And after all that effort West Ham will price him out of a move and waste his best years there. If he goes to West Ham he should insist on a manageable release clause in the £50m range or he will be stuck there.

Neil Custis claims that PP would stay it RR is the manager next season.
A manager he's not even played for yet? Aye seems legit.
Complete rubbish
More like he realized our offer is the best he's going to get.
Gross salary of €5m. Divide that by 52 weeks of the year and it works out as €96k a week.
Very excited by him and I think he'll flourish under Klopp. May not see the best of him this season as he adapts to the league and our system, but he should be ready to go in August after a few months experience with us and a full pre-season under his belt.
Or.... he might be shit. At least that's my hope
The fact they can’t even get the day right about when we play doesn’t inspire confidence in the story
“The 28-year-old is due to return to action for United on Thursday February 8th for the trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League.”
Always suspected he's perfectly happy here being allowed to play in 2nd gear but get trophy winning wages.
Over the last two and a half years he's started 41 games in the PL. At nearly 29 it would be insanity to give the guy a long term contract, even stupider than the one they gave Rooney when it was obvious he was on the downward.
Exactly what I was thinking.I will look forward to actually seeing him play.
Indeed. A loan move (without a buy option) makes perfect sense. Ole didn't like him and Ralf doesn't seem to either, but it's quite possible that the new guy in the summer will want a match fit Donny around (I think Pochettino was previously an admirer and obviously Ten Hag knows all about him). He needs football though.
We should tell him we’ve lined up Mourinho to manage
We seem to be happy with two options for each position based on whose going out.
GK - De Gea, Henderson
CB - Varane, Maguire, Bailly, Lindelof, Jones
RB - Dalot, AWB
LB - Shaw, Telles
DM - Matic, McTominay
RCM - Bruno, Mejbri (McTominay if Matic at CDM)
LCM - Fred, Pogba
RW - Greenwood, Sancho
LW - Rashford, Elanga
ST - Ronaldo, Cavani
By and large I think that’s a good idea with 2-3 youngsters to mark up numbers when there are injuries. It should also mean a good amount of playing time for everyone who stays.
I just worry about the midfield like everyone else. Pogba has had injury issues for 2-3 seasons. Bruno is a machine but if he got injured McTominay is decent at getting forward but has none of the passing skill that Bruno does and Matic couldn’t play every game at DM. On top of that our youth option in Garner is already out on loan and I don’t think Mejbri, Savage, Iqbal etc are ready at all.

I assume lingard will be a substitute for Bruno in case.
Everton would be more likely to buy him this summer you’d imagine - so I’d send him there.
The midfield is woefully light. Mjebri will not play significant minutes so for RCM back-up and DM you've really only got Matic and McT. We really need one, if not two midfielders.
Yep, I would have thought he's needed far more at Everton than at Palace. Frank coming in at tge same time might be able to sell it to Donny.
But not good enough for us apparently…
Well, Juve probably sell Bentancur for €25m and then replace him with this guy for €5-6m. One squad player for another.
Been saying for months we should be in for Cash quality player, works tirelessly in attack and defence..
He’s great in an attacking sense but defensively quite poor.
No he’s not, defensively very good just has made the odd error but name me a PL defender who hasn’t.
Think he can be a big player for Everton. Hope you get him
The odd error loads of times stops becoming an odd error.
Make us an offer. Any offer and he’s yours.
Their medical staff must be thrilled.
It doesn't really make sense though as they're currently cutting their wage bill like there's no tomorrow and I would imagine Sir Phil would be on the very top of that.
