Ronaldo's transfer didn't start this. His price was actually acceptable - reigning world player of the year and without a doubt one of the best two players in the world. These youngsters (Hazard and Lucas) have proved nothing but are demanding comparable fees.

£80,000,000 looks like a good deal for Ronnie now.
Of course we didn't do anything wrong; like every club in the history of the game we wanted what we felt he listed was worth. It's agreeing to pay these fees that does it.
Ronnie was a brand much like Beckham before but also a rediculously talented player. The shirt sales alone make a whopper return coupled with what he brings to a team. 80 millions was a bargain, I personally think he could have broke 100mil if we wanted it.
Real we're gumming to get their hands on him.

Never mind the blame game, who's our next target? Get me some Isco news!!
It was a deal, a steal, the sale of the fecking century!

Will they ever learn?
atleast it's not 35 million.
£15m on Joe Allen is absolutely ridiculous money. Swansea signed Michu for £2m. There will be an interesting discussion on who had a better season when we get to May.
I hope the way Rodgers has behaved comes back and bites him in the arse.
They should buy Leon Britton too.
@Drasdo And now hearing rumours #MUFC #IPO likely to price below range. Could be interesting! Mind you I heard rumour RVP was having medical y'day.
$14 confirmed by the way. Below the $16-20.

Robbie Earle has said on ESPN that ever since RvP understood United, City and Juventus were interested in him. He only ever wanted #mufc.

I hope this is over soon, I had a dream about him the other day FFS.
@ManUtdStuff Breaking: Manchester United IPO priced at $14 per share, below expected range of $16-$20, 16.7m shares sold a total of $233.8m raised.
I want to sign him on FM, but I did that with Hazard, and Moura
Thats funny, been playing FM like a bastard this summer and bought and then sold Moura to yes PSG yesterday and the comment he had was that the move suited him because it was a more cosmopolitan lifestyle or some bollocks.

I signed kagawa, Lucas, muniain and neymar, my inner muppet really took over to make up for us losing out on players in real life
Can't believe there have actually been rumours of a 19m plus Welbeck on loan for a year deal for RvP

Anybody that's not a spastic report it?
Been quiet in here today.
The calm before the storm of more bollocks.
I think that would actually be a bit of a deal. A year under Wenger would be fantastic for Welbecks development.
No way it would happen of course.

Guys twitter only please
It would be a great way to neutralise a potential title rival. They get your up and coming striker, you get their established world class one, only when we play each other they can't use the loan player.

City did that with Adebayor.
Juve have bid £12.5m for Llorente
Maybe foreign players aren't charmed by the thought of Manchester in contrast to Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Turin, Milan etc. There again it could be the money. We are a great club, but players and their families consider a lot of other things now.
Football Agent @FootballAgent49
Yeah, he has the typical Agent name on Twatter, but he usually posts fairly resasonable and reliable stuff. Believe what you want...
His contract is about to expire next year so a £12.5m bid might actually tempt them.
The update will be something like 'MUFC and AFC officials still locked in talks over Robin Van Persie, situation will be resolved within the week'
Fixed
Also, why the feck would a football agent risk his professional credibility by posting ITK info on twitter.
12.5m for Llorente? To be honest, i rather we go for him than v.Persie
That said, i doubt Bilbao would sell him for that amount even if his contract expiring

With only one year left it is possible but I think those Basque players are pretty loyal and he wouldn't leave for free, he'd agree an extension just to secure them a fee if he leaves.
With how much RVP is costing with a year left, £12 million shouldnt come near to signing Llorente.
I agree; frankly I'm surprised he hasn't been linked with moves throughout this window.
Fergie is not at the game, he did go to Germany. And guess what Arsenal are in Germany too.
