Shouldn't sign a contract then. He earns 10s of millions from us, I have no sympathy for his pathetic whining.He’s 34 man he’s done what he has had to do in the game..

Pure speculation but this very scenario could be why Elanga is staying, to provide more offensive alterantives when we do inevitably go short.If he is out and Greenwood is unavailable we could maybe try Bruno as a false 9 or if Martial somehow sorts himself out he would be a backup option. We will also have Rashford available again at some point. Its hardly doom and gloom.
YepI genuinely feel 'Anto' was the plan, hence Ole testing it on Sunday. We are in big trouble if that is to be the case.
Yeah the poor planning behind keeping him and not going for Ronaldo is not just a joke but frankly heartbreaking, you can just see an absolute horrific situation after the international break when he's stuck in quarantine whilst you know who bangs them in across the city. Didn't the club consider this at all when he wanted to go home but Ole persuade him to stay another seasonBloody crazy. If he misses his family that much then we should have just allowed him to go back to South America and went for Ronaldo instead.
I can understand him missing the first 2-4 games but to not see him till at least November is just absolutely baffling to say the least. We are literally relying so heavily on Mason Greenwood now.
That's painful to think about I'd honestly rather let elanga start over martial.Because our backup is Bald Martial
He literally wanted to leave the club remember his dad said he doesn't feel settled in England and he wants to move closer to home.Glazers didn’t want to spend the real money on an actual striker just cover the cracks over with an ageing one until we get to a point you can’t fool the fans anymore..
He was good for us which is why it's so annoying, surely when we were negotiating his extension this would've been brought up? Otherwise just don't renew him and allocate some funds to sign a striker.It all comes from one tweet? Which only says Uruguay is insistent he will play all the games. I bet compromise of some sort will be made and he won't miss so many games. Let's not rewrite history and treat him as some no proper player or act like he was horrible for us.
Yep, sure he was looking to retire and everything ffs, anything they can do to get away from properly investing. We’re going into the season pinning our hope on a 34 year old striker that doesn’t particularly want to be here it’s scandalous..He literally wanted to leave the club remember his dad said he doesn't feel settled in England and he wants to move closer to home.
So what do we do? Give him an extension. Glazers would rather offer money keeping an unhappy player rather than go out and buy a proper one. They're such leeches on our club.
Issue is he didn't want to renew (which was well documented) but we kept trying and he came around. We shouldn't be surprised the issue of him being homesick didn't disappear overnight. Ourselves to blame.He was good for us which is why it's so annoying, surely when we were negotiating his extension this would've been brought up? Otherwise just don't renew him and allocate some funds to sign a striker.
As I said all the panic from one tweet. Are all those internationals qualifying games? If some of those are friendlies no point in playing those.He was good for us which is why it's so annoying, surely when we were negotiating his extension this would've been brought up? Otherwise just don't renew him and allocate some funds to sign a striker.
Yeah but then not again until around a month at least by the looks of itIs he available for Wolves?
How on earth would we anticipate the new covid quarantine rules? That's what's making this difficult, not the fact that he's getting called up for some FIFA fixtures which is perfectly normal.He was good for us which is why it's so annoying, surely when we were negotiating his extension this would've been brought up? Otherwise just don't renew him and allocate some funds to sign a striker.
Yeah IF our leeches had any guts he would be following his toy story puppet uni mate out of the door in December tooI don't blame him but blame Matt Judge instead. Ridiculous.
SURELY this has got to be discussed when renewing for this year????
If he wants to spend most of his time in Uruguay we had to let him go home and find another striker.
Yeh, this. If he'd rather play for Uruguay than United then surely it's best for both parties for us to terminate the contract and go our separate ways. Does seem like he was gently coerced into resigning for an additional year anyway, so he might want to call it a day now. Basically, go and get CR7 back here nowShouldn't sign a contract then. He earns 10s of millions from us, I have no sympathy for his pathetic whining.
And we’re going to get a Dan James contract extension.So we need a 9, a 6 and a RB now ?
Yeah we love a bad contract extension so don't be surprisedAnd we’re going to get a Dan James contract extension.
What kinda wage we reckon? Williams got 65k, Jones got about 100k, I reckon Danny boy is good for 120k a week.Yeah we love a bad contract extension so don't be surprised
Yeah knowing how stupid we are that's probably a decent shout and some fans wonder why we are unable to sell playersWhat kinda wage we reckon? Williams got 65k, Jones got about 100k, I reckon Danny boy is good for 120k a week.
Playing internationals in the current climate is one of the most brain dead things FIFA can be doing. Can't someone fecking get a grip of this madness?Tweet

It gets worse. He may barely play this season if the rules stay as they are. Madness.
No.Are his wife and kid living back in Uruguay?
Oh well, Ronaldo will score at least 83 goals in these games, we'll be fine.So if restrictions stay the same he will potentially miss the following games.
September
Newcastle (home)
West Ham (home)
West Ham - Carabao Cup (home)
Aston Villa (home)
Champions League Matchday 1
October
Leicester (home)
Liverpool (home)
Tottenham (away)
Champions League Matchday 3
November
Watford (away)
Chelsea (away)
Champions League Matchday 5
January / February
Burnley (away)
FA Cup 4th Round
March
Leicester (away)
Everton (home)
Champions League Quarter Final 1st Leg
Combined with the 2 games he has already missed you're looking at a potential 19 missed games this season.
Not only would I be happy to, signing Ronaldo would only make sense if we were going to.If we sign Ronaldo (LOL) or another striker, I'd be happy to release him from his contract. He's been very honest he wants to go home, and really, we should let him go home.
No but if he insists on playing every match for Uruguay, he is likely to miss about half the season. He may as well just stay in Uruguay.I've missed all the Cavini stuff.
Is he says he doesn't want to play for us anymore?

All you both ever do is moanYeah knowing how stupid we are that's probably a decent shout and some fans wonder why we are unable to sell players
Uruguay have games in September, October, November, late January, February, March. We barely convinced him to stay, and he probably wouldn't have if the current restrictions were in place. Probably a chance we just mutually agree for him to go if we get Ronaldo.I've missed all the Cavini stuff.
