Based on the fact I’m not sure he makes this United team a better team than what they already have and doesn’t really seem to fit the system seems madness.

£50m could get you Ross Barkley.

Is it because we all played FM that we can't get our heads around transfer fees being almost irrelevant now?
That and there's just nowt going on this window. Almost as if a year without fans had some financial ramifications.
I think so but not quite in the same way.
They're as relevant as ever but the FM math is wrong so people apply it wrongly to IRL.
The cost of a player is his transfer fee+wages split over the length of his contract. Considering we don't actually have a clue what anyone earns anymore. It's irrelevant.
Arsenal still in for Maddison apparently.
I get that £75 million isn't to Man Utd what £75 million is to me, but I do know that it's better to have £75 million than than it is to not have it. Especially when there's less than 12 months between choosing to sell him or letting him walk for free.
He isn't that good. Nowhere near.
The only reason not to sell him would be to think that if they do something this year he might want to stay; but even then, fuck him. There was some Ruben Neves talk the other day and that would be a very smart signing.
Yeah, I agree. Selling him, even at a bit of a discount, to bring in Neves and Saul (for instance) would be a massive coup.
120m euros for a 28 year old Lukaku
Couple of midget gammons to try and replace Paul Fucking Pogba
Are Inter not desperate for cash? Market has gone mad.
Paul Pogba is shit so I'm totally in for midget gammons.
They needed about 80m euros in sales and made up the majority of it with Hakimi, so no not that desperate.
Bailey to Villa is DONE.
Any legs in Cronaldo returning to Madrid?
Tier 1 source John Percy has spoken and Grealish to City will be completed in the next few days. Might even play in the Community Shield
Spare me his upcoming open letter to the Villa fans. In fact, spare me all open letters, from anyone, to anyone.
That's Kane at Spurs this season then, surely.
Are you aware you don't have to read them?
How so?That's Kane at Spurs this season then, surely.
They're all to me. It would be rude not to.
They're already crying about having to spend £100 million. It must be a case of one or the other.
Villa fans turning on him already. The white Fabian Delph.
Apparently Grealish is at City right now to finalise the deal. So much for the decision turmoil.
According to their TIER 1s they can afford both. They've made a load of money selling off flotsam already and Bernado Silva will be going as well if they can get a buyer.
But but but he's happy just being a cult hero at his boyhood club.
Ah well, fuck him. 100m goes a long way if spent well.
Buendia and Bailey a good start. Think we need one more now as it gets a bit light behind them two and Traore.
I wonder if his dad has gone back to the old forums and informed everyone on the board, that he was somewhat right all along
Is El Ghazi any good? Every time I see him play he looks like he's the most likely player on the pitch to score but not sure he does much else.
El Ghazi's fine and dangerous when on it. Capable of serious moments of quality too. Problem is when he's not in the game you might as well have 10 men, which happens more often than it should.
First choice reserve at the min, I think.
You surely aren’t that lapped up in it to defend that type of bollocks are you?
I couldn't care less what open letters they may or may not post. I just find it bizarre people choosing to read stuff just to be outraged about it.
(Yes I see the irony of me choosing to read Jim's post and then being outraged)
That's definitely what happened there.
I suppose now the question is, did Villa spend before he went to avoid inflated prices, or are they about to have an extra £100m to spend?
It's basically exactly the same process. One of my posts could contain solid posting gold, or it could contain an open letter of ghastly and insincere sentimentality. You just don't know until you read it.
I'm going to suggest you know you aren't going to enjoy a 4 page Instagram post by a footballer before you commence reading it
He even took longer to leave us.
Best episode, that.
I'm a twit
Just me or does Maddison seem a bit overrated?
I read something saying his STATSMATE are absolutely rubbish in recent seasons.
Him and Ben White are in a competition for the most 'lads lads lads' face/body available.
In the most important news of the day, Alisson Becker signs a new 6 year deal.
I know a few people who came across him in clubs when he was at Norwich and he's apparently a total cunt.
Who is in charge of transfers at Arsenal? Maddison is a super lazy choice.
I like him but he's been operating at Jack Harrison/Bernardo Silva/Leandro Trossard levels of output in terms of xG and xA which is pretty shoddy given his lack of work-rate. You need to be doing more as such a luxury player.
