So if Baines were to cost 16m and 100k a week he wouldn't be a good addition to the squad? What a weird way if looking at things.

I guess Carrick hasn't been a good addition either then, I remember the same arguements when he signed.

Difference being that Carrick had just turned 25, while Baines is almost 29.

Carrick wasn't and still isn't a six-figure a week earner, his fee at the time was extortionate though..regardless of his success; as with all English players we always overpay.

 

[Erentz]

Not interested in improving the squad then?

No, I'm interested in us improving our first team, and neither of them would.

Value for money and worth every money.

£14m, rising to £18.6m depending on the success of the club and the player.

Anderson, however a teenager untested in the premiership, reports suggest United paid between £15 and £20M.

 

[StuCol]

Hmmmm. No tweets at all on this page.

Anderson was 30m EUR, as revealed in Porto's accounts after the transfer was done (they needed to make it public IIRC). At that time due to the exchange rate, this was around £17,5m.

Nonsense!

Where did you get that € exchange rate from?

 

[Trigg]

Nonsense!

2007?

 

[TheReligion]

No, he's not an improvement as a central midfielder, a position which he has rarely excelled in. And we don't need him as a forward.

You are saying that Giggs and Fletcher in CM are better options than Fellaini? You must be mad.

 

[lysglimt]

When I did a quick check on exchange rates in the summer of 07 I found that the ratio between Euro and pounds was roughly 0,67 so £17,5 mill should be about €26 million or thereabouts

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Saw #mufc and Manchester United trending - got excited - then saw Jay Spearing was also trending - felt frightened.

Thank feck.

Riveting stuff

Not saying it was

Maybe something interesting, who knows.

Luiz?

Fabregas

Do Barca not announce transfers via the media and their website like everyone else?

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Nobody calls a press conference for transfer related news. It's probably administrative related or related to their on going tour.

 

[Joemo]

Barca are meant to be calling off a friendly game due to poor weather and pitch conditions. Nobody get too excited.

wet night, Brittania, etc

 

[Brophs]

I suspect this is bollocks, but he doesn't exactly seem like the sort of player they need to progress.

 

[Bojan11]

Most likely replacement for Gervinho.

Even if they sign Suarez. They still a bit short in the wide areas.

City bidding €40m for Will.I.An

Here in Denmark clubs always call press conferences to annonce big signings. It's fun. The unknown player will be waiting out back and then suddenly appear to loud cheers from the fans.

City bidding €40m for Will.I.An

Says who??

 

[walsh]

Cardiff really making some big moves!

 

[KanieKaned]

They may just do well this coming season. That's a decent buy

 

[Maajid]

Look out for craziness and red cards.

 

[Skywarden]

 

[Godfather]

They could give us Verratti.

 

[Bojan11]

Cabaye would make sense. Blanc is a huge fan and gave him his first chance at international football, when he was overlooked by Domenech.

Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray is keen to bring in new signings and The People reports he wants Manchester United midfielder Nick Powell on loan. Powell has also been linked with Wigan Athletic, while his United team-mate Michael Keane is also a reported target for Boro.​

[Scorpy]

I don't think it's such a good idea to send him on loan when we haven't even signed anyone who can play in midfield yet.

 

[Godfather]

I don't think it's such a good idea to send him on loan when we haven't even signed anyone who can play in midfield yet.

It would be better for his development though. He won't get much playing time here.

 

[Varun]

I don't think it's such a good idea to send him on loan when we haven't even signed anyone who can play in midfield yet.

He wont get much gametime here regardless of whether we sign anyone. A loan deal would be great for him if he actually gets regular minutes.

 

[Brophs]

He's pretty close to Moyes, from what I can tell, so it's pretty likely we're still in for both Fellaini and Baines.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Thing is, there's no marquee midfield signings available.

 

[SATA]

He's stating rather the obvious

 

[Scrumpet]

"Baines/Fellaini" makes it seem like he doesn't really know what he's talking about.
