Not at the expense of the only player who looked like he would create a chance in the first place.
We didn't trigger the additional year for McT or Maguire so I don't believe those clauses apply. Neither McT nor Maguire wanted to go. Maguire would have taken a big drop in wages and I don't think we felt the bid for McT was enough at the time, not that I agree of course.
Might have not been the best player in the squad, but he gave it his all for the badge. Wish him all the best for the future
Napoli just won 3-0 and the feel good factor is creeping in with Conte. They should be aiming for top 6 this season if they can bring in Lukaku. Conte doesn't fail often in the league so Napoli should be alright
Welcome to the toxic world of the internet.
So much negativity and hate out there these days, its spiralling out of control.
I'd prefer a world where you had one account for all your internet activity which would be set up with your actual ID, it would put a halt to people thinking they can be a complete **** on the internet.
It will never happen though as negative headlines brings in the masses.
I shall now step off my high horse for the day.
Did he though? He was ineffective and a lot of his attempted passes into our front line were wayward. Those outside of the boot flicks never went were he intended all game.
He took a gamble and and it didn't pay off but it has paid off in the past. It wasn't the crime of the Century.
I couldn't agree more. I speak to people on the internet as if they were in the same room as me. I am a very friendly person in real life, and I try to be respectful to other peoples opinions, unless they're being blatantly disrespectful. If I think I've upset someone I'll try and immediately make amends as I don't like to think I've made anyone feel bad.Welcome to the toxic world of the internet.

Ive been a member of the cafe for 18 years, and you'll notice my message count is low. Purely because I can't be bothered with insults you get if someone disagrees with you.
I posted something on TikTok the other day about how I thought Conor Benns style was similar to Mike Tysons. The amount of insults I got was unbelievable, I ended up deleting the post as my inbox was being filled with hateful comments.
Sorry for going off topic.
One year left with an option for another year.
Grow up.
They did but they lost their first game, so it's a mixed start. Their owner is unstable and their manager too, and top 6 with the squad they already have is actually poor.
I don't like that a Manchester United midfielder that hides from the ball like him, but now that he's almost gone, I wish him all the best
‘Shite’, ‘amateur’, ‘romanticised’, ‘idiot’, ‘absurd’, ‘brainless’, ‘pint skuller’, ‘nothing’, ‘low IQ’, ‘border collie’, ‘shite’.
The amount of contempt and hypocritical stupidity of this post leaves me stupidly unable to describe it without resorting to hypocritical contempt myself.
But honestly, what is the worth of such posting on the forum? How is it better than the other things covered by the rules for posting on here?
It just feels that at some point the loudness of disrespect for other people gets so radiant as to outweigh the value of an open forum.
Ah that makes sense. Hopefully with the INEOS team running this club things will slowly start to resemble a competent club.
Yeah Getafe one still gets to me even though a few posters around here have defended it because Murtough had no choice. I disagree but I'm just glad he is no longer part of this club.
cheers for clearing this up.
Scottie’s gonna get so much sunburn in Naples.
It cost us the game. His in game management is mostly atrocious and barely ever pays off. In fact this was more normal than when his changes have a positive effect for us. You are right, it’s par for the course for our manager to adversely effect our play with his subs.
You have no absolutely no way of proving that bringing on McT for Bruno cost us the game.
And I don't know what your last paragraph means or how you're agreeing with me because I never made a point on that topic at all.
How many times does this have to be explained?
We negotiated that clause with Getafe because it got him out an playing football at a decent level. It resulted in us received decent money for him this summer with the potential for another decent payout when he next moves. There wasn't a list of clubs queuing up to take the gamble Getafe took, and they deserved to get paid for it.
If it hadn't been for them, we'd have ended up paying out his contract and losing him on a free. How can people not appreciate that 80% of €30m and the potential for 80% of 50% of his next transfer fee is a hell of a lot better business than 100% of nothing?
I'll miss McTominay. Always good to have players who love the shirt.
We had to shove him out the door because the club didn't take the appropriate action until it was forced upon them by media pressure.
If we had taken the correct decision before some daft investigation which took most of the summer (which still arrived at the wrong conclusion), we'd have easily been able to send him on loan without having to incentivise it. Perhaps even a sale if we'd started on it early enough.
We are where we are now. Greenwood is gone and that's ultimately a good thing but it's not really with any thanks to the decisions taken last summer.
Why the past tense if not a forgone conclusion?
It would just be typical if this broke down and fecks our chances of bringing Ugarte in. Hopefully just a case of Whitwell scaremongering and trying to whip Utd fans into a frenzy to generate clicks.
Enough reason to get him the sack.
McTominay has arguably kept him in a job.
Because he’s no longer a big fan of McT, duh
Explain how they "still arrived at the wrong conclusion"?
The rest of your argument is nonsense. Taking decisive action quicker wouldn't change what he did, nor would it have made him any more attractive to other clubs. Suggesting we'd have "easily been able to send him on loan without having to incentivise it" had we done so sooner is simply not based in reality. Financially, the way things have worked out is better than we could've hoped for after what happened.
That's from Talk of the Devils pod which was recorded at the weekend. Would imagine it has advanced quite a bit since then with Romano and others reporting McT has agreed and already spoken with Conte. just financial issues between ourselves and him to resolve at this point.
I understand why he's a big fan.
Because Jose only played him as an answer to him not giving chances to academy players.
Even if McTom has a close connection with EtH, the likelihood of the manager still being here in 18 months is almost zero...so there is no reason to turn down 3-4 years in Italy.
Bye Scott, thanks for the memories, especially ruining Leeds fans day

I think we will regret letting McTominay go.
Any timeframe on this? Has a medical been scheduled?
Yes we will regret letting him go this late when ideally he should have been shipped off years ago
I regret that we kept him for so long.
Thanks for the memories, but this was never his level.
