    He is overpriced, but at least we can afford expensive players. Far better than grovelling around looking for basement bargains at an average of 12 million in a spend of 120 mill.

    But like all things in life, you get what you pay for. Why buy 6 Kia Picantos, when the same money would buy you a Mercedes?

    So Balague got the fee wrong. There's a shock.

    Balague used to tell it how it is. But then he got into Skysports mode. Like a lot of so called experts in here, best ignored

    FFS don't tell me that the GGs have saved £5m -£10m in this transaction. It is still a record but at £65m or £75m it will taken 5-10 years for anyone in England to break it.

    Bargain if you consider that x RS striker cost £50m. <whistle>

    Angel di Maria's representatives: "Once United showed interest, there was no PSG or anyone else, he just wanted Manchester United." #MUFC

    Seriously Dave, his rep is bound to say **** like that, if he'd said " PSG offered less wages and United offered him megabucks by comparison" would you have quoted that?

    Bottom line is greed rules the roost these days.

    Wasn't that 50 mill striker replaced with another who cost 35mill? It was a couple of years ago, but he was so poor I clean forgot his name

    The fee remains the same in total, add ons bring it to £63.9 mil. If we don`t have to pay the add ons it means he has failed to reach expected targets <ok>

    Yep. The worst according to the RS fans. Those same fans who believed that Carroll could replace Torres and the clown balotelli the sewer rat...<laugh>

    Yep, they learnt a lesson from that one. This time it has been a case of "lets buy 8 or 9 and hope a couple come good" :wink:
