They seem to have a general "clear out" late in the Transfer Window. Perisic is moving for about 20 mil Euro to Inter.

Selling De Bruyne seems like a real lack of ambition regardless of the money involved.

Considering they're owned by VW they can't really be in need of that much money.I would have thought with Bayern failing in Europe the last couple of years and some of their players getting older the next couple of seasons could be a real opportunity for Wolfsburg to push on.

36m pounds(€50m) is insane money for Martial. Who is a very good talent but should be is comparable to Origi who cost 10m.

You have Borini for 8 million and maybe Tiago Ilori according to the reliable LFC hacks.

Yup. I posted in the Liverpool thread re: Borini at about 7pm this evening

It had been posted on the main Sunderland forum by someone who gets information from the players and often posts it since since early morning (including the exact price, he was absolutely spot on).

I don't really know anything about Ilori. What's your verdict there? I wouldn't mind Enrique on loan because LB is a massive problem for us at the moment. Then again, so is CB to be fair :pac:

Nothing special but easily an improvement on Fletcher/Defoe

Young but quite talented, is blessed with great turn of pace which can get him out of trouble should he play himself into it! Likes a pass out from the back, dunno how Advocaat is with that sort of thing. I'm hoping it's only a season loan but fear a sale.

That'd do me. I remain skeptical it will happen however.

Moses to West Ham, wait for it. On loan.

Cheers.

Advocaat prefers the passing out from the back, hence he dropped O'Shea initially as Kaboul and Coates do that better than him. We're an absolute car crash at the back though, I wouldn't be too happy about him ending up with us on loan if I were a Liverpool fan. He could end up going back a broken man!

RIP FFP.

City have destroyed everyone this window. Chelsea, Arsenal and Utd could all have done at least comparable business, but they failed.

You snooze, you lose.

Tbf, they got a decent bit of money for Nastasic,Lopes and Negredo, and will have money come in for when Jovetic and Dzeko both leave permanently. Sinclair, Richards, Milner and Lampard all left too so lower wages. So whilst, they've spent high, not sure it's outside realistic realms. I'd say United, Chelsea and Arsenal could also spend that amount if they wanted to.

Loving their aggression tbh. Delighted that FFP is being defeated.

Forcing teams to spend within their means should be encouraged, imo.

Harry Palmr · 31-08-2015 09:59AM

I think Lucky Lloyd plays poker (or am I thinking of someone else?), so such a concept would be an anathema!

Martial has been released from the French Squad in Clairefontaine for talks with Man Utd

Absolutely bonkers deal. He only extended his contract last month for another 4 years. If you're going to throw money at a young French player then you really should be looking at Fekir who will be a far better player than both Martial and Lacazette.

Panic mode well and truly underway at United.

Its not really an exact science when you're talking about players who are still developing individually.

Knex* · 31-08-2015 11:05AM

Fekir does look like he could be outstanding, tbh.

That he does but then again hes 3 years older than Martial so its not really a fair comparison at this stage...

Andersonisgod · 31-08-2015 11:15AM

To be fair here, Man Utd's attack seriously lacks pace and dynamism, Martial certainly has that. He's obviously not the finished product but he will offer Man Utd something which they don't really have in their squad at the moment.

That being said, the transfer fee people are mentioning in regards this deal is completely insane.

Because it just maintains the status Quo so the "big" clubs can never be challenged.

City and PSG are spending within their means their owners are rich as ****. Nothing wrong with that. It's only when you get a peter ridsale "buying" players on bizarre hire purchase type deals that you get problems. Or if you hire Harry Redknapp.

MD1990 · 31-08-2015 11:22AM

Lacazette is someone everybody wanted there club to sign. But I would have doubts him. Injured this season but when ive seen him he hasn't been very impressive despite his goalscoring.

ricero · 31-08-2015 11:22AM

The transfer fee is indeed insane for potential. Woodward once again showing himself up to be an amateur in this field

€80m for De Bruyne & €50m for Martial. The premier league teams are just pumped with money & are spending top money on players not yet the finished article.
People were saying Utd overpaid for Di Maria last summer but he was a lot better a player than De Bruyne is now for the same price.

A number of times in the game you could see the frustration in Benteke telling other players if you are going to knock it long to me at least put in on my chest not over my head.

Lambert played on his own up front he was deemed old and not having the legs to do.

Balotelli played on his own up front was deemed lazy not putting in the effort.

Benteke played on his own up front is not getting the support he needs this season.

Something is wrong with this picture and it's not looking like it's the players..

Repeat with defenders.

Somethings gone wrong here, hasn't it?
