i actually have no real problems all round with this. Bentley wants to better himself, fine. someone made an offer for him, fine. we turned it down, fine.
at least he's not doing like a Berahino and demanding that we sell at any price. I'd hope that Brown, Martin whoever, would have sat him down and said that he can only go for a certain price and until that's met he goes nowhere.
it might well be that keeping him and stay up is worth the loss in transfer revenue. maybe.
besides, strange things happen in football
De Gea has just signed a new 4 year deal with option for another year! Come on Bents, he acted like a dick when he wanted a move but has signed a new deal. You know you want to, we could do with a massive sell on clause.
There might be a slight difference mate in signing a new deal with one of the biggest clubs in the world and signing a new deal at Man United :smile:
In comparison though De Gea is better off not signing if you think of the money he would get? Madrid would have him on a free he would get a massive sell on fee. Plus Madrid are bigger than United.
I think my initial response might have gone over your head mate...

Good to see someone not do what most prem players do and decide to strike just because they can't get their big move.
Top marks to DB for handling the situation with a level of professionalism and maturity that is rarely seen nowadays.
*cough* *cough* http://www.shrimperzone.com/vb/show...MRC-v-Southend-United-Football-Club-(The)-LtdI suppose if anyone had wanted DB badly enough they would have bid enough to get him. I'm surprised a Prem club (or even Hull / QPR) wouldn't go to £2m, which I would have thought would have done the deal. But clubs will have done their due diligence and for whatever reason don't value him as highly as that. Also, maybe we just don't need a quick £1m like we would have in the past. No one seems to know where the money's coming from at the mo but its been a while since any rumours of late wages & unpaid tax bills have been floating around. It just may be in our current situation that keeping DB for another year then losing him for free is the better option? Who knows..
