Any decent team needs pace both ends of the pitch which leaves us with Van Aanholt. No thanks. Also teams who don't concede are the ones who stay in the division. The idea of taking the £50 mil and punting half on an unproven attacking player to balance the books isn't exactly progressive or ambitious. Couple of friends are Fulham ST holders and a think the likes of Seri are crap. i posted this yesterday... pardew 15-16 51 conceded all this were getting relegated if we sell AWB is utter clueless bollox. our best season defensively had a back 5 of... wayne we will be just fine!

The PL has got better since then. Do you seriously think that Souare and Delaney are as good as Van Arnholt and Sakho or Tomkins? Ward better than AWB? Behave.

Yes and conceding those ten more goals under Pardew and Allardyce nearly sent us down. Needed miracle wins away to Chelsea and Liverpool and Sunderland to do us favour against Hull when they were already down.

Admit it, we all knew it would get done. Kudos to SP for holding out for maximum value.

Agree. An excellent fullback , don’t think he will ever make a great wingback though. He will never make a CB he can't head the ball to safe his life.

I’d take £50 million and Joel Ward at right back again.

Selling AWB isn't a shock suprise - any decent club will be looking at all options and i would say about a month ago the club would have started to look for replacements just incase it happens. Negotiations happened with utd and awb over a week ago - so the club hopefully was scouting. AWB has had one season with us, he didn't keep us up...the team did and i have no doubt a replacement will help us stay up too. The AWB money should... should convince wilf to stay one more year, reinforcements should please hm and the club will have been improved - moving forward.

How long do you reckon it’ll take for someone on a breakfast news programme to refer to AWB as ‘the Manchester United academy graduate’ or ‘to come through the Manchester United academy?’ That will more than likely never happen but it will be utterly shocking if it does, the world might freeze over with such disgraceful behaviour.

Anyone know the structure of this supposed deal? The last offer was apparently 35+addons making it 50m I thought we were wanting more of the 50m up front. If it's 40m up front then 15m addons, it may not be so good - and will give us less ability to spend... It really doesn't limit ability to spend all that much. More likely than not, we'd be able to get a bank to advance us that money if needed on the assumption that we'd get it from Man U eventually. Equally, we could just structure our own deals for new players similarly with deferred payments into them.

Better to have then money and Spunk it, than never to have the money at all
