Rumours that adnan wants 15K a week and that's what's holding up the contract talks, if true, JUST BLOODY GIVE HIM IT!!
Refusing 15k a week for this kid would be barking mad when you realise that Ashley Young is on over 5 times that as it is.
Doesn't sound right to me, he's not the type to chase after money like that. But if true then we better meet those demands. I think Zaha is on around £15k a week so it makes sense to give Adnan the same.
Give him whatever he wants within reason and strap him up for the next five years. then give him a good run out this season to show what he can really do! untapped talent at this moment in time and a very exciting proposition for us
I don't usually like the fact young players are demanding £x but after his performance after Palace I would tend to pay it as he could be a valuable player this season - it was refreshing to see a player with no fear trying to take players on - not run down the line, cut back onto his right and deliver a rubbish cross.
We need to wrap a long term contract round this guy - pay the money and give him a chance!
If this is true then it should have been sorted already, anyone in their right mind can see he is worth it, I know we can't be held to ransom by greedy agents or kids who think they are better than they think but this surely isn't the case here, if were not careful we'll end up losing another potential world class talent.
Give him the money, we have lost too many players this year alone by not paying the money to get them. We need this player, Saturday wasnt great.
I doubt this very much. £15k/£16k a week is the next salary on the wage structure. Players like Cleverley, Welbeck, Evans etc etc were all given this wage when they went from academy to senior. If there is a sticking point then it's probably that he is asking for more than £15k/£16k.
Lets be honest nobody knows yet all speculation so we will have to wait and see what happens. The boy does look an incredible talent tho. We should get him involved as much as possible so he feels a big part of it all so we don't end up losing a player with so much potential. I think we should keep him also rather than letting him go on loan we do not have many players who can beat a man atm and he certainly can so why let him go we need him here now
Adnan doesn't seem the type to be money driven, maybe it's just reassurances that he will get a fair chance. I would just give him the number 7 too, to show how much faith we have in him and his future is with the club, sort of like we did when we gave it Ronaldo. I'm sure it will all be sorted soon, we aren't that stupid to have another Pogba situation surely!
Does anyone know what Bebe was on, is this club really going to risk losing another great young talent, imagine how much money they save when they don't have to go out and uy a big star to fill the space in a few years time. Maybe force Giggs into retirement and use some of his wasted wages or that of Anderson i'm sure he will be happy to be paid with cake.
If its true then give it to him as he's well worth it. I wouldn't want to lose out again like Pogba and from his displays this summer this kid going be up there.
United should be looking to secure this talent and make him feel special. Yeah we need to keep his feet on the ground but in a world were money talks and he sees how well he is being treated and developed we should stop the penny pinching and focus on the football.
I can't believe that we haven't signed him yet especially after the ineptitude during the transfer period. If this turns out like the Pogba episode it will be a disaster. To Moyes credit he has gotten him a game but the lad must be wondering to himself how Giggs and Young are chosen ahead of him.
