Another marvel from Jamie Jackson. Just can't resist mentioning all our price tags, even in an article that's meant to be about United's title chances.

Mourinho is concerned at the high fees paid for what he describes as middling footballers in the £30m-£50m price band. While Neymar is reported to be close to joining Paris Saint-Germain for a world record £199m, this summer Manchester City have bought the right-back Kyle Walker for £50m, the goalkeeper Ederson for £34.9m, the left-back Benjamin Mendy for £52m and Bernardo Silva for £43.6m. United have, however, paid £31m for Victor Lindelof.

No mention of 75m for Lukaku or their 40-50m pursuits of Dier and Perisic. I love how all these rag journos are putting Mourinho in this role like he's the only sensible man left in football, completely mindblown by all the money everyone else is spending. Poor little Jose vs Moneybags Pep.

I flagged this years ago and it's not just the sports news you see it on the news when they're reporting from the middle of nowhere.
Too much of a coincidence, the camera crew must be involved.

Camera crew on board: check

Scum "fans"(690million) happy:check.

Job done.

Is the Lindeloff fee before add ons and ours after?

Surprising.

Do we actually need the press in these times when any cnut can write and post lies. Just block them out and get some decent PR in to do their job for us, instead of them devaluing our brand and good name. The game is over, we could even write our own click bait, make up our own stories and post in the areas where most people get there info, which is newsnow etc.
Anyone buying newspapers is just feeding the cnuts, stop it now!

Actually thats how the media see things as they are now.
We are a minority compared to their targets so losing us is merely an also ran in the scheme of their business plan to placate the others that their market research has identified.

And yet we still feed them, even they cant see where we will be in 10 yrs, having only taken 5 to usurp the rags and the Sly sports owned old top 4.
The good Sheik needs to buy Sly out, and cleanse the world of the raggies, and the racist cnuts trying to undermine the Sheiks business.

That Neymar fee quote is just a random number, isn't it? Isn't it the euros alleged number?

But it is Jackson, so it's quite lucky he got the right player.

The choice of players is just to imply hat they're all middling players. The mention of Lindelof shows a rarely seen level of awareness from him.

Key 103 news.
City Broke the world record for a defender with the signing of Benjamin Mendy for a fee thought to be 50 million pound.

I broke the 100 mtr sprint record this morning with a time thought to be 6 seconds.

Apologies if already mentioned but when I look at the newspaper gossip columns online, the headline is always "catch up with all the news from Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool" or some such. Never City though the Independent did manage to include Spurs this morning (but not the Express). Sure that they just re-use previous headlines but come on, how long has it been now?
