Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

Are they optional?

 

Players bought for £50m+ (big money imo), including add-ons and player exchanges as part of the deal, in the current squads.
City: 9
Liverpool: 3
ManU: 6
Chelsea: 4

 

Real Madrid put a price of €20m on Isco inviting Liverpool to bid.

 

Big money is only £69m and above.

So city is 0
Liverpool 1
man united 4

 

Also if you’re counting £50m and above you’ve got the united numbers way wrong.

maguire
sancho
Lukaku

Bruno
martial
Fred

This is all current stuff. My point was that Utd have consistently outbid everyone else for decades, so for @Diego to suggest that LFC have "led the way" in inflating the market is just daft.

 

Pretty much what I was thinking. Ten years ago Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea were regularly throwing £30m at players which was big money then

 

Our highest outlay on players is £70m or under.

 

Amazing how **** arsenal and spurs have been given the money they’ve spent.

 

.....and Everton

 

AT THE CLUB

Fred was 47

Although I did miss Martial off

 

this is a ridiculous price for him

edit - didn’t realise he was 29 already tbh…sh*t, that time flew by

still a bargain price but we will be looking for younger legs, I’m sure

 

He's gonna be the next big thing

 

Only if he eats a lot of pies and cake!

 

If we are going to hammer on here about transfer fees can we please at least put a small bit of context and set the time of the transfer into the conversation.


We can go all the way back to the entry of the Arabs where they robbed Robinho out of chelseas grass for 32 odd million in 2008.

Forget thus fee or that fee is big now. Start thinking that the fee at the time was massive.

Look at kdb price.
Look at how much the multiple full backs and failed cbs cost.

Time after time after time big money goes in by city with absolutely not balancing of books bar fake revenue being invented.

Forget about the odd player a real revenue club gets to buy for big money.

City eclipse everything by an absolute landslide of players transfers across the board.

Ederson was big money at the time
Walker massive money
Stones crazy money.
Aze ridiculous fee to get an English reserve
Laporte
Diaz
Mendy
Cancelo
Ferdnandinho at the time
Sterling at the time.
Paid through nose for mahrez.

The list goes on and on and on.

 

that’s quite old tbh…I’ll lay off him now, poor old boy has a real excuse for being sh*t

 

The panic has set in on ja606 now.

Apparently we are much wesker than last season, klopps not been backed and will walk etc etc.

 

Whereas we all know on here that Keita is having a good pre-season and will save us buying Saul or anyone else in the window. That's what the FSG-funded journos are saying anyway. And Klopp's undoubtedly happy about that.
