TEL...are you seriously expecting anyone on here to believe that your team will sell on a player and not have a sell on clause inserted. But, whatever, we may agree to disagree, but I maintain, United do a great job with developing and selling on young players.
I wonder how much money we got from a sell on clause from Pogba, were we due 20% of the fee do you think? That'd be alright, here's £100m and give us £20m back. I'm sure we put the clauses in some of their contracts mate, but not all, we're not responsible for how they develop after leaving us, we just equip them with the mentality to succeed, The Busby Way and see them on their way. McNair will have it ingrained in him, as will Love, only time will tell if they turn out to be two more names to put on a list of success stories.
Im getting confused here. These lads went through Utd academy and made it up to the first team of one of the biggest clubs in the world. Now deemed as rejects as some of the most highly rated players around force them out. Confused.
Chelsea had 28 players out on loan last season with an estimated market value in excess of 150m and most of them were under the age of 23. Sunderland and Boro can take players from anywhere in the world, They're category 1. If you're going to debate it you'd stand yourself in better stead if you learn the rules regarding Academies. Doesn't mean we have the right player coming through for the area we need to strengthen. You do realise if it wasn't for picking up Asoro(who's from Sweden not Ashington) and fast tracking him, our very promising academy have no strikers anywhere near ready. Just because an academy has category 1 status doesn't mean they have potential in every position. So should the quest to find youth suddenly stop there? Of course not that would be stupid. Should the club they play for be a factor in our quest to find such a player? No, that would be even more stupid. Guess what? We had no DM coming though our Academy. So we went out and signed a young prospect with PL experience. That is not a bad thing on any level. Don't know what you're issue is. Man U have invested time and money in building a very good academy that produces a large quantity of professional footballers. Anyone slating it can only be jealous. Me? I'm envious, but that's subsiding as our own improves.
I don't deem them rejects. It's a good idea to bring in some young players to develop and sell on to make Sunderland a club that turns profit instead of losses, after forking out for players with no resale value. Some folk are identifying scapegoats after 3 games. They'll be reading all the crap on Twitter, let's just hope you've bought two lads with balls of steel.
I only question Love because we've got a young RB coming through. They've both got my full support. I trust Moyes more than these bizarre theories going about this thread.
I didnt mean you deemed them as rejects. Just some on here. A few weeks ago Bodji was classed as a Chelsea reserve reject on here.
We have about 6 RB's coming through, well, 4 since you took Love and Verela has left, but still, we play Valencia as RB and we have Darmian on the books, he cost about £12m. Competition is always good.
Don't know fella. I mean, look what's pinned to the top of his twitter page. Obviously there's effection there for us. Can't work it out myself.
All this talk by Lens, doesn't hide the fact that he's been mainly a lazy ****, who has went hiding during most of the games he's played in.
Feeling he may have been on a large wage and he's been shifted to finance new additions. That's the only logic I can see in it.
Then we're in an even bigger mess than we thought, or, there's a few players on silly money because a squad this small shouldn't be having wage problems.
Another Gyan/Giack for me, saw him at the world cup and said he was a world beater. Came here and disappointed having high expectations upon him.
So much ability man. Few Dutch wingers last few years been the same, Babel was one, Elia. I'd say too much weed but I ain't a hypocrite, ha.
