I prefer PM in this case.
Every squad can beat us if we didnt buy a 100m robben replacement.
Played a great Euro. I don't think he's past it

"That's almost foul play if you can sign Reus when you already have Götze."
Thomas Tuchel, Mainz coach, 2012

So the Wolves deal is all signed, sealed and sorted now.
Doesn't perhaps look like it's going to be the megabucks, Man City or Chelsea arrangement that some were hoping for, but we do at least now have some direction and somewhere to go in the market. Interested to see how it all shakes out.

I'm assuming the 20m-30m figure was one of Morgan's conditions. There's no point putting too much stock in what he says the new owners are going to spend.
One thing is clear, they're not here to stand still.
Sounds pretty much like Mr Chansiri's investment with Wednesday last year.
It's not megabucks, but "some direction and somewhere to go in the market" was enough to make us competitive at the top end of the league and get to the play-off final. Also, The Championship still rewards shrewd business. A combined £6m for Gary Hooper and Fernando Forrestieri is outrageously good value compared to a "Megabucks" signing like £15m for Ross McCormack or £12m for Jordan Rhodes.
This season is going to be ludicrous for The Championship, though. In terms of the collective aspirations of the division with so few rewards available, I bet there won't be a tougher division in world football this year.

Oh yeah, taking all that with a pinch of salt- if they legitimately want a Premier League team, and I see no reason why they'd have bought in if they didn't, then the cash is going to be flashed.
Interested to see who the new manager's going to be now that Lopetegui's off the table.
He finally won a contest.

Fucking disgusting.
Him and Reus are supposed to be on the same wage level too, which I think is outrageous.
Never felt so bad about a BVB transfer since Ikpeba.
Amoroso never happened.

Amoroso was a proper exciting signing and won us a Bundesliga title to be fair.
We all know now that it was stupid financially, but was fun while it lasted.

Oh sorry, forgot to answer.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure. He played a great Euro but had a disappointing season with Fiorentina. Could go either way. I'd reckon he's worth a gamble, though, as he'll be rather cheap.

No comment.
I dunno why I'm mentioning this, but like three months ago there was a discussion about what happened to Ganso (the Brazilian playmaker/attacking midfielder who was all the rage back when he and Neymar were at Santos). Well, he signed for Sevilla last week (presumably as Banega's replacement?): http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/83...ssed_his_medical_examinations_at_sevilla.html
Will be interesting to see how he fits into Sampaoli's system.

Sevilla always does amazing with the limited money they got, especially if you see what other teams are spending like Newcastle who spend more than 100 million on new players and then relegated that season.
I read somewhere that Ganso was an amazing talent back in the day, but has had some major injuries and since then it's not that good anymore.
On football manager he was on a godlike level.

Very nice. I do not begrudge him!
Thank you.

Barcelona has officially announced Gomes
And for 35 million + 20 variables. It's a steal if you consider the prices paid in England.
So weird because all the Madrid press were sure that Real were only details away from buying him.

This is what it feels like to be a United fan every summer for the past couple years. Everything points to United doing all the legwork for a transfer and then someone (Mainly Bayern) come under the radar and get it done. We will feel it again when Madrid steal Pogba.

Not gonna happen, Real could only buy Pogba if they sell a big player like they did with Di Maria to pay for Bale.
Apparently (take it with a grain of salt) Real wasn't interested any more in Gomes when they learned that James doesn't want a transfer.

Well if they want to get us up into the prem as quickly as possible like they said they do then they'll need more than the 20/30 million Morgan said they'll put in over 2 years. Our squad is pretty threadbare, 2 fit strikers once dickho is ready in a week or so is pathetic.
I'm expecting new manager and players to be revealed on monday, if we get the players who we were rumoured to be getting once the takeover rumours started then that'd be a good start!

Why does he wear the mask!?
Madrid won't pay what Utd are willing to for Pogs
I guess Gomes is content being a squad player for now with the possibility of becoming a regular starter. Can't see him getting much game time over Kroos and Modric or Rakitic and Iniesta. Could end up being a very expensive cup player for Barca.
I think Tuchel could make him a good player again, still not worth 30M lol

If those numbers are real, Valencia got mugged. When you consider the sell-on fee to Benfica they're barely turning a profit. A young attacking mid like Gomes should get €50M before bonuses in the current market.
Iniesta's already 32. Gomes will play a lot in his role and take it over in two or three years.

The Spanish media are claiming that Juve and Chelsea offered more for Gomes but he wouldn't accept the transfer. That's why the fee is so low.

That's a good move by Barca.

Good signing and at a good price

Well that would put a bit of weight onto the City rumour about Kroos. Essentially it was that Madrid had approached City to drop out of the race for Pogba and that if they secured him then they would sell one of their high asset players City had been enquiring about. That was back when the figures weren't silly though.
So Madrid could be still in it depending on how much City are willing to pay if there is anything to the rumour.
The key was James and nobody wants to drop 60m on him, so the Pogba thing is not happening.
All Madrid did was inflate the price for Utd.
Schalke will win it

Another club bought by people who have no idea about English football.
This is the norm now, unfortunately.
Not even sure they had that much to do with the price tbh. Pogba has 3 years on his contract, is 23, United want him bad and have bonkers money to drop and the grinning maniac Woodward loves big deals. To top it off Juve don't want to sell him.
Reportedly when he signed for Juve part of the contract meant that Raiola or Raiola + Pogba would get 20% of any future transfer fee. Since Juve apparently want E100m all for themselves they are pushing the price up or trying to get United to pay whatever the difference is.
Who knows. Redcafe has been melting down since Raiola was reported to be on the way to Miami to meet Pogba. Despite nothing indicating Madrid are in for him it's just full of "he's going to Madrid" type posts. Though I can understand it a little after all the players we've supposed to have been signing for the last 5 years and we've lost out to Chelsea, City, Madrid or Bayern.
