    If it makes Virgil happier, show him the door. If he thinks he will get into the utd team then he Is deluded

    Looks like he's pissed off with the contract situation, he's saying nothing was offered, the club say there was.

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out. After the way lallana acted as a captain I would have thought better.

    He's 33 ... he'll be 35 when his current contract expires. We offered him an extension AND a pay-rise, 6 months after his last contract. If he's pissed off with the contract offer, he needs to be more realistic, otherwise his head isn't making it out the door.

    He's not being sneaky about anything, straight up transfer request. At odds with the club over the contract. Fair enough surely?

    The club, and others, are saying he was. I guess it comes down to who you believe ... and I believe the club.

    And why would a player want to cover his arse and make the club look bad?

    No player is bigger than the club. Bye bye Jose. Virgil as captain from now on

    This. If we see Fonte leading the team out after requesting to leave, even if he stays, I can't say I'm going to be too impressed. Gives the wrong impression.

    Fair enough, you should get a bit of cash even though he's knocking on. Utd were reprted as after him so I'd expect a bid.

    I would imagine if we let him leave without him submitting a request, he would be entitled to a share of the fee.

    This has dragged on as Les Reed wanted him to submit one, partly due to PR, and also waiving his entitlement to this fee.

    Good work if the player wants out, more money, length of contract and stuff - let's get £10m and move on...

    Someone is acting like a ****ing pillock, whether it's Jose or Les.

    MLT on Soccer Saturday said Jose wasn't being entirely truthful the other week and ITKs on here confirmed a pay rise was offered.

    I think his time to move was last summer. United would probably have taken him then but doubt they will now, especially as they have hit form and Jones has come back into the fold.

    Jose should have either just signed the deal and shut up or handed in this request in the summer. Too late now I believe.

    Couldn't give a flying **** is Jose leaves more worried about who might follow him out the door. People need to wake up a little bit and realise we genuinely could come unstuck this season, were not to good to go down , especially if we carry on sticking out head in the sand like we seem to be doing.
