Pogba would be absolutely brewing if we brought Dybala in and we made him the 3rd highest paid in the squad.

We would defo give Pogba a new contract anyway
I agree, but he doesn't have much incentive to sign one if he wants to leave.
Italy has a €100k flat tax on all foreign-sourced income, yeah. His "basic wages" paid by Juventus are subject to regular Italian taxes but e.g. bonuses for international tournaments and, more importantly, image rights payments can all be made subject to the flat tax rate which is absolutely peanuts for a guy like Ronaldo.
Our recent expenditure and wage structure doesn't indicate that. We have too many average footballers who don't warrant the huge contracts they are on.
Who exactly is this person?
Can you really blame him Martial on 250k, Sanchez 500k, I don't think 300k is outlandish.
Doesn't even provide a legit source, just says The Times but doesn't prove it.
I have subscription, can't find anything saying his name from this year.
how can every other club in the league be showing more ambition right now?
We are a complete joke. Everton buying Kean............ ffs
We are a complete joke. Everton buying Kean............ ffs
Righto, cheers for specifying, knew there was something in there.
The guys behind us, Everton, Leicester and Wolves show ambition to enter the top 6. While we dont care and think we will be in the top 4 anyway. This season could be quite explosive
The huge concern is the end of last season and the complete dry spell Rashford had during it. Overall as well, 10 goals in 33 EPL appearances is way, way too few. He misses a lot of opportunities.
Stating the obvious: because the footballing / transfer side of those other clubs isn't run by a clueless accountant pretending to be qualified for the job of an executive of a top club in Europe.
We literally can't buy anyone until we sell someone. Also, since when is Kean any better than Rashford?
Wonder what the buy back clause will be (if there is one), IMO it has to be at least double the amount otherwise whats the point of buying kean.
If Everton get Kean and Zaha they will finish 7th
I’ve learnt from lurking that sensible posts are frowned upon here (hence my newbie status) so there’s that.
Honestly though, I didn’t and forgot to consider NDAs which would most definitely be part of a manager’s contract, especially one at a club this big.
But of course that hasn’t stopped people from including such content in their autobiographies. And LvG and Mourinho have egos that I expect would ignore NDAs. Oh well!
They are showing more ambition. They have upgraded to a player who is probably as good as rashford. Before they had no striker on that level. That is showing ambition. We shouldn't be on par with Everton for gods sake.
Also I don't care send the useless players to the reserves and force them to find somewhere to leave. The likes of Darmain and Rojo are stealing their wages.
Kean is not as good as Rashford - he might be at one stage, he is not now.
On what basis? There's no guarantee he will do anything close to Rashford in this league. Would happily bet Rashford will outscore him next season.
so they target arguably the second best LB in Europe?
Guess start as you mean to go on
Your being pedantic at this stage. He is seen as a player of very good to great potential the same as Rashford. He is a huge upgrade on what everton currently have. They are showing great ambition in comparison to us.
Thats fine yes there is not quite the proof but my point was more he is one of the most exciting youngsters in europe and everton are showing the ambition to pick him up. We are not.
Well by all reports they will have a buyback clause in the deal, so not that ambitious. We'll have a better squad than them come the end of the transfer window, signing Kean won't leapfrog them above us.
Ambition is just a buzz word until the deals are done
Agreed.
I think we all need to be realistic this season and let Ole get on with getting his ideas across
Definitely. It's a shame our clueless board can't get rid of the "deadwood" players. We have 26 first team players that need registering at the moment, whilst the PL allows only 25 (that doesn't even include the young ones who don't need to be registered).
Those numbers for Dybala are wrong
He makes €7m a year after tax. That's £120k a week. That's roughly £240k a week gross.
Exactly. 7 million is reported by almost all the reliable journalists. All of a sudden Marcotti comes up with this nonsense, good chance he is the one who got confused with net and gross wages.
After both a Striker and a winger.
Are people not sick of repeating this. What we have is a multi billion dollar international juggernaut of a football club, with one of the most successful financial models and a CEO whose day to day routine are taught at top business schools the world over ( and a masters in physics)
I think many people, including the board, owners, managers, scouting department analysts... make the decisions attributed to Woody. It's not like he goes around watching YouTube videos deciding who to keep/ buy.
I find it amazing how many people are clueless on the whole subject.
Struggling to understand that your point is. We came 6th last season and have not really improved the squad. Who cares whos d3cision it is. Its a mess.
Woody isn't a clueless accountant who is pretending to be qualified to lead a top club. It s the sporting side of the club that is suffering, blaming the CEO, who also answers to owners and the board, is not enough. I was disagreeing with the post I quoted, what you have said is of no relevance, but I agree
Why do we care how good he is in accounting? for us and the most important he is s**t at football and he is taking the sporting decisions. He is the Glazers dog and do exactly what they ask him to do, and have zero interest in the fans and what they wish for the club.
