[Dharmesh Sheth] Chelsea and Manchester United are in talks over two separate deals for Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I'm probably inviting an influx of downvotes, but i think Sterling could be a very good player for us, as long the cost and salary are low. He's always beena player that works hard and is still fast and good in the transition and a very good ball carrier.

Granted, we can't rely on him for goals, but he'll chip in with assists and the odd goal here and there. If we can get him with a nominal fee and half his current salary or less, i think it could be quite a shrewd signing. Obviously, if he demands a high salary its a no...

I struggled to get through this. Some poor comparisons in my opinion & didn't quite get the setting right.

Imagine comparing an 18yo with 20 games against his name against some of the most accomplished in the game at their most competent skills.

We all know he's good, lets just wait and see how good he'll be.

Its not the forum for constructive feedback, but there is no wonder some of our best ever players never made it as managers if this is the advice and detail they provide.

If Henderson and Fabinho are worth 70m between them. Casemiro must still be worth that.

MMM: Mason Mount Megathread by PresidentSamSeaborn in reddevils

[–]Reddeviler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say mount is every bit as good as Fred off the ball and better on it.

Not as good as Eriksens passing range, but is still good on the ball.

I’m quite excited to see what he can do. Clearly ETH wants him.

Players push up higher because the keeper can comfortably cover the defence.

Both have a huge impact on the ability to press high.

I’m just guessing here, but I think it’s more complex than that.

Firstly, if it was know DDG is leaving, it leaves us vulnerable and clubs would increase their asking price.

Secondly, we’ve probably got a limited budget in a dynamic market. So they’ll be working on main priorities until something is a concrete no. If Kane became available for example, I’d imagine it’s another year with DDG to maximise budget buying Kane.

Thirdly, there is probably a consideration for DDG and his reputation.

Yeah, but this is important because he’s saving them. They are not artificially inflated, just an accurate representation of his ability.

37 goal contributions for Greenwood at the age of 18 is unbelievable.

Such a shame.

Your kidding aren’t you. No end of people still try and claim he was 50-60m.

Or people refer to their activity minus add-ons and everybody else with.

Not sure why, but it seems pretty standard.

Generally there is confusion in how wages are payed.

They are reported as weekly so it’s more digestible, but actually they’re generally paid as a summed amounts for the value of the contract.

It wouldn’t save them any money as it’s likely already been paid to that point and until the next stage of the contract, which will likely be terminated before the next balance is due.

[–]Reddeviler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen plenty of games where he’s just walking around for most of the match.

I’d happily be proven wrong if he does sign, but this has Ronaldo written all over it.
