Smalling earns nearly 3x the salary Mings is currently on.They couldn't find a buyer for Smalling in England when Tyrone Minge went for 25M?

I'd prefer to get rid rather than delay the inevitable another year.Let him leave on a free, when we're getting a 3m loan fee for him?
Depends if people want them or not.So why don’t we then move Rojo, Jones, Darmian? They are even worse players
Don't want to strengthen a rivalI wonder why our loan move was rejected.
Lingard is the scapeGOAT (partly/mostly his own fault) so I wouldn't worry.Our club can't continue to get rid of our favourite scapegoats. We'll have nobody left to blame.
Yep he's been ruthless and it's long overdue, how so many of these players have survived post SAF is anyone's guess (they've basically lucked out due to the ever moving carousel of managers)Stuff like this makes me think Ole might be the right man for the job. He can't clear everyone out in one window but it's obvious he has identified who needs to go.
He'll do well in Serie A.
Shorter English transfer window probably screwed you out of the deal.I wonder why our loan move was rejected.
Shame, was looking forward to his testimonial at the end of this season.
Rojo is going to be our new DM.I wonder why our loan move was rejected.
Which is probably why he is the one who Roma are interested in.Probably would have preferred him over Jones and Rojo, but oh well. No complaints.
Time all of them are moved on. Good luck to Smalling over there, if the deal is finalised. Always seemed a nice bloke/pro.
Thoughts are with @Ekeke
We will be hoping that Sanchez and Smalling play well in Italy and are taken permanently, obviously we can't sell Sanchez now due to his wages and Smalling because nobody who could afford him would want him.Yep he's been ruthless and it's long overdue, how so many of these players have survived post SAF is anyone's guess (they've basically lucked out due to the ever moving carousel of managers)
Valencia - gone
Young - replaced
Lukaku - sold
Sanchez - loaned out
Smalling - loaned out
Obviously the last 2 return to us in less than a years time but it's a clear signal of intent that if Ole is still in charge at that time they have no future at the club. Looking very likely this time next year we can add at least Darmian's name to the outs if not the likes of Rojo and Matic as well
I'm certainly happy to keep Darmian around for this season, he's a good pro and does ok in the handful of games he's called upon. Please no new contract for him though, feel bad for the lad that he's wasted his best years sitting on the bench here. Let him return to Italy next summer on a freeWe will be hoping that Sanchez and Smalling play well in Italy and are taken permanently, obviously we can't sell Sanchez now due to his wages and Smalling because nobody who could afford him would want him.
It wouldn't surprise me if Ole is happy to keep Darmian around. He is unlikely to cost much, he is versatile and he is capable of filling in without much notice.
