Maybe when you pay others 250k a week it means squad players think they are worth 130k. When you keep your top players on realistic wages though then helps keep expectations
You offered VvD (a CB) £200k ffs, this lad is having the piss taken and I can see him waking up to that fact if his agent is any good.
Such a weird thread is it on its 3rd or 4th iteration. I dont know why but i always pop onto it every now and again and it really is the same **** everyday. Its worse than hiag and piskie at their worst. Special mention to petesaxton as well. I have no idea if that guy really is as thick as he is or whether he like the ultimate troll who can keep his ruse through all that ****
He's one of the most all rounded midfielders in the world. He can literally do everything, it's actually scary seeing a 22 year old smashing it. Incredibly energetic, very good defensively, perfect for the high intensity pressing, brilliant dribbler, excellent passer. Put it this way - if we don't get him this summer, then we won't ever get him because he'll be playing CL next year one way or another and he WILL attract big clubs.
Leipzig have a wage cap so they won't offer him anything close to what we will. Bayern are interested in Keita but apparently looking to get him next year when his buy out clause comes into effect. So we're the only serious option for him this summer and we're offering well over what he's currently on.
I had my doubts over Mane, you know. He ripped Lucas to shreds when he played CB when we threw away a 2-0 lead. Big deal, I thought. Have to admit I was totally wrong. Do hope his cruciate hasn't taken away his pace, because without that he's just another Firmino. So if Jurgen says spend @ £60m on him, then we must. Tough on Mbappe that we won't be able to afford him too, but that's just the way it goes.
its another Dahoud story. thats it. there will be someone arriving but right now hats out there are old rubbish promoted by agendas and given legs by papers. Keita's buy out clause is clear to all. thats the level +5mil max we should be bidding and its not even that terrible in todays market so as we've not by by now we are not bidding.
