How I am currently feeling with this Schneiderlin saga...

We paid 15 million for a raw Fellaini 8 years ago mate. Depending on whose transfer inflation coefficients ( hark at me ) you believe, that equates to somehere between 25 and 35 million in today's market.

I grant you that with him being something like 20 at the time, there was always a good chance he'd have a good resale value, but it does show how bonkers transfer fees have become.

25 million today would likely have been 8 to 10 million ten years ago. When it comes to transfer fees, many people are living in the past.

*hums old Jethro Tull song. Those that understand are getting on a bit

Liked your post, but guess I'm still relatively young.

Without reading back what's the problem with United and Schneiderln ? Whys he so out of favor there ?

 

[Woolly Blue]

And sold him for £27.5m!!!!!!!!!!!

I was hoping someone would say that, because it leads me nicely on to asking ...

"How old was he when we sold him ?"

He was 26 I here you say, and here we are, two years down the line getting stressed about paying ~22 million for someone who's 27. Well, when I say we ...

And another thing.....
If or when we get Schneiderlin probably in the last few minutes of the window, stand by for the obligatory "needs a few weeks to get to match fit"
Oh for the good old days when you signed someone 24 hrs before the start of the season and they were in the starting eleven next day.
Remember Dave Thomas and Georgie Wood?

Wasn't Dave Watson signed from Norwich the day before the opening game of the season? Forest at home??

Jethro Tull are boss.

I always imagine that Damo will end up like Aqualung.

Just had a quick scan around betting sites and can only find paddy power offering 1/14 on Morgan to EFC, can't see him on sky bet etc

In fairness, Barkley and Stones have both been taken to the Etihad as guests of Man City, so I can see why there may have been stuff going on behind the scenes. I know a few people that deal with transfers and the amount of things that change with them is mental. Any ITK could get stuff spot on and then it changes within an hour.

Was told one story about Malky Mackay. Was nailed on to manage a team and then Vincent Tan leaked some more info about the racism.

Aye I've heard about that, it's just one of them. The lad gets things nailed on to be fair to him.

Would love to know who he is/who he knows.

 

[dinverro]

Never said we were signing carvalho but that we were talking to him..... wrd is spot on

Haha

Dunno why, but I'm now humming Thick As A Brick.

Jose mate.

Just doesn't fit into his plans hence shy he hasn't been arsed to play him.

Considering he sign Paul bloody pogba for that midfield you can see why
