Hard to go into it because obviously its all hypothetical. I was just making a point although in an extreme manner than wages are a big factor and i would say the defining factor if there was a big difference. If you're on 150k, then 20k-30k probably isn't going to be the deciding factor between clubs. If ones offering 150 compared to 100 then i think it would (obviously this isn't the case between Chelsea and United, both are loaded, they will get what they ask for).

Most important (to a certain extent)
1. Wages

The next level of stuff
2. Challenging for trophies - i will define this as the big trophies (CL, Europey, PL), having won it recently (i won't put a time period) and/or been up there challenging for it or at least be seen to be challenging (like spurs).
2. Prestige of the club - Some clubs are just more supported and have more history. Real, barca, Juve, Liverpool, United, BM. I'd say since Roman has taken over we're kind of in limbo land, a lot more overseas support and have won the CL and PL a lot more but obviously not as famous as the ones mentioned.
2. I think a manager plays a big part in players wanting to play for them if they are a big name. I wouldn't say Conte is a big name on the continent (massive in italy). Even United couldn't sign players with Moyes in Charge

Not that important but will play a part if all the above are close to equal
3. Location

Just my opinion, doesn't mean i'm right or wrong and some players are a different kettle of fish (see spurs players who are loving the project under poch). I reckon generally my above pretty accurate

Moyes still managed to sign your best player according to your fans in the previous two seasons <laugh>
 
That we would easily surpass at United in both salary and exposing him to a larger market. <ok>

Sorry mate, but the reason Ronnie is at Real Madrid is because he dreamed of playing for them growing up and I dare say Messi's is driven by loyalty given the way Barca helped him through his early years with his health etc.
No need to be sorry, it's just so sad that you get this wound up over buying Lukaku, which is what the thread's about. You got him and he's world class, there you are.

Was our best player. Jose didn't like him to some our other players so he got rid of him. Next you'll be telling me Arsenal are a massive club as that signed one of Real's best players in Ozil :P

That's your opinion, I'll leave it to Lukaku to show me that he's world class.

Arsenal didn't sign Real's best player.
 
Oxlade Chamberlain closer to Arsenal exit - Chelsea target apparently.

He'd be a good buy for Chelsea imo, seriously. Wenger can't get the best out of any player, he's a complete idiot. There's a top player there.
