so who to blame for all these high wage offered?
3-5x or even more wage hike. like Ashley Young had when he extended.
we offered Pogba a miserable contract, gave Januzaj a crazy pay hike.
give Pereira miserable pay, then again gonna give Rashford some crazy hike.
i am pretty sure e manager was e one who decided who needs to sign a new contract or not.. not woodward's call to decide who signs, stays or goes.. back when januzaj signed his new contract, everyone was praising e club as we managed to get one of our talents to be with us for a long time... not woodward's fault that januzaj has fallen out of favour with e current manager or not shown his true form this season..
also, dun think many players will accept a "lower salary" when signing a new contract.. and then there are other contracts like DDG signing his new one this season - is that a mistake too?
The point is he`s always been carrot head by all the other teams like a robert. Even those have not made it youngsters are being quoted at above 50 million, which other club in the world will pay ridiculous amount for average players with potential like Renato Sanches, Felipe Anderson. For those who have came, Fellaini fee is a rip off, so does Mata, Herrera. Even Martial fee is a ripoff in today's context.
On the other hand, established internationals who ah gaal moyes didnt like were disposed like a clearance sale. Kagawa n Hernandez 7 million each, Nani n Evans 5 million each, Welbeck 15 million. They are not on high wages all about 60-70k per week except for nani after contract extension. Can't remember who gave him the extension but don't even give chance for him to play
e overall prices of players in football have always been going up exponentially with e staggering amount of revenue that clubs can generate, so no surprise at the prices.. besides our splurge on martial (whose fee has a lot of performance related clauses), our purchases in e last transfer window all seemed to be quite reasonable when they were made.. italian n argentina FBs for 12 n 16m each? schweinsteiger for 7m? dutch POTY for 20m? soton's most impt player for 28m? all were okay prices.. again, whether they are living up to that price tag now is not woodward's fault
herrera was a release clause, so no choice .. n i think he is worth e money, provided that e manager trusts him.. mata was a despo buy by moyes to save our season.. i still believe that fellaini (and that entire transfer window) was a mess due to moyes' dithering (he die die wanted both baines and fellaini)
i was unhappy with woodward too at first, but after reading more about the situation, e more i am convinced most of e things ppl accuse him of doing wrong of are not his fault
as for e selling, we have never been a buy low sell high club - any players who e manager deems as extra we will help them to move on without much fuss.. imagine if we insisted on 20m for nani - no club would want to buy him n LvG wont play him, so we will have him sulking on e bench for most of e season
im sure van Gaal will enjoying walking away from the football scene as a failure
a big one.
that's why he came here on a mission to destroy United that's hated by all, so now he'll be loved by many.
i dun think its to tat extent la, but cannot deny that mourinho has more to lose n more to prove as manager.. i know that LvG wont want to walk away from e game as a failure , but i think he has tried his best but it is just not working for everyone at the moment
