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

He has a three-year contract and if he wants to leave, he can refuse to sign when offered an improved one.
Only then would we sell him at the end of the coming season.

Right now, only a ridiculously big offer would tempt us and even that would be a mistake in my view.

£60M will be a price high enough to let him go. Even in the crazy world of the premier that should be enough to tempt SP into release.
But the truth is we are going to need a decent backer to take us forwards. £250m will be enough plus the sale of Wan to improve our fortunes build the new stand and keep on the incessant team building merry go round

Hopefully we can keep AWB but if crazy money is offered it would be hard to turn down! I'd push for Fosu-Mensah to be part of the deal. He is coming off an injury but at least it would give us an immediate replacement (albeit not at quite the same level) to begin working with. I can't see him getting any more chances at United but still think he has bags of potential. Plus he is obviously familiar with us as a club.

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 has already came out and said he doesent want to leave Palace and will be a palace player next season ( more than what wilf has done ) so if he does get sold it will be down to the board or an offer to good to refuse imo , dont go Arron . We love you

 


oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.

Nah we want that Luton town full back as far as I’ve heard

 

jeeagles Flag 10 Jun 19 9.36am

Fosu-Mensah plus £50m wouldn't be a bad deal. Could still go for Clyne or Boyle plus cash left over to bring in other players.

 

Daddyorc Flag Atlantic Highlands, NJ 10 Jun 19 11.36am

Fosu-Mensa isn’t good. He was average at best while here and same for Fulham, ward is better than him. So why? Just because he’s man-U?

Are you serious? He is hopeless.

I don't want to see AWB go, but, I don't feel him leaving would be as bigger impact as say Wilf going. The reality is I see AWB's rise as a bonus. I do feel he is a case of fortune favouring him. If Ward hadn't got injured then he would not have had a run in the side and his development radically improved with his exposure to first team football, probably greater than anyone at the club imagined.

If we received silly money for him, around the 60 mill mark I feel this is a fair price for a young player, and importantly a home-grown one (which is important for those clubs looking towards European football and the squad registration rules they have). We probably won't get a player of AWB's calibre as a replacement but could afford to take a player at a slightly lower level than him and it not be massively detrimental. We are being linked with Jonjo from Everton for example. 60mill and we could get a reasonable replacement for 20 mill in my view.

 

The Beger Flag Croydon 10 Jun 19 4.21pm

This rival fan writer makes a good point.


"Wan-Bissaka is 21. He has proven himself in the Premier League and would be a great signing for United this summer. Woodward should look at like for like signings over the past few years. Kyle Walker to Manchester City cost £53 million, and he was 27 at the time. Benjamin Mendy, a left-back, signed for Manchester City for £52 million two years ago – he was 22 at the time of the deal. It’s time to show us this ‘financial power’ that Manchester United has, Mr Woodward!"

I am not a bot. No, seriously, I'm not.

Maine Eagle Flag USA 10 Jun 19 4.33pm

If we can get 50 mil for AWB we should bit their hands off.

It allows us to keep Zaha and bring in a couple of players.

He is a class player but Zaha is more important to our fortunes. If Zaha is definitely gone, then keep AWB for another season and groom a proper replacement.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Yes I am . He's not perfect but considering his age and verstility, with the right coaching I think he'd be a solid purchase with good upside. Sane said he was the best defender he played against during that season he was with us. Yes granted he didn't have a great season at Fulham last year but I think any defender would have struggled in that team.

No because he's still young, has a lot of good attributes and is versatile. If an exchange was to happen then we'd at least have one option immediately available to compete for the position. We would also then not be held completely to ransom by teams knowing we have no right back but have 50m in the bank for example.

Those are my reasons.

Obviously I'd rather AWB goes nowhere though.

No. It sends out a signal to other players that we are still not a serious club. Money is secondary.

He is not good enough. No United rejects thanks.
I'd reject all but the most insane offers for AWB. He is our future.

Agreed. AWB is a great defender, almost shut-down on the right, but he's mediocre going forward. 50mm is a great price for him and I'd snap it up. We can do some really nice transfer business for that price, maybe get 2-3 solid players from international clubs.

 

Ginger Pubic Wig Flag Wickham de L'Ouest 10 Jun 19 6.06pm

It's that scary thing of having to trust how we'd spend the £££. And I don't.

I'm not as much of a fan of AWB as others are, though. I think his passing is only ok and I have a real hunch he'll struggle more defensively next season.

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Not sure how you think hes mediocre going forward. He didnt get forward much until the last few games, but when he does, he looks like Wilf. I think hes been told to stay back and be careful about venturing forward.

We are a serious club but we have to be realistic as well... We don't sell that many players and there is no never ending pit of money... £50m for a lad who cost us nothing and has only played a season and a half is to good to resist in my opinion.

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Vaibow Flag vancouver/croydon 10 Jun 19 11.43pm

If we can get 50 million this summer, it could at least give us the opportunity to say to wilf we cqn invest around 60-70 million for a europa push, stay with us.

If not, still sell him, sell zaha and overhaul the squad with 100 million.
