Off topic. Apparently Ozil has been left out of the Arsenal europa squad too. 350K per week for doing nothing! So glad of Inter taking Alexis off us
Romero, Jones and Rojo left out of the Champions League squad
- Thread starter Brophs
- Start date
I feel sorry for Jones. He even got injured in training for England because Smalling kicked him and had to pull out.
Why the feck was Jones offered a new 3 year contract last year?
Why does this club suck so much at times??!

This just shows terrible planning on the clubs part.
Love them or fecking hate them, that’s about £250k a week that can’t even be registered

Romero is probably heading to the MLS soon if he can find a club
Can still potentially offload Romero. He could go to a Championship side, and some countries still have transfer windows that are open.
Interest from MLS apparently. He’d obviously be in the squad if he was staying.
Phil Jones is the most pathetic player we own. At least Smalling pushed for a loan performed and got his move.
Jones clearly is delighted bro sit around doing nothing and getting paid.

Hasn’t Jones recently been given a new contract?
Why would Jones agree to that?
Ole tells the board who he does not want in the squad, the board then try to negotiate the players exit. Ole has been very good at identifying deadwood.
Even a blind dog could identify Jones and Rojo as deadwood. Romero is not in because he is leaving the club.
Should we praise someone just because they are able to walk?
I think we should pay him and Rojo off if we can't move them on before the 16th
Please do so
Don't think Ole had a say in it, seeing as he was still interim manager when the extension was done.
I imagine he probably still doesn't have much of a say. Think Matt Judge has authority on all that stuff.
Really happy about Jones and Rojo..this should push them and then later the likes of Lingard et al to seek a move on even with lower salary. Similar to Bale, ultimately there is only a limited period a professional can take this humiliation.
Atleast it shows these players are redundant and are not part of the future. Maybe it will motivate them to decide to move if there are takers.
The other two players that might need to be offloaded are Mata and or Lingaard.if not mistaken Mata has only one year left.

It is good. Their agents can't find them clubs because Woodward decided to pay them too much.
The stupidest kid in the class would blindfolded identify the deadwood here. It doesnt require any talent whatsoever.
I
I think at this point it is a pretty safe bet that the manager doesn't handle renewal of contracts.
He was caretaker boss at the time. I don't think it was anything to do with him whatsoever.
cheers folks
Theres other windows that are currently open, MLS and Portugal to name a couple.
I find it astonishing that the club hasn't treated him better however.
To have a career at another club
We are giving money to players for nothing. At the same time we don't have enough money for Sancho. Good job board!
They would have been injured anyway.
There's absolutely no need for that type of attitude. Do you think Jones likes being perpetually injured?
Does Ole even make these decisions ?
Oh man, Fosu-Mensa and and injured Tuanzabe in the squad but no Mengi.
Mengi needs a shot.
Edit: Just seen the homegrown quota info. Makes sense now.

Woodward call, keep his value up by not letting it run down. I know its laughable as i type it.
Ole making statement here to woodward that these players have no future under me? Rojo and Romero would have been gone if Woodward wasnt so greedy. Cant see anyone signing Jones. Does he have an injury that will keep him out till January? That would make sense as to why he was excluded.
We couldn't register them even if he wanted to. There's no space.
No future

No future for you!

We need to remove atleast 10-12 players in the next couple of windows. And we need 3 more incomings(imo). That alone would make sure our wage bill falls substantially, and we will have a low net spend as well.
Ofcourse all this is predicated on us being moderately competent in the market. Which we are far from being.

Honestly feel for Romero how his time here is coming to an end in such way. Was a fantastic sub keeper for us and always delivered whenever he played. Ultimately it's the correct time to start moving towards giving Henderson more games as he's a potential long term starter for us.
Jones is undeadwood, significantly harder to get rid of.
Yeah, it's too bad. I like Sergio and think he deserves more respect.
Smalling, Alexis, CBJ, Darmian, Young, Lukaku, Wilson, Herrera, Valencia have left in the past season and a half.
Rojo, Romero, Jones to follow and Dalot/Pereira are on loan.
He's done a pretty good job!
And the overall point is this...if you're CEO, you make the final decisions for the greater good of the club, regardless of the manager, because you're supposed to be overseeing everything and how one transaction or move impacts so many other things in the club.
Thinking that extending Jones for 5 years is a good decision.... is moronic. He hasn't even made a PL bench in how many months? He's a complete mystery at the club. Is he sick, a degenerative disease that doesn't allow him to train or play?
Yep - it's sadly how Woodward runs the club now. If you think LVG won us the FA cup, had been told by Woodward he was backing him, then found out from his wife he had been sacked it gives you an idea of a) how Woodward operates and b) why it simply doesn't work transporting the cutthroat values from investment banking into a football club.
Romero was almost too loyal, obviously he was getting paid well but I've no doubt he probably thought he'd get a shot at being 1st team keeper given DDG has been pretty average since 2018.
Afro was sold one week or two before Jones contract if i remember correctly, it was praised as Ole knows what Manchester United all about, so he got rid of Mop head. Guess they didnt ask him about that either, not sure whats worse.
