i think Chester is a better player, but 8 million is about right..
i dont think Brady is worth that, i like him but inconsistent and think its great business if we manage to get that for him.
Anybody know what our wage budget was last time we were promoted?
I think you should stop now or that special relationship we are supposed to have will be completely destroyed.Seriously stop taking everything I say as I am saying the MLS is some amazing ****ing league. I am getting sick of it. You can read and I know you damn well know that's not what I am saying. My point is that your point about him being a full international is stupid. Being an international doesn't make them worth bucket loads of cash. I'm not saying that any cb in the MLS is as good as Chester but the idea that he is a full international and that makes him worth more is beyond stupid. Almost every cb in the top 2 leagues in England, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, the U.S. etc are full internationals. A player is worth his quality, age and the length of time left on his contract not the fact he suits up for an international team.
If we keep him, and lose out on 8 mill that's 8 mill we won't have to spend next time. We won't do that, we will sell, I don't need to be an Allam telling people to look at my CV to be right on that.
£25m I think, off the top of my head.
Manchester United "let go" of the best young midfielder in the world who is now wanted by Madrid/Barca/Man City etc. Safe to say they do make mistakesTo be fair SydneyT, as an impartial observer, you seem to be missing ellewoods main point. You're suggesting 15m for Chester, arguing he's worth that as he's been a key player in Wales' progress recently. No denying he's helped. ellewoods is saying he doesn't think that he's worth anything close to that and even his "alleged" price value of 8m is overstated, simply because he plays for a lowly ranked international team. Where are all the suitors for his services ? He's no Gareth Bale, he's never played for a top ranked Premier League side. There are times he struggles playing for Hull City. IMHO he is overrated at 8m - Manchester United rarely let a gem leave their ranks. Neither has it anything to do with ellewoods being American.
Stupid place to keep money, you not heard of a wallet?[/QUOTE he could put it inside his head as there is loads of room..
Didn't they also let go of Pique?Manchester United "let go" of the best young midfielder in the world who is now wanted by Madrid/Barca/Man City etc. Safe to say they do make mistakes
Didn't they also let go of Pique?
He was mentioned on here a while ago, around the time the released lists were produced. If I remember correctly, he either had injury problems or personality problems, lacking motivation etc. Just looking around, it seems he's joined Rotherham:Just checking whether Pique was released - he was. Another United player that was hotly tipped for stardom has also been released in June. Tom Thorpe - with Phelan here I do wonder if he'll be on the radar at City? He's tipped for a move to the Championship and they think he'll be the next Pogba or Pique. He's a centre half so we could cash in on Chester and sign a freebie? Thorpe was the Man Utd U21s Captain, he fits the young and hungry description Bruce used until he started having a look at Taylor and Palacios.
