Just wait for the next Adidas stunt. They are on fireAdidas dropping hints like the Pogba transfer![]()
I was talking about LvG who was our #1 target after sacking moyes and how it was handled on an international duty then pogba on a different incident
Yeah well that's the pebbled stoneRashford thinks he’s the one.
Do you think once we sign him, they'll change these images to the real Ligt?Adidas dropping hints like the Pogba transfer![]()
Check in the comments section to see if anyone mentions the Chevy logo. You’ll know then.
...If we take the woe are United spectacles off, in isolation these leaks really sound like they're trying to raise the price on us and not PSG / Barca?
thats a big if though. But yeah, i can see them going for him if he hasnt signed for Barca til then.If Ramos is leaving Real, surely Real will be in for him.
Wasn't there some sort of news about Nike & Barca for de ligt and how Adidas was different towards the deal? Not sure exactly what.Adidas dropping hints like the Pogba transfer![]()
That was my first thought when I seen he had asked for free transferIf Ramos is leaving Real, surely Real will be in for him.
I am so confused, yes this image is real, I can confirm that. But that's just some guy isn't it? That's not De Ligt... Or am I missing something?
yeah it is just some guy, hence are adidas trolling using a model which could be De Ligts twin brotherI am so confused, yes this image is real, I can confirm that. But that's just some guy isn't it? That's not De Ligt... Or am I missing something?
Pretty sure Real told him to dream on if he thinks they are going to let him go for free. It is probably more of a negotiating tactic from Ramos to get a pay hike.That was my first thought when I seen he had asked for free transfer
One way to generate those links I supposeyeah it is just some guy, hence are adidas trolling using a model which could be De Ligts twin brother
I think hes off to India, well according to Perez.That was my first thought when I seen he had asked for free transfer
But it makes sense. Story goes that he wants to go to Barca and United have upped their wage offer to combat that so Barca now have to raise their offer which would be taken back to United. The player hasn't even said anything to say he dreams of Spain, it's leaks to the media that say it. Why would Raiola want that if that's the club he's going to anyway? Wouldn't he want to be seen to be favouring elsewhere and force Barcas hand?...
Get out, now!
It’s everyone that’s being played. It’s an auction for his services.But it makes sense.

Now reports of Barca dropping out and all of a sudden PSG are in the equation who just happens to be happy to match any offer the player and agents get.
It's United that's being played here.
The player knows where he wants to go. There are few auctions in football anymore.It’s everyone that’s being played. It’s an auction for his services.
But whats happens if Ajax want more money and Barca dont want to budge? Does he sit tight another year or go to United?The player knows where he wants to go. There are few auctions in football anymore.
Well, obviously our transfer policy has sucked over the last couple of years. That I think we can agree on. I dont agree on this age discrimination when it comes to wages though. Its understandable from a moral point of view, but not from a footballing and financial one. Who of Sanchez and De Ligt would you have at our club for 350k a week? We just have to accept that world class talent will cost that in wages nowadays. You cannot buy a 20 year old super-talent for the amount of money that is being talked about for De Ligt and not give him a salary that is equivalent to his transfer value. It will take one year and he will be poached by another club, not to mention the extreme financial setback we would take if he sees out his contract. Its a nice dream but not practically doable to offer him like 150k a week. Not to mention that his agent would laugh in our faces.I don't get where you can throw about this and that being naive. We have the second highest wage bill on the planet and we are not even among the 20 best teams. So obviously we've been run absolutely terribly.
There are only about a handful of players earning around that figure or more, those are established super stars at Barca, Real and PSG. Hard to tell with City and their shady dealings, but probably them too.
Signing a 19 year old - albeit very promising - player and giving him 350K (again, and I stress, if true) would be insane. Giving Rashford 300K would be even worse. No other club on the planet would give Rashford that kind of money (same applies, if those rumours are true).
I'm pretty sure more than half our players are earning more at United than they could ever dream of getting elsewhere. That's my problem with continuing a policy of absolute madness. That being said, I don't imagine de Ligt has any interest in joining United and I think what is getting us mentioned is our willingness to pay more to the agent.
You cant be serious about offering a 19YO player £350k a week and not seeing the implications of it, he wouldnt get that at any club in the world? Sanchez got that contract because he was a swap with a player who was bought for £30M.Well, obviously our transfer policy has sucked over the last couple of years. That I think we can agree on.

The muppet in me says yes!Do you think once we sign him, they'll change these images to the real Ligt?

You did not read my EDIT I guess. I think the 350k is exagerrated. Most clubs today have incentive-based wages, so a base salary of 250k seems reasonable. Its funny, because when it comes to United they always report the max outcome for the player. Like saying Sanchez is on 500k a week. But in general I do not have a problem with paying young players a high salary. I usually take Pogba as an example. If we sell him this summer we will have made money on him even including the wages paid to him for the time at the club. If it takes that kinda wage to secure De Ligt, I am all for it. I am very much against what we did with an old player like Sanchez where we now will need to pay to get rid of him.You cant be serious about offering a 19YO player £350k a week and not seeing the implications of it, he wouldnt get that at any club in the world?

What an odd response.
Ok you dont have a problem paying young players a high salary? Where exactly do you go from, even the £250K you now suggest at his next contract negotiation?You did not read my EDIT I guess.

And I disagree btw, watch PSG offer a similar wage to De Ligt.
Modern football seems to be a certain destination in mind and both clubs haggle as long as they can before the transfer happens.But whats happens if Ajax want more money and Barca dont want to budge? Does he sit tight another year or go to United?
It wasWhat an odd response.
Two things: Age and asset value. Van Dijk is 28. Ramos is what? 33? Their transfer value will depreciate over the next couple of years. That is as much of a cost to the club as wages. Look at yourselves. Eriksens transfer value has been cut in half over a year according to CIES for example. From 100m EURO to 50m EURO. Thats 50m in asset depriciation over a year and would in itself fund a new contract to him for four years at 250k a week. You have basically paid 50 m to keep him this year.Ok you dont have a problem paying young players a high salary? Where exactly do you go from, even the £250K you now suggest at his next contract negotiation?
Van Dyk, arguably the best CB in the world at the moment is on £150K, Ramos, probably the highest paid and most decorated CB in the world is on £200K, what makes de Ligt worthy of £250K?
If it was anything worth discussing or genuine news that nobody has yet broken they wouldn’t be sitting on it until 8pm.
