Earlier there were a lot of posters who didn't fully get the issues with just selling off our squad players with higher than deserved wages. Here we have the entire issue arising, even if United accepts a bid it is up to the player to accept half the salary all of a sudden and playing for a worse club.
That's not true at all.
He's on about 30k here which isn't a lot and according to papers such as the Telegraph he's asking for 60k when transferred. According to one source linked in this thread he asked for an absurd 80k.
This isn't at all a situation in which he's being asked to half his wages. No idea where you have got that from.
money grabbing idiot 80k per week, he should be taking a pay cut and getting first team football.
If the reports are right he wanted 80k from Villa I hope he gets NO games.The reality is we've signed a bunch of players we're looking to play CM.
Ander, Di Maria, Blind
And we're not in the champions league or league cup, so there wont be games to go around for people like Cleverley
If he stays its to get a handful of games this season

Seriously, he's going to rot in our reserves and be a lesson to youngsters that think with their wallet.
It's probably in the back of his mind that he's got games at United recently and he'll probably get them in the future if he ends up staying. I can't see us having such an injury crisis again.
Herrera, Di Maria, Blind, Carrick, Fletcher and probably even Anderson still ahead of him. Time to grow up and grow a pair.
I thought he was on more than 30k actually. Still United's wage structure that makes him consider himself worthy of 80k rather than something less. If Valencia/Young/Shaw are getting those figures I see why he'd overrate his values.
His staying... Out of everyone gone. Him and Anderson should have been the first out.
Bang on! Anderson is making me feel violently angry with his presence and so i'd like to take it out on Toms whiney face! Seriously though, Kagawa and Danny leaving and those four remaining is insane!OK, I've always stood up for Tom, but he's starting to piss me off now. I know it's not his fault, but Nani, Shinji, Hernandez and Danny all going while Cleverley, Anderson, Young and Valencia all stay makes me feel a bit sick.
That's where he and his team have got it wrong. Apparently that's a lot more than Ron Vlaar is on at Villa and he's an established World Cup level player. So you can see what Villa were thinking.
No doubt Villa are in the right. We seem to have abandoned the idea of a wage structure at all and Bayern deserves so much respect after our debacle this summer.
Crazy how Shinji, Chico and Welbeck have left but the deadwood have managed to survive.Don't forget Fellaini. And our chuckle brothers Valencia and Young. How they managed to stay, I'd never know.

Don't get the club's stance. Why keep Clev on the wage bill when he's likely to leave on a free next summer? May as well have Everton pick up the tab for the next year, rather than pay him not to play for us and lose him on a free anyway.
They probably wanted us to pay half his wages or something. Anyway we might need him now.Don't get the club's stance. Why keep Clev on the wage bill when he's likely to leave on a free next summer?
