Leazes_End_Mag Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Grazianno Pelle's agent says he's in talks with both Everton and Stoke over a 5m move. Cracking signing for that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 4 Pelles for a Troydini. I need to sit down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Pelle for 5M is great value! Troydini to cement Leicester as a big man/little man, two up front long ball team. Their last 10 games were more about their defence than attack, so my suspicion would be that they need to mix it up more from now on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Also have to figure Ferguson rarely went the "20m+ route. A lot has changed since he retired RVP, Berbatov, Anderson, Rooney, Ferdinand, Veron were all more than £20million like. I'm going to guess you purposefully picked £20mil because there's a load of players he signed for over £15mil: Zaha, Hargreaves, Young, Carrick, De Gea, Phil Jones, Valencia, Nani, Van Nistelrooy 6 players in 20+ years. I reckon the title winning sides from Chelsea (the last one) and City had more in one side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Talk about cherry picking. No one was spending £20m for a large chunk of that. Cole for a start was a British record fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Liverpool won everything going in the 70s and 80s without ever spending more than a couple of million on a player, it was a minor miracle looking back on it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Another example of an average player Ferguson got performances from. Did well on the way to the champions league final against barca in 2011(?). I was never impressed with him at Man Utd but watching him in person, Gibson is actually a very good centre mid when he's fit. Excellent passing range. Problem is, he's never fit so I hope his new deal is heavily appearance-based. Cleverly on the other hand, is absolutely fucking woeful and sadly, was always fit and always picked by Martinez. Hope Koeman bombs him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "reads the game" comment is the most insane. Never seen a player read the game worse than Cleverley. He runs round like a headless chicken, reacting to the play seconds later than everyone else. It's like watching someone play FIFA for the first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but he brought up Veron and Ferdinand. The fees spent by Man U in Fergie's last 3-5 seasons seem much lower than those by City and Chelsea.

gjohnson Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Are you f***ing kidding Not really...in '82 the British record transfer was £1.5m. Liverpool paid £1.4 for Mark Lawrenson that same season. In '87 the record was £3.2m, and they paid around almost £2m for Beardsley the same year. Scale that up to current records (£59m presently?), and you'd be looking subjectively at tens of millions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
