Got to say that I'm the exact opposite and can't see this one happening, especially with Walker all but sold.

Levy has said he won't be sold, he didn't say that about Walker, this won't happen.

Well, you must realise that "another day" realistically will arrive not before you've got two years left on your contract. If the club needs you, like in Dier's case.

Since when? Situations change all the time. Last summer Dier was worth less than he is this summer. Just the nature of the beast. I can see where Dier might want better terms now, based on his value, than last summer.
Does not mean he will get it - just means that I can understand why he might think his value is different this summer than last.

Oh this crap again. If you have/had a boss, and your boss said "would you want a better contract?", would you response be a) yes please or b) No, thank you. I'll rather stick with today's salary for now, if that's OK with you".

His head was turned last year but persuaded to stay with a new contract.
If someone offered you double wages, what would you do?

Oh yeah, the point being that pre-season promotional stuff ultimately doesn't mean anything, yet the media who are desparate for Arsenal to not be forced into selling their best players are happy to ignore this while still peddling the Dier to Utd bullshit.

I don't think we'd sell Dier and Walker in one window, not after last season. It would send out an appalling message.

It's not crap. With every new contract come new longer responsibility. You just know you are not completely free to change clubs.

But then again, it is crap for two reasons.
1) We all want the club to pay higher wages so that we can keep the best player. But then, we kind of fault the players for agreeing to higher salaries in the past?
2) Any one of us, any one who actually would be in the same position in some strange, ulterior universe, would have accepted a new contract as per your example, and viewed it as already deserved in the moment, not a paper of future loyalty. It's a very strange view to take that footballers should have this much higher degree of loyalty and morale than we would have expected from ourselves if in the same position.

Of course he's desperate to move to United. This is how our football media works:
Dier is desperate to move to United.
Alli is desperate to move to United.
Kane is desperate to move to United.
Pochettino is desperate to move to United.
Messi is desperate to move to United.
Ronaldo is desperate to move to United.
I'm desperate to move to United.
You're desperate to move to United.
@Archibald&Crooks' mum is desperate to move to United.

Does David Pleat count as ITK? He's still a very close advisor to Levy I believe.
Just caught a snippet of the BBC 5 live podcast and when the rumour of Dier to Utd came up he immediately said "no chance". Basically said he was too important and we're still mindful of having bent over for them with Carrick, Berbatov etc.

Absolutely, next thing will be some red top and/or low grade media outlet claiming that Man Utd are bigger and far more important than football itself......

So now they are saying we want Carvalho to replace Dier.
Where do they get this stuff from?
