Sounds good!
Some how I could see it going very south.
Sounds good!
More like forcing City to pay an extra 5-10mil for each defender. Not that I would particularly care how much they cost if they go on to become a success at City.Hopefully the Dani Alves saga has kicked city into overdrive with getting transfers done. Mbappe and Sanchez wouldn't be a bad statement.
For anyone who thinks we are paying over the odds just consider this.
It is obvious to everyone that the fullback positions have been our biggest weakness over the last 12 months, if we end up spending £100 million on Walker and Mendy we will have improved our first team squad significantly.
Compare this to the Rags who have paid the best part of £100 million on Lukaku, In my opinion he is a good player and will do well for them, BUT he has been brought in as a replacement for bignose who had a very good season for them last year. Our spend improves us greatly, their spend basically allows them to stand still.
No one else is running with it but I make Lukaku to be £75m + £15m add ons, Rooney on a free whereby he could have fetched £15/20m in this market and Rooney pay off of £15m to make up a shortfall in wages.
I make the Lukaku transfer around £120/125m
Guessing mate nothing more sureTold ya ;)
Don't goad him he aint no ITK he just another blagged :)Good lad.... youv'e been calling this one right for months.
You've forgotten agents fees so I'd make it about £135/£140mNo one else is running with it but I make Lukaku to be £75m + £15m add ons, Rooney on a free whereby he could have fetched £15/20m in this market and Rooney pay off of £15m to make up a shortfall in wages.

It was only a half-serious remark, but let's say the Alexis deal somehow collapses but it will drag on until the last days of August. We're not a club anymore which does panic buying on the last day just for the sake of it. And I know transfer dealings are going on concurrently, but still. Mpabbe is highly unrealistic this summer, too.No chance Pep goes from Sanchez to Roberts.

Now if that doesn't make you laugh your cock off nothing will.

Is Mino Walkers agent ?Well by the same token Walkers agent fees aren't included so not worried about them.
But why isn't the Lukaku deal noted as £75m + Rooney + Add ons.
Is Mino Walkers agent ?
hahahaI want all the signings done soon so I can begin to point out that we shouldn't get carried away when everyone gets carried away with high hopes for the season ahead. I can't wait.
Ederson, Bernardo, Walker.... Excellent window so far
4 more to come....?
With Walker and Mendy. We finally have full-backs that can compete with any other side in the world. It's gonna be a joy to have the pace and power of Walker and Mendy supporting Sane/Sterling/Jesus possibly Sanchez etc....
I'm curious to see the additional additions to our defence. Do we sign back-ups along with a CB? Do we have an alternative to Alves? Very optimistic ahead of the season.
