People wanting near what we paid for him, seem to forget we vastly overpaid for him in the first place. We were always going to lose money.

Nah hes right mate. We got a fair price.
Remember how strong the pound is as well. From a PSG point of view its a lot of euros. This transfer has ended up making sense, so does the fee.
I think you need to chill out a bit.
Yep, I posted the rule in the Cillessen thread.
I think with the current state of the squad we would be thick to let Young leave, at times he was our sole attacking threat (Palace away) OK fair one he's not as good as some top players but he has the ability to beat players, cross and scores the odd goal as well. He has also added work rate to his game and defensive play which is great to see.
If we sell Young we will definitely be bringing in another winger as it would leave us with Depay, Januzaj, Lingard, and Mata. Not enough at all if we intend on playing 433 all year.

Link please?
Yes you can. If I were Ed Woodward, I'd be looking at the fact that PSG have paid £50m for Luiz, 42m euros for Silva etc. and thinking that they have enough to pay £50m+ for di Maria.
Its not rocket science, which you seem to think it is.
I am not stressed, though?
Going by your post, it's great to see how we're worried about PSG's budget.
Silva and Luiz were before the fine for breaking FFP rules and just few days ago the court decided in favour of the FFP, of course they are going to change.
Anyway, there must be some bonuses included.

For those asking: no chance whatsoever of Benzema leaving Real Madrid this summer (so no way he will go to Arsenal)
Good.
Selling Ashley Young makes no sense to me whatsoever. If that goes through then I'm truly stumped.
Gaitan
Hopefully not...
He seems to have more about him than our other recent no. 7's
If we buy Pedro then I would say it would be the right thing to do, problem is if we end up selling Di Maria, then may be we are better off keeping him as backup.
£17-20m for Pedro is a fantastic bit of business. He will give us so much more than the sulky Argie waster did.
Why do teams still want to sign Adebayor? He'll have a few decent games but thats it.
Tim Sherwood got Adebayor playing well when he was at Spurs, good transfer for both clubs if it goes through.
I wonder the same about Balotelli.
We're selling Di Maria for a fair price. I'd have kept him though.
I really hope we get Pedro, I've seen too many potential deals go down the pan so far this year though so I'm trying to not think about it too much.
Sampdoria president telling Liverpool that £7.1m is too expensive
Such a typical Pulis signing. Now he'll sign some obscure winger and shit midfielder.
He's one of Perez's favourites, so over his dead body.
Yeah. Some players keep getting picked up like those two, and Adriano a few years ago.
"A 12,000-mile trip to Asia sent Di Maria's Manchester United career on the path from 'good to bad'. How could it have been anything else??"
A set off balls for a start
Makes sense. Lambert's a very good option for a team that are aiming for more of a mid-table finish, but he hasn't really impressed at Liverpool and won't be good enough if they're aiming for a top 4 place, other than for backup perhaps. Might as well sell him if someone else is interested.
I'd also pretty much guarantee no one for saw the complete collapse of the euro against the pound. You can't expect PSG to pay more because our currency is stronger, that's simple economics. I'm sure ed has negotiated pretty well to get what were getting
Very true. People expecting to recoup near what we paid in Sterling shouldn't be surprised that we don't. You've got to go on the Euro figure.
Don't let common sense get in the way of all the caftards crying in the ADM thread about how Ed is getting fleeced by PSG...
No you precisely can have them pay more to compensate for it. Just like how we had to pay more to selling clubs to compensate for when the pound collapsed against the euro circa 2007 (going from £1=€1.50 to ridiculous £1=€1.10).
Except for the small matter of us not having a good keeper if he goes one week from the start of the fecking season.
Regarding Euro exchange difference - AdM's salary presumably is currently being paid in Sterling, if he moves to PSG then presumably his salary will be paid in Euros which will be less because of depreciation in the value of the Euro, points under discussion with Mendes?
Since when do clubs have to reimburse others for their mistakes? Because that was the only way we were getting what we paid for AdM. The simple fact is that he wanted out and he had a mediocre season at best. How much we paid for him is really irrelevant. It would be like Chelsea demanding 50 millions for Torres! If Di Maria was an undisputed world class player, maybe we can make the argument that he just had a bad season but he only was ever considered world class or played like one for 6 months of his entire career. We made a mistake paying that much for him last year in what was a clearly desperate attempt to get a big name signing to boost morale and whatnot. It did not work out and the club should actually be applauded for cutting its losses and rectifying the mistake it made without too much financial loss.
