Garnacho and Antony suitors saying that they won't pay the asking price. I'd say if you can't afford them then move on. That's the proce.

Cool, I can't afford the asking price of the million pound house down the road, will someone just drop the price to what I can afford? No chance.
Both are good players and we aren't asking for silly fees for either of them. It's just other clubs trying to push us to get a better deal.
I fully expect both players to join other clubs for the fees we are asking for before the window closes.

I try not to simply reiterate unsubstantiated rumors, referring to comment on something more concrete, but I did see a report this morning that Fenerbahce are prepared to pay €45 for Antony. Of course he wants to go back to Betis but it's clear they're not going to stump up the asking price and are hoping to cut the loan deal they say they can afford at the very end of the window. Honestly, I think we should make it clear that we'll let them sit it out until the winter transfer window rather than caving. Even more so with Garnacho. He's not on a ridiculously high salary and cost us nothing so there's no amortization charges to consider.

United need to get these sales right, I feel buying negotiating has improved from the club but if we get bent over in selling these players, despite not wanting them, we will still have no credibility in the transfer market when we come to sell in the future.

I think it’s a case of both players believing that they can leverage the club by refusing to consider moving to other clubs. For me, the club needs to set down a marker. It’s a World Cup season, if Chelsea and Betis think they can use Antony and Garnacho to force United to sell cheap, let them stay. Take the first half of the season off, and see how you feel about things in January.

Player power is crazy.
I expect Garnacho to go to Chelsea and the fee to be more in line with Gittens with Chelsea needing to move some players on.
Antony I think could end up elsewhere for roughly the price we are looking for.
Neither are crazy prices compared to recent player movements.

I agree with ports. We have to break the Man It'd pisstake offers for players. We have made multiple financial mistakes on ihing players who trunks put to be 30 40 million overpaid, plus wages, well we now have e their wages in Opex budget planning, so sod them, let them rot u till January and watch how swiftly their expected player power dissipates.

And also we will see club's stop taking the pics and delaying our windows by waiting it out when they realise it's not getting them any leverage. Costing ourselves a sales entirely just to pay out maybe 3 or 4m in wages to save ourselves being bent over for tens of millions in ludicrously low sale prices.

Maybe the fact that these are all very poor players, some with even poorer attitudes, makes it much harder to sell them.

BRD, other clubs have sounded both Garnacho and Antony out. The issue is that they’ve decided that they only want to move to Chelsea and Betis, respectively, and Chelsea and Betis are trying to use the players to leverage lower fees.

Garna will probably end up being 35-40 plus add ons plus sell on %. In the long run this could work for us, maybe he gets a big move in the future and we get a decent kick back on the back end. If he doesnt, then he wasn't worth 50 plus anyway.
Anthony will likely move, he is not suited to epl, he can be a star at a mid level team in a slower paced league, surely he will find that move in the next week.
Sancho wants free agency and is willing to chop of his left ball to achieve it. Loan him out to anyone that will pick up half his wages and move on. PR wise it is better to disassociate ourselves from him. He will also do better away from epl.

Firstly they are not very good players
Secondly bad attitudes are known by all
Thirdly RA and Club been very naive letting everyone know they don’t want them anywhere near the club, why on earth would anyone not do low ball offers and the clubs have told these players to sit tight.
Not a chance in hell we make them sit in the reserves, not a chance!
We made this bed we just got to accept it and take what we can get and hopefully learn from it!
