Lots of salty thumbs down.

Fucking av it you Scouse cunts. Come on Villaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Yes and Mane and Salah both fuck off lol.

 

[Burtonblue]

Does he track back?

Pep says he will.

 

[willipp]

Imagine if Villa dick the dippers tonight. If carlsberg did tuesdays.

 

[I'm Blue]

Hahahahahaha snubbed.

Dickov giving Kaveh a battering

I wish it was a real one with a baseball bat.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

Absolutely buzzing about this.

A huge statement of a signing and for £51m aswell. Ferran Torres was sold for more than that!

The guy is an absolute killer, with the service he will get here he will bag for fun. Can't wait to see how Pep improves him aswell. An absolute frightening prospect and the rest of the PL will be shitting themselves. They can pretend they're not fearful of it, but they absolutely will be.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Yes

Yep about £85m including agent fees.

Amazing, steal of the century

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Pep says he will.

has to when he plays him at defensive midfielder

 

[Vienna_70]

As Dicky has just pointed out, we are paying less for Erling than we received from the Spanish rags for Torres.

Brilliant business.

Fucking av it you Scouse cunts. Come on Villaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Hopefully Coutinho can pay back some of his fee by scoring a hat trick tonight.

Is that Txiki just out of shot underneath her?

You obviously havent endured a wet weekend in Wrexham celebrating an injury time equaliser , heaven.

I have endured a tram ride to Bury and celebrated an injury time equaliser.

 

[paulchapo]

Given our injuries probably centre half.

Beeb have a top 10 most expensive City signings and most of the fees are a minimum £5-15m too high, naturally.

They've copied them off transfermark.uk which records prices in € and translates them back to £ at the exchange rate on the day you access the site.

So even though everyone in the world knows Raheem Sterling cost £44m+5 in add-ons, because the pound has tanked since 2015 that £49m is now translated at current fx rates to £57.3m. KDB is the same. He cost €75m which was £55m at the time (Remember "The £55m flop!!!" headline) but 7 years later that's £68m.

Why is the BBC relying on transfermarkt.de like a bunch of schoolboys arguing on twitter? Because they're an embarrasment.

The piss boiling on redcafe is hitting a new high! lol

 

[I'm Blue]

Amazing, steal of the century

Yep and Sheikh Mansour didn’t even need to open his other sock drawer.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Welcome (sort of) Erling! I think this is the signing most of our fans have wanted for a long time. Not just a top striker, but one with his ability and his links to the club just seem to make it a perfect fit.

His goal record for someone his age is unreal and he's also got that drive where he's not afraid to say he wants to be the best in the world and sets himself high standards. Really looking forward to seeing him play.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

A top penalty taker too.

Not anymore.

 

[levets]

51 million, absolute bargain
Half the cost of Lukaku, 2 million cheaper than Fred, a few million only more than Jota ( for moaning Dippers)

£4m less than we received for Torres
