At £8m people said it was a steal and no chance of it actually happening. At the now rumoured £13m-£14m people think it's extortionate and we're being taken to the cleaners. So what was the fecking right price? £11m-£12m? FFS, get a grip.

Well it is a 75% increaae.

Either way, a little pricey but when converted to pounds, clearly not extortionate.
 
The last week has actually been pretty cool, there is a clear direction to what is happening now . The non performers are being cleared out from the wage bill even though it may cost us a few million in their fees but the club realises that they need to go quickly.

No other source reporting this at all?

sky sports have picked it up. but it's coming from the original Bild link.

But then sources usually start in one place don't they?

In a week even Howard Nurse will have picked it up.

Fjörthoft forgot one aspect. Schweinsteiger did not sign or want to have any contract talks last season or until now. It is him who let the story open - not the club who wanted to talk with him about renewing the contract when Müller and Lahm did prior to the World Cup. And - if you ask some of the older reporters - Schweinsteiger has talked about going to the EPL somewhen even early in his career.

Terrible effort.
 
Mirror have taken the 20 million Euros and converted it to 20 million pounds. That will probably be the general conception. 13 million pounds is a good fee for both parties.
 
Also, it isn't really similar to RvP at all. We paid £24m (or something) for him when he was 29. Paying that much for a striker is fecking mental because they have a shorter shelf-life than pretty much any other player. Which is also why we received so "little" from Fenerbahce for his services -- we were just happy to have 250k+ a week off the wage bill I'd imagine. But a deep-lying midfielder like Schweinsteiger could quite easily play at a high level into his mid-to-late thirties (ala Pirlo, Scholes, Xavi).

Anyway, obligatory updated muppet XI:
----------------De Gea
Darmian--Otamendi--Smalling--Shaw
------Schneiderlin--Schweinsteiger
----------------Herrera
--Mata/Depay-----------Di Maria
----------------Rooney
 
Hope this is true. Bring in Schneirdrlin and we are sorted in the MF. Go get Otamdeni and we are done for the summer.

Definitley like this transfer. We're buying one of the best german players there is and if Pirlo is anything to go by then, rightly managed, he could be a terrific player for a fair few seasons to come. Lets hope we can keep him injury free. At the very least have him or Carrick available at any one time :lol:

:drool: Finally something I like, just two things, Otamendi plays on the left and Depay and Di Maria played more on the other wing.
 
It must have only been about a week ago when Schweinsteiger was definitely off and Ramos was definitely on. Oh how everything can change in a week.
