Surely it's in the new contract that China must have a national holiday on Yaya's birthday so that nobody forgets?

If DDG refuses to sign this new improved deal, we need to swap him with Oblak as soon as possible.
I don't post non-league news. I stick to league 2 and above.
Geez, talk about elitism.
Not sure about "ideal" - if his contract is up next summer then we'd be selling him at a significantly reduced fee.
Makes it easier to set the value of the clause when it was negotiated back when.
Who would want him though. Madrid have their keeper and psg seem to be buying Donnarumma
So he is the FA-Cup and you are the Carabao Cup ?
£70-80M for Maguire is madness
Not buying a centre half last year was madness. Paying over the odds for players is expected the way we've done business the last few years. We deserve to get pissed about.
More briefings today by Woodward. Meanwhile Leicester sign one of the best midfielders in the world for 40m. You just know they've got a Maguire replacement lined up for 20-30m as well.
Hopefully we don't sell Pogba. He's worth more to United then ~200 mil. and because of the long contract we can keep him for at least 2 more years. Madrid and Juventus can both piss off.
Not a bad offer but we don't need Dybala.
Unsure how Tielemans is one of the best midfielders in the world after 13 pretty good games for Leicester following a couple of years of average performances. He's a good prospect, certainly not one of the best in the world.
That's actually not a bad offer in my opinion
Can we get him, whoever he might be?
Exactly. If there is a chance of having him sign a new extension, I find it mental so many posters are advocating for him to leave right now.
Not our style. We'll wait until he moves to Leicester or Spurs and then becomes a 100m player before we bid. Not sure who the replacement will be (If i were in charge of these things, Bristol City's Adam Webster would be the top target, maybe Nathan Jones of Stoke). But they'll sign him for 30 or less, and he'll be worth 60m in a year or two.
I think the issue is the wages. He's already rejected 350,000. What kind of player rejects 350,000 a week when they want to stay? We might get him at 400,000(!) a week, but then any new player coming in is going to see two declining players on 400,000 a week and see they can take United for a ride.
Fixed.
These Italian clubs can feck off with these offers
Not worth a penny more than 250k a week.
Why do people keep posting Nicolo Schira, I have no idea.
I always thought that he wanted to leave not because of the money but to be closer to his GF and to win trophies.
Should be the highest paid player at the club, as he is our best player. Dont know why people cant see that. It is not his fault how much Sanchez earns.
A lot of our targets are those kinds of players though? Signing before they break out fully. Hell, look at Daniel James.
I think he is rejecting offers up to this point because he believes, justifiably so over the last 5 years or so, that he should be the highest earner at the club as he is consistently one of the best players, if not the best. The wage itself isn't the issue in my opinion. In addition, I think he may well be worried about the current state we are in, and whether or not we are going to be challenging for the major honours in the forseeable future. I just don't see it being as simple as him being very greedy.
Agreed 100%.
And I do have some sympathy with that position. The De Gea of the 2017/18 season was the best goalkeeper in the world. If he had negotiated then he would have got more more money. Now, he seems to have declined. He's still a fantastic goalkeeper. But it's no longer impossible to see him replaced by someone just as good or better in the future. If I were him, I'd accept what United offer knowing that every other scout has seen his decline.
Why would we keep him if he's going to hold us to ransom and demand huge money. He has turned down 350k per week, that's insane. That would cover wages for two top quality new players.
If DDG and Pogba are going to demand ridiculous wages to stay (and having Sanchez on the wage bill also) how are we going to afford new players, we don't have a bottomless pit of cash.
We need to put an end to this madness and have some sort of wage structure. We struggle to move players on because we are paying them way more than they are worth and they won't get wages like that anywhere else.
Given the end of season he has had not sure why we want to keep him no matter how much it costs. Sell him now while we can get a fee for him.
Over the last few years sure, by far our best player.
Going forward though all I see is a goalkeeper who plays in what's quickly becoming an outdated style, who relies on his world class reflexes to cover the gaps in his game.
The most recent half season of form has also been really below his usual standard, with his type of goalkeeper known to generally decline earlier than your VDS types. I think it's fair to be worried he's on the decline.
I think we need to be smart here and really assess whether he'll be worth the money in two years time.
He had been around the same time as Tancredi but there was an amnesty for some reason and a bunch of crap accounts like Schira and Tancredi were allowed to be posted again.
By that logic Luke Shaw should be the best paid player, or one of the top paid players. And Sanchez the lowest.
De Gea was very poor at the end and would have been dropped had there not been injuries.
His performance hasn't merited a pay rise let alone a huge one.
I think the board should think the time has come for underperforming players like these to go.
