I never said Fellaini up top, I was simply comparing them technically, as in touch and ability on the ball, both are horrid. Lukaku has the power to barge past numpty defenders for sure, but we saw what a smart CB like Blind could do against him despite the size difference due to how poor his touch and movement are, he's a blunt instrument who isn't good enough for a club that is supposed to have PL and CL aspirations and an identity of playing good football.

Neymar is probably on more than 480k a week let alone a month.
550k a month which is roughly about 137k a week. Not outrageous with today's wages that are thrown about. What's he on at Leicester?
Per month, not per week.

Manchester United keen to sign Fulham wonderkid Ryan Sessegnon | @SamWallaceTel
Stoke 1-0 Man Utd.
Sean Dyche wants to take over at Crystal Palace | @eaamalyon
Hire Huges as our manager then.
I thought he's going Spurs?
No way he'd betray his City past
Sessegnon is certainly worth a punt. Think there are better clubs for him in the short term though.
No way he'd betray his City past
I see the point.
So wait till Tony Pulis sign a player to hire him ?
That sounds more sensible
Had a brainfart, was thinking as a weekly figure even though I wrote monthly. The Griezmann news has ruined my state of mind today.
That is a fair enough price for Mahrez in that case. Just did a search and he's on £55k a week. Deserves more than that in today's market.
you would pay him more than Ronaldo and Messi... I think thats a typo in the tweet. I refuse to believe he demanded that
Per month.you would pay him more than Ronaldo and Messi... I think thats a typo in the tweet. I refuse to believe he demanded that
It's not that bad, is it? About right for a proven PL attacker.
Why does every journo or pundit seem to think that we can only sign one player in attack? Absolutely baffles me, we can't sign Griezmann because he's not a 9 and we need to replace Ibra. Well guess what, more than 1 player in a team can score goals...
Absolutely ridiculous that we can't even seem to understand that if we sign several top attacking players that will more than make up for Ibras goals, rather than be resigned to the fact that there's no individual as good as Ibra so we'll have to just accept being worse
yeah I saw that I was replying to someone elses post.
it would equate to 137.5 a week. I would not say that was outrageous in this day and age for someone like him?
Roma refused a 30m offer from Liverpool for Mohamed Salah.
Why would City want him? They have more attackers than most teams have players and good ones as well. Don't think Milan and PSG could afford the fee alongside other signings they'll need to make.
Chelsea possible I guess but no-one has been mentioned except us so I reckon Woody is trying to show we'll walk away. Deal will be done IMO
Not a move I can see Salah wanting to make. He's an integral part of a well functioning Roma side who are miles ahead of Liverpool in terms of on field performances and general squad quality. His time at Chelsea probably hasn't cast the English game in a favourable light either.
I can see the opposite. He'll probably want to prove that he wasn't a flop at EPL and the problem was in Chelsea not giving him chances, not that because he was terrible. I think Roma just wants to raise the price of his leaving and let's be hones, 30m seems too low in the current era.
Salah is of the same nationality as mine, though, it'll be painful for me to see him benefiting Liverpool tbh. I love him, but hate them. Don't know how I'll connect both. Difficult situation.
Almost accurate - there would be tons of cash though
550k a month is 137.5k a week. It's high for someone who's had only one great season in top flight in his career but definitely not outrageous.
And that was in Euro too, wasn't it? Around 120k pounds per week?
£120k a week, considering how he performed during there title season I think it ain't bad...
Falcao extends until 2020 with Monaco.
Watched a lot of Roma this season (TV) and Salah has been impressive, good work rate, good skills and an important part of the team, can't see him leaving unless it's for a Stella club
You mean the (so far) one season wonder and the bloke who couldn't get in the barca side? Ok.
Monaco fans will be relieved that someone is stopping.
120k a week on a one season wonder that downed tools is excessive IMO, but football has gone mad, any half decent talent earns a kings ransom.
