Has Rashford really dipped that badly though? I dont think hes anywhere close to Alli levels of failure, looking at Rashfords numbers alone last season wasnt a bad season for him also taking into account hes been a part of a broken Man United side.

That specific player has a contract until 2025, he likely wont be leaving for any less money than hes already on until his contract expires.. unless hes really motivated to try and revive his career which I doubt as he would have left Madrid a year ago if that was the case. You're right though, he will most likely drop down when he does leave but there are also plenty of examples of flops at that sort of age moving to clubs and remaining on big wages still. Also I wasnt saying that he'd get a wage rise anywhere at this point, would be mental if he did.

This will make that move a no go imo, this summer when it comes to buying younger players from foreign leagues I think we’ll mostly be looking at players that currently earn somewhere around 50-60k pw or below so we have room to offer at least double their current wage without smashing our own wage structure. He looks a player mind.

If Burnley beat Watford and Everton lose to Chelsea you've gotta think that will be pretty much it, 6 point gap with GD

Alisson Pickford forever mugging himself off

What a great afternoon this has turned out to be

Divock

Pickford cannot handle the heat in games vs us or Liverpool, small minded little weirdo loses his head without fail

Origi the scouse mackem slayer

YES

Such a gross cunt

Pathetic this, ref is a waste

Everton are doing their best to play like rats and drag this game down to their level

Gordon looks like the sorting hat would instantly say 'Slytherin' for him

I swear Lampards bald spot gets bigger with each game

Juicy, that

And Liverpool have a chance to demolish Evertons GD a bit more, its a good day.

Van de Beek must be feeling pretty fucking stupid right about now..

Thats a shame, I remember a couple years ago he was meant to be a big prospect. Wonder what went wrong there? Has he had injury issues?

Nah thats not my thinking at all, nothing to do with the way Ashley ran the club. Im looking at how Howes tried to change the culture around the place since he came in and the amazing job hes done with it, hes got the team and fans feeling united for the first time in a long time all credit to him. The best way to fuck that up in the dressing room would be to bring in players on big wages, Bruno is on just over 100k pw if the reports on that are correct so I'd say somewhere around 120k this summer will our limit. I never moved goalposts I only said 200k as an out of reach example Like I said im happy to be wrong, maybe Eddie and co think we can push the boat out already because of the great work hes done so far with the players he might feel that its doable which would be a big step forward. We'll see soon enough.

Yeah im aware this is common practise in football, players obviously will get an idea of what other players make at the club though. I think the Messi Barca comparison is a bit different to where we are right now lol, just out of interest and for the sake of it - hypothetically say we get offered Benzema this summer but he'd want 350k pw, do you think we'd say yes?
