Whilst this is welcome news why the fack can’t we just sell our deadwood like other clubs can?

Well for a start hes on over double the top earners of Frankfurt and my Girona. Thats the first hurdle?

clubs are not going to match £150k a week wages for a player who most people even forgot existed.

As above - our best bet is to try and get a loan club to cover half of his wages.

I really hope with players like DVB and Sancho we put our foot down and tell them to either take pay cuts and leave properly or sit in the reserves. Sick of paying 70% of their salaries so they can have a jolly in Europe.

They have a contract. You cannot put your foot down unless they breach that contract with gross misconduct.

You'd be better of spiking their drinks and planting drugs on them, then sacking them

They've not played at all for how long?

The players are clearly being offered such drastic pay cuts it doesn't make sense for them to leave. That's on us.

What the feck are you talking about? I’m not suggesting we don’t pay them I’m saying we shouldn’t be paying them to play somewhere else.

Either they stay and get no game time and pick up a wage, or they go somewhere else and get paid less. Simple as for me

At an additional cost of £50k a week and certainty of no resale value?

Because whilst under long contracts our deadwood is unwanted and unaffordable to 99.9% of other football clubs.

See where they play, how they play, if they play.

Donny moving to a better team I see!

So they don’t play then. Simple as. Eventually players will get the message and it’ll pay off in the long run.

Why should the players take a pay cut though? If the club are stupid enough to give long, big, contracts to players then that's on them. Perhaps the penny will drop that it'd better to give them lower basic contracts but have more incentives there. If players don't want to join because of that then perhaps that's a bullet dodged anyway.

Hopefully the club and its football operation team get the message first. Stop buying overrated untested and overvalued players for ridiculous transfer fees and to ay them a fack load of money every week after they get found out.

All this shows is pound for pound, Utd are by far the worst run and the most stupid club in the world. More money than sense. When a club makes the same mistakes dozen times over and still doesn't know what it was, you know there's no hope.

Sorry for Beeky, was having his best game for us when he got injured. And was a proper pro.

The problem is United clear out dead wood and then buy more dead wood. Circle of life.

They’re entitled to do that, but we shouldn’t pay them to play somewhere else. If they want to play they take the cut

I guess the club may get some kind of loan fee or help with the wages and/or they hope the player does well and we get a higher fee off the back of good performances.

Come on it wasn’t hard for him to be “having his best game”! He was out of his depth from the word go!

So you would rather let a player rot in reserves, on full pay, than go out on loan, where you pay part of their wages and where they will get some game time and possibly put themselves in the shop window. seems odd.
