Are you being serious?What if the salary is good will since their household would have lost their dad’s income and it’s mainly performance related? There are a number of reasons it could be what it is. There’s no way he’s just getting 67k a week base.
I'll rephrase. Money shouldnt be seen as a motivating factor.Yes, which was my concern initially. We shouldn't offer top wages for players that haven't earned them yet.
£200K a week in the Championship? I didn't know Swansea paid that much. He is on the same salary as Lukaku then.Are you being serious?
The guy was earning £200K a week in the Championship, he can probably already buy and sell his family.
Na, was just saying something a bit outlandish to show we don’t know the details of the contract or why it was offered.Are you being serious?

alright, £200K per year, sorry.£200K a week in the Championship? I didn't know Swansea paid that much. He is on the same salary as Lukaku then.
And if he doesn't make it, we have yet another overpaid shite player we cannot get rid of. We just seem to keep making the same mistakes. Hopefully the story is false and he is on a base of about 20-30k but it can get to 67k with performance related bonuses and appearances.You are buying potential. Speculate to accumulate. Absolutely nothing guaranteed but if he makes it then £18m and £67k per week is peanuts.
No one, including me and you, knows the answer yet.
The report didn't say he is on 67K base salary, it was including all the bonuses. They didn't report what was the base salary.And if he doesn't make it, we have yet another overpaid shite player we cannot get rid of. We just seem to keep making the same mistakes.

What's your view on James, if you don't mind me asking?He was (technically still is) on 4k per week with us.
Yeah, that was the plan. Player asked for 25K a week and just because we have more money, we said "feck it you will be paid 67K per week".4K a week player can accept 25K a week with a happy face so why we given him 60K plus for a week ?
This sounds so encouraging.Take care of him lads, he has shown some sparkle of quality I haven't seen in my team since that Michu season.
I know numbers don't necessarily prove that, but I've watched every game he played this season and he can make a difference even in the Prem.
Then you pay him the market rate Sherlock..... and if he does ‘make it’ ?
There's a viewpoint at the moment that every single thing Ed does must somehow be wrong.Why care about how much he's getting paid? Manchester United is not a sweatshop. You don't sign for the biggest club in the world and get chump change. It's the same everywhere, and for whichever profession you're in. The big private law firms wouldn't be big if they paid the juniors the same the other ones do. It's a matter of reputation and maintaining it. Beside, he's a kid playing a dangerous game. He could go out there, be at the end of a career-ending tackle and whoop-dee-doo.
And that we should run our club like Levy and stinge our way to glory. Forget about the inherent problems that brings with it.There's a viewpoint at the moment that every single thing Ed does must somehow be wrong.
Why else would people be quibbling over paying someone 67k at Manchester United. It's not like the club can't afford it.
Because any big players we bring in will then demand more money, if a guy from the championship gets 67k a week here imagine what top quality players would ask for. Sanchez has already fecked up our contract talks enough with the likes of De Gea.There's a viewpoint at the moment that every single thing Ed does must somehow be wrong.

What do you want? It's the nature of the beast. If you want the best, you pay the best. It's only fair. It does not mean it's an exact science but it makes sense.Because any big players we bring in will then demand more money, if a guy from the championship gets 67k a week here imagine what top quality players would ask for.

Big players won't see what a guy from championship is paid, they will see what highest earner is paid.Because any big players we bring in will then demand more money, if a guy from the championship gets 67k a week here imagine what top quality players would ask for.

I know, but De Gea would've signed a new contract by now if we hadn't bought Sanchez imo.What do you want? It's the nature of the beast. If you want the best, you pay the best. It's only fair. It does not mean it's an exact science but it makes sense.
True, most likely won't. Sanchez fecked us with wages regardless.Big players won't see what a guy from championship is paid, they will see what highest earner is paid.
Why can't we get rid of Darmian, Rojo, Sanchez, Jones, Lingard etc? Because they are all on too much money and no one is willing to pay their wages. To shift these players we have to sell them for literally nothing, and we are the only club regularly in this situation.There's a viewpoint at the moment that every single thing Ed does must somehow be wrong.

This is the part i don't get. People are moaning that they didn't offer Herrera at 29 years old a 5 year deal at over 200k a week, then there's other people saying we are paying this 21 year old with many more miles on the clock too much at 67k.Because any big players we bring in will then demand more money, if a guy from the championship gets 67k a week here imagine what top quality players would ask for. Sanchez has already fecked up our contract talks enough with the likes of De Gea.
We offer him 120k per week next year? It won't be an issue.... and if he does ‘make it’ ?
I'm in complete agreement on the above mentioned players. I think getting rid of them is vital if Ole is going to change the culture here. That said paying Dan James 10% of Sanchez's wage doesn't solve any of those problems. It just highlights the disparity.Why can't we get rid of Darmian, Rojo, Sanchez, Jones, Lingard etc? Because they are all on too much money and no one is willing to pay their wages. To shift these players we have to sell them for literally nothing, and we are the only club regularly in this situation.
The players are happy to stay at the club, earn their money and not perform. Just because they play for one of the biggest clubs in the world doesn't give them automatic right to earn huge salaries. They have to earn that right on the pitch and win trophies.
What message does that send to any player that comes here? They have already got the mega contract without doing anything. Even a club the size of United has a budget. And if we keep paying our shit players money this stops us offering wages to much better players.
Yeah it’s an absolutely bizarre point to make.Big players won't see what a guy from championship is paid, they will see what highest earner is paid.
