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!

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.

You can't blame SP for Conor Wickham suffering such a career threatening injury or for Benteke falling out of form a whole year after he bought him

You heard right Willo. He is an awful football player. Championship level at very best.
There is no way we would sign him.

 

EddieMac Flag 12 Jun 19 11.01am

If United are willing to pay 50 million for AWB then we will have to snap their hand off. He is a good player but only has 18 months experience under his belt and he could be anything moving forward.

It is big risk on their part as he may not fit into their style of play.

Every team in the world loses their best players at some stage hence why their is a transfer market. If he goes he goes, he will be forgotten in 3 months.

I would love him to stay as he is a joy to watch but I wont be crying if he leaves.

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

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.
The most Effective way to see a return is to sell academy players for a f*ckload of money. AWB has a lot of promise, and I'm sure will be immense later in his career, but he is not yet immense. ManU are gambling 53m (reportedly) on this. What if the unthinkable happens and he has a career ending injury next year? Reluctantly I say cash in.

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. this only works, mind, 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.

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.

I agree 100%. He could do his cruciate next season and we are left with a dud. Cash in while he is hot.

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

 

Osvaldo Flag Epsom 12 Jun 19 1.32pm

At the very least 70m for Wan plus a forward player.
Lets stick out for the best deal, the big clubs do!
Forget the Everton couple, they haven't impressed much.
If Zaha goes, then it must be 80m plus a half decent player.
Would be happy to collect 150m for both, it must set us up for the future.
While we're at it, allow some of the players to go that just haven't made the grade. We can't wait forever for them to hit a rich vein of form!

 

Lyons550 Flag Shirley 12 Jun 19 1.39pm

i understand the sentiments of those that want to keep him...but for me RB isn't as critical a position for us as Winger / Forward...after all we still have Ward as cover.

People also need to realise that we're still very much a selling club and if we can make profits buying low / bringing through the academy and then selling for a profit then the club will be in good health.

If they offer £60m plus 20% sell on, we'll make more than enough.

i just hope we have his cover sorted BEFORE we sell though!

Are you sure you are a Palace fan?

What kind of dumb logic is that?
