistical evidence available to support it, there will be those that flatly deny it.
We’ve been trying to replace him for 2 seasons straight. 2 summers later and £90m lighter and we have Matic and Fred to show. Forgive me for not feeling too optimistic about him being replaced.Yes, he is.
Time to start watching football.Time to stop playing moneyball.
Matic was comfortably better.Time to start watching football.
He simply wasn'tMatic was comfortably better.
Herrera usually makes everyone around him better, we have so few players like this...and we are letting him go whilst extending the contracts of Young and Jones. Too bad Herrera isnt EnglishIt really is incredible what little stock is given to what he does for us.

He takes 10 seconds to set himself to play a pass. He struggles to get back too. Way past his expiry date.Matic was comfortably better.
Yes, because at 30 you're completely over the hill and be taken out back and shot?I know he’s going to be 30 next season but he’s still better than some of our other players
