It's weird how we've come full circle.

I remember the heady days of 2002, sitting in German next to Arse-GAF foetuses arguing about how Wiltord for £12m was crazy so stfu about Ruud for £19m.

And it's come back around.

What a time to be alive. Again.

If people invest emotions when their team lose or win, why isn't it that weird that people invest emotions in the club's investments?

A lot of Leeds fans were outraged when Bates kept putting "their" money on restaurants and hotels, shows that it's just not all about transfers alone. It's the same with signing shitty players for high fees.

I'm notoriously really shit at reading people, I always have a hard time understanding "banter" on Football-GAF mumble.

In order for Real to receive all that extra 10m, Di Maria would probably have to win 100 metre gold at the next Olympics. #mufc

Errr..

Probably some mad clauses attached to it. Win the CL in 4 years or some unrealistic nonsense.

What is that even supposed to mean? He has to score 20 in his first season or something?

Probably means that to make the fee look better for Madrid they've put in clauses which will probably never be met.

Madrid can say, we sold him for £70m, but they'll only ever get £60m of it. Something like that.

I think you forgot how good he was at Liverpool.

He was incredible, but his abilities went down dramatically in his final half season at LFC.

Overpaid for sure but he fills a need and United was not in a position to bargain. I wish we had used the money last year to sign Strootman or Vidal instead of Mata/Fellaini but whatever.

Hmm..at least he is a definite upgrade for that money. We broke the record for a player who caused us to miss the mark far too often.

Fady, pls. Liverpool Torres was worth it.

Maybe if we got him a year before we did :( Can't believe it took him nearly 4 months to score his one and only goal that season >_>

Sean Dyche



nah

Even considering his injuries and somewhat indifferent form in the first half of 10/11, he was worth at least £35m.
Click to expand...

Even if he was worth that price initially, his actual performances didn't merit even half that unfortunately, and I say that as a fan who had a lot to admire about Torres over the last 3+ seasons.

People squabbling over a few million euros so the fee is slightly less ridiculous. WHO THE FUCK CARES YOU CUNTS

"It's a ridiculous price" - everyone
"NO ITS NOT, LOOK THIS GUY SAYS ITS ACTUALLY £63.7m NOT £64m!" - United fans

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

For. Fucks. Sake.

If we don't win I'm going to commit seppuku with Jozy Altidore's cock as the sword.

He should have gone back to Atl. Madrid for a season long loan after his first year for a confidence booster. now he's just a dead man walking.

Di Maria is wildy inconsistent, he's either your absolute best player on the pitch or the absolute fucking worst, there's no middle ground :lol

So you've basically replaced a broken Nani with a Nani 2.0, which is gud innit!

Vitesse are awful. They had so much of the ball for 60 minutes and do fucking nothing with it other than one deflected goal early on and the other team get one free kick and score. Vitesse now can't hold on to the ball PEC look like they will win. Terrible.

Di Maria will turn 28 the season United earliest can play CL again, they won't get that many years of CL football out of that buy.

10+ goals, 25+ assists in the season is not inconsistent

To be fair, PEC is a fairly strong team, it wouldn't be a huge upset if Vitesse lost.

Then again, PEC played last Thursday too and should be more tired, and Vitesse is just garbage tier.

I was under the impression that he kicked us 24/7. I don't think I ever saw Di Maria suck :p

As long as it's the 2010-2012 Nani I would be fine with that.

It's a lot of money but still less than Adidas will be paying us every year. He's going to rip people apart and I'm so so excited.

I havent seen any United fans defend him or Young for his diving, he is an absolute douche who obviously leaves his arm in and Young is a petulant diver. Every team has these players, you have Aguero for example.

I only was watching for Traore and then he got injured! I'm going to fly back out to Holland in January to see Vitesse for sure. I missed out on them last year.
