Mctominay bid accepted, now it seems ugarte is finally going to happen on a permanent deal rather than a loan.

Would have preferred a loan with no obligation for Ugarte.

As I understand it, the player is yet to agree to move.

Similar to awb he wants a payoff from us and still has to agree terms? Do these payoffs happen all the time or is it just us because we’ve been ran by clowns for so long. I never hear about this with other clubs! Ed’s can u help with this one?!

It has to do with the wages they are paid. F. eks Antony gets paid 200K a week, and has 4 years left on his contract, no other team in the world would pay him those wages so if Utd were to sell him and the buying team are only offering Antony 100K and there are no other offers and Utd really want rid, they'll have to pay the remaining 100K a week for the remainder of his 4 year contract. Never pays off to give players the huge wages utd pay. McTominay gets 60K a week so i doubt there are the same problems there but it might be the loyalty bonus of 5% of the transfer fee he is looking for because as far as i know he never asked for a move.

Not to mention Sancho on 250K a week and Casimero on 350K a week with 2 years still to go on his deal. These players will only move if they can get the same wages elsewhere.

Sancho f. eks (Juventus are offering to cover 100K of his weekly wages) and united have to cover 150K a week for the season loan.

Its very very costly to get rid of players on huge wages that are not justified on the pitch and that almost no team want due to their huge wages. Antony came from the Dutch league, why is he getting 200K a week when he was getting 25K a week at ajax. Couldn't 100K convince him? Shocking really.

Taxes are different in Italy though. You can be paid £100k/ week in the UK and £80k/ week equivalent in Italy and still end up with the same amount in your pocket after taxes as an example.

If I’m McSauce, a move to Serie A will see him being a top player there, at a great club that is a footballing hotbed. Food, climate etc. good luck to him.

As for Sancho, he needs to find his fire again wherever he goes. Right now, seems like he can’t be @rsed.
