Your broken record project fear hyperbole bores me.

What else should we sell a player for? Stock options? A packet of skips and a box of milk tray?

Yes we sold for money, and do you know why? Because we need money. Its simple isnt it, you dont need a degree in economics and capitalism to understand what went on here.

You dont become a selling club because you sell one player! Utter tripe, as usual. That is absolute nonsense. Parish and co have been s***e at selling players in fact with the exception of Bolasie which was a great bit of business.

Please google "selling club" to learn what the phrase actually means. We sell far too few players to qualify I am afraid.

If we are a selling club how do you explain us having the best attacker outside the top 4 on our books, head and shoulders above any attacking players at any team around us?

You cant, because your argument is the usual tripe.

As the limit of our ambition is purely to stay in the Premiership, then it comes as no surprise that we are selling one of our best players, even if the Moan U offer probably is too good to turn down.

Player power rules these days and whilst AWB has behaved impeccably, it is possible that had we prevented his move it might have affected his game for next season.

We are not alone - look at the talent that has left Southampton in recent years. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the money will be spent wisely, assuming it is spent. Fulham spent £100M and got relegated and the Seaweed pent £60M and none of those players featured toward the end of their abysmal season.

I despise the parasites that form the top six clubs, none more so than the show ponies that play at Old Trafford. Fortunately they have a manger that will be gone by Xmas, so little chance of AWB plating in the Champions League any time soon.

I was trying to think of the last time we sold someone who went on to achieve something. Ian Wright maybe?

I wish him the best of luck.

£50M for a right back who's played 1 full season is a good peice of business.

I'll miss his flying last ditch tackles. Although, I did have a few unpopular doubts about his ability. No doubt a really good player, but he seemed to give the ball away a lot, his positioning had a lot to work on but he got away with it because of his pace. I'd also question why he was so often found in the position where he had to make a last ditch tackle.

When Wilf left, there was a reluctance to let him go, but it seemed there was also some pride that we produced a lad who was expected to go on an achieve great things at Man U. The reaction today shows how far we've come and how far they have fallen.

Let's wait and see how he's replaced.

I’ve never heard AWB. Any links? Is he a bit street, ‘Know what I’m saying’ but not exactly that? Just irritating vowel sounds on ‘o’ sounds?

He’s not exactly Obama but in fairness that’s not what he’s paid for

Totally agree. Good business for both clubs.Gutted he is leaving but too much money for us to turn down and a right back is not the hardest position to resolve. I hope he gets to the very top as it would be great to see another youth product reach their full potential.

Hopefully this will mean we can play serious hardball for Zaha as he will be much harder to replace.

Good luck AWB, it has been brief but you are a player who will always be remembered. Best fullback I have seen at the club since Sansom and when Ashley Cole came on loan.

What's the betting that he'll be named in the next full England squad, now that he's a member of the 'right' club?

I personally think AWB has a lot of flaws to his game and could struggle under the weight of expectation.

He is going as the most expensive defender in Man United's history. Will the defenders there talk him through games, as ours do? Will the fans forgive sloppy passing & positional errors, as ours do?

He's a funny player is AWB. Snake-like speed in the tackle, wonderful control for a full back...and yet, and yet...something still doesn't convince me.

He may well make it. But I believe the Man U fans -- and players -- will need to forget the price tag. I hope they do because I don't want to see his talent wasted.
