This was as predictable as the sun coming up this morning lmao.

The club never learns with it's sentimentalism. You gotta kick these scumbags to the curb and be absolutely ruthless. Instead that fat clown renewed him until 2028.

You can't do that man. He has a contract. He's officially our keeper version of Umtiti. Worse even. At least Umtiti got the hint pretty fast.

We'll see what happens, but if he kicks up a fuss to leave in January to prepare for the WC then we should not accept it unless it's a permanent transfer on terms that are good for us.

Hope they at least take the captaincy and the number 1 after this and all loans are off the table. Rot on the stands.

Go in order of best case scenarios.

Get rid of him and sell him for a decent offer, even 10-15m... dream like
Get rid of him and let him go for free, pretty damn great
Loan him while covering no wages with option to buy, very nice also
Loan him with percentage of wages paid, still very nice
Keep him and have him on the stands, good
Keep him and have in the team as a bench option, this is where it starts to barely work
Keep him and play him... please no
Keep him and start him... god no
Keep him and play him in CL... this is where nightmares start
Keep him and play him in CL in the knockouts... season over.

We are pretty decently with Stegen, one of the top options. Keep him as a tourist. Financially bad, but on the field, it works fine.

Jokes aside, we need to and will pay him. Outside of that, there's no obligation.

What needs to happen is for Garcia to start strong and prove everyone what it means to have a keeper who constantly saves tough shots.

Chill my dude...Stegen is a fucking doctor/surgeon now? :lol: That can't fucking be :lol: This is not something he can "announce" - this has to come from ours and independent doctors :lol:
Fucking chill with the stupid rumors and use your heads before posting BS :lol:
Dude !!!!!!!!!

Dont you see this is a power play from him.
He announced the 3 months, knowing well it requires 4 to de register a player.

This is politics from his side.
No wonder the press loves this guy. No wonder this guy still is in the team for a decade, let alone a captain, while being shit all his life. He knows how to play this game.

I don’t think it is Flick who wanted to get rid of him as much as the club hierarchy. Fact is he’s old, injury prone, on sky-high wages and deferrals, and declining in quality. Garcia was a perceived market opportunity and the club thus tried to get rid of Stegen. Stegen is fighting back now….

Nothing happens in the squad of this team, at this moment, without Flick having a big say in it imo. He wanted a LW, this is the position we were most active on to recruit. All names were vetted by him, picked one in Rashford.

It's his team effectively in terms of most aspects related to the squad and the roles of the players within it.
