Anyways as I said, you can talk the talk but I wont believe it until I see it.

Once you buy a player for 100 million ill come back hat in hand.
What do you mean talk the talk?

You realise that it was confirmed we bid more for Bale than what RM paid for him? Very close to 100m. It means nothing if you believe it or not, I'm just stating facts.

So FFP doesnt exist anymore?
the fee gets broken up over the course of the contract anyways

so if it happened (it wont) and neymar signed a 6 year deal, it'd be about 23 mil a year. we may start seeing bigger contract lengths in the coming years to break fees up even further if ffp remains in place, but it isnt something that will be remotely relevant to english clubs in the next 2-3 years, if it isnt now.

How is it a fact. It was paper talk. Real Madrid didnt confirm a bid or was I missing something?

I think United are saying all the right things in the press to appease fans.

Why would we bid to RM? Use your eyes Jod, we bid MORE than RM when they purchased him from Spurs.

Oh you're talking years ago. As in not bidding for Bale right now?

I dont know mate. You can believe what you like. United havent made a transfer larger than ADM's and this summer seem to be doing not much again. United ALWAYS talk a big game though.

Actually the media talk United up, United usually keep fairly quiet on who we are after. If I remember correctly it was Spurs who leaked that we bid more than RM but Bale wanted RM.

Not sure how we haven't done much, we've brought in two midfielders, a winger and a GK.

Also not many clubs have made a transfer bigger than what we paid for ADM.

I meant price wise for not having done much. Like you havent spent huge on one player which would suggest you are right and have all this money waiting to be spent.

Maybe nobody wants to come to United anymore.

Not sure how we haven't done much, we've brought in two midfielders, a winger and a GK. And a fullback

The sale of ADM lowered our net spent quite a bit. The money is available but that doesn't mean who we target is available.

We get linked to every big player every market. Doesn't mean it's true.
