City should be in for Aurier, if Pep can babysit him they could get the bargain of the window.
This.
He also left out the Scousers so we could double up on the laughs.
not just the content, but also the pace.
Our name gets thrown into every transfer saga.
Perils of having the biggest schlong.
No - all the staff are volunteers. Thanks for the compliment though.Decent shout. I'm surprised there's no discussion about Aurier on the Juve forum. Instead they're discussing TMNT and Biker Mice from Mars in the De Sciglio transfer thread.
If Everton bought him for a fee we wouldn't directly have to pay Rooney anything for any amount of time.
In my opinion Rooneys still worth around £20m so if we're paying 75 minimum for Lukaku that's pretty much £95m swing. Rooneys now pretty shite but hes still 30 and United and Englands top scorer. I think we could've and should've done a little better with this deal.
We've paid Bale and Ronaldo money and got Lukaku. RVN and Rooney himself were bought for alot less in comparison.
Think he'd end up like Maicon did, found out in a league thats a bit quick. French league would suit him more
If they bought him for a fee then they won't be able to afford his wages hence we have to essentially pay Rooney to move to Everton by paying the difference in his contract.
"Premier League elites and City"
Seriously, this is the best run forum I have been a part of. The mods and admins do a cracking job - you're all extremely fair.
Enough of the arse kissing from me anyway, back to the tweets!
Uhm Damo pal, I'm netting a hefty fee from my staff-gig.. You sure you're not being played?
Are you seriously trying to compare deals we did over 13-15 years ago to what we are paying now?
Chairmen do it to push up prices and start a bidding war. I wouldn't be surprised if we're not even near 90% of the deals we're mentioned in.
Given inflation, RVNs £19m transfer in 2001 would've cost £28m in todays money
And Rooneys £25m is £38m
Lukakus a good player but the fee is ridiculous.
Normal inflation and football inflation are two different things. The rates for football inflation are crazy.
And let's not kid ourselfs by saying RVN would be worth 28m and Rooney 38m. 18 year old Rooney and prime RVN would both cost anything from 70-90 million in today's market
We're talking about football transfer fees. Inflation isn't the same as on a loaf of bread.
That's normal inflation. The money going into football clubs, particularly premier league clubs, and particularly ourselves, have increased many times over. I have no idea if this website is right or not, but going by it our revenue in 01/02 was £146m. Our revenue in 15/16 was £515m.
Plus the rest for Rooney. He'd be at least £120m or so IMO. Probably more.
Thanks for the insight.
Even considering football inflation I still feel the fee is too much for a player like Lukaku when Bale and Suarez transferred for similar fees.
Lukaku ISNT an EXCITING attacking player in my mind no, he is a big, strong athletic striker, the type Mourinho likes, nothing wrong with that but personally I dont think he is anywhere near the quality of an Ibrahimovic, Drogba or even Milito for example and we are talking about a possible world record fee. I have said in other posts when Lukaku is at his best he is almost unplayable, when he isnt he is really really poor and of course I dont think we are signing him to track back, firstly he plays on the shoulder that is all he can do and secondly when I was talking about attacking you I was talking about flair and tempo, you have misunderstood.
I never would have signed Young and I was lukewarm about Valencia, neither of which have really cut it for me no, though I do like valencia as a right back....but how you say they are in the same category as Valencia and Young when the two players were totally different types of player when we signed them?
I would totally agree with your last paragraph. Since Ferguson retired we hired totally the wrong manager in MOyes again in LVG and we hired Mourinho in a sense of desperation due to his success. No, I wouldnt have hired Mourinho. I actually like him and think he is a top manager, he isnt the right manaer for us though. And by the same token with those three managers we have spent a shed load of money, mainly badly.
So to summarise in the hope you understand whether you agree or not I think we have the wrong manager, are signing on the whole the wrong players so far which we didnt do last summer, it gave me hope Mourinho was going to manage the club the right way a lot of fans would like to see us play but and generally we are still playing a style of football that hasnt excited me as a long time fan of the club
That was before the TV money and crazy china money, also they wasn´t sold to a premier league team big factors that have come into play with regards to transfer fees
Kane would cost £100m+ and an 18 year old Rooney was as exciting as Mbappe is now, so he'd cost closer to £125m imo.
They'll sign Walker and pretend they're not too bothered.
What Mourinho did at Inter and Porto was incredible no doubting that. Also yes football isnt always about glamour, when we beat Barcelona at home with a Scholes screamer for example we played very defensively but the key words are "isnt always". One of the reasons the elite clubs are so popular isnt just the history and success, it is the type of football and types of players they have such as our famous "7" for example, quite apt and no coincidence we havent been very successful with that shirt number as we havent trophy wise recently. Personally I think Wenger and Arsenal have failed because he has never really replaced the defence he inherited, he hasnt signed a real top quality cb since Sol Campbell a long long time ago and just importantly since his inital signings he hasnt signed a leader either. Brazil amagingly havent had a real world star of a striker until Neymar since Ronaldhino which was fairly short lived. We have a very good keeper, an immensely talented but still not bona fide proven midfielder and a really promising cb I think in Bailly, but in all honesty I cant think of a single player in our side that would get into any of Fergies top three sides.....my point being are we wigning the right type and quality of player to get us back to where we were only 6-7 years ago success wise and do we have the right manager to take us back 6-7 years ago in terms of being an entertaining side people want to watch, Im not sure.
Kin hell... What a slow day today.
Fecking hell, lads, this is the twitter thread.
Seems unlikely.
Prices have risen a lot since those deals
If roo goes to everton. Just to say fairplay what a legend. We wont see a player that good again
And based on those numbers, that means a Rooney fee of £90m in 2016 football money, equivalent to one Lukaku. Sounds just about right.
Literally wont haha. People here think pogba is better makes my head spin
I think that's an exaggeration. We'll definitely see a player of a similar or superior level again
£40m would be Ok for him, but only if he accepts lower wages. He needs to step down his wage expectations or step down his playing time expectations during this WC year.I'd take him for 40m, but I also think Real would want so much more off us than any other club
