Any fee?
He gave his all to the medical treatment room, kept the physios in a job and people now can’t wait to get rid of him. Fecking modern fans and their toxic agendasNo respect for club legends anymore
Its got Arabic text so its 100% true, just like the Qatar deal tomorrow.

Another 80k-ish off the books. Would never have got much for him anyway.Wow - not even a fee!
He’s up thereHe is rarely mentioned when discussing our worst signings. Came for what was a high fee in 2016, hardly played since 2017, stealing a living and now leaving without a fee.
Probably some sort of incentive / add-on / sell-on clause, or maybe not, who knows.Not even a nominal 1m fee?
He's that injury prone/clumsy that we're lucky to be able to get rid of him at all.Probably some sort of incentive / add-on / sell-on clause, or maybe not, who knows.
I think we all just keep forgetting he’s even here. Every time I see his name mentioned I have an “oh yeah, that guy” response. He’s like the footballer version of The Game.He is rarely mentioned when discussing our worst signings. Came for what was a high fee in 2016, hardly played since 2017, stealing a living and now leaving without a fee.
Between 2016 and 2018, many people would convince themselves that if Mourinho picked a CB, it was the right decision. The man picked Bailly, Lindelof and Maguire, those players eventually cost the club close to 150m€, ignroing wages.He is rarely mentioned when discussing our worst signings.

Yeah, this is all true. Hard to push standards when you have lads like Bailly and Jones getting paid more than you and spend more time on the treatment table than on the training pitch (harsh given they can't help it but they've just been allowed to fester at United). We always look so toothless when the first team players are rotated so hopefully we can get to a stage where the squad players are fighting tooth and nail to get into the first team and the first teamers know they can't afford to drop standards.More wages shifted off the books. And another important message sent that there is no place for mediocrity at the club. Just from a purely psychological perspective it is important to shift out players like this. Jones, Tuanzebe, Bailly, all shifted off this summer. 250k a week off the wage bill for three players who’d not have contributed a minute worth of play between them.
Telles gone too. VDB to follow soon presumably. So important not to have these profile of non contributing players hanging around.
Players like Maguire, McTominay, Fred and Elanga are different. Very limited players but always gave their all and were always available. Should be sold for value. Which is what seems is happening. Need to see some resolution on the Henderson situation too.
There’s a ruthlessness to how we’ve gone about the clear out this summer, that is reminiscent of SAF. It’ll permeate through the squad and help raise standards across the board.
Assuming all or most of those sales happen. We’ll see Sancho and Martial on the chopping block next summer unless they have really good seasons this year.
He had 1 year left I believe, signed a 3 year deal in 2021 which was the definition of a Woodward extension as he was already clearly not part of the future even at that point. Glad to see his wages gone, looking forward to the YouTube clips of his next sending off.I think he had 2 years left on his contract. We literally threw him away.
Let's be honest who would be desperate enough to actually pay money for him?Wow - not even a fee!
That would surely bankrupt them.We should agree a free transfer with add ons based on amount of games not in the match day squad
Kind of shows how bad we’ve been that no one mentions him. Sanchez sits unassailable at the top of that list for me.He is rarely mentioned when discussing our worst signings. Came for what was a high fee in 2016, hardly played since 2017, stealing a living and now leaving without a fee.
