    I would have expected Jones to attract more interest from people who think they could iron out his faults and make the most out of his six yard box skills (Burnley, Newcastle, whoever).

    How much is Smalling going to go for? I always thought he was the very good or very bad guy. England squad, laughing stock, England squad. He must have completed that cycle a few times.

    Have United been playing three at the back in pre-season?

    They have, but I think they only took defenders out there.

    Spurs would surely take him for when Alderweireld goes.

    It's the same with every player. It's the contract. Everton are willing to shell out the transfer fee for Rojo because of how amortization works on the books but if you're doing fee + matching Jones' inflated wages you're stuck with the wage layout that you'll still be paying it off if he fails and you sell him 3 years later to a club paying him less.

    Rojo will be on more than Jones, and part of the reason his supposed transfer fee is so lol is because he only signed a new contract in March.

    Lol at the idea of the first part being true before you even consider what you said at the end of it.

    You think Marcos Rojo, signed from Sporting 'Lisbon' CP, was on more money than FEC Phil Jones even before he signed a new contract less than 3 months ago?

    It's just another classic 'worked with before' job. It's no wonder these recruitment teams are all the rage these days. Unless your manager is Neil Warnock (in which case it's almost unavoidable) clubs should never (or at least try not to) pay money for anyone a manger has coached elsewhere before. They almost always end up getting stiffed.

    £80m Richarlison and Rojo? Fuck-a-doodle-do.

    Rojo is on 160 grand a week apparently. No way is Phil Jones getting that.

    I don't believe those figures, but he will have been on a decent wedge when he signed coming off a good World Cup and with United having to pay premiums due to not being in the Champions' League, and then in March he would presumably have significantly improved his terms. When did Jones last sign a new contract? 2015 is all I can find, and he will have been lucky to get minimum wage then.

    My apologies, I thought you meant that Phil Jones signed a big contract in March.

    I've no idea how this stuff is collated (or if it is any way accurate) but this website I stumbled across the other day has him at £110,000 p/w.

    I guess that doesn't include bonuses, as doesn't Sanchez have some lol £100k appearance bonus pushing him near the half million mark?

    Rather take a gamble on that mad Pepe.

    I'm putting together the pointless bet I do every year which is an accumulator of the champions of the top 5 English divisions (managed 3 last time which was a new PB).

    I'm in the top flight odds and my cursor is somehow inexorably drawn to Liverpool at 4/1. Should I click, not click, or just shoot myself?

    Max Meyer has signed for Palace.

    Jordan Ayew to follow shortly in exchange for Jairo Riedewald.

    Saw somewhere Mayer cost 35M and gets 170k per week.

    That seems a little off the charts, at least the Salary.



    I remember some people being interested in him a few seasons ago but looking at his starts - in lack of any other info, he's scored only 3 goals in the last 2 seasons which can't be a sign of going in the right direction.

    He was free, wasn’t he?

    Edit: he’s also been playing as a DM so I don’t think ‘goals scored’ is the best representation of his performances.

    What is it at Schalke and their star players can all just leave for free? Leon Goretzka has joined Bayern Munich for free free, Sead Kolasinac joined Arsenal last season and Meyer has also now left.

    They have the best youth system in the country but the Sporting Directors are arseholes who try to rely on them being Schalke to bully them into taking shitty deals and then proceed to assassinate your character in the press when you say you want to leave. Meyers people claim he wanted to sign a new deal with a release clause of they could get some money but the directors were such cunts about it he shelved that plan.

    Uh ok. I'm wrong on all accounts then, I was sure he was like a speedy winger but I must be getting things mixed up.

    Mayer was an attacking player, but he was converted to a defensive midfielder at some point.

    At one point he was a chin-stroking number ten. Surprised he moved back as he was a wee lad.

    Schweinsteiger was a wide man first before he was moved to the center. KDB was the same also?

    Word is that we've agreed terms with Yerry Mina.

    He's only really good at being tall, he was a bombscare for Barca defensively last season.

    Jereome Boateng is available. you would think he would slot straight into the center of Man Utd defence with Bailly

    'Available' in the sense that both he and Bayern want a massive payday.

    Petrol station entrepreneur and bigamist Ahmed Musa has been sold to Al-nassr in Saudi Arabia. Match made in heaven. We've somehow turned a profit on him as well, got to love the World Cup.

    Boateng aside (cause I'm sure you're right on him), but 30 seems to be the new 18 these days.

    It's like back in the days of Bojan and Dos Santos and LA MASIA everyone got their fannies wet as soon as someone under 20 scored over 10 goals in a season.

    Now it seems panties only get washed after someones been accumulating "10 years of experience at the highest level" (which can apparently be like West Brom).

    Real Madrid have put a £670m price tag on 32-year-old Croatia midfielder Luka Modric, named player of the 2018 World Cup, to deter Inter Milan from making any approach.

    Football Manager was ahead of it's time.

    La Liga players all have a release clause, Modric clause isn't £670m. His contract expires in two years...
