    And the gaffa, maybe even more importantly.

    Bad news for Gordon too I'd say. I'd prefer Wissa.

    Not sure Gordon will be worried about their new striker.

    They used to slag Ashley for lowballing offers to create the illusion he was trying it

    They now doing it in a grand scale.

    Mbuemo is by far the better of the 2 and Wissa, don’t get me wrong very tidy player, was enhanced by their brilliant understanding.

    Not convinced Wissa does it without Mbuemo, whereas I think k Mbuemo be superb at United.

    I know this is from yesterday but I’m catching up the reason he’s been underpaid is for years his agent/agents have rejected contracts that would’ve Improved his pay his last extension was in 23 we gave him the captaincy he still doesn’t sign
    Now I’m not saying he should just sign any contract just because it’s his local club but you can’t cry underpaid for years when you’re rejecting multiple contracts that would’ve improved it

    More so when he scored the opening goal in the play offs semi final at St James’s Park in the Gates and Gabbers show .

    Were they saying it a few months ago though, or are they softening the blow.

    Quite.

    I've said it loads of times, about loads of players. Their agent's most important job is to get them a "set up for life" contract as soon as possible.

    The kind that say Dan Ballard signed last summer. He will probably earn more in the future but well organised, that contract, even if it's the last he ever signs, could put seven figures in his bank account. More will usually follow, but it's just more money.

    Without that deal, it's just one bad injury or accident, or whatever, and the player is back among the hordes, which is what all of the early work, the training, the proving yourself, the sacrifices and the dedication can prevent happening.

    Only a bad agent doesn't do this.

    If we get Xhaka, it will be like having Bally back in the team.

    This mate. His agents have made a right hash of things. On one hand I feel sorry for him, he’s been grossly underpaid while working his sack off and leading a promotion team on the other hand why has he not just just got them told. No way would I sit there while this happens.

    No, you wouldn't. Nor me, or probably anyone on here. But we had to grow up quickly and make decisions for ourselves very early.

    Most footballers do not do this. Dan is rolling the dice here. Hope it turns out okay for him .
