Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
Just dawned on me…. No more Rhythm is a dancer
Gordon is awful, crazy he's getting to play CL. No other CL team wanted him, EL teams didn't even want him. Harvey Barnes was average at best at a relegated Leicester. I don't have to recalibrate a thing, the wages and contracts for mediocre players is different level.Harvey Barnes and Gordon were wanted by Champions league clubs, Elanga is wanted by relegation fodder. It's you that needs to recalibrate your valuations.
And unless you're talking about the the top 10 or so nations, being an International doesn't mean much.
Surely all the wages that you are complaining about were agreed under the previous administration (Woodward, Judge, etc)? Why blame the current guys? While they may not be perfect all the signs are that they are far better than the previous jokers.Gordon is awful, crazy he's getting to play CL.

United are basically giving players away like Telles and Bailly because of wages they were given. Because they made an absolute balls up of contracts. I'll continue to call out these jokers in charge. The money de gea was getting was unbelievable, not like anybody even tried to buy him. Then we were suppose to applaud Mortough and Arnold, not a chance.

Yep you nailed it. OP is barking up the wrong tree.Surely all the wages that you are complaining about were agreed under the previous administration (Woodward, Judge, etc)? Why blame the current guys? While they may not be perfect all the signs are that they are far better than the previous jokers.
Be honest, it's just the wood you likeI always liked Forest..
This seems wrong now.Don’t think we can get over 10m for him. We likely could have sold him for 20m last summer when his stock was high, but we never sell players at the right time.
We didn't sign Weghorst, we just borrowed him for a few monthsAnd weghorst. Could name a few that aren’t bad players but we’ve signed them and they’ve turned bad.
Sadly, given our performance prior to last season that counts for naff all these days. We aren’t the behemoth we once were and we are run like crap by clueless clowns. £15m is frankly a miracle.50+ games on his CV for Man United
Alex Iwobi had played 149 times for Arsenal by the time he was sold and had played in a World Cup. He played 35 league games for Arsenal in his last season. Come on now...Shite players go for decent money all the time. Everton the team interested in Elanga literally payed £35m for Alex Iwobi! A player who’s just as bad if not worse than Elanga.

Really good fee in my opinion.
With how good our academy is at producing players we should generate 2-3 of these types of sales every season. Just imagine if we sold the likes of TFM, Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams and Henderson earlier.
Not just the club but this fanbase is too sentimental when it comes to selling youth players. Selling them at the right time could be the difference between £20m and them leavinv on a free or for pennies.
Henderson was slated to be DDG's replacement and was in the frame as England's GK at one pont,I’ve often felt the club were scared to death after what happened with Pogba in 2012. Felt like for years after they were concerned about it happening again, hence Henderson getting this deal when there was the whisper of interest from Chelsea.
Hopefully better decisions will be made going forward. As we know the contracts, not just for guys from the youth team, were a disgrace under Woodward.
John Murtough the deal maker, 15m is garbage for a Swedish international. The amount of spin in here again. United don't sell players well ect. Harvey Barnes, Anthony Gordon recently and James Trafford yesterday. Yeah the English tax but United never get a good price. This is down to people giving out stupid wages in contracts/poor negotiating. They can see the circus coming. Maybe this wasn't an issue a few years ago when United had money, but they are broke now and ffp is apparently a thing.
Club deserve to be absolutely slated and ridiculed. Won't change until competent people are in charge. Feel sorry for ETH having to work with such fools. Be interesting to see what happens with Henderson now.
Wasn't that he was waiting really. He had multiple clubs in for him at the same time.Totally agree with that, also fair play to Elanga, turned down Everton because he didn't fancy Dyche ball and waited for a better offer. Good deal all round
Exactly. Elanga would love to have Harvey Barnes' career at his stage right now.Comparing Elanga with Harvey Barnes is ridiculous. Barnes has been a first team regular for Leicester for four seasons and scored 45 goals for them. Elanga has done nothing in club football.
Because everyone else downed tools.Decent fee, good luck to the lad, never thought he was going to make it here.
Seemed to be a Ralph favourite for reasons I couldn't fathom.
Alex Iwobi had played 149 times for Arsenal by the time he was sold and had played in a World Cup. He played 35 league games for Arsenal in his last season. Come on now...
He wasn't really viewed that way at the time by a lot of people. He was still promising.I replied to a poster that said the reason Elanga would go for peanuts was because he was shite, I was using an example of another shite player going for a quite lot of money to the club in question. It’s irrelevant how often he played for Arsenal, he’s still shite.
I was using the fee as context, never said Elanga was better Barnes. He isn't.Comparing Elanga with Harvey Barnes is ridiculous. Barnes has been a first team regular for Leicester for four seasons and scored 45 goals for them. Elanga has done nothing in club football.
