Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he ended up at Citeh as Mendy is having a proper shocker, again
They won’t fanny around for 2 weeks over €5m either, they’ll just get the player.
Starts and got an assist too.
This was never really on IMO. Never felt like happening.
Do you have even a remote idea how much money €5m is? You can try a mental exercise how many years you must work at your current salary to make that cumulative amount. Or how many people can it cover for an year if all are on your salary.
Stop being senseless about money and football transfers. Every club negotiates and tries to bring the price down.
Are you taking the piss?
Ed, is that you?
Just wait two months and sign him for free. Porto can get to feck with their 20m valuation.
I dont think he can move until summer though right? He can only sign a pre contract in January.
And we ideally need him this season.
Yes, we get him when his contract ends, or they cave in jan and accept a lowball bid
This window has brought out many gems but you’ve just won stupidest post of the window, and of all time.
Do you think Ed is the only person who tries not to overpay? I imagine you have never ran a business nor are saving yourself...
Not at all. I am really irritated by people claiming a few million are no big deal and clubs shouldn't or don't try to reduce prices...
Honestly thought he was doing a Woodward parody or something. If he’s serious, then.. wow...
Do you have any idea how much money we generate? You realise the Glazers take millions out of the club every year, right?
If he cries at the end of the game then done dealio 
.
.Dude don't bother with these childish posters who clearly seem to not have much grasp about finances and think everything is some FM game or something.
The state of some of these Glazer sympathisers. This transfer window is indefensible
Do you think those 5 million euros were worth saving if it means that Telles could help United stay in top 4 or get further in champions league? Football is about success on the pitch also not only saving money. Its not black and white.
Agree 100% mate.
They think it makes them top reds.
And they think all the posters that are critical to the owners are plastic, feckin hell.
I think we’ll sign him after Cavani and our window is done
Last one was worse. 80m Maguire still haunts us.
Only want 20m
I'm not sure what's funny, Telles has been one of the most consistent LB performers in Europe over the last few seasons, in today's market the fee Porto want is fair enough.
I hope so,if not him than another attacking LB at least.
Bringing in Cavani without someone that can consistently cross the ball decently is like having pizza without the cheese
45-50m for a right back who can’t pass, dribble or cross wasn’t great either.
Yes, I do think that. If that amount can be saved by delaying negotiations, definitely.
We did the same with Bruno, If we got him in last August rather delayed it to get him on less, We could have a better season rather sneaking to top-4 on last day of the season.
When we learn?
5 millions is nothing if it means missing out on champons league next year and going out of champions league in the group phase.
And what is the guarantee that paying that much more would make that happen? That's such BS logic..
What do you think about us spending 10m in agent fees to sign a 33 year old injury prone striker on a two year contract while concurrently money pinching on Telles?
It's rumoured that we're spending 10m on agent fees to sign a 33 year old Cavani. on a ridiculous 2 year contract.
You're right and I'm stopping. It's pointless trying to make people sensible.
Not bothered about this.
Sign him on a free in Jan. Or offer them 3m for an immediate transfer.
We need to put our foot down and stop looking like mugs in the market.
Especially if we're signing sancho for 120m. Ridiculous money.

We’ve been brainwashed into thinking everything is a financial decision rather than actually improving our football team immediately.
Not sure what kind of message that would send to other clubs that we will sign a left back with 1 year on his contract for 20m.
We can get him on a free (or cheaper in Jan) and it will be shrewd business.
Again, I'm saying this as I'm expecting the bulk of the money to go to a Sancho bid.
I can't see why some fans are worried about the money when we paid a ridiculous fee for Maguire and may end up paying for Sancho.
Pay £15mil for telles is not really the issue when we got absolutely done for Maguire.
We need more threat from the full back positions, this guy gives us that, and we need him this season not in Jan or next summer, now! So get the deal feckin done.
Those wanting to barter over a few million, that's all well and good, but we are at the point of pay up or don't have anyone who can cross a ball for another season.

Yet at 27 no one(teams in top leagues) has been in for him until now beside us.
A 27 year old full back with 1 cap to his name who has a very modest club career so far with 1 year left on his contract and we cant even get it over the line.
To be fair to him he’s had Marcelo, Luis & Sandro to compete with.A 27 year old full back with 1 cap to his name who has a very modest club career so far with 1 year left on his contract and we cant even get it over the line.
