He seems to just get on with it, no toys out of the pram, no moaning to the press. His agent seems quiet as well. His agent isn’t. Why do you think Fabrizio kept pushing it?

I don’t think people really get what this next move means for him; I think Rodgers touched up it that the next contract probably defines his children’s upbringing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordersfox Posted 10 August 2022 Share Posted 10 August 2022 49 minutes ago, GoonerJeeves said: I think he has gotten a bit in the shade of Saliba in pre-season. £50m got many people to raise an eyebrow too. My impression is that people see Saliba and Gabriel as our main pairing at centre back, but White can fill right back as well. Tomiyasu has been injured a lot, and Cedric leaves a lot to be desired So, I think most see his value, but perhaps more as a utility defender that can cover two positions. If you consider we had Mustafi at centre back, it is a brand new world for us.... All makes sense. Saliba was an absolute beast against Palace. Early days in the Prem of course but looks like a seriously good player. Re Mustafi...we're still starting Amartey so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he’s dealt with the situation you don’t get many professionals like him. The guy oozes class and professionalism. I honestly hope he gets what’s best for him and his family. He also must realize that he has put Leicester City in a very difficult position. The club cannot move forward until he leaves or commits & neither option is any closer. I realize he is a lovely human being but he is doing Leicester no favours whatsoever. Have we drastically over rated him because no other club seems to thinks he is worth 25m which is concerning.

It's his career, his life and his perogative of course but personally I would prefer a low level of professionalism and 60 million in the bank aka mahrez. Player signs contract. Player honours contract. Club doesn’t receive bids. What on Earth should Youri have done? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on Earth should Youri have done? If he had any scruples he would put in a £40m bid for himself if no other club comes in. He would then be a free agent and could join whoever he wants. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 10 August 2022 Share Posted 10 August 2022 Exactly. But given he's doing the buying I'd tell him the price is £60mill. See if he backs himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were selling him for £25m when he had 3 years left on his contract clubs would be all over it. But £25m seems expensive when he could be available for £0 in a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance to sign Saliba was a year ago before he went to Marseille. I think the ship has sailed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a bidding war on a free transfer as loads of clubs will be interested on a free so he most likely will sign for someone else. If they really want him they are in a market of 1 to get him for 25m now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isn't much interest in him from any club right now. Any club signing him will renew his contract anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many still don't, though Barca keep finding coins down the back of their hire purchase sofa! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be careful with trumpeting Arsenal as a template, but I think United really need to make a proper plan. They need to clear house. A 37 year old striker that cannot press cannot be the future. I think they need to accept that this will take time, and they need to stop making ad hoc signings....Arnautovic?! what are you thinking? Don't make the same mistake we made with Willian. The biggest challenge is probably that the fans do not have time, and the owners do not have a clue. I think they could be in the wilderness, comparatively, for quite some time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 The problem we have now is an unhappy player who thought he was off. Will he continue to go through the motions oe will he get back to his best. Arsenal done a great job of keeping him and us dangling, They're no longer a big Club since tha change at the top of the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely didn’t go through the motions on Sunday - best game he has had for us in a very long time - either he goes and we replace or he plays like that on lead up to the World Cup - I’m good with either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taupe Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 Why assume he's unhappy? Or any more or less than he was when outcast at Monaco? He's a pro, there's possibly an element of 'been there done that' at the moment for him (whatever "that" is) For all we know, he's quite chilled and biding his time. Personally, I'm not convinced an informal deal hasn't already been done. I don't buy into the 'nobody wants him' narrative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
