no he's not. He's a very limited player who sometimes provides a goal. His abilities to pass the ball are cack. He's not creative and he's always missing defensively.If we can't get a minimum of £25m we might as well keep him. He's a useful squad player.
I’m not saying he needs to be a regular starter but he’s a FAR more useful player than Eriksen or Casemiro.
Some people here are learning what Pep has forgotten 8 years ago, which is, you can’t dominate the Premier League with a team of midgets who may be brilliant on the ball but couldn’t win a header in their box or on the halfway line to save their lives:
No, he is not. He is utter dross who should have been sold ages ago.If we can't get a minimum of £25m we might as well keep him. He's a useful squad player.
I never said we shouldn't get rid. But some people are underestimating his value and want him sold for peanuts.He's 28 at the end of the year. He will start declining very soon and now is the time to get rid.
Not sure what your point is here exactly, but a number of those players were clearly over the hill (but nobody sane would question their quality as such).
My point was not that SAF mostly turned turds into diamonds, but that he did know how to use players (mostly as squad options) who weren't objectively brilliant (and who might, indeed, look nowhere as good elsewhere).
Nah he’s pish. Sell for £30m.At the prices mentioned 100% keep him, unless we are getting Declan Rice money he's worth it
I still got room for Scotty. Casemiro needs to go if we get Ugarte.
He's so full of shit, reminds me of Rio's past antics.According to Adam in Forever United Tv a source in the club texted him: "Keep your eyes on Mctominay"
Apparently something happening very soon with him. Lets see tomorrow if we do not get any Mctominay transfer news.
McTominay would've been sold in the SAF era.

Two out and one in doesn’t sound great when you consider that we’re already threadbare in midfieldMcTominay to be sold to a PL club and Casemiro possibly to Saudi club (though not as likely). Can see it.
suspect we will get amrabat back .. along with one more signing which looks like ugarte.Two out and one in doesn’t sound great when you consider that we’re already threadbare in midfield

Of course not. We must sell to get pure profit, and to fund new incomingsOr it's worth keeping him just for a year instead of buying a new player like Ugarte?
So you would give him a new contract then? 120k and 4 years sound about right? Because he's in his final year right now
Or it's worth keeping him just for a year instead of buying a new player like Ugarte?
A year of his contract left, we can’t keep players that are “ok”, pay their wages then lose them on a free… when the alternative is c£20m and no wages for a year (so a few more £m). And I don’t think Berrada/Ashworth/Jim would think the financial alternatives work either.Unless selling him is an immediate enabler for another incoming transfer like Ugarte ot de Ligt I would keep him..
He shouldnt start a game, but there is no denying his value as an impact sub.. There is also nothing not to like about his attitude, mentality, so I think he also has his value in the dressing room and on the training pitch..

Good guy but if not extending his contract (I wouldn’t) we need to take the cash.
Problem is we need the money to buy someone who'd play a far more important role than just a luxury sub to give you 10 goals. We now have two strikers as well.He still has a plus one left after this year.
I understand people’s reluctance to offer out new contracts to players who’ve had one decent season. But if we’re not getting the money we want for him this year, then why not keep him and see if he can replicate his super sub season next year?
If he does why would you not sign up a squad player who’s happy with limited minutes, an average salary, and gives you 10 goals a season? He doesn’t have to play DM and he doesn’t have to start.

Then mainoo, ugrate, amrabat for two positions. Plus some one from academy as well.
