Natural Born Striker - The Mason Greenwood thread

I read his quote about Mason and took it the exact opposite way. I think it sounds like a lifeline. If he stood by the decision made by the Glazers, it would have been easy to just repeat it and mention the values stuff and that they wish him the best in his career and recovery. Instead, he basically says they are going to re-evaluate the previous decision and make their own. That tells me the door is open.

With that said, if I had to bet, I would say he still leaves. A big polarizing decision like bring him back isn't something a brand new owner wants to have as one of the first big things he does. Also, if he does plan to sell him, it reduces his value if he says we don't want him here, especially with clubs like Barca and Atletico sniffing around.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Greenwood has shown he's still an elite talent, but after what he did I would be happy if he nets us 50-70 mil and ********s off.

 

We will see. I don’t think it’s that cut and dry. I think that’s the right choice, but I don’t know SJRs politics enough to guess which way he’ll lean. SJR will also want to turn results on the field positive as soon as possible and to get a player that will undoubtedly help do that for free is probably very tempting.

 

As I have said, it would be a massive PR job for the club, especially after how Arnold botched it. Not sure it is worth the undertaking. I read that quote as him being guarded. He could have said no but hasn't made a decision. It seems Mason will be sold but they won't tell anyone until it happens.

 

You guys are being so dramatic. It wouldn't be that difficult, the public's attention span is hilariously small. The main problem would be integrating him back into the dressing room after public backlash from his teammates. That and him being strong enough to deal with player and fan abuse during games.

 

Yeah, this fanbase couldn't consolidate or keep their eyes on the Glazer Out prize, and you think they're going to be able to do it for Greenwood? Give me a break.

 

Agreed. The public blowback would be short lived as long as no big sponsors pulled out. But the heat he’s getting now in La Liga would be amplified times a million in England. And yeah, the dressing room could be a problem.

 

Public attention for murdering thousands of migrant workers never even slipped on the radar for Qatar.

 

Like I said the club botched it. The gave him no public image read events with battered women. This situation called for Olivia Pope instead we got Michael Scott.
