Feels like there's already a deal with Forest in place, but we're waiting to tie up Onana first.
Imagine it'll be a bit of a domino effect after that.
Oh for sure, I'm not saying he'll play for his supper, but I think if he needs to take a bit of a pay cut to move he'll do it. Holding up a deal because of something like that would be penny wise pound foolish as he's not going to get good offers after another season or two on the bench.
I reckon so.
See Lingard....
Hopefully Maguire takes notice too.
He needs to close this deal fast to prevent ETH see him in training and not letting him go
Clearly holding out for this deal until we sign Onana but we are potentially haggling for a few million for Onana and risk losing out on £20m odd here? Seems strange to me, perhaps the bid hasn't come in as expected?

what a horrendous quote that was.It has been suggested that Forest only want to pay around 15M which is a long way off our valuation and a lot less than City are selling a GK with almost no experience for. Whether they are willing to go higher and are just trying to play on our perceived desperation is up for debate but it is worth bearing in mind that they really wanted to sign Garner on a permanent deal last summer but we ended up dragging our feet so they moved to other targets and in the end we sold him to Everton for less than Forest had been allegedly willing to pay.
Again, typical problem for us, he is on crazy wages for a GK, something like 100k p/w. Not many team can afford a transfer fees and high wages for a GK.
Don't know quite how true it is, but I'd heard that Solskjaer had promised him the Number One jersey, and his new contract reflected that at £150k per week....
How much money do you think he makes for being the generic character model on all video games?
Don't disagree, but lets just bite the bullet and get rid of this deadwood.
£20M incoming and close to £6M off the wage bill.
Minimum I expect for Him is £25m including add ons and I think Club won't sanction his sale either below that amount .
Such a bizarre mix of self-important arrogance and complete lack of self-belief all in one statement.
The Alan Partridge of Goalkeepers.
Why do people keep assuming £100k a week is prohibitive? I don’t have that much knowledge of all the wages of premier league keepers but £100k doesn’t seem out of the ordinary for a keeper if his standard, who is a mid table established premier league player who still has potential to develop. If it is £150k, which seems unlikely, then it’s different, but even still a first team player, homegrown, cusp of the international squad and the “right” age being signed for £20m seems like he would be in the £120-150k per week bracket these days.
Nah it's a hell of a lot, when you consider Jose Sa at Wolves, Raya at Brentford and Sanchez at Brighton earn 25K-30K a week.
Even Ramsdale is on around 65K a week apparently.
Buy expensive, sell cheap.
Tis should be engraved in our badge
The United way
At least you've informed us you don't have that much knowledge about it. It is a ridiculous salary for an average keeper.
He had leverage though at the time of signing it, it would be bad business if we let him go on a free, hence he signed for a relatively big contract.
I stand corrected, by quite a few of you
He had a couple of years on his contract when he renewed last time. He was coming from an impressive loan at Sheffield United and had a lot of suitors, he should've been sold then. It would've easily been for more than what he will be sold for now.
This is the way.
After Mount and Onana took up our entire FFP budget, this now presumably gives us £20m on the accounts to re-invest.
Any decent strikers going for £20m?
Any decent strikers going for £20m?
Didn't pay anything for Henderson did we?
He would be if he wasn't on 120k a week.
You do realise the wages only affect the selling club. Forest don’t have to pay him that. It just means we would have to pay him off to leave.
So if Forest agree to pay him £40k a week for instance. He might request for us to cover the rest.
We could settle a package where he gets £3m to leave which we just take from the transfer fee. Eitherway it’s not worth selling him for cheap.
Or you sell him for 8-10 million less so they can sort out the wages or sign on bonus.
But they will do that anyway. You think if we sell him cheaper Henderson doesn’t have to ask for his money? All it means if Forest can say they have more money to give him a bigger contract.
Really not our problem. His value should be £25m minimum.
Still haven’t got over his interview from last year. Completely unprofessional.
I agree with you, but we see that we keep selling players for a cut price and normally it seems be because of the inflated wages the players are on.
The club wants to get rid and the buying clubs know that, is it good business? absolutely not!
Same
It was like if Ibra and Mourinho had a child and Henderson was the result, the ego of the lad
I thought he was at 120K/week. Which would have him in top 15 most paid keepers in the world. He is just not that good to be in that range, especially with keepers of the same quality being quite a bit less paid.
He actually would give us 100m, I believe. Amortised for 5 years. However, we might not have as much money. I think there are two issues:
1) FFP rules - how much money we are allowed to spend.
2) Cash reserves/credit - how much money we have to spend.
Think Athletic mentioned the credit isn't the issue but it's more issue 1)
