You can't just guess at what's going to happen to make a point.

He doesn't really have to. There'll be at least one more signing, would be a safe assumption.

Wonderful, another thread taken over by a liverpool/Man utd dick measuring contest :rolleyes:

Anyway, is there any update on Khedira? linked with arsenal but would be a great addition to utd

batistuta9 · 24-08-2014 09:32PM

Ancelloti has said he'll be staying at Madrid:

"The issue with Khedira has also been resolved. He's staying and we're happy that's the case."

Nope, it's all down to the supporters. You're a liverpool fan, right?

Liverpool fan(s) stirring with man utd fan over a transfer that hasn't even happened yet = liverpool/man utd fans derailing yet another thread.

Maybe I should have been more precise with my explanation.

Stirring? Afraid not. Untie the knot in your boxers.

I'm a fan of neither and still think it's strange for United to sign Di Maria. To me it leaves a much less chance of signing a centre half or centre mid which is needed more IMO, especially at that price

Di Maria is a fantastic player and I think Madrid are mad go let him go, he will definitely add to United but if signing him is at the expense of other big signings in the above positions then I wouldn't be happy about it if I was a United fan.

If they go on to make more big signings then fair enough

You are the only person complaining about any posts tonight. Myself and 2 United fans were talking about Uniteds spend in this window, neither I nor them started willy waving or measuring.

Almost every non club related thread descends into liverpoool and united fans one upmanship. I know it's a reflection of the demographic on here but it gets annoying after a while and some of the discussions border on the ridiculous. Like the one earlier.

Anyway, back on topic.

Will Remy move before the window closes?

Make believe transfers to push uniteds spending above that of city/chelsea?

Ridiculous.

We'll leave it there, I can't be arsed toing and froing all night

adox · 24-08-2014 10:08PM

Meh there wasn't any Liverpool vs Man Utd style posts, just supporters of both clubs and others, discussing the inflated price that Utd look like paying for Di Maria.

And pretty interesting reading for the most part.

There was no make believe transfers. I accidentally typed Vidal instead of Di Maria and apologised for doing so.

More threads get derailed by people moaning about Liverpool and United fans than by the fans themselves...

Southampton put in a £12m bid for Townsend according to sky.

I was conscious of the irony the more that discussion went on.

One of the most overrated players in the league.

Get ball, put head down, run into a channel or shoot aimlessly wide. Rinse and repeat.

12 ****ing million. :pac:

Ah right so, neither set of fans should comment on transfer speculation on the others. Grand so.

United v Liverpool ****e aside, it's a nuts transfer IMO.

Massively inflated transfer fee, and not exactly the player United need either,

I think United have had a lot of trouble attracting players without CL football and Di Maria was one player of that calibre who was willing to join so they're taking that with open arms.

It's 49 million with 15 in add ons. 5 million in performance related bonuses, 5 million if we win the league and 5 million if we win the Champions League. Not that outrageous when you think of it that way. He's easily worth 50 million I think, and if he drags us to a league/CL then I don't care about an extra 5 million here of there.

I think it is outrageous, when you consider that almost all transfer fees have such add-ons so quoting the full fee isn't exactly taking it out of context with all the other transfers out there.

Saying almost all is a bit of a stretch, I can think of Lallana and maybe Shaw this summer? The only reason the add-ons are included by jornalists is to make the price seem massive and sell papers, when in reality the fee is actually fairly spot on for one of the best players in Europe last year.
