Because we have bigger idiots in our board.Why are people taking this luckhurst idiot seriously?
Mata with 3 year deal.
Next there will be suggestion that Mata was given a three year contract in order to keep his big friend Dave happy, in order that Dave pens a new deal.Tweet

Cunning. Very cunning. We must have hired Baldrick as DoF when nobody was looking.Absolutely ridiculous.
Every year Luckhurst winds Utd fans up. Got blocked by him last window for calling him a bs merchant. He's a joke.Why are people taking this luckhurst idiot seriously?
Wonderful news. That's RW sorted for another 3 years. Look forward to see Young>Mata combo next season. Top class.Tweet

Good planning.
Exactly why it'll happen, we're fecking idiots at the moment. Most of the decisions the club has taken these last few years have been infuriating.Don't believe it. I like Mata but this would be bad business. A 1+1 year deal would be best, 2+1 maybe, but definitely not 3.

I thought it wasnt needed any sidenote as this forum already depressing enough.I hope there is white text somewhere.
Mata’s Blogging on the way to relegation will eerily resemble the band taking up their instruments on the deck of the Titanic as it went down.

Things normal football clubs do: extend the contract of your £50m rightback who is arguably the best in the league at his position while simultaneously spending another £50m on a player in that exact position.Tweet

That he won't flop, that he won't have the same trajectory as Fred. nobody knows and nobody can know.How would I know what? That we're not in for Rodri or that he won't flop?
He's getting 5 million a year for three years according to the "article". Wouldn't take anything as gospel but it's worrying we're giving a player we don't need a three-year deal.Regarding Mata contract. What if he signes a 3-year deal with a wage reduction plan. Say 100k/week first year, 75k second year, 60k third year option? Or that it is more incentive based with lower fixed wage but more bonuses? Lets not assume the worst even though its Woody...

The next step from that would be to change the name of the Stadium.Rarely seen a more obviously wrong comment.
Yeah, didn’t read the article. But it does sound way outside our strategy of renewals, so i’d be surprised if that is true.He's getting 5 million a year for three years according to the "article". Wouldn't take anything as gospel but it's worrying we're giving a player we don't need a three-year deal.
We'd have no reason to, which is why that tweet reeks of yet another attempt to rile people up about nothing. Luckhurst probably assumed that most fans would not think about it before reacting, and based on my perusal of the Caf this morning I'd say he assumed correctly.If this is our strategy, why would we tell him?
Because I've seen him play a lot, he's proven in one of the best leagues in the world, he's got all the tools to perform in City's system and he's still very young with potential to improve further.That he won't flop, that he won't have the same trajectory as Fred. nobody knows and nobody can know.
Sad stuff when Man City are even willing to move Danilo who walk into our right back position so quickly on and yet our club is giving contract extensions to Ashley Young and Phil Jones.The way they run their club is absolutely night and day compared with our lot. Ruthlessness and forward planning from top to bottom whilst we award mediocrity with new contracts
Ya feck off.Tweet

This wouldn't bother me if I thought that we would use him in his correct position centrally for the forseeable future as just a back up option but he will be plugging that gap on the right wing when we go into yet another season of ignoring the right wing position.Tweet

So were a lot of players before him and then went on to fail. There's absolutely no way for you or anyway to know if a player is gonna succeed or not. A lot of people saw Fred play before and would have been adamant that he would succeed.Because I've seen him play a lot, he's proven in one of the best leagues in the world, he's got all the tools to perform in City's system and he's still very young with potential to improve further.
Good strategy to just sit back and wait? Haha. I think it’s borderline mental that we haven’t signed even one midfielder yet considering Fellaini and Herrera are out and Pogba is likely on his way out.Think our first choice option hasn't made up his mind (my guess is Rabiot) . Once he decides we will calls on other targets like Ndombele or Le Colso or anyone else. As long as other clubs dont make a move, think we are just playing the wait game. Which makes sense to me.
Rumored players - Tielemans, Longstaff, Ndombele, Le Colso etc.
No other club has actually made any progress with these players anyway.
So, calm the feck down guys !
Ok, they are a very slickly run enterprise. But their entire revenue base is illegal. So they are well run like, for example, the Tony Soprano New Jersey outfit.They are absolutely one of the best run footballing operations. Player recruitment, manager recruitment, wage structure...aces. If you're annoyed because football regulalators are lax in their enforcement of the weak financial rules...boo hoo. You're lost wallowing in things that make you feel better like they're a plastic club with no fans. They actually have highly competent people at the club.
Say, our first choice is Rabiot and he has requested time until certain date to make a decision. What do you do ? You wait while keeping tabs on alternatives. If someone is making a move on our alternate options, you also get involved.Good strategy to just sit back and wait? Haha. I think it’s borderline mental that we haven’t signed even one midfielder yet considering Fellaini and Herrera are out and Pogba is likely on his way out.
