And he’s now likely to be an outcast at PSG unless Saudi Arabia comes in for him in the next few days. Hard to look past him being a complete fucking imbecile at this point He rejected Frankfurt who are in the EL and have a great record of developing players and selling them on for big bucks and mega wages... because he wanted to go to Crystal Palace on loan. Just loan. I can only think he wants the PL because it's a bigger stage but... over a team with a record like Frankfurt? Granted he didn't want a permanent move. But like? What?

TaylorJ_01 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Ndombele and Sanchez off to Galatasaray. Eric Bailly signed for 1 year at Besiktas too. What a disappointment he was. I'm struggling to think of many big signings who go to Man Utd and actually get better, it's weird but feels like all their player investments just go up in flames.

TaylorJ_01 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 At what point would someone investigate collusion? That'd be quarter of a billion for 4 30+ year olds, plus taking all their hefty wages off the books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does move the challenge of inflated fees for future purchases. Say Miggy was to move next year we could easily ask for 50 million plus, as their market is not the going rate across Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the scrutiny of daft fees only kicks in when it's Newcastle involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) It's evident that the Saudis are prioritising their league ahead of us but what can you do. £250m for Salah Henderson and Fabinho is sickening. If spent wisely they're basically set. Edited September 5, 2023 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what he's saying though, they are strengthening our rivals by buying all their 30+ year olds for daft fees they'd never get from normal leagues.

They’re prioritising because clearly those ludicrously inflated fees have a negative effect on NUFC, given they’re handing money to our rivals. It’s their money and it makes sense they’d prioritise their own teams, tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said they were bailing Chelsea out but Arsenal and Man United gave them £120m for Mount with one year on his contract and Havertz. Even we will give them £30m for Hall. Fair enough if the pay that fee for Salah it will benefit Liverpool in the long term but it definitely lowers there chance at top 4 this season. Their aim is to make Newcatle the biggest club in Europe and I don't think they will ever hold back from spending as much as they are financially allowed to make that happen.
