Don't besmirch the trades. What makes you think they would tolerate him?

Sign him on a free and sell him to Chelsea for about $50m before the window closes?
Yeah we’ll have him.

Roma interested no surprise there.
Might be seeing him at the Amex then…..
Probably not wise to use the phrase “mutual consent” in relation to his departure.
Psychobilly freakout

I would not be surprised to see him turn up in Spain or Italy to be honest, they are catholic countries and the devil, angel complex with women can be somewhat strange in certain areas.

Redemption is something that is earned and given over time, not through a press release.
Would highly recommend Adam Crafton's deep dive in the Athletic. Some remarkable details about how the investigation was conducted and how the U-turn occured -

Sounds like he's off to Saudi anyway. Steven Gerrard knocking down his door...

Oh yea - idiots from day one to think they could have got away with it - thinking with their balance sheet rather than their brain.
Quite right really. It’s not their fault that an asset that was probably £80M and is now worthless, and owed £8M in wages. With FFP as well as being a public company they have to act in the interest of their company and shareholders

The most curious thing..
Good point, well made.

Not quite right - the club is owned by a tiny number of very wealth people and a handful of vulture funds. Given the amount that has been harvested out of the club by the Glazers (and the vulture funds through interest) - the money for Greenwood is inconsequential.
But irrespective of that - a dog with a mallet up his rear end would have (and the Glazers should have) known that any attempt to reintegrate Greenwood into the squad would have been a disaster in so many ways - and would have had an enormous financial impact as- people would just have stopped buying merchandise (I had planned buying some kids kits for may grandkids for Xmas - my son is a Man U fan - but it's not happening now - and it not happening just because they contemplated bringing him back) - impacted on advertising and sponsorship - would have created instability within the club (never good for a company's financial welfare) etc. - and quite possibly some players could have opted against signing for them because Greenwood was there.
