Casemiro is 32 and you get jack **** for £40m these days. Greenwood is also still a good player and has been linked to plenty of clubs abroad. £20m would t be silly at all. AWB is also still a brilliant defensive RB for the right club.
I would have said that those figures were pretty accurate or even a little conservative.
Sorry, my bad. I was reading an article about Kroos and had 34 stuck in my head.
Those clubs abroad don’t have money to fling around though, that’s the problem with Greenwood.
Again clubs are looking to move away from defensive style and play more attractive attacking style, even when getting beat managers and coaches are coming out saying they won’t change their style. He’d be awesome back in the day but the games moved on. Maybe that’ll come back? Who knows.
No one is paying 15 million for a cdm that cant run and is injured more often than not, especially a cdm on 350k per week.
Completely agree, find it a bit insane that to be honest. It’d actually be better to just let him go for free and get his wages off the book!!
The figures are not designed to be auditable. It's fag packet but I also sense checked with
Transfer Market so they aren't a million miles off. Rather than just rubbish the post why don't you offer something constructive.
The idea was to list players who should be moved on and in the context of how much United would need to spend to replace them with prospects. Prior to the legal trouble, Greenwood may have been worth £50m and he's had a credible season. PR aside where else are you going to sign a proven goalscorer who is 21yo for less than £20m?
I've listed 15 players which shows the size of the task and most of the online fan channels seem to be in the same region.
They don’t factor in wages though, I did try to be constructive by giving reasons why they were miles off.
Greenwood could have hit 30 in the league this year in Spain and Utd still wouldn’t be able to touch him. Imagine the backlash if they did. It’s an awkward one but he’s never playing at an elite club. It’s all well and good saying he wasn’t found guilty and sure if he worked down at the local that’d be fine. We’re talking about one of the biggest football clubs in the world. You just need to look at the Rubiales case, Goodwillie etc
It sounds ridiculous to say it when you actually type it out but women aren’t going to stand for this type of nonsense in the western world anymore.
They are mentioned in the article.. and also, no one gives a **** about man city
This is also an issue that United face more than other clubs, problem only Liverpool that are similar with being in the media spotlight which just further cements the position of not being able to take Greenwood back.
