Pereira to Fulham is interesting.
I think he should try to get contract extension from Man United and stay here as long as possible. I mean why to go to other place and play and get paid less when you can stay here not playing at all and get paid significantly more.
We all would have done the same thing.
No matter how it affects the club, we should not blame Pereira if he does that.
After all, it would be the club's fault not his.
Jones did the right thing for himself and Pereira should follow his footsteps.
Maybe 5 years later, Pereira can give a great performance against one small team and all the fans will forget about his previous horrible time.

Even though you're being sarcastic, I find this in very bad taste.
He's on very low wages, he's tried to play for us, gone out on loan and hasn't really been consistent.
I have not heard him go to the press and degrade the club.
Early career he did have some good games with the Brazil u21s.
Hasn't really kicked on.
He's got an offer, which he's free to take time and decide.
Moving permanently will be best for him, and there's a player there somewhere not sure if he will realise his potential.

Look everyone srestha did a funny one??.

Rohanarora8 I am not sure if you have seen the post about Phil Jones on the rumours site but this is a result of that thread. I don't think srestha seems too pleased that people called him out on what he was saying or called his views naive and is trying to make point.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I'm actually glad the club gave Jones a new deal when they did even given his injury history.
All you ever hear from fans is that players should treat the club better, be more respectful, give more to the club, work harder etc.
While with their next breath will say the club should bomb out this player or that player. That they should force players to leave, that they shouldn't give players a new deals if they aren't performing, they should be on lower wages, etc.
In my mind if you want the players to give their all and be respectful to the club then the club needs to match that with the players. You can't just have a one way relationship where one party does all the giving and the other party does all the taking.

Shappy do you mean you can't have it like most companies treat their staff or the government treat the electorate every year apart from election year?
But yea you are right the club did the right thing negotiating new contracts for PJ and others.

Did you read what you wrote shappy? Are u seriously using that kind of analogy? I am absolutley shocked about your happiness for a player getting a new contract and getting paid massive wages without having to do anything.
“All you ever hear from fans is that players should treat the club better, be more respectful, give more to the club, work harder etc”
Can you please tell me when Jones has done all of it?
“While with their next breath will say the club should bomb out this player or that player. That they should force players to leave, that they shouldn't give players a new deals if they aren't performing, they should be on lower wages, etc”
Well that is how a successful club is run. Get the best players, reward the player who contributes to the club’s success and get rid of the players who is not good enough to make the club successful. That goes same for any company.
The one way relationship you are talking about is the service and huge money the club is giving to Jones without getting anything back.
If paying all mediocre players who are not good enough just to show them respect is what u want then i am afraid u want the club to fail. With that logic we should award new contract to Periera, AWB, bailly, martial, telles and should not have let mata, matic go. Should have awarded all this players long term contract as a sign of respect and forget about winning league and trophies. Let us be a club which rewards mediocrity and has no hunger for success.

I agree srestha.
He did not Warnford a new contract at the time. It was adumb move to give him one.
It's not the clubs job to look after employees that don't perform and extend their contrast that is bad decision making and in this case its proven to be a bad decision.

I got a bite ?.

Ken
Totally agree with you. I am quite shocked to see how many posters here disagree with us. For them it is the club's job to keep employee happy who never lift a finger or do any work and yet they preach about the club winning trophies.
Shappy.
A bite you can say or a reality check Shappy. Jones and his type of players are the ones this club desperately needs to get rid off and avoid signing. We need hungry, highest quality players who will fight for the club and can get those glory days back. We can't afford to act as a charity club offering huge wages to mediocre players who do not care about anything else except money in their bank.
