Keane is a player that should cost around £15m, but will instead cost twice that because of the added United tax. However if we can sell Smalling and Jones to offset that then it's not too bad.

Couldn't be further from the truth, especially if your are comparing him with David Silva
He has 1 year left on his contract as well. Simply absurd that he'll cost £25-30m.
Is Keane really an upgrade?
I'd rather stick with what we have, and utilise Axel if Jones and Smalling cant stay fit.

Yup, he's got better numbers in fewer games in Chelsea + United (including that Moyes season) than Silva at City in fewer games and he's got better numbers for Valencia than Silva too. (14 games more at Valencia but over 30 goals/assists combined more than Silva, 15 goals 19 assists to be exact).
Touche. Guess there's only one classy club in Madrid.
Interesting turn of events. He was quite close to Inter and they had allegedly agreed on the salary and bonuses, only for him to end up in Milan.
Under Van Gaal i don't think too much thought was put into any of the departures, Louis basically just decided 70% of the squad didn't fit his philosophy and just wanted them out. Didn't seem to care where they went or for how much.
Mata has 6 goals and 3 assists in 1469 minutes played in PL in 16/17
Silva has 3 goals and 7 assists in 2519 minutes played in PL in 16/17
A level below?
Has his form deteriorated or something?
Seemed a good buy for LB for us considering we have Milner and Moreno
Bad from coupled with some minor injuries.
Surely a move to a bigger club will be on the cards? Although seeing how he does for a smaller club would be good too.
Whoops thought it was Benficas Semedo. Havent a clue who this guy is!
The Portuguese fullbacks keep reminding me of Bosingwa.
This season Mata has 163.2 minutes per goal or assist. Silva - 251.9. It basically takes Silva one more game to score or assist. I don't know what @Zii is about
Whole Wolfsburg has gone to shite this season, the're just two points above the relegation play-offs.
He isn't. Smalling isn't even injury prone, not sure why he's clubbed together with Jones.
Not exactly reliable but maybe its worth reopening the transfer forum thread.
It is a different Semedo. Was posted earlier.
That article was in the OP of the Bale thread which was locked. As Raoul says:
@MaxiPaxi is on fire!
About time we dust off the Muppet sniper rifle.
A lad we, among others, were apparently interested in signing.
Should do well for Vitesse in a few years time.
Obligatory Vitesse joke, love it!
To laugh or to cry?
I never said this year mata has been worse then silva. Overall Silva has been twice the player of Mata, his ability to score, pass and run past men is better. Mata will never be world class, he is a luxury player. We can't afford to carry people if going for a title. Don't rate mata as highly as the CAF seems to
Haven't even heard his name mentioned this season since he was heavily linked with City last summer. Didn't he not only sign a new contract but also pick up a severe injury?
... no he hasn't?
Broke his leg.
No he hasn't Man City are nothing without Silva.
Who's place is he going to take? Could mean we're taking one of their defenders. Pepe will want to play every game.
Didn't we get linked with Marquinhos recently?
Wouldn't be surprised to see Jose interested in Pepe
