One of the richest clubs in the world want to pay a Championship club nothing for one of their players with two years left on his deal.
He’s probably seen Cucho go and Zinckernagel go cheap and thought he’d chance his arm. Don’t blame the lad.
Either the Man Utd stuff is nonsense or they really have been haggling for a few days over Daniel Bachmann. What a time to be alive.
Elliott missing as well which would suggest the rumours earlier on in the week could very well be true
Potentially. But also possibly the one where he's been sacked after the police were called after he had a boozy night out with Foster.
Oh wow. Where were those rumours? Does seem unlike our club to be so unforgiving. And if Bachmann’s off to Utd then I think we’d have to sign a new HG #2.
“They were interested in Watford's Daniel Bachmann, but Watford, justifiably, wanted a fee for a player with two years left on his contract and United were unwilling to pay what the Championship side wanted.” - Daily Mail. So Okoye and Bachmann competing for no.1 spot then.
So strange when you consider the ridiculous fees and wages they have paid over the last few seasons. A few million to sort your back up keeper? Just get it done and move on to next thing.
You’d think so, but it’s still real money. They will waste fortunes on a Sanchez or Pogba, but pay catering staff poorly and overprice their replica shirts. It’ll be someone’s job to set a strict limit for a back up purchase like Bachmann or at least negotiate it hard. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-42886915
Bachmann want to go and will probably kick up a stink and we will let him go for a pittance. 2 years from now someone will sign "The Man U reserve keeper" for £15m and consider it a steal.
Yeah, but the time now needed to go and find another back up when they could be focusing on other matters just doesn’t seem economical given the state they are in,
Rob Elliott has been released. Club want another GK according to Leventhal. So either Bachmann is staying and they want to send Dahlberg out again. Or they are still open to selling Bachmann and might promote Dahlberg to No.2
