yep. some people are more interested in balancing the books than actually building a title winning side it seems.

6 million? Must be a nice Ferrari!Christ. Nani's (suggested) price is the sort of quote Cash Generator give for a Ferrari.
Did he under perform? I was under the impression he was frozen out because he refused to sign a contract extension. Looking at his highlight reels he looks very talented.It is amazing to see a player under performs, falls out of favor and burns his bridges at one club only to get signed for a better club.
I doubt he'll leave on a permanent deal, Giggs and Scholes seem to rate him highly unless he leaves on a free for some reason as I think his contract is up. We have offered him a new one though. Personally I don't rate him so I don't care if he leaves anyway.There goes another young RB from the reserves

If he's joining Valencia there's probably some Mendes shenanigans involved. I believe Lim 'owns' a good percentage of the side and Mendes represents them.It is amazing to see a player under performs, falls out of favor and burns his bridges at one club only to get signed for a better club.
You're right Mendes is involved. Infact he's pulling the strings. Probably got a fat check from Lim. Both him and the player.If he's joining Valencia there's probably some Mendes shenanigans involved. I believe Lim 'owns' a good percentage of the side and Mendes represents them.
Yeah heard about his attitude. Always sad when a youngster does this to his parent club. The least they can do is sign an extension so the club can make some money.Bakkali is an example of an extremely talented kid with a bad attitude who thought he made it already. He already played way more games than planned in his break trough season that when he was given a contract making him one of the best paid players (!) and second choice behind Memphis, who was pretty much guaranteed to leave sooner rather than later. He rejected the contract though and PSV completely froze him out, he has only trained whilst his old contract ran down. He already had big offers from Atletico Madrid and others, PSV also agreed a deal with a club for him but he rejected. He will now get his signing bonus I guess, goodbye little fecker.
He has the physical attributes to play in the PL and is almost a Valencia clone.. But is neither a good winger, nor a good defender. Lots to improve but like you said is apparently very highly rated in the club which is why I'm surprised we're selling him to CelticI doubt he'll leave on a permanent deal, Giggs and Scholes seem to rate him highly unless he leaves on a free for some reason as I think his contract is up.

The buying club are taking on the responsibility of a massive salary. Moyes gave him 100k a week 5 year contract. United paid him 5 Million for playing in Portugal last season.€6m - Jesus Christ it just gets worse![]()
Telegraph called it 10 days ago, wait and see if they're right I suppose. Also, wait and see if some of these people have a change of heart(except Orc, unless he's back supporting us again
).
Are you Dory?He's got maybe one year left in him and that's it, off the top of my head I can't think of a single centre back who was playing at a higher level past 31.
Are you Dory?
Sarcasm, ring any bells?Puyol, Stam, Desailly, Costacurta, Blanc, Thuram, Nesta, Cannavaro, Maldini...any of these ring a bell?
Yeah but you know Chelsea would sell him for 20 m.Funny to see how people dont understand why we wont get A LOT for Nani...
Yeah but you know Chelsea would sell him for 20 m.
Wanking over Chelsea here has become ridiculous.Yea they might but even with that people give Chelsea insane credit,like they sell players who were on the bench/stands for last 2 years for 40 mil. +.
In a market where some absolute dogshite players can go for £15m, we should be expecting more than €6m -- what's that, like £4m? It's ridiculous, Nani is an excellent player, inconsistent, but excellent. On his day he's world class and can make the difference against opponents of any calibre. He's too inconsistent for an elite team, but talented enough for the likes of Inter, AC, etc.Funny to see how people dont understand why we wont get A LOT for Nani...

I understand why we want rid, he's simply not good enough. But he's better than £4m ffs. We sold Michael Keane for £2m and he played about five first team games.Yeah, in theory he's an excellent player.
