We also don’t have to. He is not someone you can’t miss out on.
If the manger wants a player, get him. Pretty simple, really. It's not as if we are a little club. Again I ask, if Arsenal can go out and get their targets, why can't we? It almost cost us last season
that's part of my point - get the bloody deal done!
I saw this on Twitter. Rather odd Man Utd want to have a sit down during the busiest part of the transfer window to just cross their arms and say we will not budge.
It's about how much you want the player apparently, surely if you really wanted him you should have offered him more? Or did you have a limit you were willing to pay him and stuck to it?What my post got to do with ugarte and Chelsea. Ugarte didn't say I wanted to play for Chelsea only. And PSG offered him more wages than us and player chose them over Chelsea. Lack of awareness on your part comparing ugarte and mount situation.
It's about manutd and how they could be perceived if they do not want to spend 5mn more and let the player in no man's land who clearly wanted to play for united and manager s first choice player.
It the English media is to be believed, Poch was consulted after PSG offered him their huge wage and Poch said don’t offer anything crazy, it effects the squad harmony offering one player massive wages coming in.
How have they treated him? In fact it's the other way around. He has been at Chelsea all his life, he got there at 4 years old. And now rejecting their contract offers, not only with this new ownership, but abramovic regime too. Hell bent on joining their rivals. If a united player behaves like that, I'd be pissed.
That's what I read as well, I'm just pointing out to this poster how you took a similar position with a player that we're taking with a transfer fee. They're both reasonable positions and don't make either of us "not serious".
Because that's how I feel about chelsea if they failed to sign the player for 5 mn difference who openly said wanted to join us and also manager s first choice. Most players and agents too.
Well if you feel that way, that settles it. Doubt it.
Which is my point, we are and it looks like our hands are toed somewhat
Completely agree.
It’s Chelsea who wants a sit down, not United.
Terrible strategy to blindly buy anyone the manager wants. Not a single well run club does this.
Have you been following the news? We have FFP issues it's pretty simple really.
This!
Nope, United will wait. Chelsea shenanigans are not going to work.
My only point is, that it is right of them.
Because he has only one year left in his contract, it improves our bargaining power, but it does very little to his valuation. Those two entities sound similar, but are not. Valuation is complex. To add, what if Mount signs a contract extension tomorrow and is then offered to United? Suddenly, is it then reasonable for them to demand 80m?
Age is a massive factor.
Lisandro Martinez and Mudryk have been great signings for Arsenal.
If no clubs are paying it now, why would they pay it when we decide to sell him? He would need to be amazing for us to command 60m+ in a few years. We don't sell to domestic rivals either so I can't see us getting this money back. Like Antony this is a big show of faith to ETH and really gotta hope it works out.
They also got Caicedo in January.
DDG did this but a load of people are now hurt we don’t want to give him big wages.
Age shouldn't be an extra 30m factor for a guy who can leave on a free next season
You have a good point.
If Chelsea are willing to gamble losing him for free that is their prerogative. He is their asset and can demand what they want regardless of how we feel about the valuation as fans.
Got Rice sorted nice and early too with no rival bids getting in the way.
Edu didn't get his A targets, but Zinchenko, Jorginho and Trossard did quite well. Mudryk and Caicedo of course are much younger and would probably be better buy down the road, but it is what it is.
In cricket, there's a thing called cowboy cricket. It's considered a gentleman's game but then you face teams who rock up thinking they know how to play and can coach and do tactics and just go with vibes. No real technical knowledge or experience but think they're the bees knees. This is your advice in a nutshell.
