Exactly. It adds more to my point that there is option to buy.
Yeah, 50 for mendy, 50 for walker, 40 for bernardo, 30 for danilo, 35 for ederson, plus another 15 or so for young prospects.
They also sold kelechi for 25 and a bunch of others for around another 45 or so
Oh, so are posters finally allowed to criticise Bayern now?
They made a big mistake here, and they wouldn't be loaning him to Swansea with an option to buy if they thought otherwise.

Hardly failed if they are basically getting their money back, chances are with clauses etc.
Big clubs buy to improve their team and not to sell at loss. We only lost 15m on Di Maria but he was a very bad signing for us.
Yup, and unlike Sanches he still had quite an impact, iirc he had the highest number of assists for us that season.
But who cares about Bayern and their potential flop? Plenty of posters weren't sold on Sanches and while Bayern are well run, I don't think anyone believes that they are unfallible. You are working yourself for very little.
They won't make a loss! In fact they will probably make a profit at the quoted figures, albeit a small one.
Be very surprising if the renato sanches loan deal doesn't include a buy-back option for bayern
I don't remember poster names but many/few believed they are some sort of club who never mistakes in transfer market.
Absolutely incredible deal by Swansea. Even to get Sanches on loan would be a fantastic deal but to get him on loan with an option to buy is mindblowing
Net spend the same as you though.
Sanchez at £60m is just something you go for if it's got any potential, just because of how rare players of his level are available at that price, from your rivals.
Quite a strange comparison..
Martial had a fantastic first season and contributed much to our performance. He had a difficult season last year, however, still managed to get minutes.
Complete different to the Sanches situation as he only joined last year and hardly got minutes from Ancelotti + when he did it was fairly obvious that he wasn't ready for Bayern yet. So they loan him to give him minutes & hopefully confidence to bounce back next summer as they did in the past.
If we would have loaned Memphis you could compare the situations, however, not with Martial!
Didn't realize Swansea had option to buy Sanches. It's a great fecking deal indeed.
If it's loan with option to buy, it likely will include a buy back option for bayern. If it's a straight loan, then no need for that obviously
So... more than 200m spent then? You just said they'd spent the same as United, around 145m. My point was they'd spent far more than that ALREADY and they're buying Sanchez for a reported 60m AND they were already ahead of United in terms of their squad. City have outspent United in 9 out of the past 10 transfer windows.
We weren't discussing net spend. We were talking about spending. United have spent far less than City yet again this summer. For about 9/10 years City have outspent United.
David Orstein.
It's entirely based on the fact that Klopp will play him in midfield, whilst Conte saw him as an alternative to Moses at RWB.Why would he snub Chelsea for Liverpool?
Chamberlain wants to play in midfield?
£35m for Oxlade-Chamberlain and for some people here Matic was underwhelming signing
Who the hell are Liverpool going to have upfront if they lose Origi? And when Sturridge is injured? Seems weird to me they would lose Origi.
Funny how nobody seemed to want to pay 50M or even get the "turd that won't flush" only a couple of months ago.
The problem there isn't financial constraints. Back in June, with Morata escalating, Lukaku Chelsea-bound, no Neymar saga or mentalists offering 100M+ for Dembele and Coutinho, Perisic's fee looked steep.
Woody tried to turn the screws on Inter with FFP and has ended up with egg all over his face. Now you have an ego and bad blood problem, not a financial restraint one. Bad execution and it's too late now for Inter to even contemplate it.
Mourinho knows his squad and Valencia's fitness better than we do. He doesn't want Aurier, or PSG won't sell to us, or this court saga has delayed it too much (José isn't a fan of deadline day rushing). All better explanations than the Glazers not wanting to spend 25-30M.
Speculative, much?
Look at their young attacking players. They still rely heavily on Robben, Ribery, Muller and Lewandowski with no young world class potential/talent in sight. And everybody knows their history with direct imports from South America is a bloody mess. That doesn´t mean they are not a well run club. You can afford to burn money with Breno, when you get Boateng for virtually nothing.
Firmino, Sturridge and Solanke. German coaches don´t care about age. Klopp already played TAA/Gomez and he´ll have no problem using Solanke either.
The man with the bleached teeth, and Sturridge when fit. Solanke too.
Next tweet 45M.
I would have waited a year and gotten him on a free. He might have some untapped potential, but you don´t pay 35-40M for potential.
