Jackie Broon Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 16 minutes ago, woody said: I feel like the major issue will be wages at NUFC vs accepting something elsewhere with a newly promoted club. Then again, Colback is a starter for Forest so I may be wrong. I think there will be plenty of interest for the players we're looking to shift. We don't really have any Rodwells, our unwanted players pretty much all will be seen by other clubs as being good solid pros who aren't quite up to the level we're aiming for. We might have to subsidise some wages a bit but I think there'll be plenty of takers for all of the players we want rid of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 6 hours ago, ManDoon said: Exactly that, its so hard to judge attacking players. Sancho was one of the best players in the league and he has not replicated it at Man United. He's been used terribly at Man U mind. He was always at his best when played as a pure right winger. Both England and Man Utd seems to have been obsessed with shoe horning him on the left. His best attributes are his pace and crossing/passing, both of which aren't as useful as a right footed player playing on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great on the right when he had Hakimi making overlaps 20 times a game. After Hakimi left Sancho played on the left loads. With Guerreiro behind him Sancho had to do lots of the defending too as Guerreiro is rarely interested in that sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a chat with a mate earlier and it's interesting that the best players in the world are all well into their 30s. De Bruyne is comparatively young in many respects. Interesting to see the impact sports science is having on the game now even from 8-10 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the treatment of injuries and the science behind physical preparation has improved immensely. Also, younger players in the top teams face more difficulty in establishing themselves. That could mean that some of them don't get over-played, and reap the benefits later. Examples of the reverse are Rooney and Wilshere. I watched a bit of the tennis yesterday, with Nadal at 36, outpacing a good 25 year old opponent in Zverev. Who knows what's possible in the future.

Guest Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) What is actually involved when it says ‘continue talks’ anyway? How far beyond, ‘will you accept £5m up front and £15m instalments’…’how about £10m and £18m instalments’ can these things go?
