Unbelievable Jeff Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 Some further info from last night. Mane's agent will be starting negotiations on a new contract for him at Saints. Sadio is worried it will harm his chances of a move as a longer contract. Agent has told him it won't harm his options at all even if he extends as contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on. Mane has been offered €400k euros a month by United, which is apparently approximately 3 times his wage at Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 £300k a week. Unbelievable Jeff (and we are paying him £100k a week? Unbelievable Jeff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em00jie Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 £300k a week. Unbelievable Jeff (and we are paying him £100k a week? Unbelievable Jeff) He did say monthly. £300k a month is roughly £75k a week. So would mean we are paying £25j a week for him to treble going to MU...not so unbelievable!!

Dig Dig Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 £300k a week. Unbelievable Jeff (and we are paying him £100k a week? Unbelievable Jeff) He said per month. If true, I'd be worried that my agent is telling randoms all this info if I were Mane. Very unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 £300k a week. Unbelievable Jeff (and we are paying him £100k a week? Unbelievable Jeff) Where do you get that from? 400,000€ a month is about 70K £ a week. So if that's a lot more than us then we're not paying him a great deal..by PL standards anyway. At 22K£ a week you could say we're underpaying him actually. If that's really the sort of sum that these lads are on at Saints I can see why they all want to leave.

Don't disagree in all honesty. I was surprised at how candid he was, especially as he was talking to three blokes who were at a wedding. His English wasn't brilliant though.

We paid that sort of wage in the championship to several players. But he wouldn't have been on an enormous amount at Red Bull. With his share of the transfer and a bit of a signing on fee even 25K would have been a substantial increase. Trouble is it becomes instantly derisory when he starts putting in a few good performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted 31 August, 2015 Share Posted 31 August, 2015 Hopefully this new contract negotiation will satisfy Mane to stay. We need to pay competitively if we're to keep players of his quality here. There's no getting away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 2 September, 2015 Share Posted 2 September, 2015 What good will the club getting 25m will do for us as fans? We saw yesterday how important Mane is to us, Janazai is so far a busted flush in comparison. The 25 m would be put in the pocket and lost in the smoke and mirrors of the clubs finances. We don't spend nearly as much as we take in, let alone the TV money etc There are a lot more expenses to running a football club than transfer fees and wages.

Saint IQ Posted 2 September, 2015 Share Posted 2 September, 2015 Get him on the new contract! Just means we can demand obscene amounts for him, look at Sterling and De Bruyne, prices are going to go up and up. Fair play to him saying about the Van Gaal thing can't see his regime there lasting very long anyway. Giggs looks baffled on the bench at times, probably because Van Gaal is a very strange person.

SuperSAINT Posted 9 November, 2015 Author Share Posted 9 November, 2015 LVG EYEING WINGERS? Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal admits he needs more pacey wingers at the club. Ahead of the January transfer window, the Dutchman has pinpointed the wide areas as needing improvement, and says Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are “not the speediest in the world”. "I have said already in my first year many times we need speed and creativity on the wings,' the Dutchman said. "You have seen that now we play with Jesse Lingard and he is not the most speedy winger in the world and (Juan) Mata is also not the most speedy winger in the world. So first we must first address that problem." ^ I can almost smell the links in January already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 9 November, 2015 Share Posted 9 November, 2015 (edited) ^ I can almost smell the links in January already. If he wants speed has he not thought about signing Jonno Quick..... Edited 9 November, 2015 by doddisalegend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 9 November, 2015 Share Posted 9 November, 2015 If he wants speed has not thought about signing Jonno Quick..... As Memphis Depay has proved, speed isn't enough in the PL, you need speed and a bit of guile. M.U will probably try to buy that bloke from Swansea or Bolasie.

Batman Posted 9 November, 2015 Share Posted 9 November, 2015 Daft to be playing Mata as a winger anyway, he's brilliant centrally and always justifies his place, but gets shoved aside to accommodate Rooney. Similar to England, good players out of position all the time. Mane would be ideal for them really but they can fck off unless they want to pay a silly price. completely agree. heard a commentator on 5live at the weekend go on about how Rooney MUST play for club and country as he is the one true great player united and england have. just a cycle of the same old shyte in this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know we are a selling club but apart from Jack Cork we don't sell players in January it's to disruptive to the team mid season........come the summer I'm sure it will be game on with Man U being made to pay through the nose to acquire Mr Mane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 9 November, 2015 Share Posted 9 November, 2015 personally, I'd be more concerned about Townsend coming here.. than I would Mane leaving for £50 million ! AT is really over-rated and he'd be gone in a year. My memory is long enough to remember how we were sc*ewed by Spu*s over the Chivers / Saul deal in '67 .....and this one smells the same.
