Just after seeing the awful goal casillas conceded, surely de gea will have to get more game time now

It's grand - we need the lad fit to proform like last Sunday ... Let him rot in the bench as long as possible

Playing for your country in a start studded team would be amazing for his development. Invaluable experience and a huge confidence boost. I absolutely want our players to gain experience on the international stage.

According to the mail, Blackett is getting a 48k wage rise (he's only on 2k atm) wouldn't mind that myself

Not sure if I can take the mail seriously at all to be honest :P Even if it's true then LVG surely has a lot of confidence in the lad.

There is absolutely no way he deserves that. He has done nothing.

Well, it does say he's out of contract this summer, but it is a massive increase alright.

Nothing controversial from Fergie tonight at the Chamber of Commerce gig.

More management focussed and probably more like what he's doing at Harvard.

Two references to Keane, both highly complimentary. He said that Scholes and Keane were the two best midfielders in Europe in '99 and made another reference to leaders in the '94 side which namechecked Keane.

Interesting stuff around rebuilding the club and the scouting system.

Spoke very fondly of Diego Forlan and how he speaks four or five languages. Forlan got married recently and Fergie was invited but couldn't go so Forlan sent a vidiographer to England to record a message. He was praising Forlan as a great man and a gentleman and talked about how after moving to Japan he did his first press conference in Japanese.

50k a week for Blackett is madness, and shows that United are simply not learning from teh contractual mistakes that have landed us with Anderson on the wage bill for another year.

Harvey Low Fat Milk · 10-10-2014 08:59AM

I like the idea that the management are effectively giving a youth team player long term assurances about his role in the team. It must be great for Blackett to see that if he continues to works hard and play well he can stay in the team especially after the money that has been spent and I imagine will be spent in the future. The danger is that if he's earning 50k a week then he could start thinking he has made it and the hard work will stop. I hope it's only speculation about the amount and he is tied down long term because I think Van Gaal can make him something special.

Have we learned nothing from the summer, papers know feck all I would be shocked if this was the actual figure.

Looks like few people on boards are not learning anything after seeing the various reports of players wages.

yes you have examples where it has backfired but if we lose him and he develops at oh i don't know juventus maby then united are idiots for letting him go. if lvg sees something in him i have full faith he's worth the investment

Meh. If a 19 year old who has played a handful of games and got sent off already wants more money than what United are offering, then leave him off.

No club should be held ransom about wages over a teenager. Blackett isn't special, nor was pogba in the senior games he played. Ya ya ya reserves he was the best.

These players need to realise that a club like United can just go out and buy a better player tomorrow if they wanted. We aren't Doncaster rovers.

More often than not these players just become average players. Pogba being the exception. But the club was right to let him go. And we aren't having a pogba discussion.

United must have the worst negotiating team in the world. Even though he's out of contract at the end of the season he'd struggle to get even half of his new contract at any other club. Probably a result of paying Shaw 130k a week, set a dangerous precedent.

Lucas Hood · 10-10-2014 10:13AM

50 grand is the new 20 grand in footballers wages. I don't really care who gets paid what though.

kryogen · 10-10-2014 10:16AM

I doubt the 50k is basic if it is accurate at all.

Backstreet Moyes · 10-10-2014 10:29AM

Speaking of young defenders Moore for Leiciester looks very good. Wouldn't mind a sneaky bid.

RobertKK · 10-10-2014 10:40AM

Talk of Hummels again, the latest rumour is a £40 million bid in January.

Reus being linked with a move to Anfield on £200k a week. For a 4-3-3 we should look to him.
20 plus goals a season when fit, a great signing for whoever gets him..

Can't see us going for Reus, or any player like him - unless we move on a few of the forwards.

With Falcao, Rooney and RVP to play, I just don't see room for another attacking player.

Would be shocked if Hummels was to move in January - we may go for him again in the summer though I suspect. I think a cheap move for Vlaar could be on the cards in January depending on what happens with our CBs over the next few months.

Rayne Wooney · 10-10-2014 10:49AM

Doubt Hummels would come to us unless we get back into the CL

Dortmund to Liverpool is a step down I'd say so I don't think we have to worry much about them getting Reus

Crimson King · 10-10-2014 10:57AM

Regarding blackett wages, I heard people say the exact same thing about Pogba, he had not played properly etc, not tested really.

If Van Gaal rates him, and loses him at the end of the season then it would cost >£10M to replace him. Perhaps even more considering by that stage Blackett will have a year learning his so called 'philosophy'. Personally I think the £50K a week figure has been dreamt up but he cost nothing and Van Gaal rates him so of course the club want to tie him down. It will probably much closer to the usual £35K a week first contract the club normally offers graduates and let them prove they are worth more.

I think Shaw is on 200K per week.

We probably look a better bet for Champions League next season. Dortmund are currently in 13th position with 7 points from 7 games.

Yeah and I heard he asks for it in £5 notes so he can bathe himself in it.

Backstreet Moyes · 10-10-2014 11:19AM

Dortmund 7 points after 7 games laying in the bottom half of the table. 10 points behind Bayern the league is already over. Bayern are too good i think Dortmund players will soon get bored of playing second fiddle to Bayern.

I think a few of their players may be gettable but Bayern will probably swoop in. But unless their out of the Champions league by Janruary i can't see us getting Hummels.

Thought it was £350,000 a week?
