yes id take that also if they throw in Timmy and waive Wilfs sell on fee.

 


oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.

Beginning to look serious eh. My honest opinion is AWB would be making an error going to MU as they are a club in disarray at present, should stay for 12 months.

How far we’ve come in the last 7 years eh! Potentially selling a home grown full back for north of 40 million and still being confident that we can push on without him! I admire everyone’s positivity but personally I think we’ll suffer by selling him ... the lads class.

Losing RLC & Cabaye end of last season is evidence of this ...

Ward is solid but not the answer ...

 

davehuggins Flag 09 Jun 19 4.38pm

Agreed with that but the fact remains if he wants to go we should not stand in his way IMO. Let's be positive and look for a solid replacement. Sure he would be better staying for a further 12 months MU in a mess right now

The problem for the top 6 is clubs like Palace no longer need to sell their best players to survive. The TV money has seen to that, unless a clubs wants to sell they have to pay over the odds.
The key objective for Parish and Freeman is to get AWB to sign a new contract, I believe he is the lowest paid first regular on £15,000 a week, but his contract expires 2022.

Fosu-Mensah wasn't a regular for Fulham last year. Useful cover across the back but we would need a first-choice right back

Some reports online saying it's agreed but working on the fee.

It amazes me that people still believe click bait.

He won't be sold for anything less than a massive fee, if at all.
What people fail to grasp time and time again is that all that money for our top players is no good to the club as that money will not attract a similar replacement. We are not exactly Real Madrid.

Selling top players for a club like ours can only mean financial desperation and the acceptance of relegation.

Not if the money is invested well in other players. A big if, mind you

United are gagging for Wan-Bissaka. English, ties down a spot for a decade, relatively cheap on fee (cf e.g. Fred) and wages (cf any of their players) and Southgate probably won't tire him out/get him injured in summer tournaments. Is he up to 100 million yet?

No, because having money and attracting top players are not the same thing.
I doubt we could bring in better than what we have in any position because you are up against fierce competition for every player. We could only buy more players to increase the options for certain positions but that would not improve the first eleven.

There are gems out there, trouble is finding them and to be very honest our record of late has been nothing short of disastrous.

If AWB wants to leave IMO we should let him go, why keep a player who is unhappy and not being focused on playing for us. Just my opinion, I think our players, on the whole, seem very happy with good morale.

On the other hand, how about asking him to repay some of the faith the club has put in him thus enabling him to become a professional footballer, or asking him to honour his contract?

He won’t be going in the 2019 / 20 season, unless someone pays a massive fee. Let’s face it Ole Solskear the manager will get the Spanish archer before Christmas from Man United...

If we sell AWB we need to sign a very good and quick replacement either on loan or permanently, as for me Ward is just far too slow for the PL these days. Positionally he is great, but teams know he is vulnerable if you just push the ball past him. If you look at PvA he is good on the front foot but teams exploited his defensive frailty recognising how strong we are on the right. If we end up with the same situation on both sides then we can wave goodbye to our defensive solidity.


Another factor in this is that I think Zaha's ego would struggle to cope with seeing a teammate join a big team, especially one as green as AWB. If he goes then I think Wilf will also push harder for a move. This in turn could turn into a domino rally with Sakho also pushing to leave. Hypothetical of course, but also very possible.

Indeed. I said this months ago and quite likely to get to Wilf seeing AWB go higher.

Other than that not being what I argued, you are correct.

United, of course, are likely to be a prime example of this without being able to offer CL. Wan-Bissaka may well be happy with a six fold rise in salary and Europa Cup action after one full season in the Premier League
