Getting 30m for Rojo is a great business as long as we're not just signing Magiure and be content with that for this summer.

Hopefully we learn and start giving giga salary for average players.
 
I do wonder how accurate that is. But even distant lost in translation versions of that make me sick. Between that and the waving the wallet around about our transfer might, its pretty unsavoury stuff coming from our executive. And I'm surprised more here aren't disturbed by it. Too busy putting pins in their Jose voodoo dolls I suppose.

Anyone who believes klopp or whoever his biographer is needs a thorough thrashing. That’s 100% something someone would make up in order to fool people because “it could be something Woodward would say” because he once said “Watch this space” and “we can do blah blah in the market”.

We aren’t selling Rojo without getting someone in, most likely Maguire.
 
Vrsaljko on loan to Inter for 6m€. Inter have a buy clause of 17.5 m€
 
Yes, terrible idea to end the transfer window on 9th of August, especially on a World Cup year, but didn't we know that months ago?

Alex Sandro, for example, was not at the World Cup, we could have finalized this transfer ages ago.

Excuses for dithering with fees all summer.
 

"Rojo, who earns more than £120,000-a-week, has not linked up with the rest of the United squad in the USA..
United would be willing to sell a player they bought for £16m from Sporting Lisbon four years ago if they receive a bid in excess of £20m..."
 
£30m for Rojo would be an excellent deal for us.

The fact that the high wages of our players makes it difficult to sell them on will hopefully make us more cautious about offering silly wages in the first place.

I get a feeling that Sandro deal depended on Shaw. All the links with Sandro stopped once Shaw rejected a move to Everton.
 
How are Smalling, Young and Jones still here....from the time Fergie left. It's baffling.
 
£30m for Rojo would be incredible. It'd make it our 3rd highest sale of all time behind Ronaldo and Di Maria.

Perhaps, but that would be even more frustrating if true. Either you count on a player or you make him understand that he is not valued anymore.

If Rooney didn't want to move and sat on the contract we would never buy a striker?

You don't expect to sell to buy. You are real that you are going to buy because you have to improve, so that your players who sit on the contracts will realize that and take the decision to look elsewhere, otherwise their career would be going even backwards.

I would only accept that if we relied on net spend. But come on..
 
I get the need to balance the books and bringing in a CB while we still have 5 senior ones at the club is overkill but our net spend thus far this summer is basically Fred. Guess the Glazers really have tightened the purse strings again

wasn't it 160k a weeek in a different outlet? shows what rubbish it is
 
Rojo story surely has legs? I like it. One average player out. Darmian to follow.
 
That's actually shocking.
It really is, we don't tend to sell our best players that often. In recent times no one wants to buy our players due to wage demands, or we keep them for too long and devalue them.

Schneiderlin is our 4th highest, Depay 5th, Welbeck 6th, Blind 9th. Quite a group of players :lol:

If Utd are happy getting 20m for him they could just drop the 30m asking price to help Everton use the difference to cover his wages.

So that’s my concern , even assuming Klopp is talking out his yellow teeth face hole , there’s some pattern to the kind of things Woodward is saying. That and the incessant settle for 4th rumors.

More than anything, the mindset of this American ownership is really clearly not to be the best from a sporting point of view. A couple trophies sprinkled with CL money will do the trick. The brand is big enough for complacency on average with a Big Bang signing here and there.
 
It's taking so long to get rid of two average players - just accept whatever and get them off the books already.
 
Whoever said that obviously isn't following football!

Jones in the current market would be minimum £40m.

English international with plenty of Premiership and some Champions League experience.

Only 26.

To be honest if he played for anyone other than United his mistakes and injuries would probably be forgotten and he'd be worth approaching £60m
Wise up! :lol:

I'd bite your arm off for £20m with Jones.
