Would it such a tragedy if he wasn't offered this humungous deal?
Sure he is one of our best players, but throwing cash at him and his agent is not going to stop him if he wants to leave.
And that money could have been spent on signings.
Just sayin, thats all.
And Joe Gomez offered a new deal? Why is that?

You do what you can to keep your best players. He is the best player in the PL for me. As good as he is the bar has been set at £150k a week.
If an offer comes in during the summer (which it will) we don't have to take it and no doubt his head could be turned. That happens in football. Agents ruin everything. His agent will have got a payment for this contract being signed and he will get another one if and when the player is sold.
Fantastic to see him signing a new contract but it is a stepping stone to him being picked for the pot.

Good news, also looks like no release clause, so that's good business, if Barca want him they will have to pay big.
It makes sense to give Gomez a new deal, you have to tie down your best young players, that's what Tottenham have done, so they have a strong future, if you sell, it's your choice and you get big money.
We tied Sterling down to a long deal and it meant we had the strength to hold out for a huge fee and sell when it suited us.

On his day he's one of the best in the PL, he's one of our best players and has improved and become more constant, he has plenty of improvement to come which will make him one of the best in the world, hopefully with us.

If Coutinho hadn't got injured he would have been our best player so far this season, or on par with Mane who has been extremely good. He was on fire before the injury.

Manchester United own the three best-paid footballers in the Premier League, as the Mirror listed the top 24 wages in the top flight.
Paul Pogba is the Premier League’s best-paid player on a whopping £290,000 per week while Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are placed in 2nd and 3rd with £260,000 and £250,000 respectively.
Manchester City‘s Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure are 4th and 5th, while Raheem Sterling is in the top ten on £180,000.
Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho’s new deal puts him on the list with £150,000 per week, while teammate Daniel Sturridge also makes the list, earning £120,000 per week.
Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez make the list while the surprise package is West Ham’s Dimitri Payet, who is the 19th best-paid footballer in the Premier League on £125,000 per week. I can understand for Ibrahimovic who was a free transfer and also performing well, but Pogba's wage is indecent to say the least
