I think we must hold out for 150m.I hope they don't count Lingard as a youngster anymore.
In any case, this just screams sour grapes. "We don't want him to stay anyway, he spoils the yoof". Looks like we will cave in and sell him, just hope its' north of 100 million pounds.
And the media will add his dog and cat fees. Then whole world will go mad at our club for spending this much on an average fb. It has become a trend in recent times. God I miss Sir alex era, although it was boring transfer windows atleast these journalists didn't create shit stories like this.This will end up being 40m+ 10m in more realistic add ons.. and it'll be reported as a 70m transfer.
Wow that's crazy. Granted I did not watch a lot of chelsea last season but whenever I did, he never looked that good. He was pretty good some seasons ago but never understood why would a barca be interested in signing him.
Coutinho went north of 100 mil and no one in their right mind would say that he is as good as Pogba, so we will be just fine. Madrid can either pay up or feck off.Hazard is on another level to pogba.
Pogba is staying not worth what is being asked transfer sum wise
Griez money?If this is true, Atletico have gone mental
Jeez what do everyone see in willian. Chelsea are not willing to let him go and barca chasing him like crazy and now we have athletico also joining this race.
Pogba commands a fee in that bracket because of things beyond football.Hazard is on another level to pogba.

In 2018 he was listed as the most marketable athlete ahead of supposed French poster boy Mbappe and the in-form Anthony Joshua.
Just pay up and move onto the next one ffs
Hell we didn't cave for fecking Darmian. Why would we for our most valuable asset with three years left on his deal?I hope they don't count Lingard as a youngster anymore.

Didn't we bid £40m for AWB already?
Ed Woodward been at the Peter Griffin school of negotiating
We bid £40m cash.
Now we offer £35m cash and £15m addons.
I think it is a good offer tbf.
Not how you run a business.FFS, just pay the f****** asking price Woodward, you knobhead!
These comments always amuse me. We have an entire team working on these things and multiple negotiations going on at the same time. It's not get A, move onto B, get B, move onto C.
Maybe the add-ons were winning the CL
Well depends on the add ons, if it's something like 5 mill for winning the UCL in the next 5 years or 5 mill for winning the PL in the next 3 years, Palace will have serious doubts about that dealWe bid £40m cash.

What does he seriously offer? Last season he featured in 31 games, scoring 5 goals with 2 assists. I think we always need to be grounded with young players etc. but do you seriously think Mason Greenwood or Angel Gomes would so much worse having all that game time?
Not to mention the other issues; he’s on the wrong side of 30, one of the higher paid players etc.

It's a football business, another club will come in and pay it then we are left with no player and either pay over the odds for another player or become an every worse team with the shite we haveNot how you run a business.
I can see him coming out with the ''I can achieve my career ambitions here at WH. I would like to retire at Tottingham'' by 1st week of July.
Honestly think we should ship him out asap to any club other than Real Madrid for a large fee but, more importantly, with the mother of all sell-on clauses attached.
The sooner we accept that we're too far behind City & LPool (through our own mistakes) to catch them next season the better. It's now about planning for ~3 years down the line, how we can get back to challenging, which players are/will be good enough and how are we going to evolve tactically. Planning that around players like Pogba (who wants out), Lukaku (same), Sanchez (shit) and sadly DDG (running down his deal) etc is pointless and we might as well shift their huge salaries as soon as we can.
Typical Woodward deals. Fair enough he likes his add ins but when your desperate like us you just need to pay the money.
He's got a stronger Instagram following than Manchester United do.Does the marketability factor always translate to good return of investment in general for players ? I mean , it goes without saying if he's a world beater but when your career trajectory includes seasons like the last one , shirt sales and sponsorship aren't going to just keep up does it ?
Does nobody here have a problem with us spending £40m or more on a right back?
Considering:
- we just bought a right back last year
- we have young prospects coming through
- we have so many areas to fix on a limited budget
- there are cheaper alternatives at right back surely
