Let’s see how Wilder spends his £150 000.  How much do United owe him?, I thought all debts were cleared when the Prince joined, Wilder would be happy with a 150,000 bobus I'm sure.

Robbie Loving   10 #15 Posted June 30, 2018 Big mac will use the cash to build another hotel  The last hotel was built by a cash loan from a bank.  As for Brooks. Disappointed to see him go. The boy has a very positive mind frame and I like that.  Of course is isn't the finished article, but the price reflects that. I do think we could have held out for a higher figure, but that's the way it goes.  Wish him well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
blackydog   40 #16 Posted June 30, 2018 He put in a transfer request. Wilder wants a squad who want to play for the Blades. He may end up like Kyle Walker or he may end up like Jordan Slew. If a player is determined to leave, I wouldn't want them to stay and disrupt the team spirit. Hopefully Wilder will be given 50p from the deal to spend on a new signing.  Any proof / link to this?

In fact, I'm not surprised he wanted away because he couldn't get into the first team, ahead of some of the other donkey's in front of him, yet he was clearly the most talented player at the club. I bet his agent said to him, "do you want to stay here and try and get a regular place in the first team, or would you like to be a regular first team player in the Prem and pocket 10% of a £12M transfer fee?"  What would you have done if you'd been Brooks (or "Brookes" as you call him)?  I have no problem with United selling their best players. None at all. The problem I have is what they do with the money from the sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petcharlie   10 #19 Posted July 1, 2018 Any proof / link to this?  It is news to me that he handed in a transfer request.Lets hope that Wilder gets a good wedge of cash to reinvest.Now that would be good news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Vasquez Rich   10 #20 Posted July 4, 2018 If a Prem club has contacted an agent.. and we all know how it works, rules or otherwise... most players end up going... the only thing you can do is get a decent amount of cash for him.  Jordan Slew.. was trying to remember that name...  We kept Tonge, turning down that mad offer from Liverpool, and he was never as good ever again.. it's a gamble.
