If its 200k+ per week then it better be a 6 year contract.
Btw, since we already pay top wages to all our players, how many players can we afford to pay 200k+? Excluding Rooney and Ibra, who are here for a short term, we'll have DDG, Pogba if he comes, Martial definitely in a few years. All very young in their footballing age. That's insane amount in wages.
 
Last summer was pretty exciting tbh, and yes the one before. But this one because of also Mourinho if we got Pogba tops the lot for me

Was happy with last summer, but it missed that top galatico signing that gets your muppet hormones go bananas (Schweinsteiger didn't do it for me)

We're fine

We make those amounts on Mr Potato commercials alone.

Welcome to the future. As "insane" as it seems, it's only going to get worse and we'll either be able to offer them or we won't.

That's why we shouldn't underestimate the sponsorship deals etc Woodward ploughs through.
 
We can sign all the players we want, without the right man to manage them it means nothing as we've seen. Getting Mou already made it the best summer in a long time for me, him acting like I expected in the Transfer market is just icing on the cake, huge amounts of dripping, shiny, unctuous icing, but icing nonetheless

Yeah, more reason for fans to understand the importance of global pre-season tours.
We are leaving behind 99.9999% of clubs in wages. That's why we find it hard to offload most of our top earning deadwoods. But with the influx of money in PL, maybe not for long.
 


I believe that too. Seriously, as soon as the Euros are over and the hype train has reached its peak, Madrid will swoop in, get their man for around £65-75m in a few days, and that'll be that. All this Pogba to United noise is simply to make Madrid stump up the cash. It's bloody annoying though, that we get sucked into these things and used every summer. We should just call their bluff and sign a couple of other players before they buy him.
 
Will be even sweeter if we swoop him away from Madrid!!!

And then the media will say how United was snubbed once again despite offering far more, even though there are only a couple people in the world that KNOW exactly what United offered.
 
I swear he posted earlier saying that we're in talks with Pogba? This guy has no clue.

To be fair, both those claims could be true. If - and a massive if - we're going to get this done we need to act more quickly than pretty much any transfer we've made in our recent history. Granted, that wouldn't be hard to beat, but we really need to press this one home ASAP. If we hang around Real will most probably swoop, if they don't anyway.

We also cleared out a lot by way of RvP/Falcao/Di Maria.

There will also be outgoings this year so I think we'll be OK overall.
 
Some poster last night made the point that if RM wanted Pogba they wouldn't have activated the Morata buy back which makes a shit ton of sense.

Aren't they hoping to flog him for an inflated price, which would then help them buy Pogba?

I understand it's a bit threadbare as plans go, especially if nobody coughs up the 60mil they supposedly want for Morata.

It would have made more sense to give up their federative rights on Morata as part of the bargaining to sweeten the deal for Juve.

Now they took one player away to sell for a shit ton, so they can buy another player away from the same club. Can not imagine Juve would be too happy about that.

Yeah I can see where you're coming from, especially if Juve wanted to keep him or bag that money themselves.

Personally I can't see anyone buying Morata for the kind of price they've been asking for.
 
It's the same every summer. No talk what so ever about players leaving us (players we want to leave, not DDG). Why aren't we hearing talk about Fellaini and Rojo?

And we're all the same when we read all these rumours about players joining. 50 news about someone and we all say "he's a wum", "not trustworthy" and so on... but then we see one minor rumour about that player being wanted by another club and we all panic. :lol:
