Wasn't he one of the first to tweet about Pogba being done dealio?

isn't Candena SER the equivalent of BBC in Spain or is it Candena COPE?
Doesn't he work for Bein Sports. So he will hear stuff about Spanish football.
Even the next door neighbour's cat knew that was happening though.
These quotes just from one page! Not really doing it for a lot on the Caf
I still don't get why we ain't going for Kane, He's young and PL proven. The money that's being flung about this window I'd take Kane for £100m any day of the week!!!
Probably because Spurs would tell us to feck off, and Kane by all accounts is perfectly happy there.
Levy won't sell him for 150 mil. That's the problem
Under normal circumstances, he would be a 30-40m type player. However this year's market is inflated by at least 50-100% from last year.
Because Levy would laugh us out of the room if we offered that.
Not for sale. Even if we kept on bidding more and more Levy would take it to the end of the window and then say no once more.
Those quotes were only from 2 months ago.
I've changed my mind now. I think he's the best we can do at the moment, and there's a decent chance hell get better
Before we knew just how much players would cost this year. The Pogba deal has set the standard now to where selling clubs know how much big buying clubs are willing to spend to keep up with their rivals.
That seems like classic revisionism now that it looks like we are signing him.
Very. I remember them clearly announcing that Thiago would sign for Bayern when everyone else was saying Manchester United and it broke my heart.
Robben
Costa
Coeman
Ribery
Thiago
Vidal
Sanchez
Martinez
Bernat
Alaba
Rafinha
Of course Lahm and muller are homegrown as is benko
Lewendowski was technically a free agent and not signed from another club but even if you count him
Hummles
Kimmich
Ulrich (reserve keeper)
Neuer
So 11 vs 5 or 6
One of us must be shit at math because I can't see how the vast majority of their signings are from German clubs
Erm I said he wouldn't cost that much (I was wrong) didn't say he wouldn't be a good signing
Fair enough, I thought it was obvious given, as you say, Pogba and all the money being pumped into the PL. I expected the world record to be beaten at least once this summer although it's not looking like it yet.
Edit - maybe Madrid with Mbappe
OK, but that implies that you don't think he's worth a lot of money.
I didn't think it would cost us as much as it has no. (Nothing to do with his ability)
Keys is absolutely not reliable. He said Jose was going back to Real at one point.
He's also the most ridiculous human being on the planet.
Cool username, by the way. You and Revan would get along.

Mine certainly did, it was that obvious.
At this time the market hasn't been open and we still didn't know what our options will be. Now it's clear.
Called it.
No its not. Say you go on holiday to the Namibian desert and get lost. You come across a shop in the middle of knowhere just as you are about to die. So you ask for water. The arse knows your a rich stupid tourist. So he says he wants 10 grand wired to him and to fk you up the arse. Now its a sellers market and you probably would die. But you would still call him all sorts for ripping you off. Economics 101 dessert styleeee.
Not going there on holiday.
How is his movement? His pace and finishing is decent, but I haven't caught up on his movement yet.
Been one of our biggest weaknesses this season imo, Rashford not experienced enough, Martial not good enough and Zlatan too static.
Not sure if serious but- in your analogy the buyer is shopping for the first time in that market, is desperate and is stupid. None of those apply to us. We're not run by a bunch of village idiots as some would have you believe. Ed is a very shrewd businessman and we have an even more smarter buyer in Jose giving the input.
Oh and I don't think anyone is stupid enough to pay 10K for water. Would come down to desperation.
Youve just explained supply and demand.
I lack sufficient privileges to post in that forum at this point. If that ever changes I'll be in.
I think it started long before the pogba deal.
Pogba was really the first transfer that smashed the record for a player many felt that despite being very good, was not worth that much. Clubs now know that wealthy clubs competing with one another for the best players are able to spend a lot more than what they did before last year. We're dealing with a brand new transfer world starting this summer and the prices will just keep going up.
Exactly. Even if supply is low and demand is high that doesn't mean you can't get ripped off. People think in these market conditions you can't get ripped off and pay whatever. Buy you can.Youve just explained supply and demand.

The money Southampton want for VVD is a warning as well. A lot of teams haven't done business yet and they might get a surprise.
