Not the first time we have included that type of clause, but the situation we are in they are ridiculous and to be honest a bit arrogant.Tweet

Can't be true, surely. The state of those bonuses
Not even sure when we'll next play in the Champions League, nevermind be in with a reasonable chance of winning it. Can understand Sporting's reservations.Not the first time we have included that type of clause, but the situation we are in they are ridiculous and to be honest a bit arrogant.
Should be geared towards goals, appearances and assists, then league positions and things like cups. It will be a long time before we challenge for the league.Not even sure when we'll next play in the Champions League, nevermind be in with a reasonable chance of winning it.

Might as well include Jones winning the GQ' sexiest man alive clause
Disagree entirely,I’d add that he’s the one ontrol of his destiny.
Yes he is talented but so are a handful of others in the age group lower. We will always have talented youngsters.
Has he taken his opportunity? No. Most of the time he’s looked nervous and unsure. He should have scored an easy tap in against Astana.
He allegedly turned down a loan move. Why? We will never know.However, it may have benefited him long term.
He’s the one stalling on a contract I believe. Does he think Utd owe him a living? If you don’t take your chance here then Utd will do its best to find you another club.
If the grass is greener elsewhere then we can’t stand in his way.
If it is Juve then brilliant. I’ll be happy for him. What I do know is that this club will move on.
Personally I’m far more convinced by Mejbri, Hoogwerf and a couple of others
Arrogant for wanting to pay a fair market value for a player? They’ve been trying to flog him forever and no a single sniff of anyone wanting to pay over £50 million outright for him. Long may we continue to be arrogant.Not the first time we have included that type of clause, but the situation we are in they are ridiculous and to be honest a bit arrogant.
Those clauses are always unrealistic. If Sporting dont think he can help get us there then he isnt an 80m player anyway.Not even sure when we'll next play in the Champions League, nevermind be in with a reasonable chance of winning it. Can understand Sporting's reservations.
A winning the CL clause would be daft. Him winning a Balon D'or clause is stupid. They put loads of clauses in that they know will not be met. I am still waiting for Martial to win the Balon D'or. Make them reachable clauses, which funny enough might mean we actually qualify for the CL, we have to at least do that before we can win it.Arrogant for wanting to pay a fair market value for a player?

And half our fans will lap it up...I'm waiting for the briefed 'Man Utd have no interest in signing Bruno Fernandes and are baffled by their links to him in the media' tweets
Point taken about the CL clause but don't see the issue with the Balon one. It's smart from United to add such clauses.A winning the CL clause would be daft.

Can we interest them in a promising young interpreter of space going by the name of “Beans”?Inter are my new favourite team.
Making all our dreams come true.
FFS they are like dealing with Aulas and Levy in one personTweet

Clauses have to be realistic. He’s a good player but Ballon d’or winner material especially with us? Not a chance.Point taken about the CL clause but don't see the issue with the Balon one. It's smart from United to add such clauses.
I agree with this - they're in need of the money, yet they're keeping hold of a player by demanding a ridiculous fee, fact of the matter is no one was going to pay 80m for him in the summer then no one is going to do so now, we've actually been kind enough to entertain the idea of paying that much by adding a clause.Arrogant for wanting to pay a fair market value for a player?

Any clause that United deem is smart to insert is one that Sporting, per definition, will find stupid and bad.Point taken about the CL clause but don't see the issue with the Balon one. It's smart from United to add such clauses.
So any players costing up to £68m after clauses (realistic ones, not ones like us winning the CL) have to be potential Balon Do'r winners...If Sporting actually thought he was an 80m player then they'd agree to the Balon Do'r clause as they would be confident of him getting there, alas they're not.
@yumtum is correct
isn't that ironic too? if a player can win a balon d'or in a few years then obviously his transfer fee should be more considering the potential.So any players costing up to £68m after clauses (realistic ones, not ones like us winning the CL) have to be potential Balon Do'r winners...
So if we sign Madison from Leicester they will happily take an add on clause about him being the future best player in the world?
Not to mention the politics involved in assigning the Ballon d orClauses have to be realistic. He’s a good player but Ballon d’or winner material especially with us? Not a chance.
Until Messi/Ronaldo go nothing will change.Not to mention the politics involved in assigning the Ballon d or
I think ultimately Fernandes will have to push for the move.Tweet

I know people think we are stingy and we need to pay up but to double a players valuation like that off the back of nothing is ludicrous.
They risk doing a Napoli and regretting not cashing in on there star player (Koulibaly).
Inter wanted 50M and left a deal haggling over 5M for Perisic, now they are loaning him out to Bayern and last week Bayern refused the option to buy him for 17M. They can't use him either as Conte doesn't rate him. Sporting can do one as well.Tweet

So basically they wanted £39m in the summer, and we're offering them an overall package of £60m 5 months later? We're run by imbecils if that's at all true.Tweet

This!As much as I want United to get him. They can get fecked.
The bonuses are unrealistic believe winning the Ballon d'or and champions league are amongst those which is why Sporting aren't happy with that structure.So basically they wanted £39m in the summer, and we're offering them an overall package of £60m 5 months later? We're run by imbecils if that's at all true.
Also Sporting suddenly wanting £68m means they'll quickly run out of suitors as were9the only ones actually nibbling.
Seems both clubs aren't the smartest.
Sell Rashford?Can we interest them in a promising young interpreter of space going by the name of “Beans”?
