Saint IQ Posted 8 May, 2015 Share Posted 8 May, 2015 They've both got loads of money so we'll be able to get that much I reckon or 15m with add ons even with Clyne having 1 year left. Must be more than just Utd wanting his services as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redslo Posted 8 May, 2015 Share Posted 8 May, 2015 What we need to do to avoid all this is to fill our team with foreign players, it,s worked well for Newcastle. I am confident that Newcastle's problem is not foreign players. After all, they had lots of foreign players when they finished 5th. And Chelsea has lots of foreign players right now. I did think on that previously but they can afford Lukaku's wages and Baines wages, I don't know what they are but I would of thought they'd be above 60k a week easily ? According to the most recent FM 2015 database, these are the weekly salaries in thousands of pounds: Lukaku 80 Baines 70 Barry 60 Lennon 55 McGready 50 Pienaar 50 Jagielka 50 Distin 45 McCarthy 40 Kone 40 Barkley 40 Mirallas 40 Osman 40 That is probably far enough. It seems they pay more than we do at the high end, but not so much that we cannot compete. I would guess they put more money into player salaries at the expense of something else--youth development maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Saint_G Posted 9 May, 2015 Share Posted 9 May, 2015 Have noticed a drop off in form for Clyne since his latest England call ups but today was just embarrassing. He seemed like a player who didn't want to get injured ahead of a big money move. Constantly stood off players and seemed totally uninterested until the final 10 when he got a bit more interested. If he is going to go, sack him off now and get one of the youngsters in, at least they would play with some heart and commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 10 May, 2015 Share Posted 10 May, 2015 You do have to wonder whether all the contract/transfer speculation regarding Clyne, Wanyama and Morgan has demoralised the team either that or they have simply ran out of steam. I would say Wanyama has looked like his mind is elsewhere since that Arsenal talk surfaced. Fair play to Morgan who has maintained standards throughout even though plainly obvious he sees his future elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 10 May, 2015 Share Posted 10 May, 2015 Clyne was totally unprofessional yesterday and shouldn't play again until he either signs a contract or leaves. I'm very disappointed in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 10 May, 2015 Share Posted 10 May, 2015 I was looking straight down his touchline and he looked hobbled from the challenge at the start of the second half.

Fair play to Morgan who has maintained standards throughout even though plainly obvious he sees his future elsewhere. it all looks good when everything is going OK, but if this is the best they can do, then we should seriously consider " new faces ", take the money and run..... Despite all the nice comments, I expect Clyne to go. £18 million sounds like daylight robbery, but with a year on his contract he should go. Next year he can walk away for £0. If Schneiderlin was unhappy last summer, he won't feel any better this summer and at 26 ......his boat (and valuation) will sink next year. Yes everyone says great things about Wanyama...but where is " the player " we saw at the beginning of the season?....He looks only a shadow of his former self.

david in sweden Posted 11 May, 2015 Share Posted 11 May, 2015 Both Wanyama and Clyne look their minds are elsewhere at the moment. Disappointing from such key players. True, but ambition exists everywhere, but if they want much more than just " a place on richer club's bench " they should consider the moves made by last summer's " defectors " and realise that the grass is not always greener than that at SMS. For those who are disatisfied, the best we can say is Thank you... and goodbye. A new crop of ambitious players (from the Academy.... or the Continent) will appear with a greater enthusiasm to better themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 12 May, 2015 Share Posted 12 May, 2015 So, is there a new deadline now? - So basically, what I can kind of sort of extract from that is that he's given us his decision and he wants to stay, albeit with slightly altered terms.

I.e. would the perception of maintaining a cohesive unit, and adding to said unit (rather than reducing/maintaining status quo) be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 12 May, 2015 Share Posted 12 May, 2015 (edited) Expect us to make maximum effort on Clyne, he's a young player and we'd owe Crystal Palace a bit, we have no evident replacement and are there all that many competent right backs about . Form has fallen away a bit of late so perhaps Utd won't be all that interested, perhaps they'll go for Trippier instead or Van Der Wiel or Aurier or one of the others we're linked with from time to time. Can't see many other 'top' clubs in the market for a right back just now. Edited 12 May, 2015 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 ALVES CLOSE TO MAN UTD DEAL? Manchester United are very close to confirming a deal for Barcelona right-back Dani Alves, according to Catalan newspaper Sport. The paper report that the player will snub Barca after United offered him a contract that was ‘far superior’ to the one on the table from the Spanish club. The 32-year-old is available on a free transfer as his contract at the Nou Camp expires this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
