Player Contract Expiry Dates

What I meant is that I hope his form does not drop off as soon as he gets the dosh.

Ah, apologies. Very real concern. I suppose that is the job of Mr Moyes to ensure his man is properly motivated.
 
The stand you are describing should have been taken in the summer just gone. One look at what's gone on on the football pitch this season will tell you that losing Rooney half way through the season is not an option worth considering.

I agree and if Fergie had stayed then I am sure it would have been that way. The change of manager did put a different spin on things and I can also understand why Moyes has dealt with it in this way but the longer it goes on without a resolution, the worse position the club will be in.

Not sure really, he was well below his usual standard last season and apparently Chelsea were offering quite a bit less than £30million for him in the summer.

If he carries on this form it will be one of his best seasons at the club and we should be easily getting offers of £25million+, in which case we get a similar fee and also a fit/in form Rooney for a year.
 
Doesn't matter. Give him a 5 year contract, and then sell him the moment he creates ruckus again.

*willing to him give him one last chance.
Means paying off a 5 year contract though, if he doesn't ask for a transfer.
Saying that I don't think he is, I believe he is enjoying playing under Moyes again.
 
random bump as I just updated the OP to remove Vidic, Ferdinand and Fabio plus added Rooney's new contract

lets see where we are by the end of the summer ...
 
Two more seasons of Ashley Young... what in the seven hells have we done to deserve this :( ?

It seems the new manager will have plenty of time to assess the squad and make his decisions regarding who stays and who goes. I wouldn't give a flying rat's arse about the contracts expiring in the summer of 2015. Carrick is a special case and, no matter how important he is, where else would he go at 34?
 
OP updated: Evra extention, Giggs and Macheda removed

all those who were out of contract this summer have now been dealt with and we need to focus on those with 1 and 2 years remaining
 
Updated: Valencia extention, Herrera & Shaw signed, Buttner removed

Seems the club are building in a 1yr option to all contracts nowadays - I think this is a new tactic to avoid players having all the negotating power when they start getting to the last couple of years of contract.
 
I know another thread was posted but thought Id update this one anyway ...

Out: Evra, Bebe, Welbeck, Cleverley, Kagawa (also Lawrence and Petrucci)

In: Di Maria, Falcao, Rojo, Blind

Time to get the ball rolling with negotiations for DDG, as well as Smalling, Evans and Jones - all of which I dearly hope will be at United for the forseeable future. Especially DDG.
 
I hope we tie Lingard to a long-term deal, if only to add value, although I do think he can have a role in some capacity here. The other expiring contracts this summer aren't a worry, as we can activate Carrick's additional year at any and we simply have to assess Falcao over the course of the loan and decide if he's worth the huge outlay later on.

The following summer is slightly concerning though. We've barely heard a whisper about extending de Gea's contract, which is imperative and ideally, young players like Rafael, Jones and Smalling would have more years remaining on their contracts.

Hopefully we can follow City's lead and secure many of our key players on long-term deals like they have this season.

Ye not much to worry about for next summer - I'd say that DDG and Jones are priorities to get on new contract whereas Rafael, Smalling and Evans are probably playing for new contracts - that is as much a question of keeping fit as ability

I'd agree with this. DDG and Jones should be given new contracts as soon as possible. Lock them down. The other three can wait a bit, let them prove themselves in the next 6 months before we extend them.
 
Since another window has now passed, I have updated the OP

In: Valdes
Out: Keane, Anderson, Fletcher, Zaha, Vermijl
New contract: Lingard

As if Carrick is turning 34 soon. Doesn't feel that way at all.

He's a great squad option to have and you suspect he'll be more than happy to bow out here as long as he's contributing.

Will be due a testimonial, too. All in all, a fantastic signing.
 
Hopefully not..I don't think him and Blind can play together. Young is another one, had a good season, but was shocking for 4 years before this.

4 years? He wasn't 'shocking' in his first season here at all which was 11/12. 8 goals 12 assists and despite picking up an injury mid season he came back and displaced Nani on the left. He was largely rubbish 12/13 and 13/14 with a few decent outings, so 2 years not 4.
