Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Can fully see us accepting the loan offer with option to buy, we seem to love giving our players away for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeepShow4life Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 You just know that Pope will get injured and we will be stuck with Darlow in goal. Hope they have a replacement lined up before they let him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Couldn't give a fuck one way or the other. We should tell them to do one in all honesty, but we don't really want an unhappy player stinking up the place. At least if he leaves it will free up a squad space for one of the hungrier players.

wormy Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) We need an up front or guaranteed fee out of sheer principle from these cunts. Any other club I'd be wishing Dubs all the best but I'm afraid he's drawn the gaze of the one club that I don't want us dealing with unless we have them over a barrel.

Bimpy474 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Should charge them £20m avoiding relegation fee, good for the goose and all that, inflation taken in account. Or we could tell them to fuck right off, along with the other 5 cuntish clubs who tried to have all the money, and decide who joins they're little mob. Man Utd, fuck the sanctimonious shitheads.

Big River Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 really quite poor from Dubs, this. I know it was reported as a knock, but are we safe to assume he refused to play against Tranmere? absolutely no chance we should be loaning him out, never mind to bloody Manure. stick him with the U23’s if he’s being difficult. we don’t owe him anything.

Let’s not make such assumptions eh? Regardless of anything we shouldn’t be doing Man United any favours especially given how they played hardball with Lingard last season. I would only let him go if they matched our asking price and if it’s a loan it has to be with an obligation and they pay a premium for such a deal.

Kid Icarus Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Yeah, I said it at the time of signing Pope but if he's resigned himself to being number 2 and has no fight in him it's shit tbh. Add to that that he now wants to go and be a number 2 somewhere else so he can play a few games in Europe then it says a lot about his character at the moment. He owes us nothing though, he's been great. Likewise though, we owe him nothing either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @madras has pointed out above, there must be a loan fee involved as well. I'd make sure we can get every penny off them after January. They're splashing the cash left, right and centre and if they want an international and proven PL keeper, then they need to pay up. I also wouldn't have Darlow as first choice backup keeper.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 As has already been said, my biggest gripe is it maintains Darlow as our second-choice keeper. If Dubravka goes, we need to try and move quick for a number two. He’s not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It's just a shit situation really. I can understand Dubs wanting the move even if on paper he is technically going from one number two to the other, but it obviously weakens our squad, strengthens theirs, and minimal financial gain for us as well. As others say, they're splashing out 150m on two players so surely they can afford 5m for a player who could play up to 20 matches for them this season. He'll no doubt be back to us in 12 months, a year older, less resale value, pushing 35, and we're left with Darlow for cup matches and if Pope gets injured / suspended. I wouldn't really want him rotting with the U23s for a year, and causing a stink, but it'll be equally annoying if he leaves for a year for next to nothing.

gdm Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I mean we have 4 keepers and one has to go. There doesn’t seem much interest in Darlow. I imagine he’ll end up going with a few million loan fee with the option to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Just echoing other people's comments, Man United should be made to pay the serious market rate. We don't owe anyone any favours here that I'm aware of. Open-minded to a backroom deal which sees them compensate our club in other ways. Dubravka could seek a move to many other clubs, he can't suddenly become an overseas Man U supporter overnight and break his contract with us for free.

Ok Dubs wants to go but you have to sell to then use the money to buy a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we have one too many and Howe’s opinion of a back up keeper may differ from others. Personally I’d rather have Dúbravka but just looking at it from how the club might view it. If Dubravka goes there isn’t a chance another keeper comes in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
