United thread 2020/21

[Citizen of Legoland]

Looking on the bright side it looks like this year is an improvement

I was about to say, apart from last year's wobble, there's a definite improvement in recent years.




Haha.

Premier League - Transfer records

The transfer record overview shows the highest grossing transfers of the Premier League. It also shows the new club and the transfer fee.

www.transfermarkt.co.uk

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but City has never been a team to go and buy very expensive players. Pogba was the highest priced Premier League signing ever, according to Transfermarkt. The rags have the top 3 spots and arse, dippers and chelsea all have bigger signings than our most expensive - KdB at £68.4 million (thought is was a lot less, like £50). Pogba was 40% more expensive!

We have filled our team with quality signings that satisfy certain criteria, of which fame seems to be of little consequence. Paying what dippers did for van dijk was foolish and demonstrates the short term thinking of their management. A big, strong pacey Cb in his late twenties for that price is just asking for what happened to happen.

It’s like these dumb fucks don’t understand that when you buy a player at 26/27 they’re a depreciating asset. When you buy them at 23, there is potential for their value to meaningfully increase. How this is lost on them is beyond me.

KDB was £55m, the exchange rate changes have fucked up all transfermarkt's sterling fees.

I know people are saying this is part and parcel, and they may at least partly be right, but compare that with our centre half Ruben dias (and the happy camp on the whole):



Bit more from that creep luckhurst. Looks like it's all getting them:



Ole might be too weak to see this out I'm afraid

 

[waspish]

Be interesting how much they have lost in there accounts today?! Ole was saying that they ain’t got much to spend and will rely on there academy!
In January they bought a young player firm America where fee was reported it was in single figures rising to 38m now that seems like one way the glazers get more money out the club? Looks dodgy as fuck. Also they ship out a few players reckon they’ll offer 50m for Sancho

How do they currently rate on the Shite-O-Meter?

Off the scale, I'd say.

The Rags the only side in history who gain a point yet move further away.
