Bit too slim for my liking
According to Monaco it is. You know, the selling club.
I highly doubt it... but thats what Monaco are apparently telling the French press.
Apparently.
Theres been a few mumbling's that we may still 'owe' them the Falcao fee.
Nah, gotta be wrong.
We shouldn't be paying 80M euros, or any remotely similar sum, conditional or otherwise, for a 19 year old who's had no career to speak of.
Weirdly this hadn't even crossed my mind until now... but that's not a bad shout, what with Monaco supposedly being a Mendes club and everything.
If this will go through for €80M it will be the most ridiculous transfer ever made.
I'm assuming they've missed a decimal point between the 3 and 6.
I don't think even the most stubborn on here would deny that.
I think we'll be mental to put a league and CL title bid in the hands of Memphis and Martial (since Rooney isn't going to lead us to anything). Both so young, new to the league and will be very hit and miss for a while yet. We have to bring in someone else tomorrow.
I don't think that is ever going to happen under LVG sadly.
This lad will most likely play the same role that Januzaj has been doing so far this season...and then after conceding possession a few time he will be replaced by Fellaini
philosophy!Fecking announce it already! I want to know there's still hope for a new winger tomorrow.
Monaco are absolutely bullshitting here.
Expect them to next say 80m plus a season loan of Old Trafford.

Dunno about being slim but after today I'm going to go bezerk. OK OK I'll show myself the door.
It could be worse. At least when they had Falcao when he knew what a football was.
Maybe we're trying to secure a sponsordeal with Mars inc. M&M's stadium?
Need to sleep but I'm gonna miss something epic, I can feel a surprise signing happening.
I also agree that there is something dodgy going on with this deal. I mean yes i know Woodward is a muppet but even he wouldn't pay this much for a 19yo unknown. It stinks to be honest.
It's only 10.50pm. You're grand for another 30 mins.
People seem to be conflating 'unknown' to themselves and 'unknown' to football scouts. Why don't we wait until he's played a few games for us before we start screaming bung?
Thanks for the refresher I've regained my composure and stopped panicking. Trying to sleep through the chaos and wake up to a lot of news, it's like Xmas all over again and the excitement of new players arriving.
Has there even been an official fee / bonus structure announced as I have seen 36m mentioned in euros and pounds... And suggestions this fee also covered whatever still owed for falcao.
All the way up to 80m which is such a huge variation that I'd sooner wait for confirmation as to what actually has been agreed before getting worried about it
No, people see the figure they want and start pissing into their own mouths in protest at the inhumanity of it all.
Does he have a chance of qualifying as home grown when he's older?
If the transfer fee truly is €80M heads will roll. The club is a public company and the shareholders will demand to know why funds are being spent in such a careless manner.
There is simply NO WAY we paid 80million Euro's or pounds for this kid.
It'll be 35million pounds tops. Even that is a huge amount for a teenage talent who has yet to have his break out season.
I don't mind, its not my money, but today had been a field day for twitter wind up merchants.

Monaco do not have to sell and they know we are desparate to land a forward. They will be pretty stupid not to take the €80m offer as I doubt they will ever receive a higher offer for him even at his peak 
.
.Basically nobody has a clue what fee has been agreed! And if it is some huge figure that's probably going to include wages etc?
It can't be 80m Euros... Even with addons.
That's how much you pay for a player at the height of their powers. That's how much we could pay for him in 3 years when he legitimately is the best French player around. 80m Euros is what we would expect Madrid to pay us when they inevitably want to buy him...
I see no way in hell that that can be the real amount.

Where did this transfer come from? Anyone know anything about this guy?
There is no limit for some of the stupidity during this window, so I wouldn't be surprised. We bought a player for 10m pounds who hardly looked like a footballer so...
SSN said that the deal for Martial could rise to make him the most expensive French player to transfer clubs, beating the record set by Zidane.
Yep nothing dodgy about this deal at all.SSN said that the deal for Martial could rise to make him the most expensive French player to transfer clubs, beating the record set by Zidane.
