You've go to admit, he looks like he will fit right in. Alongside Martinez (when he's fit) its a dream signing and a perfect replacement for Arry, if they can offload him.

Martinez is "The Butcher".

He doesn't respond to anything else and don't you forget it.

He wouldn't be able to see over the counter, but that's by the by.

He’s not exactly fit as a butchers dog…

A quicker version of Phil Jones

Plus the poor sod has a facial expression that looks in need of a good slap. Should fit in well with the likes of Anthony, Garnacho, Fernández etc.

Doesn’t that apply to 99.9% of rags?

My 3 year old granddaughter thinks United are signing someone from the Trolls movie franchise. Bless.

I asked that question in the FFP thread, How do new signings show on the balance sheets ? Do they have to put the full amount on the annual figures or do they show how much they paid on each installments, Did Manchester City pay in full for the transfers because we have the money, Meaning our figures are always high

Balance sheet will show the asset value, that doesn't change regardless of how it's paid for assuming all other things are the same. That will be the total value over the assets useful life, (contract length) It's being done to help with the cashflow statements.

Simply put, they haven't got the cash so they've agreed to pay more in exchange for spreading the cost.

Vast majority of transfers are paid for in installments, at least the big money ones, it's very rare any club would just pay upfront, the exception to this is when release clauses are met. The whole figure is required upfront to trigger the release clause, in reality most release clauses aren't actually triggered, they'll stump up the money to trigger them but they'll often come to an agreement on how its paid. Neymar to PSG was a high profile example of barca refusing to negotiate and forcing PSG to trigger his release clause, it majorly fucked PSG's plans who went on a spree of free signings afterwards because they had no cash.

They took their name from a city they’re NOT part of.



It’s all bloody fake, as far as that shit stain of a football club is considered.

Small correction.

60mil for that. Money well spent then.

That is a long compilation for an 18 year old with a season under his belt.

You can put together a 30 second one of these for virtually anybody but a 2 minute one is reaching Nunez levels.
