Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

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.
My point was that spending £200m net of sales would be hard to do for any club. No one's ever done it under FFP, and city so far have spent roughly the same as united net of sales. If they end up spending an extra £100m on alexis and evans we'll see what they will do next. Perhaps they believe they can do it thanks to the TV money

Of course if city can do it, so can united.
 
If Martial had played like Sanches, I wouldn't have a problem with him going on loan, but they've had vastly different experiences after their big money transfers. Thus really incomparable.

To be fair, the circumstances were completely different.

Martial landed in a very mediocre team who lacked competitiveness or any sort of idea.

An injured Sanches thought that compete with players like Alonso, Vidal or Thiago was a great idea. I mean, you can't pick a more difficult context.
 
I think you're a few years behind the curve.

Eh why? He´s 24 years old and has 9 goals/18 assists in 192 games. He´s not a game-changer. He´s not particularly young and his numbers are mediocre. You don´t invest that much imho, when you can have him on a free as early as next year. Liverpool have done a lot of great business under Klopp, but this feels like the worst signing from a business perspective. At least developmental players like Karius, Grujic, Robertson, Solanke were fairly cheap. This is a significant investment into an largely unproven 24 year old.
 
What a bizarre thing to say.

Not at all. Germany, due to their sugardaddy restrictions, are forced into playing young players (53% homegrown rate starting), cause they cannot compete financially, so they are much more likely to give a youngster like TAA or Solanke a chance than teams/coaches in other countries.
 
If Sanchez goes what does Arsenal's first 11 look like? Surely it can't be Walcott and Welwick on the flanks all season. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy
 
He should have joined Chelsea and listened to Conte's polite advise.. you have no future in centre midfield.
 
I'm a big fan of the rest of the Premier League agreeing to do their best to make Pogba look cheap since he came back.

Also Natalie Sawyer is on Sky Sports News. Any chance MUTV can make a late bid?

Are you saying he's now conditioned to act this way?
