steve_69 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Huge transfer RVP to Manure like. I'd say it's the biggest I've seen in terms of English clubs doing a deal with one another. Really interested to see how he does there, and also how Arsenal do this season. Yeah, but £24m for a 29 year old?! s*** deal tbf Not if he gets 25-30 for the next 3 or 4 seasons it isnt. Maybe, but where's the resale value? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, you're all a bit serious today. Evidently the didn't make it clear enough that I was joking.

To be fair, If a deal was still worthwhile and financially made sense, I'm sure Ashley couldn't give a fig about resale value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisdom Body Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ferguson: "In 1999 I had Yorke, Cole, Sheringham and Solskjaer: the four best strikers in Europe. We are going towards that now." http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38205000/jpg/_38205738_ronaldo220.jpg Erm nah. Not just him even. There were plenty of strikers at the time individually superior to any of those four, Shevchenko, Batistuta, Raúl, Shearer, Kluivert, Bergkamp etc. To be fair to Fergie though, I think he meant the 4 as a quartet, since they were fairly interchangeable. I'm not even sure he can say that now, since the drop-off from Van Persie-Rooney to Hernández-Kagawa would be significant imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Bet Spurs were hoping to make more than £10m on Modric. Especially when you factor the wages they had paid since his signing, they hardly made any money at all on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 So, if all the rumors going around are true, Athletic will end up with a €60m pot that they can spend on all those Basque superstars that they don't already own... Oh well, they could bid for Higuaín I guess (he has a Basque grandpa)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
