considering we'll be offloading the likes of Llorente who already hold high wages it would have been worth it and considering where he club is at I think he would have settled for something a little less, but it's man utd being stupid again stacking their squad with the same types of players neglecting the major areas of concern. $#@! them I hope they get knocked the $#@! out of the group stages

berardi is not a 'playmaker' at least not strictly speaking
Well, the Firmino part is guessing of course. We can't know that but Man United will almost certainly buy some defenders and have a really strong squad next season... Plus seeing as Bonucci or Marchisio are only getting 3,5m per season we better remain careful with giving other players more. Only our proven champions earn more.
No, of course Berardi isn't a playmaker but fielding (2 of) the trio Tevez, Dybala, Berardi can easily remove the need for a playmaker. It'll give us much more creativity up front.
