I can't help but think Chelsea, Utd and City are just laughing at the PL and PSR and bollocks to the rest of us. Really pisses me off that there's still only been 2 teams charged and they're going after a team just relegated but not a sound about...

I can't see it, too much of a risk, unless he wanted to sign a heavily incentivised contract. When you hear links to players like this though, or in a different sense Grealish, the natural instinct is to think that Moyes is either too risk averse...

Could still have years left in him yet. Especially if he can adapt to just being a sitting player rather than the all action, work machine, ball winner, and general breaker up of play we see now.

Maybe I'm just getting old but are we sure there's not a typo in there and he's actually u-12? :hayee:

Is Amorim out of his depth? Yes, he encountered similar problems at Sporting, and during his first summer jettisoned over twenty players. However, United is another kettle of fish and the PL is not the Portuguese league, so the model for one...

Maybe he feels he's been stitched up, and wont go belly up just to satisfy the individuals that've done the stitching up. You want me done and dusted? pay the contract off and we can go our separate ways easy. Richest club in the world pleading...

Even if this were a serious rumour, I would be set against this signing due to Wilson's horrific injury record from his time at both Bournemouth and Newcastle. He is definitely a goalscorer, but haven't we had enough of injured strikers over the...

Because foreign players are more likely to take time to find their feet? As evidenced by Mateta scoring 6 goals in his first 2 seasons. Some of them never do find their feet but go back to the continent and become good again. It's a...

English players carry a premium, they always have. Are we just forgetting that Mateta took time to adjust and scored 6 league goals in his first two seasons?

I get what you're saying, however, it's not the way they look at it. That 100k a week shortfall is 5 million per year. Who is just giving up that sort of dollar? If the club paying their wages wants them off the bill, they might have to accept...

and Richarlison was 7/8 years ago.

who'd have thought, an industrial estate on a big rail line would have vermin about. and a stadium with all the cleaners made jobless would thus attract said vermin. Einstein himself couldn't fathom this puzzle. It's one for the ages. ffs!

It's correct. I pointed it out yesterday. Albeit mid ramble, as it wasn't really the main point I was making.

18m euros for Mateta. (including 3 million loan fee)
