[Keeps It tidy]

I doubt it, United do not need the money and that much upheaval in one window might not be a good thing.

 

[sglowrider]

If they have already been labels as 'flops' how do we expect to raise that much?

 

[Gopher Brown]

Flop Jones, Matteo Darmi-flop, Mem-flop Depay, Marouane Floplaini, Morgan Schneider-flop.

 

[aelharras]

Fellaini isn't a flop in my book.

 

[Sarni]

Quite remarkable that Darmian, Schneiderlin and Depay were signed a year ago in what looked like one of the best transfer windows we'd ever had. Schneiderlin in particular seemed exactly the sort of transfer we should have made.

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

Where's the benefit of selling that many squaddie mid season?

We can afford their wages for another 6 months.

 

[Successful]

So basically he inherited €100m from Van Gaal. That's another thing for the legacy /foundations thread.

 

[sullydnl]

We'd be doing alright to get 100m there.

 

[marukomu]

Fellaini isn't a flop in my book.

What's the name of the book?

 

[WalkerTheRed]

Article makes it sound like we're in dire straits, what a load of bs. Besides, we can't shift out six players without adding some new ones. The PL squad isn't exactly huge as it is.

 

[prath92]

Kevin Palmer? known BS journo

[Woodzy]

Fellaini isn't a flop in my book.

Fellaini is a useful player while we don't have other options, but as soon as we get some (proper) players in that midfield his time here should be done.

Fortunately for him, we've sent the last 6 years buying shit midfielders so he should be pretty safe.

 

[Successful]

Honest valuation of the players?

Jones €9m
Rojo €7m (due to wages)
Fellaini €18-22m
Darmian €9m
Schneiderlin €16m
Depay €18m
Total aprox: €75-80m

 

[prath92]

Valuation

Jones - 10m. Has lot of potential and is still youngish. But injury will mean he wont go for a lot.

Darmian - 10m. Still in his prime and Inter reportedly have money. International so will get a decent fee.

Schneiderlin - 18m. Still in his prime and Everton have money. French International and a Koeman favourite.

Fellaini - 12m. Has only a year left in his contract this summer. Not a flop but unless we are renewing his contract, he would be sold. He will easily garner interest from the big leagues (Palmer reckons he will have to goto lower leagues in the article). Could well see a team like Palace or WBA invest in him.

Rojo - 7m. Decent defender for a lower league side and an Argentine International. A lower team would get him to be useful. Especially when guys like James Tomkins gets 12m.

Depay - 15m. Still young and could be very good in a team that is focussed on him. With the money involved in the PL wouldnt be surprised to get this value

 

[Ish]

Everyone seems to be forgetting Rooney to China for 50m euro

 

[jetlee]

Fellaini is a useful player while we don't have other options, but as soon as we get some (proper) players in that midfield his time here should be done.

Fortunately for him, we've sent the last 6 years buying shit midfielders so he should be pretty safe.

Of course a guy who is written down after every summer window when the latest caf favourites join in MF, yet finds himself in the starting XI sooner or later is never a flop.
Everyone should forget attaching him to Moyes' reigm and maybe it would be easier to judge him objectively.

 

[Adisa]

I can't see us selling that many.

How to make 100m in six simple steps

 

[2 man midfield]

Jones - £5-6m
Darmian - £8m
Depay - £15m
Fellaini - £8m
Rojo - £6m
Schneiderlin - £15-20m

Would prefer to keep Memphis and Schneiderlin, the rest I wouldn't lose any sleep over.

 

[NYAS]

Also sell Young, Valencia, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Schweinsteiger and Carrick because they're too old, Mata because he's not up to it physically, Mkhitaryan because we never succeed with no. 10s, Romero because he's a back-up goalkeeper and no Argentine has ever done well for us have they? Also sell Pogba, he was never worth even a quarter of that £150m we paid for him.

Was always one of the irritating things on here. People love to think of it as a video game and because someone isn't an automatic starter they're always on the transfer list and we should always consider bids for them, as if we're Bristol City financially. Then when we're left with Sean Goss and Sadiq El-Fitouri to come in for injured players (whoever the feck we didn't sell yet), it'll be "wow, we are depressingly shit" and "oh god whoever signed this guy must have taken a bung".

I promise you, there's nothing wrong with having more than 11 senior players in the squad. They're called back-ups, and believe it or not a lot of them are accepting of it.

Rant over.

 

[bcubed]

The only way you would make 100m by selling those six would be to "throw in" the naming rights for OT.

 

[M Bison]

I still dont think we should accept defeat on Morgan yet, there's a decent player in there somewhere. I also remain hopeful Jones and Depay will come good, although the hope is on the wane.

The only ones i would definitely sell would be Fellaini and Rojo, maybe Darmian, the rest have talent, it just needs locating.

 

[Rory 7]

We won't get the 100m back for Pogba

 

[::sonny::]

Honest valuation of the players?

Jones €9m
Rojo €7m (due to wages)
Fellaini €18-22m
Darmian €9m
Schneiderlin €16m
Depay €18m
Total aprox: €75-80m

Jones €3m
Rojo €15m
Fellaini €15m
Darmian €15m
Schneiderlin €20m
Depay €25m
= 93

 

[Lurpak99]

Jones €3m
Rojo €15m
Fellaini €15m
Darmian €15m
Schneiderlin €20m
Depay €25m
= 93

We'll get more for Jones but less for the rest.

 

[Adam-Utd]

No chance we sell anybody in January, unless we are knocked out of Europa early.

 

[Sarni]

We'll get more for Jones but less for the rest.

We will easily get €15m or more for Fellaini under current climate. Darmian will be a bargain signing for Inter though, I feel, not more than €10m. Schneiderlin's value will not be very high if he goes outside of Premier League but might fetch £15m or more within the league. IMO it's important that we try to offload all the deadwood within the country as Premier League clubs are more prone to spending obscene amounts of money on average players. If we're selling to Italy they won't go for much.

 

[Rake]

Even if we wanted to sell them it is plain stupid to do it in the middle of the season... Click baiting again

 

[soapythecat]

I'd keep them all and get rid of Rooney. No doubt the club will have to pay some of his outrageous wages but I'd rather the other players stay and fight for a place. Jones should just be released and let him try again. I don't see him ever being a player who can offer a team anything with his injuries.

 

[Raw]

With how poorly we sell players we'll probably only make like 60m. Remember when we sold Nani and RVP for £8m?

 

[settembrini]

I'd love to see Mourinho have a big clear out.

 

[devil in me]

As much as the squad is in need of a clearout from the rubbish that has been brought in over the past few seasons, i cant see us getting rid of 6 in one go, especially in January. A totally made up article!

 

[evil_geko]

Fellaini isn't a flop in my book.

He isn't a flop, he just isn't good enough for Manchester United.

He would have to have some football skills first to be able to flop.

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Jones €3m
Rojo €15m
Fellaini €15m
Darmian €15m
Schneiderlin €20m
Depay €25m
= 93

Jones €4m
Rojo €8m
Fellaini €10m
Darmian €10m
Schneiderlin €12m
Depay €12m
= €56m is more like reality, it's not worth they are worth but what someone will pay

 

[dwd]

Kevin Palmer? Okay.

 

[ivaldo]

We could also get 40mil for Martial, doesn't mean it's going to happen though.

 

[Ramshock]

Fellaini isn't a flop in my book.

He isnt but is largely detested, unfairly, by the fan base. I dont see him leaving until the summer though in fact this whole story is bullshit, who kicks out 6 players in mid season?

 

[pascell]

Can't see us selling two CMs in one window, just wouldn't make sense.

I think Rojo will stay as backup so I'm guessing Memphis, Darmian and Schneiderlin would be most likely to leave.
