by Mr Nick09 Mon 31 Aug 2015, 14:47

Of course i can

United offered 40 mil, they said no

United offered 50 mil, they started laughing

United offered 60 mil, they saw the thirst was real

United offered 70 mil, they started group dancing, still said no

United finally offered 80mil, 50 mil + 30 mil in bonus,

Anyways, Moncao have sold a bunch of their players (Kondogbia, Martial, Kurzawa, Abdennour, Carrasco, Fabinho, Berba)

Could Moutinho be next? hmm

If United were willing to splash that sort of cash, why not pursue Lacazette?

Also that vine is amazing rofl

Now Mendes is going to make another truckload of cash today from the De Gea sale, I assume Laughing

by RED Mon 31 Aug 2015, 14:54

it's £36m. chill.

by dostoevsky Mon 31 Aug 2015, 14:56

Common sense suggests that I implicitly believe you RED, even without a source.

I thought PSG's Luiz deal was garbage when I first heard it though too.

Monaco would sell anyone, as long as to you put the money on the table

Martial, it's 11 league goals in ligue 1, 14 goals total all competition in career so far

80 mil deal, most expensive frenchie of all time

BRUH!

depends on what those bonuses are reliant upon

inb4 we have to win the CL etc

by Myesyats Mon 31 Aug 2015, 15:27

Best striker U20 in the world but the numbers flying around are insane.

Well, nobody will mention it if he will keep them goals coming.

by RealGunner Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:02

Combined fee is over 80m

Lyon put in a 25% sell on clause when they sold him to Monaco.

So United pay £36m upfront to Monaco (who in return pay Lyon £9m) while the rest of £22m is in added bonus.

According to french reports (l'equipe) anyways

by Unique Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:04

i wont lie and say i know the player but £36mil up front with addons is big money for a 19yo. is he that good.

by RealGunner Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:06

He is quite talented. It's there to see if he fulfils his potential or not though. Too early to suggest anything.

He is a lot more closer to Saha than to Henry though. In playing style.

RMC confirmed the deal, put the upfront value to 60 millions + add ons

by RealGunner Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:09

Yea. British media are trying hard to lower the fee lol.

by RED Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:10

Gonna wait a while until there is some substantial news about the figure we paid. A lot of conflicting reports atm.

We've been scouting him for a year so we'll see how this turns out.

I'd rather we spent it earlier in the window on someone who will instantly improve our frontline (which is not hard to do atm), not have another Memphis, who has quality potential but will need time and patience to adjust to the league.

Would love for him to start immediately, but that's not happening as long as that lump up front is undroppable.

by Hapless_Hans Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:13

Surely that's the craziest *bleep* transfer ever.

Thought Utd were behaving reasonable so far, should have known zero net spend would just be the overture to some collossal buffoonery Laughing

by Mr Nick09 Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:13

Why is Woodward such an idiot

Mr Nick09 wrote:Why is Woodward such an idiot

he worked for some Wall street investment bank until he helped the Glazers take over Utd.

That should be enough info about him.

by Curtinho Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:15

Not sure it's the right decision for him. So young and going into one of the highest pressure markets in the world for one of the highest pressure teams in the world. If he doesn't come out of the gate hot he's probably sacrificing a lot of his potential to make the big money move.

Also calling him the best u20 striker in the world seems a bit much.

by sportsczy Mon 31 Aug 2015, 17:18

I mean, he is a massive massive talent (been saying it for 2+ years now lol).... But 80 mil ffs. Watch Van Gaal never play him Laughing

well he is a successful investment banker and businessman, but dealing with stocks, bonds or options isnt quite the same as dealing with football players. and quite frankly he has been ass at his new job so far

Rooney's performance yesterday was enough to make the eyes bleed, and hoofball to Fellaini isn't gonna cut it. We're desperate.

Shambolic planning and timing by the club.
