We should definitely look to take a player as part of the deal. Dalot or Fosu-Mensah would be fine for us. It would then mean we don't get held to ransom when trying to buy a replacement. £50 mil plus one of these would be great business. I have heard that he was very unimpressive at Fulham last season.

Finally, a real football fan. The idea that money will make up for seeing him in a United shirt and playing against us next season makes me puke. Some of our fans should just stick to playing Football Manager instead. Agreed, and frankly I don't trust SP to use the money received wisely; we don't want another Christian Benteke or Conor Wickham!

I have heard that he was very unimpressive at Fulham last season. Maybe the environment didn't suit. Who knows. I thought he did OK when called upon when on loan with us and is still young enough to improve. Ward is solid enough, but we need to start lowering the average age in the squad and losing Aaron clearly won't help in that respect.

if he goes and we use some of the money on michy and keep Zaha and play them as the front two like last season it doesn't matter who plays right back we will I think be looking at top ten Exactly, Right backs are replaceable

I'm confused reading this Thread, So, we haven't got enough money to pay for new players wages, but we have got enough money to give awb 100k per week ? I'm all for keeping him, but the hard truth is that a football club needs to be run as financially viable entity nowadays. Clubs like ours have to walk the fine line of ambition and progression by selling players on to generate income, in order to buy 'upgrades'. Then, the more success you have the More money you generate outside of player sales and the less you need to sell players. the only was this works, mind, is if you have a decent scouting system...... Great post,clubs like us have to live within our means and buy young players or bring them through our brilliant academy and sell them for a profit. The only way that changes is if we get a multi billionaire on board.

Seconded ,Plus Id much rather see him in a palace shirt next season than a manure one . At the bottom of HOL Home Page is a post from Old Trafford Faithful(weblog) @ 11.35am. In it there is a mock up picture of AWB in a Utd shirt. They claim via a SUN exclusive that he has asked for his 'dream move'.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Stick to the £60M. No less! It's pretty obvious when everybody is pushing in every single way to force the selling isn't in our interest but theirs. All the press tactics are in place don't let them fool us. AWB is a wonderful player but also a nice and clever boy...COYP If it is 60 million that they are willing to pay then they are paying well over the odds for an unproven player. In comparison Van Dijk cost 75 million
