Totton Sotton Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 I say fair play to him. He gave us the season we asked for. Wish him all the best at United.

Pastor Patrón Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 £24m isn't a great deal tbh, considering he's our most important player and isn't running out of contract anytime soon. We should be asking for £30mill+. £12mill for Clynes fair enough, he's pretty mediocre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityRanger Posted 25 June, 2015 Share Posted 25 June, 2015 That back page splash is by the same journo (David McDonnell) who announced on MUTV in April that Clyne to Man U was a 'done deal'.

ART Posted 26 June, 2015 Share Posted 26 June, 2015 If Morgan ends up at United I can't say I begrudge him the move after he kept to his word and remained with us last season. Can see him and Hugo Lloris both playing for United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 26 June, 2015 Share Posted 26 June, 2015 almost everybody put in Morgan's shoes would make that move, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. It will be tough filling his shoes. I think United are getting him at very good price. How much did they spend of Fellaini? With the huge rise in prices for players last summer, this feels a fraction low to me for what I would suggest is now a completely proven and outstanding premiership midfielder. Maybe I have rose tinted specs on, but he is will allow the flair players at united or wherever to shine. With the number of times he intercepts balls, they will see more ball than they did last year that's for sure. Schweinsteiger is winding down. Morgan is at his peak. Much better choice for united.

pangy Posted 26 June, 2015 Share Posted 26 June, 2015 That £25m price tag was made up by the media though,we have never had not had our pants pulled down in a deal yet under this current board,we are not going to start now with our only player that is potentially world class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 26 June, 2015 Share Posted 26 June, 2015 If Morgan ends up at United I can't say I begrudge him the move after he kept to his word and remained with us last season. I agree with you, I can't begrudge him a move, but not because he stayed. He only stayed because he was under contract and we said he couldn't go. He had no choice. He wanted out and he moaned when we prevented him leaving. But I am glad he knuckled down and played well, but that's what we paid him to do. Or was that what you meant: he said he would knuckle down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have rose coloured glasses on - the Mancs are getting a great defensive midfielder (at a very fair price) with an incredible capacity for interceptions and biting tackles. I'll be watching more of their games next season than usual; just to check up on Morgan's progress. I don't think he is yet at his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 26 June, 2015 Share Posted 26 June, 2015 Goals, thats the difference. The same reason good strikers are worth more than good goalkeepers, despite having similar influence on results. Yup, Fellaini got 11 league goals the season before his move to United. Mid-twenties seems to be about the going rate for top-class defensive midfielders, unless you can get an auction started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because there's always a fading star or two to be had at a knock down price or a young Frenchman desperate for far more money than any Ligue 1 club can pay.

Good Luke MS where ever you end up:( Football really can be a cruel mistress sometimes Jesus it's only football that was Jimmy Case. Its a shame but we've had him here far longer than most players stay at one club and to be fair he deserves the chance to be playing CL. His ability is a little above the level of the club. We still have Victor and Reed and others and I have no doubt that we will bring someone decent in if not two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted 26 June, 2015 Share Posted 26 June, 2015 Can't see us replacing him with anyone as talented this transfer window. We'd need to be in CL and able to offer silly wages to do that. Can't help feeling that losing Morgan will drop us down a place or two in the league by the end of the season. Despite that, I don't begrudge him going to a CL team. He's earnt that opportunity. If he goes to Spurs or, dare I say it, Liverpool (surely he wouldn't?!), I'd be very disappointed.

I think he is quality but he really doesn't seem to be attracting the sort of bidding attention I thought he would. Spurs are interested if they can have him for next to nothing, Arsenal have allegedly been interested since we signed him yet have never bid for him and Man U are interested if they can't secure other targets and have yet to table a bid. I figured he would be in much higher demand around Europe to be honest. Guess the price is putting teams off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say first half of the season we were all raving about Tadic and he had something like the most assists in the league if I recall correctly? Don't what happened with him second half of the season, maybe he didn't have the fitness, or was carrying an injury, didn't Koeman not play him towards the end due to an ongoing injury problem?

Well as he said he'd only leave for a CL club and has a preference for the PL how many candidates does that actually leave ? 4 I make it, 2 are interested and two don't seem to be because a DM is not a priority to them. As for bids, well that's old hat and not the way it's done any more. Clubs enquire and get told a figure, after that there are discussions and a figure is settled upon. 22/23 will be the price and Utd are the most likely destination, Koeman wants other players..probably more Dutchmen and isn't particulary adverse to MS leaving.
