If that is true than this sport is in more trouble than anyone thought possible.

His release clause is set at €50m I believe. Rumor is we've offered £34.5m which would be €42m right now. Thiago Silva went for €42m so this would either equal or surpass it (if it's €43m) as the most expensive deal ever for a defender which is of course completely silly. He's a great young talent, but that is way more than we should be spending on him especially with Nastasic already in the squad. Yes, he's played below last year but perpetual injuries and lack of consistent playing time aren't helping him get back to last year's form.

If we did bid that much, I hope we get Fernando in the deal too. The two of them for that would be far more palatable to me.

 

[Slizz]

Just didn't work out. I'd like him to go and play elsewhere, yeah. But he's to blame as well, not like he hasn't had some good chances and hasn't taken advantage of them.

Its annoying cause hes clearly well liked by players. I still think he's good.

 

[Yurt]

OH BABY

the superior Selena Gomez

 

[wedward]

Hopefully by some miracle he'll be fit for Palace. Doubt it though.

I think Rosicky-Arteta or Arteta-Ox should be enough to get the 3 points.

 

[Barzul]

Find it weird Chelsea seem to be getting Zouma almost uncontested.

The level of young talent on their books is really amazing.

They really are good at closing out deals. Don't mess around.

So do I, but I'm a little perplexed that he has such a small influence when shifted ten yards to the left. That can't just be on United's problems, he doesn't grab a game by the scruff of the neck and do something about it.

 

[Walshy]

Ugh, we're going to be the stars of that fucking circus tomorrow aren't we?

Inevitable but as long as we get it done.

What the hell was Lucas talking about Nigel De Jong for with Sky Sports for?

If you're buying from Porto, they're cleaning you out.

The one hard and fast rule in the world of football transfers.

Don't even bother enquiring unless you're willing to spend a shitload.

 

[Slizz]

Oh my.... who is this?

Summer from the OC, Rachel Bilson, my av, main-waifu, etc.

Supposedly signed a young guy from Hajduk (Mario Pasalic) today as well.

She is so damn hot. I can't believe that show she's on is still airing. Dixie something or other? Is that what this gif is from? She doesn't age.

I should hope so. Spending that amount of money is obscene.

FM legend. 15m as well? And City are about to spend 40m? Lol.

 

[Clegg]

All the best young CB's getting signed up. Time for United to finally give Jones a run there.

Wtf... no competition for his signature?

Its true he has not done well. But he hasn't had a decent run in the main playing 11. He has always played when either RVP and Rooney have been injured. He deserved to be given a run of 10-15 games to really get to know his style and ability. Which never happened.

 

[Vivalaraza]

All the best you CB's getting signed up. Time for United to finally give Jones a run there.

The road is now clear - we can finally secure Garay!

 

[Meier]

Fucking hell. Can't believe they got him for so cheap. Chelsea's transfer dealings since Torres have been pretty enviable. They usually pay a pretty fair price and they get shit done quickly.

[Barzul]

Chelsea are really good at transfer deals. Sold Mata & DeBruyne for 53m, sign Salah, Matic and Zouma for 44m.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Porto are going to get more money for Mangala than they got from us for Hulk. Hilarious. #BasedTxiki

 

[Clegg]

He's as likely an any. Rio and Vidic on the way out in the summer. Need at least one cb. Then one or two cm's and a lb.

 

[Slizz]

She don't age. I hate Hayden Christensen.

 

[Zabojnik]

Have Liverpool signed somebody yet?

 

[Meier]

This from the Mail:

City have been tracking Mangala, 22, for some time knowing the buyout clause in the Frenchman’s contract is £37.8m. Porto value Fernando, 26, at £7m even though the defensive midfielder from Brazil will be a free agent in the summer.

However, it is understood that a joint figure of £35m could be agreed if City are prepared to do business before Friday's deadline.

I'd be pretty okay with getting both for that price.

 

[pappe]

Fuck. Chelsea are good at transfer negotiations. Fast and furious. Who does their negotiations for them?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Find it weird Chelsea seem to be getting Zouma almost uncontested.

The level of young talent on their books is really amazing.

Well there were other clubs dicking around Zouma, but apparently he had his mind set on Chelsea after Mourinho talked to him.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Didn't know Mangala was French. Seems like they've got another group of really talented players.

 

[Elchele]

Kroos for 25M

Do you have any issues with me framing this? I highly doubt it will ever be said again, haha. (Unless you're being sarcastic)

Also, we got rid of Essien for free, pretty sure all 3 new players are on less combined than Essien was.

 

[Barzul]

Who is Otamendi? Moyes wants him according to Goal. And Duncan Castles wrote the article.

 

[omgkitty]

JWTelegraph: Arsenal looking to loan options, including Tello and Klose. Poss Draxler deal stalling on fee ... Story here: http://t.co/YuyncUDQQy

Klose? Sure why not. He's slow as fuck but we finally would have someone who could head the ball. Plus, he kinda looks like David Tennant.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Former FM wonderkid who turned out not to be all that. He's 26 next month, doesn't seem like a United class signing.

 

[Walshy]

No, but the signing of Yevhen Konoplyanka from FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk for £16m will probably go through tomorrow baring Ian Ayre does not fuck anything up.

There has been rumours that Dave Fallows, our head of recruitment for the club is in Spain to have talks with Rubin Kazan over Yann M'Vila. That one is probably a lot less likely though.

I can admit when a club does well in the transfer market.

 

[Elchele]

According to the guys in Transfermarkt, Boateng has a clause in his contract that guarantees him to play CAM or another offensive position and NOT CM.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

classic Schalke

 

[Vivalaraza]

Interesting. He used to be good in FM.

I think he is quite short for a CB.

Porto will not be selling both him and Mangala.

 

[Meier]

He is Mangala's partner at CB at Porto. Can't imagine they'd sell both on transfer day. Otamendi is Argentine.. probably will cost half what Mangala does. Good but not great as he struggles to get into the Argentina setup sometimes despite their typically poor defense.

Porto also has Maicon and a young Mexican named Diego Reyes who is a DM but could possibly move to CB if they got rid of one or both of Mangala and Otamendi.

 

[Elchele]

You simply don't buy CBs from Argentina, they all suck.

Argentine CBs are basically english players.

Diego Reyes played as CB in México, he's pretty good.

Telegraph are reporting that Wenger is holding up the deal because he thinks 37 is too much. Board want to do the deal.

Reporting our other options as Tello, Klose and Morata on loan.

For fucks sake Wenger. This should be an easy decision. It isn't your goddamn money. You will get your 8.5 a year no matter what happens.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Jupp is right, Otamendi is awful. Worse than Bruno Alves.

It's his transfer budget though.

Unless he gets assurances it isn't coming out of his summer transfer budget, then by all means he has every right to oppose it

Why not Draxler and Tello/Moratta on loan. Personally I'd be happy with two loan signings (Tello & Morata)

This is a valid point.
