That fee has practically covered the Malacia deal. Net spend kings.

It gets even better.
20% sell-on clause!

20 percent of nothing is still nothing I’m afraid.
Why are people so obsessed with saved wages?!
26! Crazy.
Such a nothing player, Fulham have lost their damn mind spending that much on him but I'll happily take it!

Ready for an absolute blinder when he plays us though. 30 yard screamers, Scholes like passing, the works. The other 36 games not so much!
Because they play Football Manager excessively.
x2 there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the Glazers intend to reinvest that money anyway. Just more money in the pockets of those cnuts.
£100k/week is £5m a year. Money to invest elsewhere, whether on another player’s wages or a transfer fee.
It’s hard to define it in such a way that means something while also excluding Lukaku. For instance, I’d say it means a player can get in one of the top sides in the best leagues in the world. So England, Spain, Germany, and the top 2 clubs in each.
That's a good move for all parties, funnily if we straight swapped him for Fernandes last season, I'd argue that his output wouldn't be too disimilar... after such a shocking season from Bruno.
What?
Bruno crested the most chances in the league last season
yep because he plays as the second striker mostly and lost the most ball in the prem.
Why would he be pissed off at his team mates? He was also part of the team and the problem.
i was thinking that given the wages saved so far in outgoings United are quids in
De jong isn't Carrick he has different attributes. Carrick was better positionally and happy to sit at the base of midfield, whereas de jong is much better at carrying the ball and often vacates his position doing so
No, that was Trent who was also close to Bruno in chance creation. Obviously shows you have to take risks to be creative. Hence why Cancelo is above Bruno as well and he plays in a Pep side.
Wouldn't be surprised to see us play a back 3 with Martinez stepping into midfield when FdJ pushes on.
If Ronaldo leaves I also think we'll play some sort of false 9 of either Bruno or Donny with Rashford and Sancho playing narrow outside forwards running into the space left as the false 9 pulls out.
----- Rashford - Bruno - Sancho
Malacia - de Jong - Eriksen - Dalot
-- Martinez --- Maguire --- Varane

Would be a slightly mental lineup but potentially very good at keeping posession.
That's crazy money for a footballer.
i like this. Need a right back though
Yes I think the RB position would need an upgrade but perhaps it's less urgent as long as we have someone who can cover the ground and make crosses. With a back 3 the RB isn't always the last line of defence so the lapses of concentration that Dalot and AWB both suffer are less of a worry.
Also such a fluid formation would make the signings of FdJ, Eriksen and Martinez much more important.
Wasn't the point I was making, just saying we don't necessarily need a destroyer type DM which most seem to be clambering for.
In De Jong's own words:
And this is what Ten Hag had to say:
I think De Jong will play in a midfield two alongside either Martinez or McTominay. Eriksen doesn't have the nous to shield the defence and Fred is easier to run through than wet tissue.
I actually wouldn't be surprised to see us resurrect the 4-2-2-2 experiment that Rangnick failed at. Without a focal point at CF (now that Ronaldo is leaving), it makes sense. EtH seems to be getting his message through to the players better than the last guy. It might finally work.

He has been poor for the past 2 years, what's the point of signing a player no better than Martial.
On to Ronaldo, sure £360k is a lot of money & he is already a multi-millionaire, I think it is more the fact that Ronaldo was our best player last season & did more than others to try to get us CL football but when the rest of your team-mates (minus DDG) let you down by playing awful & you miss out on CL football & have a wage cut it would upset you, wouldn't it?
I think there's a good chance of this happening. It's the type of signing we tend to make when we panic and don't have any realistic transfers that we can afford. Hope he's not a total flop if it does happen.
Now this reminds me the ADM deal except most are not excited about this.
Mctominay is awful at shielding the defence though, hence why we need someone else for that position
Imagine if anyone had said - 1 month ago - we will get a talented Dutch left back and Christian Eriksen for almost the same price as Andreas Pereira is sold for
Not a fan. Hope Pogba tells him not to come.
Thats great business. Remarkably.
Hmmm. I knew this would happen when I saw the comments from Inters CEO distancing themselves. Ronaldo leaving leaves us up shit creek and I dont really think anyone is going to believe Martial and Rashford (on recent form) are enough up top all season. (Not to mention Bruno as a false 9 all season). Although Ive been wrong before.
I could actually see Dybala being signed for the RW. Ajax seem to be pricing Antony out of a move this year and we only seem to be making progress on Lisandro Martinez.
If we brought Dybala in on a free then I could see him playing that RW role while freeing up funds for a CF.

Malacia, Martinez, FDJ, Eriksen & Dybala - Wouldn't be a bad summer, to be fair.
