Garner getting sold, bid has been accepted for 15m/ 20m pounds.
Don't think we've gotten good amount of money for him.
One of the top 5 players in Nottingham Forest'd promotion journey.
Coming from the youth setup since 2009.
Hardly got a minute this pre season or first team.
Did almost everything to get a chance in the first team but we've decided to let him go without a proper chance.
Yet the likes of McTominay and Fred stay who at their best give a 6/ 10 performance.
Really don't like this move, irrespective of what ETH thinks about Garner, if he is good enough or not. LVG did the same with likes of Rafael, Welbeck etc and we didn't massively improve.
I hope we put a buyback clause because there's a chance he could become a decent player.

In a different time we might have retained him but the manager and club have the immediate moment to consider. We are not looking to be promoted from the Championship but aspiring to become once again a top European competitor. Is Garner good enough for that? Given the fee attained one may surmise that the footballing community regards him as of no more than average potential. So move on. Let him find his level. United needs to get itself into a position to acquire far better.

I like Garner and hoped he was to get a chance under EtH.

However, the manager has had nearly 12 weeks to work with him in training, to see what he is about and has made the decision at the end of the transfer window that he isn't a player for him.

It's not like he discarded Garner at the first opportunity, he is leaving pretty much on deadline day. Garner has had as long as he could to impress EtH. Unfortunately for the lad he hasn't. Better that he moves on and continues his career and his development than him spend a season playing for the under 23's.

Alternatively, a mystery club has bid around 19m for Tielemans apparently. If the club were able buy Tielemans for around the same price they sell Garner that would represent a serious upgrade to the squad.

It's probably not United that has bid for Tielemans, but it shows that good business is still possible.

At the end of the day Erik sees him in training every day and has given the minutes to every other midfielder we have over him. It's not a great fee but he can't be blowing the gaffer away with what he's seen.

It's quite possible that ETH doesn't see what you seem to see Rohan.

Personally, I think he is a good player, but that's it.

I think McT has better physical attributes and plays a different role than Garner.

We can argue about the fee, but we have never been a big selling club and it's just likely that they want to move him on with some return. Best of luck to the lad but I think it's the right decision. Again, trust in ETH.

The hype with is crazy.

He was in the bottom third statistically in nearly every category bar 2 or 3 for championship players last season.

Bottom 13% for forward passes for example.

Exactly what Spenno says. We can like players all we like but the fact is we don’t see ‘em day in day out to cast any great opinion.

Iqbal is a far better prospect than Garner.

Apparently there is a buy back clause.

Iqbal, savage and Mainoo are all better prospects with higher ceilings. Garner is about as good as our midfield last season but if we want to improve we need better players not players at the same level.

Maybe a couple of seasons in the prem and we use the buy back clause to get him back if he’s better than what we have.

Shappy anyone but Tielemans.

I watched Garner as much as possible last year, I was never impressed. Its good business.

The buyback clause is actually smart. I can live with that.
If he becomes really good, we can get him back.
If not then we got the money.
My personal feeling is that he had a conversation with ETH and he was told he is 7th or maybe 8th choice midfielder. Zidane Iqbal is better prospect no question.

Great deal. Great price. Very average player.
Hope he does well. 15m for a lad that's never played for us. Nice.
No fixed amount but an buy back option.
Rohan I'm sure the club are delighted you can live with that or else they could have pulled the plug.

Rohan moaning about the deal citing the usual mctom and Fred play bla bla! Because the manager and every manager we’ve had has deemed them better than others! Let’s keep garner because someone whose seen him score a few free kicks on you tube reckons he’ll be the next Paul Scholes! Let the manager do his job at last!

Tbh I hoped he was given a chance but maybe United have aspirations to invest in that area and he thought f it.

This is type of deal that should be done more often. The Academy is there to give lads a chance at making it as a professional, to supplement the team when the right talent comes along, but it should also be self sufficient and make us money.

Garner was looking useful compared to the dross we seen in the centre of midfield last year. But unfortunately for him we've signed Eriksen and Casemiro which makes him easily 7th or 8th choice to play there.

Decent fee that will keep the lights on in the academy for awhile. Wish him all the best.
