There is absolutely no way if we'd offered him 150-200K last season he wouldn't have accepted. Especially if we'd done it before the Sanchez transfer. That would have doubled his wages. There is no forward thinking at this club, it's all reactive.

It's you who keep talking about Woodward.
You replied to a comment from pexbo about not holding it against the club if we don't offer Herrera a contract. I meant to reply to the original comment, but couldn't find it, so replied to yours. This has caused some confusion I think...
I agree that offering Herrera a long contract now isn't a great idea. But neither is losing him on a free.
He's a big lump, that's for sure. I can not see us paying 30m for someone who's made 7 starts this season. Played RB last game as well.
who?
Was about to write the same thing
Yeah, I don't think a long term deal is ok but hopefully we don't end up losing him either.
How many starts did Martial or Dalot have? I can see us doing it, don't know if hes any good though
He looks like the next Kimpembe.
Concretely?
Very true. I think the last “best of the best”player they signed was Bale wasn’t it? I may be wrong of course. Still, they have been quite successful in this period, so you can’t knock the strategy during that time. It’s just run it’s course now I guess.
The source is Le 10 Sports, which means it's most likely rubbish..
Pity it wasn't them reporting on Herrera to psg
Watched a bit of him recently and was quite impressed. Tall, strong, quick and composed on the ball. He's not the best ball playing CB but functional. Somewhat similar in play style to Milenkovic.
"United will rebuff any approaches for Marcus Rashford or Paul Pogba....Both players have been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid but United are in talks with striker Rashford over a lucrative new long-term contract and midfielder Pogba - who claimed last week that it would be a “dream” to play for Real - has over two years left on his existing deal and an option on the club’s side to extend that by another 12 months.
Dortmund are adopting a hardline stance over Sancho, a leading target for United. The Bundesliga side are insistent the 19-year-old will not leave this summer and it could take an offer of around £100 million or more for them to even countenance selling."
Solid rumour
Still scared we'll buy Bale. I don't trust us.
I would love Rakitic though.
Where? United? God no!
Why? I think he's brilliant, though, I haven't seen much of him this season, admittedly.
I can't handle an entire summer of Bale rumors.
Rob Dawson: "United are willing to open contract talks with the 26-year-old this summer to secure his future...
United explored the possibility of signing Ivan Rakitic from Barcelona as Pogba's relationship with Mourinho deteriorated but interest in the Croatia international has cooled since Mourinho's dismissal..."

He is still class on his day, but Barcelona don’t let many players to hold them hostage. Especially when they have exciting young MFs ready to step in.
Thought that's exactly what gambling is.....'risk'. Lottery is gambling right?
Not exactly. There is no judgment in a lottery, its random. Where as there is a high degree of judgement applied in taking a 'gamble' on a player.
This is a joke.
"... the success of Solskjaer and his coaching team in tightening the defence means United are now more likely to invest in a new right back or central midfielder..."

I doubt that's true, our defence has major issues, we regularly only have 2 fit CBs with Jones, Bailly and Rojo always injured.
This place. Im sure you are familiar with the term and not literally. My point is irrespective of whether there's a degree of judgement or attempts to predict the outcome, the outcome of transfers in not a science. The outcome of transfers is a lottery cause the outcome is completely unpredictable.
Instead of a buying a new CB we gave Jones a 100%+ payrise for being able to stay fit for 6 games. As soon as he signed he went missing again. This club is run like a joke. Woodward thinks he is protecting his assets when in reality his assets are dross who dont deserve to play for this club. If this summer is anything like the last then fans need to take action. A club like United shouldnt have to make do with what they have at CB so they can direct funds to sign a midfielder. They should sign both.
Absolute joke if we don't bring in a quality CB.
Its not a lottery although there are risks involved, I believe thats what the other poster was trying to say. Lottery is the wrong word, thats all, I agree with the overall point.
was our budget for a new CB £50m in the first place- Status
