tier 10 but still lol..

AC Milan step up pursuit of Hakim Ziyech with Chelsea willing to let the player leave for £8million this summer - but the Moroccan will have to take a pay cut on his £5m-a-year salary if he is to join the Italian champions

• Hakim Ziyech wants to sign for AC Milan after a difficult spell at Chelsea
• Ziyech could be available for as little as £8.4million as Chelsea look to cash in
• The 29-year-old has emerged as a key target for the Serie 'A' champions
• But he will have to reduce his wage demands if he is to join the Italian giants 

£8?

These Italian clubs take the piss. Should be £20m minimum.

Imagine if Chelsea tried to buy a comparable player from the Italian league for the same price...we would be back to the £30m plus bracket

How did we get to a point where we sign these players who are just underwhelming. Lukaku, Ziyech, Werner, that's not to mention the other crap we've bought in the past. Madness. Roman really left us in a sh*t situation in regards to the squad.

We would get more money selling to the championship lol.

Am sure it ends up being a loan anyways.

If we really are letting him go at almost a 6th of the price we bought him for and there appears to be no clubs banging on the door for him, what does that say about him?

Not a single PL side willing to part with 8mill? Shesh.

Probably a lot of our struggle to move players on, is their ridiculous wages we've put them on.

£8 mill is somewhat taking the piss for sure...but I don't think TT has ever been pleased with Ziyech's work rate both on and off the pitch; somedays he is just so laid back he's in a coma.  When he does score a world class goal he appears just so casual as if it was so easy, the problem is it would be the only thing he did in 90 mins, if he got to stay on for 90mins... Won't be missed but £8mill seems rather low given what he cost. 

Won't be missed at all, doesn't show up nearly enough, actually thought he was gonna be great, take the 8 million

Which attacker does show up ?

He's no worse than Werner, CHO or pulisic.

I think the government had a little hand in it

United ready to buy him if we are "not too greedy"

Given TT is not a fan, and the state United are in get the most we can  it don't let the deal fall through. Need to shift him in we can.

Such disarray at Man United that they want almost anyone...

Would be ok selling him to utd. I will of course have the odd good game and score a blinder here and there,  but not got the game or consistency to dominate on a regular basis in the EPL. 

"Not too greedy" is hopefully our money back LOL (£36 million)

I am okay with Hakim leaving if he doesn't want to be here. Otherwise we should keep him. He can be a game changer. 

If he leaves we need to look into the market again.

Agreed, as much as I'm not a fan to sell to a rival, happy to see it happens if United put up a not so greedy bid. Getting a wide player is the least of United's worry.

If it works it would mean that the 45m for Gordon is actually as if we bought him with a bag of chips.

Cleaning Solution FC is rumoured to consider getting Ziyech back if ManU sign Antony.

Heard Antony is not for sale this window so I guess that means no deal.

You mean I can stamp on hopeful Cleaning Solution supporters' hearts?

 

He's getting closer back to Ajax.

We're losing another attacking option without replacement so far.

Why attack when you can press & play players out of position

Oh no.

However will we replace Ziyechs 3 goals a season? :(
