    Madness.
    The rumour is Alderweireld is asking for ridiculous wages and a long contract, trying to get his last big payday. Given there's few teams in the world he wouldn't be a no brainer signing for at £25m and yet there seems to have been 0 interest in him, I'm inclined to believe it's true.

    Filip Benkovic is a ready made Maguire replacement and Leicester already own him. Monstrous player. I guess if Rodgers is aware he's got a bunch of cash to blow on a centre back he'll do it anyway.

    Maguire for 80 million is fine I suppose, but United's scouting policy does appear to be no more than "players we saw on the terrestrial television".

    Benkovic and Soyuncu waiting in the wings so I hope we don’t hose £45m of the Maguire money on Lewis Dunk and give those two promising guys a go with the excellent Johnny Evans. Spend the money on a winger instead

    You're paying Sanchez 7 billion a week to scratch his nads and J-Lingz 2 billion to keep his insta-game strong. Whatever the demands are, they will not be more silly than that.

    Rumours going about that Coutinho wants to go back to Liverpool, who would also like him back.
    Proposed 2 year loan with obligation to buy for £80m+ at the end of that.

    I'm not sure Barcelona can afford to put off the fee due to FFP though. They need to balance the books after splashing on Griezmann, De Jong and co.

    They are totally ballbagged with Coutinho. No one is going to give them anything near his value, whatever that is. They either keep him, hope he agrees to go to China (doubtful), convince PSG some insane swap deal is a good idea (doubtful) or, well, apparently loan him back to Liverpool (insane). That would be both incredible and completely unbelievable, perhaps eclipsing even the Eto'o/Ibra deal in terms of badness.

    Barcelona must have the shittest transfer record of the past few decades. Other than absolute sure thing no-brainers (David Villa, Dani Alves, Luis Suarez) they seem to balls it up whenever they try to be a bit clever.

    Think we're heading for the return of the shambles La Liga era of the mid 90s. Only one Italian team is remotely serious, though, and the German league isn't in business at all, so it's Rule Britannia for the next five or so years as Lionel slows down.

    If Lyon weren't French I'd have a small punt on them for the CL.

    Considering how much they tell everyone that there isn't a player in the world who doesn't want to sign for Barcelona or Real Madrid, it does make you wonder why their wage bills are 70-80 million more a year than anyone else.

    Tonne of articles just came out that De Gea is signing a new 4 year (with our usual club-side option for an extra year) contract.

    He is worth whatever anyway, and that's before you consider him going for shit all and then having to find a worthy replacement.

    Well it won't be as much as is reported (as player wages never are) but we're clearly going to have to accept overpaying to keep hold of our best players whilst Sanchez remains in the squad, because of the leverage he gives everyone. It's still not the same as signing new, over 30 year old players on huge, long contracts.

    Why are wages never what they are reported? I'm pretty sure most of the one's reported for Liverpool are on the money.

    Maybe it's just United players then, but Pogba for example turned out to be on nothing like what was reported when we signed him.

    that sounds like an awful move. Even on loan. Liverpool the cunts, have a special team up and running. Coutinhio and his style does not sound like it fits, even from the bench.

    He did well in our free flowing attacking days. Takes a mean free kick too. My concern is we've moved on from the PRESSING and open games to a more controlled and at times, gritty style.
    He'd undoubtedly improve the squad by a lot, even though I don't like it for how he left.

    Noise about a Bale to Utd on loan again. So long as there's no obligation to buy I'd be over the moon with that to be honest.

    If this ends the Higuain rumours then I'm all for it. Strange though, I still see £45m as expensive but it's clearly chump change these days.
