I had thought my post was fairly straight forward to understand given the post I replied to but apparently I was wrong
It's the excitement over him leaving, I'm seeing around the place, I was referring to. I replied to someone who said they can't wait til he's gone. That would suggest there is something to be excited about which I don't see. He goes and there's a space in the squad and a bit of a drop in the wage bill.
The excitement is linked to some decent moves by the club overall. Investing heavily in the academy and revamping our scouting, Calling out Pogba for his Dubai trips and not begging him to stay, letting Martial be Martial and not accepting his half arsed idea of what it takes to play at an elite level anymore, while the Cavani things is not ideal it does indicate that we won’t be looking for elder stop gap solutions anymore and following the RB mantra of buy young and actually developing players. Looking at the other comings and goings- the club are making the right noises.
Moving Jesse on falls into that type of category- it shows the club are casting off bit part players on big contracts restricting our youth players Opportunities to prove their worth. This will give more valuable minutes To Amad and Elanga and even Shoretire and possibly Hannibal. All about as talented as it gets at youth level and need to be given the same opportunity Jesse was 10 years ago. That is exciting. Not to mention more playing time for DVB who we still have no idea about really. It’s good business sense...get rid of dead wood quickly and give the next batch a shot.
Jesse is one of those players who you could tell was not Man Utd quality a long long time ago. Yet he has been kept, given decent wages and has essentially gotten more press for off field antics than his actual performances which is never good. (personal issues, acting the bollox and getting caught on video, starting a clothing line and releasing it the day of a big game for publicity, posting stupid videos etc.)
The same could have been said for the Mata situation...not bothered so much about the contracts but the minutes they might be getting is shocking when you consider the talent we have waiting in the wings. Judging by how Elanga is making moves in the first team and the experience Hannibal has gotten in the Arab Cup, We look like we might actually start improving what we have and bringing these guys through. That’s very exciting indeed.
