Best believe Inter, Milan and Napoli's CMs would agree with this, also Bayern's in 2016 :agree:

Like I said, context is important. Fellaini £27.5m (RC), Herrera £30m (RC) Why are you even including release clauses? Now I don't know about Italy, but everywhere else, you can't negotiate RCs unless the player runs his contract down and leaves on a free. Mata £38m 2 time Chelsea...

Absolutely ran roughshod over England's CM. Must've read and heard all the pundits saying Alli was better than him :diculo:

Like I said, Depay and Martial were/are wonder kids. Martial before Mbappe was touted as France's future as early as 17 and Depay led PSV to a title. Fellaini was a release clause, can't do nothing about it. You're right about Shaw though, actually forgot about him still playing for us. Also...

Who have we actually overpaid for since Woodward took over? Falcao - loan Zlatan - free ADM - came of a world class season and a great showing at the world cup Martial and Memphis - hyped youngsters Herrera and Fellaini - release clause Romero - peanuts Schweini - 9m, neither good or...

You best believe if it was Chelsea, Milan or even Arsenal, RM will sell for 60m tops. This is clearly a power play for De Gea. Even if Morata was Mou's man, there's absolutely no way anyone in United's management is convinced that he's worth 70m. Luckily for us, we can pay the 'tax', but I hope...

Scored a great headed goal to tie the game earlier against Columbia. I got to be honest, we created lots of chances like that this year but couldn't convert. Mou very rarely gets his targets wrong, and if Morata is his man, I'm all for it. If he recaptures his late 14-15 form and starts...

They still need a bit more steel in CB and CM, but Kolasinac is a pretty good addition.

That's how negotiations works. They name their price, we name ours. If it's true we offered 60m, we already fucked up. Even if we met at the middle, 75m for a player that hasn't been first choice for an entire season is insane.

Bonucci is a defender whose game will age gracefully as he doesn't rely on athleticism and brute strength. Unlike Pique (for example) though, he actually knows how to defend as well. I rate him just below Godin and equal with Boateng as the best CBs in the world. 55m will be a huge bargain...

You're right, Dzeko wasn't exactly pulling trees up at City. To be fair though, his primary role was to play the foil to Aguero and was the 'out ball' whenever their defenders had to hoof it downfield. He has a good pedigree as shown by his stints at both Wolfsburg and Roma, and is at a good age...

It should've been Griezmann. Of course, we were all so lucky to have Atleti hit with a transfer ban. At this point, I'd settle for one of Cavani or Dzeko as a stop gap until Rashford is ready to lead the line. James as the 2nd offensive signing. To be clear though, my issue wiith potentially...

Ahh yeah, that makes more sense. I'm still cautiously optimistic of how he'll do in Year 2 now that everyone knows who he is, but the kid looks like he has it all.

Only because they both have whiny agents :lol: I'd take either of Dybala's two years at Juve over Martial's first year with us, and I'm a huge fan of AM.

So much hate for a club with so little history between you :lol: He had 15 goals and 4 assists this season, which is respectable, however we need stone cold scorers. I really like him though and I know it's near impossible, but if Madrid's willing to part with him for no more than 35m, I hope...

He was never going to be the next Messi or Ronaldo, but then again, who from this generation of players can say that about themselves? Any top team in the world maybe except for Madrid would love to have him. The Messi/Maradona comparisons are really weighing on a lot of people's minds, but he...

Only 6 clubs have won more than 3 CLs in their history. That is utterly depressing, but fair play to that circus in Madrid. They really got it right this time.

Personally speaking, I feel there's no shame in bowing out of a decorated career after a loss to arguably the best club side in the CL era.

I hope for your sake you don't sign Di Maria. Great player on his day, which doesn't happen all too often, but is totally useless when it's not. I know some of you say it's comparable to the Pirlo and Alves signings, but Di Maria was never a fighter like those two. Just send an open chequebook...

He responded to his biggest failure, at the time, with arguably his best period of play ever. Sounds decent at least when it comes to mental fortitude.
