Woodward: You didn't think I meant pounds, did you?
Seriously though. If 40m is the figure they would be mental to turn down a £15m profit on a player they don't want, in terms of FFP if nothing else.
Oh wait, are you being serious?
of course not.Everyone just seem so sure no player wants to stay if we finish outside top 4.
twatSky Sports say this third party shit is nothing to worry about and is pretty normal apparently?
He's played 12 or 13 games and he's made 30 chances. Compared with Valencia, our top chance creator who also plays nearly every game, on 19, its like night and day. Will be a real good signing if we can get him in and clicking with the lads.
Good grief.
Racist.
Reminds me of the 'imposters' who were involved in the Herrera deal...

It was obvious I thought.
You can just feel the tension in the thread. Loving it.

Don't be lying now. You were totally serious but you stuck a little green fella in there now because you realise how stupid a question it was.
A poster on Rawk:
I do wonder though why Mourinho is ok with selling to us.

You mean dream of going back to them?
Bearing in mind that that is this season, a season where he has been on the fringes. His stats for the two previous seasons are crazy.
It's not just the chances he creates, but the goals too. Plus, he's good in the big games. Plus, he's a nice lad - which is always nice.
Irwin even posted it in the pessimistic posters thread

If the club have hired experts to deal in this transfer then that's good. I wouldn't have trusted Woodward to knock a wank out never mind a deal.
Can Mourninho fall out with Hazard and Oscar in the Summer! 
He likes us.
Wait, so the bid has not even been accepted yet? Then why's everyone so excited?
He gave them Victor Moses and they haven't used him (justifiably so, cause he's shit..). It's pretty clear though that this is for different reasons. He'd be concerned about Bertrand getting game time in the same way.
Jose said in the summer how he is willing to sell to rivals, how it's done often in other leagues and you shouldn't be scared to do it. He did it with Gallas remember. In the short term, he doesn't see us competing with them anyway. 40m is a huge amount of money.
Plus, it feeds his ego of him being brave, taking risks and not being a coward.
Haven't they contemplated on the part where Chelsea gave them Moses and are refusing to take him back now?
Yeah if I owned a $2billion business and was just about to make a 40m investment, I think I'd have specialists handling it. I cant believe fans think clubs trade in tens of millions based on nothing but two execs having a chat.
To speculate completely what this looks like to me is that agreement has been reached in principal and now the finer details have to be worked out. Again, its seldom like buying a car where you turn up with a cheque and drive away in a shiny new motors.
With deals of this size, both in terms of capital investment and operating expenses (bonus', wages, add on's etc), I'd imagine you end up with a table of accountants sat round trying to make it work. Thats why you usually never hear much from clubs about these mega deals until they're all but done.
Were they willing to pay £37m for the loan?
Can Mourninho fall out with Hazard and Oscar in the Summer!
Yup. That is his plan all along.
Lack of other bidders. I can only imagine there wouldn't be too many teams willing to shell out 40m for him.
As for not doing business with Pool, I always get the impression Jose hates them almost as much as we do.
Wait, so you are saying Moyes doesn't actually send an e-mail saying "£40m for Mata? Lol."?
(What you've said does actually make sense though.)
What if this is just one big troll by Mourinho?
That bounces
They are not a happy bunchWouldn't put it past the cnut.
The weird thing is that if this is the norm why is it being reported differently to any other deal?
That is a beautiful man.
