BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Im just pleased we got the likes of McGinn, Konsa, Mings all tied down to new deals. Finally we have forward thinking men behind the scenes. If anyone comes in for him, we call the shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By signing Mings and Konsa to new deals we get to spread their remaining amortisation over the length of the new contract. Even though they got pay increases it ends up a net positive to our year on year accounts. I do agree it's great they are signed. Martinez has to be next to get an extension hopefully this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yeah Emi is the big one. All these exciting signings being made also goes some way to convincing our existing top talents that here is the place to be. Its all very impressive whichever way you look at it from the owners.

thunderball Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I hope if he is sold it because we have a plan. I don’t think we could turn down £55m+. I don’t fully share the seeming majority view here however, I think he is very overrated despite being better this season, but nowhere near Championship McGinn. I think we can do better, but hope we don’t sell. I just don’t like being a selling club, we are trying to build a squad, we need strength in depth.

Its the hidden strengths of McGinn that make him worth £50 mill to us. As Gerrard said. His personality and character stand out in the dressing room. He is the glue that keeps everyone together. But every player has a price. It would have to be a bid that took into account his importance at the training ground as well as on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted January 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2022 £50m buys you Naby Keita or Tanguy Ndombele. Man Utd can get to ****. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If United did bid well above his value to us in summer we probably should sell as we'd book all profit from the sale. If we've got a Bissouma in and Luiz stayed we'd have plenty for midfield. Carney is the long term successor to McGinn for me. Every players has a price.

Jas10 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Maybe one thing that’s getting overlooked is how and how much our existing players will improve by playing alongside a better standard of player… they can focus on their roles instead of trying to cover more than one area/aspect too. Competition is healthy but playing with greater quality is a huge help and can advance individuals’ game… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like McGinn, his personality, his desire, adds about 5 million to the value of every other player in that dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there is a release clause, we are not a selling club. It's no good building something, to slowly disassemble it every season. We need to keep our best players if we want to move on, even if it's just to build a strong bench, that's going to lead to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if we want to use the money to improve the squad we could. If we are offered too much for him we would accept. Everyone has their price.

Jareth Posted January 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2022 Selling McGinn in order that we may then improve the squad is a fruitless exercise IMHO, why decrease the squad's quality by selling in the first place? I reckon there'll be a new contract announced very soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Future Captain? For all his faults, he is a huge part of our club and an incredible midfielder at his best. As I said previously, hopefully having better players around him will allow him more consistency.
