Why are people saying "sell cleverly, Wellbeck etc. "
We will not sell our English squad players (bar maybe young) who will we replace them with without paying over the odds?

Young can be replaced with Lingard, Welbeck with a door stop, or if not Keane can have his place.

So you are saying so long as they are English they will never be sold. so any excuse for a footballer has a career long contract waiting for them at OT so long as he is English. unbelievable how thick some people are.

"Welbeck with a door stop"

Brilliant, sitting at the airport waiting to board and just made me laugh so hard.
He is so poor and I am willing to bet he will not be her in 24 months if this is as good as it gets.Fro 80 k a week there area better players out there. He is no strikers and not sure besides being big what are his strengths.

No I'm saying we won't get that much for them, we never get much for anyone and always undersell. Then we'd have to replace them somehow, using up our budget to buy more squad players who may or may not be better than them, but dam sure will cost a lot more.
I think people are forgetting we can't have a squad of forgeign players.

'Fro 80 k a week' that just describes Welbeck perfectly, even if it was a input error :-)

1993 our younger guys could give as much as Welbeck, Cleverley etc, so why not let them have a go where the above have failed?

Also 1993, do we really undersell? Or is it that we over inflate the prices we think we should get because they are players for Manchester United? Let me just ask, if Welbeck, Cleverley, Young, Anderson, Nani and Buttner were at say Aston Villa, would you want United to buy them? If so, what would you, honestly, be willing to pay? I can tell you I wouldn't want any of them on the performances they have put in for us and non would be anywhere near the £10m and over bracket for price. They would all be £8m and under going off performance.
