    He's all over transfers generally, not just United ones.

    He's not a boom / buster, he just needs to find more interesting uses of the internet.

    To be fair I remember those days. When you're that far out of contention you do tend to get excited at potential transfers.

    And then you sign Paul Konchesky and Christian Poulsen.

    Reports Haaland's wangled another release clause which becomes active after 2 years. 150m euros this time.

    I think I'm so bereft of faith in United doing anything right there's probably not a transfer I could get genuinely excited about at the moment.

    Unless we were to re-sign Danny Welbeck, obviously.

    Hargreaves will be fit soon, that's basically like a new signing.

    Re: Haaland, will be interesting to see if the introduction of a 'proper striker' type character helps City over the course of a season. The argument always comes around after they get skanked by Spurs, but at the same time, no one mentions the lack of such a person when they process their way through shite like Newcastle the other day with their non-one-dimensional play, which is basically what they are all about. My guess is he'll probably be their top scorer, but they probably won't score any more goals overall.

    Sounds like Liverpools top target is Tchouameni from Monaco. Somewhere from £40-50m.

    Probably wanting to freshen up that group after seeing what Thiago can do. The kind of BLM talent that'll have Taz phwoaring.

    Maybe in the market for a Mane and Salah replacement as well, although these links for Mane to Bayern seem a bit odd. Surely not a type of player they really need even if he is quality.

    Scored a bullet at the weekend. The French talent pool seems to be never ending.

    Coutinho to Villa appears to be DONE for about 15-20m euros. (Barca possibly have a 50% sell-on clause).

    United apparently interested in left back Borna Sosa from Stuttgart. No idea how good the source (Focus.de) or the player are.

    Good crosser I'm told.

    His release clause is cheap as fuck. Not sure how good he’d be in a back 4

    €25m if Stuttgart get relegated (which is all but confirmed) as far as I can see.

    Croatian fullbacks are definitely going to have the physical attributes for the prem but one of such pedigree to boot? I only recall Dalot, Telles, Williams and AWB promising so much in recent times.

    Didn't some 'paper have the deal's 'total value' [ugh] at something like £213m?



    What's that? £400k a week wages and a £40m bung to the heirs of Mino Raiola/Erling's dad [on top of the fee]? Crazy stuff.

    Wages are apparently about the same as De Bruyne's at £375k a week. The rest is all the assorted bungs, yeah.

    I love how the various lackey reporters are billing that as 'keeping within the wage structure'.

    Terms of agreeing to go to Dortmund in the first place rather than dicking the Austrian league for another year and then angling for a move to a bigger club I assume.

    Haaland is definitely being paid that little bit more in consultancy fees.

    Highly expected that Bayern will buy both Gravenberch and Mazraoui from Ajax soon.

    Dortmund chariman said he was going to United if Dortmund hadn't agreed to the release clause.

    They got him for a pittance didn't they? So it was all part of the quid pro quo to go there. Do a couple of years and move on.

    I suppose you could look at it as being double that really as they seem to have added the 'other fees' associated with such a deal on top [which seem to be about as much as the apparent release fee], rather than them coming out of the headline number.

    Who was Barca's DoF when they spent all this money on the likes of Coutinho, Dembele and Malcom...

    EDIT: Malcom, who I couldn't pick out of a line-up, was $44m....

    EDIT2: After a shit season with Barca, Malcom joined Zenit a year later for $46m. There are some seriously dodgy deals in football.

    Of those, I would say Suarez, Neymar, FDJ and Villa were hits, with Torres to be decided.

    It's just so off-putting whenever his alien face comes on screen. Sure, there's enough lookers in football to make up for it, but even Alf Inge looked relatively normal. He must have fucked a troll under a bridge to come up with that offspring.

    Is he Alfie Haalands? I just assumed it was a common surname in Sweden.
