CONFIRMED Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille

[Eric_Brooks]

I’m not trying to see the good, we don’t know any facts yet. I’m only trying to counter those that are implying that we are somehow immune from losing players. Or worse, that we actually are choosing to do it. I’m sure Spurs don’t want Kane to go either…

If spurs don't get what they want, they won't sell. Huge difference with them and us accepting 13m for Illy.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Is this worse than selling Deane and Fjortoft on the same day?

No.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Exactly. The club totally mismanaged his contract situation and should have done whatever it took long before getting to this stage.

Shambles.

UTB

We don’t know he would have signed. I agree there should have been earlier intervention though.

 

[Weasel]

I'm swimming against the anger tide on this one I appreciate, but provided that United get a decent sum then I'm ok with it. He was always going to go, it was just a case of whether we got enough money to make a sale now worthwhile. If it's £13m then that's a joke. But I think it will be substantially more. Either way, don't get angry about something you can't control.

 

[Bladesman]

Did we have our hand forced? He hadn't refused to play, he had said he wouldn't sign a contract. We could have kept him for the season, he could have joined them on the expiry of his contract.

But yes, I should grow up for expressing disappointment at the dealings the club makes - thank you for telling me how to feel and react

We were led to believe he might sign a new deal but clearly it was all bollocks from his agent. Probably just a play to get OM to up their bid to get him before his contract expires.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. And, I say again, we have no idea what we’ve accepted.

But I want to be angry, the other option is accepting how shite this season is going to be and Jesus I think I'm already depressed enough

 

[Blade56]

Come on Rocket Man come out and explain, we’re waiting……..

 

[LondonBlade89]

It doesn’t suit either side of the “argument” to disclose. It never does.

Totally. OM certainly seem keen to ensure that a number (not necessarily ‘the number’) gets out there which tells you everything.

 

[s20Blade]

If our owner was willing to sell Ndiaye for £14m knowing that it’s probably sealed our fate, then it would be no surprise to see Berge leave as he is in the same contract position as Ndiaye

What an absolute ridiculous situation we’ve found ourselves in

Can’t say I’m now looking forward to Aug 12th

Might aswel sell Berge tbh, unless we spend about 70m there's no real chance of us staying if if illi goes.

We really would be setting a precedents for selling players cheap wouldn't we?!

 

[ben1987]

Hi Stegosaurus here,

Like I said all along, we shouldn't have given Fleck a new deal and instead bunged it all towards keeping Ndiaye.

Steps to tell a forum full of people you’re a forever alone virgin without telling them your a virgin.

1: sign up to a forum for fans of a football club you don’t even support, in fact the fans forum for your local rivals.

2: name yourself after a dinosaur. I mean who knows anything about dinosaurs apart from 5 year old boys and a Ross from friends

3: refer to yourself in third person

4: laugh yourself silly while wanking your little chewed carrot senseless chucking at your little jokes.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Hopefully it got us more money!

 

[blader]

I’d be watching the Joel Piroe situation very carefully. Same age striker who had a good year in the championship last year, who is in the last year of his contract.

Let’s see how that piece of business compares….

 

[Bladesman]

Hopefully it got us more money!

I think it probably has but still annoying never the less.

DONE DEAL AND HERE WE GO!

Sheffield United and existential dread have agreed terms for the sale of all hope!
Following Iliman Ndiaye's £13m move to OM, Sander Berge will leave for Nottingham Forest for £6.5m while Anel Ahmedhodzic will move to Leeds following agreement of personal terms. Fee £3m.
Former Sheffield target Tommy Doyle will go on loan at Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield will now look to secure Rhian Brewster on a new five year contract

 

[Old Programme seller]

Proof in the pudding will be who we sign to replace him

 

[John Cutsbushes]

Sorry been busy with looking after toddler rocket. He's signing. 3 year deal. Progress has been made. There isn't anything to dove tail on with Nicko. 3 years. We are ALMOST there.

Please leave S2 and never darken our door again
You gave us false hope

 

[Harry's Game]

A big defeat against Palace and things could quite toxic from day one at the Lane.

 

[CPB]

Proof in the pudding will be who we sign to replace him

Probably hear we've already got his replacement at the club

 

[Torrix1889]

What saddens me the most is he's now going to be playing in a league no one watches. I wanted the world to see him rip it up.

Me and my lad said this yesterday, if/when he does go we wanted to see him set the world alight but sadly he will only be relevant in France and Senegal

 

[Blade58]

Proof in the pudding will be who we sign to replace him

Don’t bank on owt
Any signings may be the ones already in the throws of negotiations and not necessarily as a result of Ndiaye’s departure or as a replacement?

WUEDP?

 

[Broomhall Blade]

The club do

Replacing Ndiaye with (one season wonder) Akpom, only United could think that's good business.
What next Bannan for Berge,
Oh well at least we still have Fleck.
8/11 to be relegated stealing money.

 

[Slim Man]

never mind club saviours fleck and Osborn to save day.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Let’s see how that piece of business compares….

The lad from Coventry went for more....

 

[ATL Recs]

never heard of one getting in the prem and getting rid of their main man

Norwich

Christ! First Akpom and now Piroe! Tbf it wouldn’t surprise me if it was one of those two. The YouTubers hinted it would be somebody shite!

 

[Nick Jansky]

Don’t bank on owt

Or we might have had deals lined up in the event of his departure.

 

[Kendal]

Whilst he's an exciting player to watch, he's not a 20-goal a season player in the championship. But he's being turned into the next Pele by some.
Some will still claim it's purely down to selling him if we go down. But we're probably going down whichever way we go. That's the gap between 2nd & 1st div
