Don't think we can afford 200k+ on a player just to have him on the bench...
Has this been confirmed?
Plus the fact that he was supposedly going to earn a big bonus if he saw out his contract.Indeed. You don't keep 31 year old high earners on the bench. It's ludicrous business practice.
Spending your last few years of a footballer in Istanbul while getting paid a lot of money doesn't seem so bad to me.He can do MUCH better than Fenerbahce. Lower the wages RVP and have a great end.

Without....
Last year it was 'medical for you, you and you too' now it's 'Turkey for you, you and you too'. Otherwise it's sad how his career is ending with us but it's understandable that he wants to play regularly and we need to trim the wage bill and possibly create space for a younger player on the up.Feck me LVG is not messing around
We're signing a striker this week if he does fly to Turkey tomorrow. I can't see us going on tour with only Rooney and Wilson as strikers.

We'll sign Kane or Muller to replace him I think.
Injured!Wish we had him at 26/27
Tbf he also has 2 trophies which noone else apart from Mata in our squad has: UEFA Cup and FA Cup. After winning the PL with us and playing a huge part in our title win all he lacks is a CL trophy, but that's a bit of a gamble and something lots of great players have never won.He has 1 PL title and 0 CL titles to show for his entire career. A guy like him is pretty much guaranteed to become a pundit once he retires so money won't ever be a problem.

That's been my preference for awhile. It's exactly what we need. Someone good enough to to take over from Rooney as the main striker in the near future.By the looks of the transfers being made and heavily linked with I don't think we will go for a big name. We're aiming at players with more potential and less reputation who would fit right to what we need. I wont be surprised if we go for Lacazette ie a young striker who has great potential but wouldn't mind to act as Rooney's cover for the time being
Yes he does but when he hangs up his boot, its the PL titles and the CLs that he and others will count. Juve for instance would have been a great option before they signed Mandzukic. Titles to be won there.

Would RVP agree to a transfer like this? I highly doubt it.
Don't even think about Muller. That's like hoping your parents will buy you a ferrari for your 18th.
I agree with devilish and others that Lacazette would be a smart signing if we sell both RvP and Hernandez.
Why are people so anal about Muller not leaving Bayern?? Its a football club not Fort Knox ffs
I think that Juve would be scared of by his salary. Also it wouldn't be a nice move for him at all. Its never advisable for a 31 year old striker to move to another top league especially with a team whose already got Dybala, Llorente and Morata there
