We paid more for Luke Shaw, 6 years ago, and now 23m is suddenly too much??
Guessing 20m for Telles would also be too much following this logic

£23m is fair is it not?
If we cant give what Dortmund Madrid want,just walk away.
Are people actually complaining about us trying to pay less for players, especially when it comes to Madrid?!
He would be better for less, especially as Real are insisting on a buy back.
Not if its essentially a glorified loan deal, which is what it will be if they get their way with a buy back clause.
Well the post I quoted didn't mention a buy back clause, it just said we didn't like the fee
23m is fair to begin with in a market where a teenager from the championship was sold for more than that 2 years ago and Ben Chillwell just went for a world record fee...
Atletico also paid around the same for Trippier a year ago who's 6 years older.
You won't find bargains at FB nowadays unless you sign someone up very young like Bayern did with Davies (which we could've also when he was recommended by our scouts...)

Man get out of here with that crap. Go jerk off to them on their forum.
Ha. Wouldn't surprise me to be honest. Just flog him to Inter so we have some more money to spend before it's too late.
I really like him. Provides competition for Shaw and moves Williams to the right. Good signing if it happens.
I reckon the way to protect yourself against a buy back clause being abused is to agree to it with a high sell on percentage.
Onda Cero claim it's close
Are they reliable?
I answered the question: Who do they think they are, by proposing they may think of themselves as the biggest club in most players’ eyes. Which I think is the case - that most players view RM as the paragon in world football. Nowhere did I make that my opinion.
But cheers for kind reply.You seem kind.
I said ages ago I thought this summer would be a repeat of 2018
GK 2018 Grant / 2020 Henderson
CM 2018 Fred / 2020 VDB
FB 2018 Dalot / 2020 Ruguilon
Failed to build on a 2nd place finish in 2018 and we'll fail to build on a 3rd place finish now

Are you old enough to remember the last 12 months RVN was at United?
We didn’t lose RVN to Real, we actively wanted him gone, anywhere. I loved RVN, but he had lost his place at the club, and he was even dropped for the League Cup Final. We actually sold him for a low fee given his record, and the fact he was still a good striker, just Fergie needed him to be sold.
No doubt Real are a big club. You would have been far better using Ronaldo as an example, instead you have just highlighted how we have used Real as an outlet to get rid of players we didn’t want, including RVN, Heinz and Hernandez.
Don't forget a declining Bale too
This is happening. Far too much smoke not to. If we are spending the Sancho money, i hope we do it on Thiago and Dayot as well. No to Bale
Madrid fans say the journo who claimed it for them, Edu Pidal, is quite well connected to the club and reliable.
He's been the one to break the news of certain sackings and transfers in the past
So for anybody who watched Sevilla last season what does he bring to the team if he does sign? In today's market seems a worthwhile risk at c.£30m.
Onda Cero is a very good source
Great news if true!
Would be happy with this!
I know we sold him willingly. But I’m focusing on Ruud’s demands at his contract renewal - years before it went sour. SAF writes in his autobiography that already after his second season - I assume that was in the summer of 03 - we’d just won the league, and Ruud wanted a RM clause, which became a reality. It landed on £35mil.
The fact that Ruud wanted a specific RM-clause tells me - that in a lot of players’ eyes, RM is the biggest club in the world. I disagree - but I think that is pretty clear by how many players RM have captured from enormously big clubs.
This is what we should be doing if we are not willing to meet Dortmund's valuation. Enough dithering around Sancho.
We're starting to add good quality squad depth after major trimmings and strengthening to the first team since Ole took over
Absolutely.. if No Sancho I expect no less than Regiuilon, Upamecano, Thiago and a RW loan from the club
Reguilon, Thiago, VBD, Upamecano would be a pretty excellent window. We'd still have that right wing issue, but I guess that just means more games for Greenwood.
The courtesy of staying with Bale well deserves a transfer without clause or whatever you like best.
They have also had to pay enormous fees. E.g, Kaka, Ronaldo, Bale and Hazard. Yes they have got them from big clubs, but at a massive cost.
For some players, they do dream of playing for Real, that’s a fact, and Ronaldo is an example of that. Or a slightly alternative view is that they dream of the lifestyle playing in Spain gives them, and therefore want to play for one of the top teams on Spain.
Would the same players have gone to Barca if they were interested at that time? Yes. Would Henry, Eto, Zlatan, Ronaldinho have gone to Madrid if they were buying that year, absolutely.
Yes it would, definately. Albeit too slow in market as always.
Excellent and sadly unrealistic. Upamecano is pretty much confirmed to be staying for another year and I can't see us going for Thiago on top of VdB.
"Reguilón is close to going to Manchester United"
I want him as much as Sancho, weirdly. He will add so much threat down the channel. I like Shaw as he’s a good defender but his attacking play is quite strange, he never makes what I’d call traditional fullback runs. Reguilon is a flying left back who’s all action. Exciting player
Don't mean to sound like a spoilsport, but not all that excited by this. I'm glad we're bolstering our squad, but would rather we put the extra £20-30mill on Sancho instead of a fullback who will inevitably want to go back home if he ends up being any good for us.
We could take a chance on Shaw, but what do we do about our gaping issues on RW and CB?
