Hate to say it, but that Wolves goal off the corner was class

devo22 · 08-19-2019, 02:26 PM

completely unnecessary. United had control in the first, but came out sleepwalking in the second half. absolutely hate playing against Wolves, don't really know why ... but something about them irks me.

and why the #### is Pogba taking that pen? Rashford is deadly, Martial is deadly.

Bagor · 08-19-2019, 02:28 PM

Want to hear OGS explain why Pogba took that.

Senator Clay Davis · 08-19-2019, 02:29 PM

I mean it was a quality save more than a crap penalty.

Bagor · 08-19-2019, 02:54 PM

Mata was absolutely useless.

no idea why he still gets picked over Gomes.

well, a point at Molineux is fine. Still pissed because of the pen though.

He hit it hard but that's about it.

The height was perfect for a keeper's jump, and also not nearly enough into the corner of the net to trouble a goalie that guesses right.

Still a good save due to the pace on the ball, but needs to be into the corner.

Because if he doesnt take it then his feelings will be hurt and he'll mope around for a month.

Manchester United are facing a £12 million bill for Alexis Sanchez's wages this season even if the forward completes a loan move to Inter Milan before next week's European transfer deadline.

But with Sanchez unwilling to take a pay cut in order to end his United nightmare, Inter are only prepared to pay up to €5m (£4.5m) of the player's €20m (£18m) salary at the Premier League club.

With Inter only prepared to pay £85,000-a-week towards Sanchez's £350,000-a-week basic salary at Old Trafford, United could be forced to fork out in excess of £1m a month simply to get a deal done with Inter.

They gotta do it. He's poison.

devo22 · 08-22-2019, 02:23 PM

Italian cheapskates, as always. Not surprised at Sanchez not taking a paycut.

Why would he?

yeah that was my point. It'd obviously be great if he did because it'd help facilitate a move, but it was always unlikely.

this one will drag on for a while. Inter will never pay up, they must be extremely frustrating to deal with. "We want to loan your player, but you'll have to cover 75 percent of the wages" ... they can go pound sand. Probably the most disappointing aspect of the failed Dybala/Lukaku swap was that it allowed those cheapstakes to get back to the negotation table.

I can definitely see it from the Inter point of view though. Who wants to pay him $350k/week when he's clearly not worth that. It creates a problem in the team and is just plain a waste of money.

then don't get him. Simple. They always go window-shopping and offer 10 bucks for 100 dollar items. Either pay up or get lost.

I don't know why they piss me off so much, but they do

agulati · 08-22-2019, 03:38 PM

Honestly, Man. Utd got themselves into this mess. It is not up to other teams to get them out of it. If Inter sees his value to be that much, either Man. Utd find a team willing to take him on for a better deal, or take the deal that Inter has on the table.

They're not obligated to fix United's mistakes.

Sanchez's wages have always been a point of contention among the squad, why inherit that? They're only going to pay what a reasonable team would, not his United wages.

That would be a substantial pay cut.

Then he's stuck at United. I think you have this scenario backwards here - United are the ones more desperate to be rid of Sanchez, than Inter are the ones to want Sanchez.

Inter is 100% right to not want to pay 350k a week for a player that probably only contributes close to 100k a week in value right now. Especially if it's going to throw their own wage structure out of wack.

It's not like Sanchez has been elite recently - his last truly great season was 16-17.

In reality they are the ones doing United a favour here just by getting him out of their squad.

Or keep him.

Devo is just mad that a team dares to practice fiscal responsibility. Unheard of insolence!
