Prefer wilf zaha tbh.
Does sell on clauses apply if the buying club is the team that has the sell on clause? We had a 40% sell on clause for Livramento for example, if we matched Newcastle’s offer of around £40M, would our final price have been around £26M?I'd imagine the £50m asking price is for other clubs as it factors in our sell on clause. Could perhaps be a bit cheaper for us to rebuy him.
I don’t believe so but someone with more knowledge can correct if wrong. What I meant by us getting him cheaper was Palace might have preferred selling to us for £40-45m instead of another club for £50m as a significant portion of that would’ve gone to us.Does sell on clauses apply if the buying club is the team that has the sell on clause?

Perhaps if we pay the full price we can get all of his body parts? IKEA styleOnly if he has a decent buy out clause. Solid, talented lad. But would cost an arm and a kidney. With a foot thrown in for good measure....
Yeah I guess that would be make sense if the sell on clause could not be activated by us being the buyer.I don’t believe so but someone with more knowledge can correct if wrong.

That's us out of the running then.Cracking player. Surely a top 6 club would take a punt next summer.

At that price no thanks
I'd have to agree, I think Guehi is a decent player, but not particularly exceptional, not in the same class as a player such as Kim.I always thought Tomori was the more talented one of the two of them a few years back and still believe that, we’d get stung for United tax then English tax and then Premier League player tax when Guehi is not better than Todibo or Pavard in my opinion.
Come on, Kim went for under 50m. There are better players or at least similar players for less. CB is probably one of the better stocked positions in the gameEvery player is now 50m, good ones 75m and top ones 100+.
England tax is 50% extra.Come on, Kim went for under 50m. There are better players or at least similar players for less. CB is probably one of the better stocked positions in the game
Kim was an unique situation. Kim had a very uncommon low release clause in his contract. Using Kim as an example to show that there are better and cheaper players doesnt make sense to me. Look at almost every other centre back that was bought by big clubs. Chelsea had to pay almost the same amount for unproven defenders from the French league than Bayern had to pay for the best defender in the Serie A. Look at what City had to pay for Gvardiol who was one of the best defenders in Germany.Come on, Kim went for under 50m. There are better players or at least similar players for less.

Great let’s buy him because he’s always fit. Guess who else is always fit? LindelofApart from his skills - there is one thing I really like about this guy
Over the last 3 seasons - he has played a total of 113 league games - so he has basically missed 9 games over 3 seasons - and for all I know, he might have been on the bench in some of the games he missed for Swansea in the Championship.So he basically is a Bruno (never misses a game)
May still be better than buying a world class player who is always injuredGreat let’s buy him because he’s always fit. Guess who else is always fit? Lindelof
Let’s buy players if they are any good not just because they don’t get injured much
Better again would not be buying average players - look for good players who will raise the levels of team and check their injury recordsMay still be better than buying a world class player who is always injured![]()

Ray Wilkins?Ex-Chelsea never works out for Man United.
The exception which proves the rule and you have to go back to the 70s for it.Ray Wilkins?
He's far from class. Never going to be the level required to win major trophies.AWB is a class defender
& £50M is the new £30M we need to move on from living in the past here. £30M is peanuts nowadays
Staying fit is incredibly important. Ferguson himself wrote in his biography that one of the first thing he looked at when checking out a player, was how many games they had missed over the last few seasons.Great let’s buy him because he’s always fit. Guess who else is always fit? Lindelof

Varane is our best defender when fit. Would i replace him? Sure. Would i replace him with Guehi? No. He’s not good enough.Staying fit is incredibly important.

Guehi is a good defender - I never said he was my first choice. But would I take Guehi over Varane ? As Varane never stays fit - sure.
