The (hopefully) new owners will put in place the right people to negotiate transfers.Penny wise, pound foolish, as they say

Sell to who, Ben? Feckin Aquaman?
We cant sell something/one we don't own. De Gea is out of contract, and we are not willing to trigger an extension on his current wages. At the moment I think de Gea is waiting to see who we sign, and if de Gea is likely to be number 2, he will look elsewhere. If we struggle to find someone and end up with a young inexperienced keeper, de Gea will fancy his chances of being number 1 and will stay.Just sell him

Broad terms were in place, but there's no formal offer yet to de Gea.
This is poor from the club.
All signs point to us bringing in another goalie. We want DDG to stay and to sell Henderson and then have DDG and new goalie battle it out for number 1. DDG going might change us getting rid of Henderson. Or we might need to get 2 new keepers.Doesn't bode well that the club in their wisdom doesn't even see value in bringing genuine competition for him, even if he were to stay.
Seeing that there are rumours of a Saudi deal for him. So that could really be the only other good option for him.It’s quite telling that he’s out of contract in a couple of weeks and there’s no rumours about anyone being interested in signing him on a free transfer. I’d say that puts us in a healthy negotiating position which could allow us to reduce his salary by quite a bit and save upwards of £10m per year in wages.
A lot of of reports have said we will look for someone to compete with de gea if he signs a new contract, makes it sound like it would be a cheaper option than if he leaves.

Not surprising then that we've enacted Heaton's extension to ensure we have a number 3 keeper in place.
Sure seems that way. Getting rid of his reported 375k/w contract would free up approx 20 million a year, allowing us to sign a goalkeeper for £50m at £175k/w in terms of FFP.Seeing that there are rumours of a Saudi deal for him. So that could really be the only other good option for him.
He's not gonna get a chance to be number 1 at another top club with his recent record.
Does this mean we're losing the race to sign KMJ?
Not if we're signing someone who is replacing him and he was destined to sit on the bench all season. I just can't imagine we're running our transfer business efficiently with the ownership hanging. That is poor.This is poor from the club.
If he’s not wanted, let him know and let him know early so he can find a club.Not if we're signing someone who is replacing him and he was destined to sit on the bench all season. I just can't imagine we're running our transfer business efficiently with the ownership hanging. That is poor.
Love the hysteria around summer transfer windowLooks like the players Manchester United were linked with when the season ended are joining other teams. Mad to think the Felanni transfer wasn't a one off, it was setting a standard for united transfer policy for the next 15 years.
I think the part that states he doesn't want to be backup means we have told him he won't be first choice. Rumors we have asked him to take a serious pay cut as well which further supports him no longer being first choice. Sounds like the decision is his.If he’s not wanted, let him know and let him know early so he can find a club.

I recall seeing reports he had a contract offer several weeks ago around the end of the season. Who knows.The report says we haven’t offered him a contract.
This all feels a bit like the Pogba situation where there was an offer on the table but deliberately structured in a way where the player won’t accept it.
Would rather we were just blunt enough to not bother with an offer at all but it feels a bit like a PR game where we’re trying to avoid being the bad guys.

Adisa's right, but peridigm isn't 100% wrong. There was no formal contract offer, but United did offer de Gea broad terms to get an idea of where he stands. As of now, it looks like de Gea himself is playing the waiting game.I recall seeing reports he had a contract offer several weeks ago around the end of the season. Who knows.

Cus ours is shit and probably hasn't changed a drop since Fletcher himself came through?The feck is he doing sending his boys to the city academy in the first place? Sack him.
