Just to pick up on the Rooney point and throw some maths into the mix for UIR's benefit, here's what £25.6m would be worth in 2011: please log in to view this image Meaning that, in 2012, factoring in another 3.3% inflation, Rooney would cost £33.9m. But I suppose £33.9m and £35.5m are miles apart, aren't they, UIR? I may as well be comparing £1m to £1bn, hadn't I? (The last line was sarcastic, by the way.)
The reason you can't produce links is because they don't exist. Otherwise you'd have done it by now and be rubbing my face in it. So I'll just take your word for it? Ok, I believe you have better placed sources than the British press, UIR. I notice you still haven't commented on the Telegraph link.
Yeh.... except the links to redcafe merely point people to the discussion where further links can be found and information that is a little more reliable considering almost all of it turns out to be correct. Like for example, the Chevrolet deal, everyone was saying its 25million and some ****, random made up figures. I said it was $600million, my source was a Reuters link on redcafe. Guess which turned out to be correct, go on, have a guess I feel like you think redcafe is like RAWK, trust me, its far from.
Oh dear..... 2004 - time of economic growth 2012 - time of recession and failing economies The value of the currency was also different but lets not let those small matters get in the way of good old fashioned bullshit.
Your bid was 38M euro's. he went to PSG for 45M Euros Fergie - "football gone mad" Think it is clear who is going mad.
Pretty sure the original links to both were the Mirror story which was proven to be bullshit by the fact they changed it 3 times in 16 hours. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/7960826/No-City-contact-over-Moura and there, your face is well and truly rubbed in it... second paragraph if you are lost. E32million euros (£25million) though to be tabled by United.
The lengths you're going to in order to justify your (wrong) claim are ridiculous. Fact is, £25.6m in 2004 is £33.9m in 2012. Paint it in any context you like; those are the bare figures. If you think PSG's owners are affected by the recession, you're kidding yourself. These are guys who have billions to burn, clearly. Look how much they've spent this summer.
Really what difference does i make. I'm not sure why you're all getting so touchy Comparing Rooney who already had EPL experience and was coming off the back of a quality International football tournement to a young guy moving to another continent and who isn't currently getting in the olympic team makes me this you are clutching at straws. I'm not saying Lucas won't be really good as he could may be but Rooney had already proven himself in the league he was being transferred in
I clearly stated that fergie is a hypocrite, how much clearer does it need to be for you? I was not having a go at you, merely pointing out the general consensus on the matter. Silly me I missed one of the usuals of my list, UIR claiming that he has always made people look stupid in the past. As usual without evidence and has about as much credence as his claim that Fergie is not a hypocrite on this matter. Anyway, off ground to watch our match (this means going to the ground not watching on sky) Yes I know its not the greatest comp but hey ho that is what real fans do.
Does he have to ? The circumstance around the two said 19 year olds are comletely different. Would you like SAF to talk more and justify all his comments ? I doubt any LFC fan wants to hear SAF talk more
United where prepared to pay £38M euros the sale price was £45m. So not a lot of difference, eh? With regards to Rooney, sure he had a good start to his man u career. but it appears he has peaked, he looks overweight and tired. He is a very good flat track bully, but as we seen this summer, he can't really deliver on the big stage. So on that basis, you overpaid, big time.
