    Clubs don't tend to want as much when it's not one of the big boys. Cut price deal towards the end of the window I think.

    I thought he wanted to move to a club in the Champions League? Chelsea won't happen due to transfer ban, Arsenal unlikely to afford, City and Liverpool don't need and I doubt he'd go back to Man United.

    If he goes then they can join Brighton with the three promoted clubs as the seasons relegation candidates, I reckon.

    He’s asked to leave because he wants to join Arsenal not because he wants to leave in general. Deal was done if they finished in the champions league but they fucked it so he’s going all out to try drop the price.

    You'll have plenty of money for him when you sell Aubameyang to United.

    Lack of an official announcement for AWB is weird. Something's a brewing.

    Or probably not.

    You know on a serious note, if they did go for him then it would be some great business for United especially if Lukaku went.

    Sign AWB, pinch Aubameyang, Arsenal use that to get Zaha, United's % off that sale makes the AWB then look reasonable all the whilst weakening Palace and putting an end to Roy fucking Hodgson.

    I don’t think they’ll pay what it’d take to get him by the sounds of how much they’re losing money on Lukaku. It’ll be Van Dijk money. He’d be great for them as well. If they paid the money it’d probably work out being good for all parties.

    Isn't "Auba" a pace merchant? Signing a 30 year old pace-reliant striker for big money seems mental to me.

    EDIT: Probably sounds more disparaging than it's meant to, I definitely think he's a good player.

    The last time Man United signed a 30 year old striker from Arsenal it didn't go too badly.

    I thought this too but pace is a much smaller part of him than I thought. He has excellent movement/space creation that gets him free from 6 yards out constantly. If his finishing wasn’t so erratic he’d have an extra 10 goals this season. Missed a sitter/open goal every other game and still got 30+.

    BBC have Wan-Bisaaka as Ł50m (Ł45m+add-ons) done but not 'confirmed' but the best bit is a sell-on fee of 10% if United sell him for more than Ł50m. Erm, ok.

    You have to admire the ambition.

    Edit, no, best bit of the article is:

    United are paying Ł45m up front, making Wan-Bissaka the club's fifth-biggest signing, behind Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Angel di Maria and Fred.
    Not enough Marti Pellows for that.

    Also, I was a bit non-plussed at the idea of Valencia buying Cillessen for what seemed to be a mad amount the other day, but I see Barcelona have reciprocated and bought some other no-mark off them for about the same. Swapsies.

    Jesus, I've just seen that Cillessen is 30.

    I thought he was about 21.

    Neto is far superior from the little I've seen of both so Barcelona have done well.

    I reckon it's probably something to do with the FFP. I read about how PSG got around the Mbappe fee just yesterday, it's pointless having it if it's not going to be implemented.

    I think we all know sod all will actually happen to City other than a fine.

    The fee reported for Martial was with every possible add-on, which included stuff like him winning the Balon D'or.

    What we actually paid seems to be somewhere around Ł35m.

    AC Milan just got kicked out of the Europa League for breaching FFP.

    Hardly a punishment when they pretty offered it themselves. Great way to get out of Thursday night football.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48801681

    Seems like they've just got away with it to me.

    It is understood this ruling was requested by Milan as part of their overall FFP settlement agreement with Uefa.

    Last year, Milan were banned from the Europa League but then reinstated by Cas following an appeal.

    This year, Milan agreed to take the ban as it was in the mutual interests of both the club and Uefa.

    It is likely to earn Milan a more favourable ruling from Uefa in terms of their overall FFP predicament, as they face breaches in the 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
    I don't understand why they get any say in it. The rules were clear for everyone.

    I’m basing my entire opinion on the two Europa League games we had against them. He’s genuinely one of the worst keepers I’ve ever seen.

    I spoke about Aubameyang spaffing sitters earlier. We scored from every attack we had in both legs. Awful keeper.

    Can any fans of Irish football confirm that Izzy Akinade is indeed a rapist? He has just joined Ho Chi Minh City FC and apparently they didn't do any research on him.

    Yep. See the shit leagues thread. He was part of a gang rape of a minor when he was also a minor.

    Was it the rape that lead to the deportation, or something else?

    It was. It happened years ago but the case was re-examined lately and the deportation judgement passed.

    I'd heard he'd landed in Asia and signed for someone as there were doubts he'd left Ireland (didn't show up for the official deportation), but I didn't realise it was Vietnam.

    That alleged Lukaku deal for Man utd is awful. Ł9m for a two year loan to Inter with an option to buy for Ł60m. Inter could still turn around at the end of the two years and tell them to fuck off. For that type of player, Inter should be paying at least half the agreed transfer fee for two years. At the end of the two year loan, he will have one year left on his Man Utd deal. Sounds like an bad deal.

    They're usually guaranteed.

    It's a way of shifting around money for PFF.

    If its guaranteed then its a different story. James was on a two year loan at bayern who had the option to buy him but decided not too. He now has one year left on his Real Madrid deal. Just another weird example.

    Money is irrelevant to United. I'd imagine they're largely immune to FFP

    Not having Lukaku in the squad/on the wage bill, if it allows recruitment of a better replacement, is hugely beneficial, regardless of the cost. Same for Sanchez, they should just pay him to fuck off to China and move on.

    If money is irrelevant. It makes no difference to the Utd policy if Lukaku or Sanchez stay.

    I'd bin Lukaku if I thought we would replace him. He's clearly not good enough due to his condition and his touch so Ł70m is pretty decent money.

    14 1/2 stone isn't too bad given it's mainly muscle. It's not like he's fat. He's just too big and it's played against him.

    That's quite surprising that but then he was a 20 year old kid back then. It's mad to think he's already been in the game for a decade.
