I don't think so. I've followed him for years, mates who've met him say he couldn't be nicer and he always talks a lot of sense. If he says it's done I trust that he believes it's done. And his track record is good.Another needy/attention seeking Twitter cvnt.
Agree but it could be complicated financially.
He is still going to want either a big signing on fee or huge wage. I'm not a fan of players coming in and getting paid more than others (equal talent or better) as it can cause unrest and lead to a spiralling wage bill. Not sure De Bruyne would be happy for example if Sanchez was being paid £100k a week more than him.
If it is a signing on fee and then wages plus agent fee and £35m it could cost over £100m over the 4 years by which time he will be in his 34th year. It seems a lot of money for someone of that age. There would be no sell on fee. United may have trumped us on Van Persie but he must have cost over £50m for one decent season.
I prefer our buy the young talent strategy, develop them and keep them or if we do sell we make a profit, something we have struggled with over the years. This signing seems to go against our current policy a little.
If it was PSG and not united after him, I don't think too many would be as concerned.
What we should not do is go back to the days of paying whatever anyone wants.
Uniteds approach is very scatter gun. They don't seem to mind having a ridiculously high wage bill (rumours De Gea wants £300k a week now! Absurd for a keeper). They just want to keep the brand alive and they will pay whatever they have to to do that. They haven't had a good transfer strategy for many years, well before Ferguson left. He let our progress cloud his judgement and for one last hurrah he basically ruined them.
He's been proven right in the past. I think he assumes it's obvious what it means.How reliable is this guy?
He isnt saying what is done though,thats my point.I don't think so. I've followed him for years, mates who've met him say he couldn't be nicer and he always talks a lot of sense. If he says it's done I trust that he believes it's done. And his track record is good.
Then again he could be talking about something completely different.
We dont get him for free thoughI dont think he's coming, I think he is going to stay at Arsenal until summer when we get him for free.
Cheers. Fingers crossed more public sources start to announce it soonHe's been proven right in the past. I think he assumes it's obvious what it means.
