If I'm completely honest, before this summer I said I'd bite anyone's hand off for £50m.

It really isn't that bad an bad offer, and i think that's about his worth. He's a decent but not exceptional striker. But Inter have shown their hand and they seem a bit desperate. If the club feel they can squeeze more out of them than fair enough.

I think they’ll do a deal, personally.

He must know he’s not really wanted and Conte is making big noises about how he does want him.

They played hardball, if reports are to be believed, with Perisic so I don't mind us doing the same.

I, like most oppo fans hope he stays and continues to perform like he did last season because while he's on your books, he's taking up a squad place, stopping you signing a better replacement.

I wish I could think of 56 million as measly.

I thought so

56mill! Ffs the state of him hes worth about half of that

In the right setup, he is an exceptional striker.

I'm sure if it wasn't £50m over 4 years or whatever shady deal they offered we'd have accepted it.

But in a world we have to pay £80m for Maguire and Felix is going for upwards of £100m I think we should be asking for at least £65m.

I don't think he is ever exceptional. There is nothing particularly special about his game, however in the right setup he can certainly be an effective player, and I'd imagine Italy would suit him.

We should be aiming for 70+ for him

never in the right set up?

To be fair they could offer £90m but they’d still want to pay it £10 a week.

How often do you see players score 25 league goals for a team who finish seventh? That is pretty much the definition of exceptional.

If not taking one of these offers for the big guy stifles the progress of Greenwood - we lose in the long run. We must move forward and clear out a few senior players to allow these young lads to progress.

Transfer fees don't work like that though. United are trying to buy players their clubs want to keep

Inter are trying to buy a player United wouldn't mind getting rid of.

That's the driving factor here between the different transfer values

It often seems like whenever we try to market value our players for sale, that some interested clubs are not willing to match or go near our valuations.

Yet some other clubs can manage to get a better return on players they sell.

£50m is a fair price. The fact we overpaid massively on him doesn’t change that. Fair enough if we want to hold out to see if someone will massively overpay on him again, chances are we’ll be stuck with him though.

You overpaid for him in the first place and most of you have been slagging him off, his last season has been shiiiit. So I dont undestand why you are now expecting to get 60-70 million for him. 50 million is a very very good offer for a striker with the first touch of Corky and who is 10 kilos overweight.

In the current market, Lukaku is worth a lot, lot more than £50 million.

I think it’s crazy to suggest otherwise.

The reason we’re struggling to get the right fee for him is because it’s clear we want to sell and because his wages are so high.

Gotta laugh at all these teams who try to rip United off for their players, then cry poverty when they can’t do the same buying players.

I don’t want to keep Rom, and I’d love to reinvest a decent fee we get from him as it’s badly needed. But if they don’t meet our value, then I’m quite happy the club are telling them to do one the cheapskates.

Gotta set a strong precedent.

Theyve seen what Liverpool and Chelsea etc have been getting for their cast offs and want to try do the same?

Problem is they've picked an Italian team to try it with ffs
