And better than most CBs we have to say the least.

Good call.

Do a Bonucci?

That's what I was thinking. I haven't seen enough of him recently but I assume he's still at a pretty high level? The experience could be invaluable at one of those clubs.

Tbh I couldn't see him going to another Serie A club think he is Juve through and through.

Heard talks of MLS possibility.

LAFC already made him an offer I think. Sure Miami would love him, but think they're over budget etc. Straight swap for Higuain they'd love I'm sure (buyer's remorse)...

That's a weird contract offer from WHU. 8 years??

Why would he sign that deal knowing that in 8 years 200k is gonna be average wage. He should sign that 200k deal but for 3 years with a release clause if a CL team comes in for him.

All face saving PR. He’s not going to sign that. Then they can say they tried to keep him.

But they have tried to keep him? What are they meant to offer that isn't 'face saving'? Or should they not bother trying?

A realistic contract I guess. 8 years is dumb.

As I said above, if there's the right clauses in it, I don't see how an 8 year offer is dumb.

Rice wants to leave West Ham. West Ham are holding him to his contract like Spurs with Kane last summer. Why the **** would he sign an 8 year deal now? There would either be no release clause or it would be prohibitive.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Good United tomato says United admire Frenkie but Romero is getting a bit ahead of himself. He wants UCL footy anyway.

 

[Zidane98]

Really good offer. Supporters can't really have asked for more from the ownership than that. Still don't think he'll be interested but they're doing all they can at least.

You would assume there are multiple buyout clauses included in that offer.

Have to be, otherwise there's no chance he'd sign.

Little bit different for a manager I would have thought.

most definitely but no other 8 year contracts exactly spring to mind

 

[Cruyff14]

Think Cesc signed a a 6 year contract with us.

Messi signed a 9 year deal with Barca in 2005.

Saul signed a 9 year deal with Atletico in 2017 (LOL).

Inaki Williams signed a 9 year deal in 2019.

Denilson signed a 10 year deal in 1998.

They're the longest I could find.

In fact that was also an 8 year deal.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Frenkie to Man U ?

Frenkie to Man U ?

The Barca twitter person who originally called it has doubled down. England journos aren't calling it. Fab has said ETH and United interested but nothing close. Barca need a sale apparently.

Can't see it happening personally.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Other than his relationship with our new manager why pick us

He will end up at city
