Tonalis Bookie

The Turkey striker in the Euros is closest ive seen to that kind of pest with pace

"im not going to england unless I get what I want" in other words, if he doesnt, hes off. Thats how I read it?

I remember being about 16 and somebody coming in and saying to me we have signed some French bloke as Zenden turned us down and being gutted. Then growing to have Robert as my favourite player. I think 3 of my top 5 are French!

If you knew the ones we decided not to go with you'd be shocked

agreed on this last sentence

There are clearly many reasons, why do you think we flew to AC Milan on the day. It wasnt for the good of our players, it never is

As I have said a number of times on here, the Ashworth situation wasnt what it seemed, nor is Eddie. He nailed Ashworth in public for lack of commitment and hes putting out mixed messages rather than appeasing and committing to what would be the right image for the club, even if he wants to leave hes taken the chance to shoot at the new structure

and here comes the mass panic

wonder where he will find a spot for his nephew?

If we have been as silly to discuss his name without prior consent from the agent, then its a big error and he would be right in being a little angry

radio

Talksport saying MCFC register interest, great lads, 120m + grealish + Ake and we can talk

leave your emotions out of this

everyday the amount we could ask for was reducing, the right thing has been done. Hopefully the agreement listed our main targets with an agreement from MUFC that they would not approach these for 18 months minimum

A nice Swedish team mate for Isak

When I was working in the game it was both. I left 2019

No player in their right mind should ever do this, you forfeit your signing on fee

Yes, they do

search dazzanufc1892, you can see my posting from 2009 if that helps. I had to delete that when the new FIFA regs came in place that are now defunct. You may like them. I know being the scenes issues, if you did, you'd see we have an elite Bielsa issue going on

It may be in the contract but it comes down to 'reasonableness' - on average reasonableness is about 6 months. If he made NUFC aware of his intent to leave in January. by June he could be free to go. Any compensation owed will also be limited by time passed and gardening leave conditions / reasonableness. If CAS say 2 years is too much, maybe its a year, he will have already served a number of months and we might have 4 or 5 months of finances owed then, to which out 20m is pointless. So we could lose out on all our bargaining positions for a few mil. On Ashworths part it isnt great, but it's a job end of the day. He got the chance to go to a bigger club at a great time where he isnt financially hamstrung. Without fandom most of us do it, its business sadly and MUFC have a strong position when we look at it that way also - From manchester so United is a given sadly

Let me lay a few points out that we need to consider and how it benefits us by doing a deal If united are smart (and they will be) they'll have applied to CAS and they will probably get their way A CAS hearing could be expedited and he be in place before the end of this window If we go to CAS and do not win, we have a precedent against us There is a significant chance we get much less than we want It may well void a number of terms we currently have We may actually end up losing out on what we could get and damage our own FFP We may not be able to hire an individual in place of DA whilst hes here If we deal we can delay a start date We can also implement terms on players that can & cannot be recruited as part of an expedited agreement We can protect information and hire a replacement quicker We can insert terms regarding any staff or other individuals that MUFC may wish to get from us We have the ability to control the situation going forward All of this so United potentially wait a few months is damaging

This really doesnt take into consideration any of the actual consequences, intricacies of player movement or issues we could encounter by not doing a deal. Believe me, we should deal

FWIW, a deal suits us more than united, some of the comments here are vitriolic to the point they would rather us damage the club than do a deal.
