    £14m in Emre Can’s pocket is madness but makes sense.

    That's why you need those contracts United always seem to have where there's always an option to extend for the club, at least for one year.

    I wonder if he has a release clause in his Juve contract.

    Isn't extending the contract down to the player?

    Not if the contract they sign has the option for it to be extended unilaterally. I'm sure Shaw's is like that.

    £220k a week.

    Would have made him by far Liverpools highest earner. The longer it went on, the easier the decision was.

    His agent has done very well for himself on that one.

    Do you reckon they roll out the accountants to explain to the other players in the Juve squad that the overall cost of the transfer spread over 4 years is X and just because he gets all of X and they only get X - large fee it isn't unfair?

    We're apparently interested in a player called Ndombele, although I'm guessing someone has just heard a deaf person spreading the Dembele rumours from a few weeks back.

    Not quite.

    He's the new u-19 manager with Mark Van Bommell getting the first team job

    This after Cocu moves to the footballing graveyard that is Turkey.

    Edit: Did not see the white text

    He's a curious one. Probably his last big move at 30, but I'd have expected to see him over here at some point. Seems more than good enough.

    I would guess a lot of managers aren't that keen on his perceived lack of professionalism (smokes like a chimney as an example).

    Italians obviously couldn't give a fuck.

    He's well suited to a league where running isn't really a requirement.

    He'd be Veron level bobbins (but without the class) in England.

    Um, the man runs like no other. I’m guessing you’ve heard he smokes and assumed he has no lungs?

    We went after him last summer but obviously didn't fit our midfield requirements.

    He's near bereft of body fats, Baka, Baka
    He doesn't smoke or have stupid tats, Baka, Baka
    Emenalo rolled the dice
    He's played well less than fucking twice
    Bakayoko, Chelsea's number 14

    NA NA NA NA...

    Speaking of which, I think our boardroom and front office (or whatever the British term for that is) has looked at Medusa and been turned to stone. Not had a peep out of them on any topic since the end of the season until Trevoh Chalobah got loaned out to Ipswich today.

    I feel like the Serie A transfer window is just mediocre clubs passing mediocre (and aging) players around between each other.

    We've basically swapped places with Italy in terms of transfers. We're now where they were twenty years ago, where only they could afford to buy from each other (something which will eventually result in only United and Liverpool not selling [directly] to each other here), and they have been relegated to shuffling their bollocks between themselves as we used to because nobody wants to leave and nobody else wants them.

    Apparently it means we'll spend more on a RW and LB since we don't need to replace him which is a silver lining I guess.

    Didn't you spend 30 something million on the Swedish child and 40 million on the black bloke who's always injured and got dropped for Chris Smalling and 35 million on the fat left back etc. etc. etc.

    Bailly is brilliant. He's had a few injuries but that's just bad luck. Pretty sure he was more like £30m too.

    Lindelof looked very shaky at first, but looked dramatically better by the end of the season and is very comfortable on the ball. He'll come good.

    Shaw was signed like three managers ago and looked set to fulfill his potential before his horrible leg break. Can't really account for stuff like that. He's also clearly a moron.

    Bailly and Lindelof combined cost less than VVD so idk if you can really call them 'big money' with how the market is now.

    Etc. Etc. Etc? Rio Ferdinand was pretty good.
