Oh do go feck yourself .

I'm not saying depression is something to ridicule, we all know someone who has suffered from it and it's a terrible thing.

My point is, him crying about 'dark times' when he has just won the league, is paid a fortune for sitting on a bench, is insensitive and idiotic at a time such as this where there are people suffering way more than he claims to have.
Tbf, you can win the lottery, shit gold and have Angelina Jolie waiting in your bed every night and have crippling depression.

You got your argument wrong, it happens, I get your point but you failed to consider intangibles such as mental health not being unique to struggling working class.

Do love peoples different valuations, personally think the guy you are responding to, that his lower end of the valuations is more accurate than yours. Do you think we would actually sell those three for £20m in total, really? One may have been poor for the last year and the other injured a lot, but these are two England internationals after all. Name me two England internationals you could buy for £20m let alone including Dalot as well. I am not saying that people are going to pay for them but if you think we are selling those three for £20m in total you are mad
It's dreamworld thinking we could get 50m between Dalot and Lingard. Or 8m for Mata. Or 10m for Jones.

Time will tell but i bet the latter two will go for free when they do go.
Who is taking Lingards 100k a week on?!

And what we buy for is unrelated to what we sell for.
8m might only get a mid table championship player for us, but being United and that player being on the up hype the fee up.

Our sales are generally players on the way down and on huge wages.

Never mind 50m, it would be more like 100m+, though it's unlikely we'll sell them all:

Smalling - 15m-20m
Rojo - 5m-10m
Dalot - 25m-30m
Lingard - 30m-35m
Pereira (even though I don't think we'll sell him just yet) - 10m-15m
Mata - 8m-10m
Sanchez - realistically I think we'll write it off to get his wages off the books rather than get a fee, but if we can, then it would be 20m, tops
Jones - 15m-25m
No chance! The only realistic price you have is Smalling. No one will spend 30-35 million on Lingard with his 3 or 4 goals/assists in 2 years. 25-30 mil on Dalot? What would you value Williams or TFM, 50 mil? Can you tell which club(s) would take Jones off our hands for 15-25 mil? He can't even stay fit for 5 minutes. The likes of Sanchez, Mata and Rojo would not get transfer fees. You need to consider the wages we pay these players.

Conversely I think you guys are being overly pessimistic. The deal that's been mooted with Roma is 21m (3m loan, 18m compulsory purchase order).

The likes of Lingard and Jones are England internationals and will have a certain cache with midtable clubs. I can certainly see Everton being interested in the former, while the latter could easily end up at a team like West Ham or Burnley (though Burnley might be an issue with a lad who came through at Blackburn)

Dalot meanwhile is very young still, and does have a good reputation on the continent.

The fact that all of them still have a lot of time left on their contracts mean we will be more likely to get somewhere close to their valuations, Covid permitting.
smalling is the best player among the bunch we want to get rid, if he is going for 20, It is optimistic to think anyone out there will pay more for worse. Lingard is damaged goods, no one outside of moyes has shown any interest and why would they, being a English international means for little when you haven't scored or assisted for a whole calender year. The only reason to buy jones is if you want to make the physio and doctors earns their salaries.

The key problem selling players is the contracts they are on which is something we are not learning from giving a 3year contract to Matic at his age, ridiculous. The last person suggested we wouldnt get £20m for the three you ,mention excluding Mata, that is pure crazy. I dont think we will get £50m for the three let alone two either, but certainly more than £20m and I would expect nearer £40m. You even state yourself £8m might only get a mid table championship player" so how an earth do you value these players at the same price or less then pretty much? Ridiculous

Also how an earth is what we sell not related to what we buy? Apart from freeing up wages we only have a certain transfer budget available. We are not going to be spending £200m+ odd this summer if we are raising £20m from selling four players and loaning out again our current loan players. Especially in the current climate, are you that naive?

Don’t get why we would sell Dalot. He’s better than TFM at right back and decent cover to AWB
He has a chronic hip problem that's been affecting his knee. We have sent him to specialists across the world for it. He failed his medical and we still signed him if I remember correctly.

I imagine hes been struggling to get fit enough for the managers liking, or there might be other problems with his attitude.

Either way, I hope he can get fitter and get his chance. I fancy him against some of the low block teams.
I would see or ship out our permacrocks tbh no matter how much potential or how good they are. There are many things we are guilt of doing poorly as a club in recent years but waiting for players to get fit is the worst because it has prevented us getting a run of players together to gel. In defense especially we have Dalot, Bailly and Jones that is like ground hog day. We expect them to have a great year once they are fit then they never are.

About £10m more added to our transfer kitty potentially.
Would that be £30 million for us then? Has he been poor this year? I havent watched him much this season but that would be a great deal for a player who can play all across the front and would be a nightmare coming off bench for tired opposition. I really rate him, not as a starter but for that price we should consider him as he isn't a huge drop off.

30m to us out of 40m? No

Not sure if it was worth it in the end for Palace. The relegation race was a bit close but couldn't they have stayed in the PL by selling him and reinvesting a bit of the money in a good scoring winger replacement ? I don't see which club could be tempted now, event at 30/40M. Too costly to be on the bench and i don't think he gets in the starting 11 of any of the top 6. Everton might be his best bet.

So that's Jonathan David, Burak Yilmaz, and now Alfredo Morelos all close to signing to Lille. Are they looking at multiple options just so they can find a bargain, or are the journalists jumping the gun here?
Obviously Osihmen has gone and I saw Ikone to Dortmund rumours today. Add to that the fact they have Loic Remy as one of their strikers it wouldn’t surprise me if they got al least 2 new forwards.

David and Morelos would be two really nice signings for them IMO

This explains the Jonathan David situation, at least.

Summary:

    • Ibra had an option to renew for 6 million Euros a season, which expired in May
  • Milan will meet with Raiola to discuss Donnarumma's renewal
  • Calhanoglu is very interested in continuing with Milan
    • Milan may insert an exit clause

I’m a bug fan of Kabak. He’d be a brilliant signing, and a smart one for us I think as he’d be cheap.

I think they are making a big mistake signing Hakan on. I've never been a fan of his during his time at Leverkusen and besides the last month he has also been nothing more than decent for AC Milan. They would be well advised to sell him while his stock may be high and go for another player to run their offense.

If they give him a big new contract it will only constrain them for a number of years.

I don’t see anyone paying much money for him, though.
