Ducker is usually good for that.Now it's suddenly 560k a we were paying.
And obviously we've paid a chunk to get rid.
Was waiting for a journo to try and paint us in the most mug tastic light.

I'm curious, do Chelsea fans consider him to be their club legend?
He's 37 in Feb. Odd signing for Everton if true. He got into the PFA team of the season under Carlo though.
Interesting to hear that.Legend is a bit much. Drogba is a club legend, Zola is a club legend, Ivanovic not really.
Smalling not included in Roma's Eurpa League squad. Hmmmmm
If its true the difference in where each club valued him was about £3m. United playing hardball and making a stand whether its £3 or £3m. I can't see either club budging at this point so it looks like he's coming back to Manchester.
We'll prob still sell him now but who is going to pay the estimated £18m. Maybe another Prem club?
Evidently notWe had some leverage (namely Inter badly need him for Europa league, and Alexis badly wants to play).

To use him. Obviously. If Inter don't want to pay something...anything. Give me one pound ffs
Didn’t they just agree to sign Vertongen anyway?Smalling not included in Roma's Eurpa League squad. Hmmmmm

James Duker is Woodward mouthpiece. Trying to soften the blow of letting Sanchez go free.
His wage is just too high for someone who would effectively have been a bit part player here as Martial, Rashford, Sanchez and Greenwood are all ahead of him. He would have been a reference point for any key player looking to renew his deal and that would have hurt us more.Tbh, i would. I don't buy that shit that player is finished when he hit 30. If we can't sell him and earn some money, i would take him. He can be useful on several positions. He is still a good player. Better than some our current backup options. And in january when Ighalo leaves, we don't need to buy another striker.
what's the evidence that they fecked up the transfer?Woodward/Judge fecking up transfers is not evidence of anything.
"MUFC Nightmate"
"Pay Off"
"£560k/week"
Some of these gobshites shouldn't be allowed outside their bedrooms unsupervised, let alone get paid to share their opinions with the educated world outside.
Not sure but when you break the contract, aren't you supposed to pay up the bonuses even though they won't or wouldnt have been achieved. You're effectively taking away his chance to earn it all so it becomes due ?Now it's suddenly 560k a we were paying.

I doubt Grealish will be targeted after Sancho now, at least not this window. If there’s still funds of £50m+ available after Sancho and with the sales of a few players I imagine we’d prioritise a centre midfielder or centre back.
Believed he deserved first team chances ahead of Rashford & was very vocal about it, was brought to train with the first team & attitude was so bad he was told he wouldn't be brought again & then refused to play or train for the u23s & told the club they needed to cancel his contractin what way?
You love how people can speculate on an Internet forum about transfer speculation? That’s nice.I love how people can confidently say with their chest, how they believe the club will run their transfer business without any proof that either will happen.
Disagree. Ole clearly trusts his squad options in McT and Fred at CM more than he does Perreira, Lingard and Mata at AM. CB possibly, but I still think Grealish would be preferred.I doubt Grealish will be targeted after Sancho now, at least not this window.

Supposedly, the Glazers wouldn't loan Rojo to Everton because they considered them a rival for a Champions League place. So, he'd likely be sold to relegation candidates like Aston Villa or West Brom, if they can afford him. Personally, I'd sell him to anyone.Smalling not included in Roma's Eurpa League squad. Hmmmmm

Oh I agree I certainly think he trusts McT and Fred far more than those 3. But I think with Sancho we’d now have 4 players (Rashford, Bruno, Greenwood, Sancho) for 3 positions and if needed Pogba could also play further forward as well.Disagree.

What blow?
WTF? What an insane and entitled attitude. At Manchester United! How did he get away with such during his formative youth teams?Believed he deserved first team chances ahead of Rashford & was very vocal about it, was brought to train with the first team & attitude was so bad he was told he wouldn't be brought again & then refused to play or train for the u23s & told the club they needed to cancel his contract
Voodoo? Am sorry am African and we have some sort of ways in dealing with seemingly impossible problems.What’s your solution then?
WTF? What an insane and entitled attitude. At Manchester United! How did he get away with such during his formative youth teams?
Well that attitude has certainly gotten in the way of his development, he probably also burnt alot of bridges in the process and the fall from grace is a huge slap in the face. It's all now up to him.
Agree with that! I suppose (assuming we secure Sancho) most of us would concur that CB, DM/CM, AM are the positions we need looking at addressing this summer and next. Matic definitely did slow down towards the end following that slew of games, and McTominay looked far from convincing in that role. Be interesting to see what happens that's for sure. The reassuring thing is we all have a degree of faith in Ole seeing it much the same way we do, which is obviously the correct way!!Oh I agree I certainly think he trusts McT and Fred far more than those 3. But I think with Sancho we’d now have 4 players (Rashford, Bruno, Greenwood, Sancho) for 3 positions and if needed Pogba could also play further forward as well.
He seemed reluctant to rotate Matic when the pressure games were piling up so I wonder if he would prefer another replacement in that area rather than a 5th player for those 3 spots.
Just to clarify, I would personally really like us to target Grealish as I think he’d be an excellent signing.
Who are you talking about there?
Looks like Smalling hasn't been registered for Europa by Roma as they won't honour the fee we agreed last year. If it's likely he heads back here I'll be over the moon. Genuinely think he could be a better partner for Maguire while Mengi develops.
I know hes marmite on this forum but I look forward to him coming home.
Hes not the worst signing in our history but he was absolutely the worst deal by a country mile.
I reckon it was the slap in the face the ownership needed though. Had it worked at all better, Bale and James would probably already be here
I know that Sanchez dislike is huge here but this is not a good deal.
1) Sanchez is not a shit football player. He is a still good player who we just gave for free
2) We send a message to other buying clubs how we will do everything just to get rid of some player just because of his wage.
Conte should be knighted if this got pulled off. Is he a closet United fan ? He sure loves his United deadwoods. Will support him anywhere he goes after this except other PL teamsWell sure we might be giving him a huge severance package worth more than Sancho will cost, and paying Inter 13m to take him too but at least we'll no longer be paying his 1bn per second wages that we foolishly agreed to! Though maybe by tomorrow James will have decided we're paying half of that too.
