Perhaps not at the start of the season, but he's been arguably our player of the season, so if two clubs want him and one is prepared to pay for him, he'll go to the club that will pay. Watford would not need to pay much to outbid us.
I assume that Watford offered to pay Chelsea more than we did, and that we refused to match or exceed Watford's offer. If Chelsea didn't want to extend the loan, there is not much the player could do about it. Championship football with Watford or reserves football with Chelsea? Not a difficult decision for Cork.
Were you in the car with him, or how do you know what happened? The Daily Mail reporter is so sure of the facts that he doesn't even give his name. I remember A Times Reporter accusing us of a riot in Portsmouth when we were in fact being held back in the stadium.
Good thinking by the Club. We do better away from home, so the more Man United fans who get the chance to buy on eBay the better. I think the Club were forced to make general sale database only by the FA or the police. Selling extra tickets to season ticket holders helps get round that.
