So that’s good then?

Think that’s exactly why we WILL see it. We need wing options. We can’t rely on what we have as none of them are remotely consistent. It’ll be a loan and we’ll pay like £200k of his wages.
Zero chance it's happening.
We’ll see, he has this one season to prove one way or the other. Would imagine we cut our losses on him next summer if he continues to struggle.
Tell them to feck off. Obligation or nada

More like they will take him up next year on a free.
I agree. It's gone under the radar how many players have left in the last 24 months. We are indeed in a good spot with our wage bill, and we've also managed to keep our net spend relatively low this summer with all the sales we've made, so we are in a good position regarding PSR/FFP too. Some of the departures can be considered "pure profit" as well, like Greenwood and McTominay, which helps our situation even more.
Mainoo is definitely getting a new deal soon. I think Amad too, as he's started both league games so far this season and his contract is running out. Garnacho signed a new deal in April 2023, so we probably have more time until we have to extend with him, and we'll see with Martínez. I think it could be next year or 2026.
As long as it is obligation, it should be fine. If it is obligation based on him playing in X games, you know that those feckers will stop playing him when he reaches X-1 games.
Considering how much he hates us, he is probably pushing for a permanent end to this saga too
Don't even really want Sterling but that's probably a better deal than whatever shit offer Juve give us.
And let's be real Sterling should be better than Rashford at least

Obligation to buy or feck off you match fixing cnuts!
I just don't fancy us to get a good deal out of Juve. I hope the new regime prove me wrong.
I just think he's too likely to down tools and do absolutely nothing over there, therefore failing to hit any clause to make it an obligation no matter how reasonable it may be.
To be fair we signed him free. We could sell him 1£ and that'd count as profit. Considering Ajax or Anderlecht probably can't afford to pay him the same wages and they're not rich clubs at the global scale (yes even if Ajax rinsed us, it's not a secret them or Benfica are reliant on those cash flows to keep going as a club : Football clubs are a stupidly expensive thing to run) demanding a fee probably kills their possibility to pay him a signing bonus.
Truth of the matter is that we're obviously not in a hurry to show him the door and he has a role to play this year if only occasionally and being an experienced presence. He's on good wages but not especially obscene either. Last public statements from him is that he was happy with that.
If Mount is, perhaps, supposed to rotate at other positions than just Bruno's, it's good to have a bona fide -if slow- #10 that can sub in for Bruno. With a double pivot of Ugarte and Casemiro he wouldn't be as exposed, possibly.
Like the other poster said I'd absolutely take Locatelli the other way.
He's a good player, honest.
You can never have too many goalies. Especially those kneejerk late window ones.
Think you posted this in the wrong thread, but yeah I agree. I like Eriksen.
We should ask Juventus how serious they are. It has to be a straight up obligation. None of this 'conditional obligation' nonsense. You either want the player or you don't. Don't waste our time.
the option to buy is a load of old cobblers, Juventus are type to take him on loan and while he is there for the year, persuade him to run down his Utd contract to join them for free later. We dont need this circus again next year.
Buy outright only, even if the fee is not great.
Unfortunately the market isn’t there for him so we have to work with what we can get. As long as the terms are easy to achieve the obligation like making 15 appearances in a season then that’s fine.
This move to Juventus will probably happen I think. It makes the most sense for Sancho as well.
Nothing is easy to achieve for this clown. That's the problem.
Juventus are the type of club to do anything to get out of conditional clauses. Would rather he goes to Chelsea and we get Sterling.
And it's Juve.
What transfer fee would be seen as a good deal?
£40m+ as long as we're not giving him a pay off.
Good post @Rojofiam
His book value this summer is something like... 30m£ I believe. Next summer 15m£. And his pay is something like 10-13m£ a year.
United reportedly was asking 40m£ for a straight transfer this summer.
For a loan ? If they pay ~10m£ upfront it covers a decent part of his wages for the year. An option/obligation anywhere from 20-40m probably a good deal for us accounting wise.
Correct, probably be Euros
Juventus are so fecking annoying, they would even haggle on a free meal
Well, its down to our negotiating team then, see if we can squeeze something realistic out of them. An option could be okay if they pay more in year 1. Hell, if they just paid all his wages in year 1, that would be a big step forward. But a subsidised loan with just an option is for the birds to be honest. We'd be better off going for the swap deal.
Not sure I'd pick up the phone from Juve
they’d probably reverse the charges
An 'option to buy' that only becomes an 'obligation to buy' if Sancho makes 'X' number of appearances or if Juve qualify for the CL, is probably a reasonable compromise. We just need to get rid.
Italian clubs proving that beggars can, in fact, be choosers. My bias talking here : While the haggling from them is annoying (and borne out of some necessity) we could probably learn a thing or two from them.
Why do you post this jokers stuff? He knows absolutely nothing.
With all our sales this summer, we have done a great job for PSR (also a lot of players sold with a book value of zero or nearly zero). If we sell him for exactly his book value, or even just slightly below I'd be happy (potential pay-off included). We'd also get rid of his wages.
