Transfermarkt reckons his value is around £40M. Offer me 55 and I’d probably sell.

"IMO" or "I think" makes it read like an opinion
"United will be in the Champions League next season"
That's you stating a potential outcome that you think will happen, yet writing it as a certainty.
So what I'm trying to do it get you to seem less like a know-it-all and abrasive.

First off I caveat like that all the time and no one actually gives one when you say something they think is dumb. So spare me. Here is an example:

You can’t build the team around players who aren’t reliable, aren’t hitting their prime, or are massively unproven which applies to everyone you’ve listed, save for maybe Pickford if you give him some grace age wise because he’s a keeper. But even then he’s a keeper, and so you can’t really build a side around that.

Yes everyone there is expendable for the right money imo. Obviously some of the deals aren’t going to happen and so we’re better off trying to develop the player or find a role for them, but at the same time if for some reason someone did send us 50m for Dibling we should do it as an example.

Mate, you don't understand ball I'm so sorry.

You don't build a team by having players for 5 minutes and then moving them on. Pickford, Branthwaite and Garner represent a strong spine of a team. Dibling and Armstrong are very high potential players that will be allowed to properly develop by playing alongside like Branthwaite and Garner who ARE consistent, reliable performers.

We are clearly trying to put together a group of young players who will grow and develop together. That only works if you back your signings, and trust that they will reach their potential. The idea that (before him even playing a full 90 for us) we sell Dibling for the price we bought him and reinvest that money into another 19 year old expecting them to immediately have the impact of Ndiaye is laughable.

Just straight to an insult. So whatever. I'll say it however I say it.

Secondly it should be obvious that it's an opinion. If I said "Barry is going to win the golden boot" you wouldn't think I'm coming off as some kind of know it all. Because that's absurd. It's a forum for opinions. When you go down the pub with your mates and someone says "Ndiaye might be off to United" and someone replies "United will be in the CL next season" do you lose it because they didn't say I think first? Or is it understood that they're offering an opinion in a forum for such behavior. Maybe you guys do it different over there, I don't know, but it feels like an awfully dense way to live.

Anyway United are going to be back in the CL and if we don't sack the manager Ndiaye is going to be playing for someone else of a similar stature. He'll probably have a great World Cup just to cement it further too. Apologies for getting a little rant-y here, I just cleared hundreds of pounds of snow and ice for the third day in a row and I'm choosing to let it off a bit here. We all come to have a discussion and I take far more than I give because I don't tend to have the most commonplace views about this club. So as I said, spare me this nonsense alright?

As we won’t have European football again he will deffo be off.

 

[Swartzy]

I'd love it if we could get him on a long term contract. So far so good for securing our better players under TFG

We need to to show him the love now while we still hold the cards. I doubt he would even question it, but you know a release clause would be put in the Contract..

The man is a king of Africa, he doesn’t need Europe.

Carrick has a couple of good games for United, and all of the sudden they’re dead certainties for CL football?

There’s still be a lot of twists and turns before this season is done… You heard it here first.

 

[windymiller]

….we beat United with 10 men.

Still hoping for that commemorative DVD, Eggsy?

Elanga went for 55.

A bald, rotund Mbeumo went for £71m.

Ndiaye is under contract until 2029.

The bidding should start at £75m.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Hold up

Why would we sell when he is still under contract ?

Just slap a £100m valuation and watch united run

20 goals and 8 assists in a season will do that

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Not a chance he leaves in this window, but I'd defo be surprised if he was still here in September. He has been too good, too consistently for us to expect to keep him; I just hope we get top dollar and invest it wisely.

Because when he isn't under contract he can go for free...
