st albans fox Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 (edited) The salary numbers being mentioned in the media are crazy .... perhaps Harry had knocked them back and they came back with a knock out package .... a bit like they did to get Sanchez ahead of Man City A world where Man Utd have to convince the player he should leave us for them before they begin to negotiate seriously with the club over a fee ......,of course that could be where it falls down but you would think that if those numbers are correct then they will find the fee. I hope we don’t get a situation where Harry requests a move to drop his value and the inflated package isn’t simply a reflection of the consequential lower fee.

ARM1968 Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 At the end of the day it’s all about the package and the attractiveness of that package to the player. No one really wants to play in China, but the money is too good to ignore. Same here. Football is a job and just like any job, if someone offered me double or triple my wages I’d move to them in a heartbeat. Loyalty means nothing but to a very few. If he goes Inwish the Slab well.

roblcfc84 Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 I’ll be honest Bailley (assuming fit) and Pereira plus cash would be a great deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if you are a material person or spiritual, to some the money isn’t the be all end all, United have been such a negative club in the past 5 years , it shouldn’t come as a shock to see players choose to remain somewhere heading in the right direction.

Spudulike Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 Claims that Man Utd have also offered a player plus cash for West Ham's Diop. Could the un-named player be Pereira ?? West Ham have turned the offer down according to reports. Probably all bollox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyfin Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 (edited) Was it not once said by a certain Leicester City manager that Leicester City fans had "delusions of grandeur"? Well it seems nothing has changed! Leicester City to the greatest football team in the world is a sideways move? Just wow.

Rusko187 Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 I don't know enough about Pereira, if our number one target is Tielemans then is he actually going to get a look in? Or actually needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wracked with internal disputes, an inexperienced manager, & with their star (& most expensive) player telling anyone who'll listen that he wants to leave, they are not the Club they once were by a very wide margin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 Thing is, Man Utd are up the sh*te at the moment, but they are not going to be so indefinitely. They will recover in the next 5 years or so (I am assuming) It wouldn't be his best move for short term success, but its fair to say that a project at Man utd could be a more compelling project than at City unfortunately.

Dont see that myself .. Citeh is the place to be and having to wait 5 years (your guess) to compete with them, in a footballers relatively short career, is silly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc-1992 Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 Man U fans seem happy to let us have Bailly as part of the deal. Is he that bad? I’ve always thought he was one of their better defenders when fit but I didn't watch much of them last year so might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 18 June 2019 Share Posted 18 June 2019 Pereira is an interesting one, we have been after him before as have Celtic when Rodgers was there. He is a very classy central midfielder who i'd happily have here but not at the expense of Tielemans if we can help it. If we were to " allow " Man Utd to have Maguire for a cash + player offer and they also nabbed Tielemans then it would be frustrating. For all of this to work, we'd need Silva to be off which our best chance is in the Tielemans deal, as well as moving on King, James and possibly Mendy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, just cannot imagine they can continue to be so sh*te for too long. Huge club, but it will start to hit them financially at some point so even the Glazers would have to wake up and do something about it. I see what you are saying about the short career, but even though he is now a starter for England, it would offer further guarantee of that if he played for Utd or some other perceived big club.

Absolute joke. United clearly cant develop their own players so want to try and send them on loan to us for us to develop whilst driving the price down one of our players. If that is actually what they've offered (could be bollocks paper talk) then if i was Rudkin id tell them to piss off and their embarassing bid means there will be no deal this summer between the clubs.

Think we would try and get both youri and another midfielder who can play when maddison or youri are injured or if maddison plays left wing. Pereira could definitely be a player who fits into that squad player who can fit in and provide more than what we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
