That’s the normal rule but in this instance we have to balance what they will pay us against the fact we’ll lose that amount by not selling. I assume we have deals lined up for replacements- hopefully we’ve identified players that are still achievable late in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 The sort of player UTD should be building their team around. Right attitude, skilful, creative - everything they need. if I were a man UTD fan I would be seriously concerned. They are beyond a mess and rife with internal divisions. Will take Ten Haag at least two seasons and 4 windows to fix in my opinion. Meanwhile they could enter free fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 Can a manager fix man u's problems? They are a global brand, not a football club. Summed up with recent link to Marko Arnautovic which they only pulled the plug on due to fan power. CR7 was a terrible signings last season. They consistently make decisions which are baffling. They spend money on shit consistently. It's a mess of the club and the money men own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everfox Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 If he goes for free next summer, his status at the club will be tarnished. We gave him a chance when no one else would, nurtured him and helped him become the player he is today. Leaving for free would be like spitting in the face of the club that saved him. I've got no respect for people like that, hopefully he makes things right before he leaves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn’t they wait till late in the window, tell him to tell us that he won’t sign a new contract and will walk on a free next season and then I’d say it’s likely we accept a pretty shit deal.

Bless that would be the same Leicester City owners who walked away from a West Ham deal to buy Sllimani costing them £20 million because they didn't like the owners.

taupe Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 Youri will have a value to us. No idea what that is or how it'll be calculated (think in terms of league position with and without for instance, and there will be other factors) Below that value, Youri stays. We'd rather have him go on a free next summer than go now for less than that value. That value does not change regardless of where we are in the window. However, that value can possibly be offset by finding a replacement. The later we are into the window, the less likely it is we are able to sign a replacement. So, yes, as suggested above, the price will effectively go up as deadline day is approached. Further, it makes no sense for a buying club, having identified a so-called crucial target, to leave it to the last moment and risk shooting themselves in the foot. How much have Arsenal spent so far this summer? Are they going to play silly games over a comparatively small sum? No, either Youri is not hugely important to them and maybe only a nicety if they have some quids left in the kitty, or their interest is bs. Personally, I reckon he''s off next summer on a free - and probably not to Arsenal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he will stay though. Even if he does not sign a new contract, a fit and firing Youri could be the difference between 10th and European spots. If he can get us anywhere near then it will be worth as much if not more to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that does leaves us light for that position. just wish Praet was given more of a chance. As a player, I like him.

Certainly not a top 6 material midfield. On form, he and Maddison are streets ahead of the rest of the midfielders we have imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he’s a very good player on his day, but last season showed why he isn’t playing for Man City/Liverpool etc…imo From what I see KDH has one thing greater than Tielemens - passion Edited 11 August 2022 by fox_favourite 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time in 3 seasons he has had a relatively long break. Form is temporary, class is permanent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t sell him for £15 million, but I’m not running the show. Couldn’t replace him with a £15 million player - so no point. I think we will though. Just saying.

Ric Flair Posted 11 August 2022 Share Posted 11 August 2022 To let Youri run his contract down we'd need to secure European football or finish 10 places higher with him than we would if we sold him (£15m transfer + £5m in wages), I'd personally take the money and try and reinvest it before the deadline or at least line something up for January as next summer is going to be a very very challenging and frenetic transfer window for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
