City and Chelsea aren't holding back this window, jeez. Insane fee.
Throw us a bone Ed.

Seems like it's Sadio Mane or nothing.
It's looking a bit bleak on that front I agree, it's a shame we are leaving the attack so short.
I still fail to understand how they were removed, as far as I understand it clubs still need to break even.
City have a large revenue now though so I suppose it makes sense.
This is what has frustrated me so much with this window:
New Adidas deal
Chevvy deal
New TV deal
And if you take wages into account, we have probably saved money this year, yet there are a few clear holes in the team, and we haven't sorted them yet

yep, that might be a factor.
otherwise it sounds pretty odd, if it's any kind of guaranteed full amount.
It's baffling that we are leaving ourselves so short, say we have Mata, Rooney, and Shaw out injured for a while, who would we replace them with without our level taking a big drop?
The fact LvG brought Ashley Young on to play on the right wing last night was a sure sign we are short there, Mata himself isn't even a right winger, all very strange indeed given the fact some players are there and we have money to spend.
Indeed, i'm sure i read somewhere that Barnsley have a 15% sell on fee so if it was 40m they'd get 6m. Probably why we'd want a lot up front if that's correct.
Jesus, that's a good deal for Barnsley.
Do you guys think there will be one huge United rumor between now and the deadline day?
Seems very quiet from us at the moment. Not really linked seriously with anyone.

We've barely spent anything.
Read on Twitter this morning that Arsenal, Chelsea, and United have a net spend lower than the three promoted teams so far this summer.
it's not about just having the money, you also need the targets.
Losing out on pedro fecked us, bale/muller aren't available, so who is left that fits the profile. Greizmann ?
part of me is starting to respect the faith LVG has in this squad, maybe that's MY mistake though.

We've strengthened a number of positions; all our signings so far this window are looking good. There is a need for a quality striker, but unlike some years where we've been unwilling to spend, this year we are willing to spend but nobody is willing to sell.
Insane fee for them to turn down after a transfer request.
Nah I think we're done, we need a top wide man and a quality striker. There's no way no rumours would be circling if we were in for the above mentioned.
Evans will leave and probably DDG.
There's 4 and a half days left. I think LVG is happy with the squad and rightly so, BUT we are 1 or 2 injuries away from a disaster.. Again
Chelsea will sign stones this window no doubt. Deadline day deal
To an extent, I agree, but plenty of players have moved that could do a good job for us
Hope so.
Isn't Aymeric Laporte's release clause around this amount? I'd be sniffing around there if Stones proves impossible.
There is zero chance of that happening..this is dead in the water, mostly because its no longer about Money..
36 mil pounds..
How the hell do you turn that sort of money down for a defender who very well might end up not living up to his early potential?
It's either impressive or madness.

Can't see it. Probably something about trying for Mane again but they won't sell. There aren't really any viable options for right wing, which makes the supposed Van Gaal stance on Pedro baffling.
We should be all over that. He's better than Stones.
It just looks like a personal mission by Martinez to prove a point. They feel that big, bad Chelsea have been classless somehow by having the gaul to bid for their player.
Everton are one of those exceptionally irritating clubs that demand outrageous fees for their boys, yet take yours for ridiculous fees that'd barely buy league 1 players
Yeah it's a very shallow pool of options and even the presumed starting front 4 is not exactly filled with goals and is really lacking in pace.
The way Jose has unsettled Stones, Everton have every right to feel aggrieved and say no.
Its what I think happened too..the way Chelsea has handled this has annoyed Everton ..its like when we made a joint bid for Fellaini and Baines for 28 mil..they even put a statement calling our bid derisory
Keep seeing people say this. The way we unsettled him? The way we've handled it?
This is how transfers work. Want player, bid for player. A club says no to the initial bid? Increase the offer. It's what City just did with Sterling. In the end Liverpool realized they were getting an insane amount of money and allowing the player to progress with his career.
Everton seem to be making this personal when it's really just business.
If those new rules get real,oh boy i can not wait,its gonna be epic,heard on some BBC podcast saying how for Austin 15-20 mil pounds is more then fair place...i mean 
You havent been on the other side, and it shows..when you have a player you value highly an another club shows up and plays that process through the media to basically tell you to give him up, then the club obviously wont react well to it..If Chelsea had done their bidding in private and respected Everton's stance , then some deal could have been reached , maybe not necesarily this season but next...However, what has annoyed them is basically stance of "How dare you not sell us your best player with a week left on the window, with the only possible replacement alternative is Jonny Fecking Evans"
I'm no Evans fan, but it perhaps shouldn't be forgotten that Evans has played a lot of games for Premier league champions, and has a sh!tload more experience than Stones.
And If Stones is worth £35-40m, it seems mad to me that Evans seems to be being bandied around as if he's some league 2 chump
You can't really say the club has acted the same way as the supporters have. The club hasn't come out and said "how dare they not sell." All we've done lately is put increased offers in. Every time José is asked about Stones in a press conference he refuses to comment.
This whole "they've done it through the media" shit is so overblown. Every time City bid for Sterling it was public. Almost any time a big club bids for a player it's public knowledge.
I know that, but the Everton fans dont seem one bit excited at the prospect of losing Stones for him..
But apparently Everton told you privately that he wasnt for sale, yet you continued with this ...Apparently(From what I heard on the Everton forums), another team inquired too..they were told the same thing, and they respectfully backed off..you conveniently made bids making sure to inform the media of those bids even before they were made( Evident with all the journos coming out with the exact same thing about whatever bid Chelsea were to make that they were briefings)
Even when Martinez made the statement that Stones wasnt for Sale, Jose made the statement that it was basically wasnt his(Bobby's) decision ..that will have riled them up as they are putting out a united front.
Partly agree, though publicising the bid is a blatant tactic attempting to unsettle the player and force a transfer and not all clubs do that. Chelsea are amongst the slyest with transfers especially the way they feed information and misinformation to the press. They also love a hijack.
Everton do have to get real a bit especially since they are pissing their own fans off. They might even have considered the bid more closely had they been more successful with their own targets.
The fees are going to be a whole other level of mental next summer, aren't they? No wonder people feel disillusioned with the game, the money getting thrown around is crazy.
They will indeed. It is projected that the bottom club next season will earn as much in TV revenue as Chelsea made last season from winning it. About £100m. It's mad.
That's probably the main reason we're pushing so hard for Stones now. His price may be £60m next summer.
