The only part about that transfer, that I don't like is making the Merseyside Derby even easier for Liverpool :/
Marcus Rojo - Finally found a taker?
- Thread starter Hughes35
- Start date
Holly molly, 25m for Rojo feels like a new signing.
Prefer him to Jones, will probably get shot down for that view. Phil Jones may well retire here, he's championship quality.
Jones has already done 8, and this season will be his 9th
No wonder how much we have fallen when we have players like Rojo, Darmian, Young, Jones for many many years. Heck, even Fellaini stayed here for almost 6 years. And this trend didn't start only after Fergie. Anderson stayed almost 8 years here.
Yeah. Too accepting of medicore and shit players just stealing a living here.
90s Fergie would have bombed Anderson out the club after about 2 years at most, even he went too soft towards the end.
This would be mean that we've recouped almost 95m from Lukaku and Rojo transfers and spent 147m in total bringing out net spent to 52m.... With all that money left, we should have added two more signings.
With var this season he’d be virtually guaranteed a couple of red cards. Him never having been sent off in the PL for united is one of the most surprising stats there is. So really hope we can shift him to Everton
I’m joking
On the other hand, I think that we gave up on Rafael, Kagawa, and Hernandez too early. Not cause they were great or have set the world on fire after that, but the replacements we got for them were actually worse (Darmian, to some degree Mata and Lingard, and Falcao).
I dont undertstand why there is such shock at £25m as the fee. I do remember people saying when I talked of raising funds from a clear out "you wont wont even get £10m for Rojo"
£25m within the premiership as a fee between clubs is an absolute pittance

That's such a depressing thought. We really need to be a lot better at moving on players if they're not improving our team. Happy that we're moving him on. The £25 million deal that's apparently being talked about is really silly money. I'd let him go for even half that. More fool Everton!
Cause he played 6 matches (including subs) last season and 12 the season before that. He can't stay fit, and when he stays, he isn't that good and can easily get sent off.
In all honesty, any club would be better of trusting one of their own young players rather than spending that fee on Rojo. He just cannot stay fit at all.
The club's bank account like every other revenue.
His injury record is incredible.
I'm amazed anyone is after him.

He is 29 years old. He has played very few games in recent years. He is injury prone. He is not close to being good enough for a premier league club with serious ambitions.
So yes, £25m would be an astonishing figure.
I rather sell Rojo than buy Dybala.
Did they realy offer £25m??
Idve taken £5m
Idve taken £5m
He will likely be injured and not be able to play anyway
Surely not even Everton will pay that for him. I thought United would be lucky to get half that .
Love to know what Everton fans think of this 
Don't jinx it
Our fans have way too little regard and respect for our own players.
Ready to deride and discard but then cry foul when players want to leave or choose not to come.
Some fans just can’t see how much toxicity has been piled on to the club by themselves, instead choosing to blame it solely on the management.

Circa £100m for Rojo and Lukaku is fantastic business when you look at it in a vacuum.
Still need a Lukaku replacement but hopefully Tuanzebe steps into whatever role Ole had planned for Rojo this season.

Good price. And for Lukaku. Shame we won't be using that to strengthen the team.
1000%.
He's been eating up the wage bill for years for nothing. Virtually never available to play, except for Agentina.
I am not gonna comment further. Don't wanna jinx it. Just gonna hope he's gone by 5pm.
3 hours 10 mins to get the paperwork on this sorted.
Dont get me wrong I dont rate him. But he is an international player who has been at one of the biggest clubs for years, forget Rojo with us, who can you sign in the permiership for £25m, almost nobody
So you think players read redcafe prior considering joining us?
I think £25m is a good deal for Everton provided he can stay fit. He's a good CB, he showed it for us in Jose's first season.
The period where he should have seen at least 2 red cards for 2 footed tackles?
I jest, yeah he did alright with Jones during that period. Long time ago that now though
LCB: Maguire, Jones
RCB: Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Smalling
That looks like the order of preference for Ole.

There's no way we're getting 25 million for him, unless we're still paying his wages or something mental.
For Ole or for you?
I agree with it but that’s what it looked like in pre season.
That belongs in the things you can't believe are true thread.
I'd be shocked if we get more than 10-15 mil.
Frankly I'd rather have shipped out Smalling and/or Jones
Tyrone Mings - £26.5m
James Tarkowski - £40m
Lewis Dunk - £45m
Nathan Ake - £75m
It's absolute madness out there....
Nah, apparently players from Britain are the only ones that want to play for this club.
I'm beginning to worry Ole thinks he's SAF... call the shrinks in!
He's better than Rojo. Prem quality just not united quality.
