Transfer discussion thread

[TurnoverMerchant]

First of all I’m not claiming Leeds to have one of the best defences but this stat is old news and only relevant to first half of the year when in a few games we conceded quite a few when we had a few key cbs injured. We only conceded 19 goals second half of the year

Last 11 games we conceded just 8 goals and that included games against 5 of the ‘big 6’. The return of Llorente and improvement in Struijk made a big difference. I’d say our defence is now underrated

One word for our defence: solid. It’s not out of this world good, but the fact that people who don’t watch Leeds are willing to throw stats out, without context, shows they have no idea.

If Varane defends for United like he did for France at the Euro’s, he’ll be referred to as the French Phil Jones within weeks

His valuation on the general market is fair. What he is sold for is a different matter. Transfermarkt is an excellent site

Well said. Arsenal paying 50m quid for brightons 4th best cb doesn't make the website any less good

There isn't, just seemed a very odd post to bring back up.

Brighton would be concerned if they still plan to sign striker Edouard from Celtic for £18-20m as has been reported. He looks a bit shit

I guess but it just became official recently.

Everything is agreed club to club, the fee is a guaranteed £50m, the second-highest transfer fee exchanged for an English centre-back, £30m of that will be paid within one year for Brighton and then two more payments of £10m in following seasons,” Duncan Castles.

if you look at a random section like the more valuable DMs, I don't think it's a wildly off the mark resource

Harsh!

But if there was a thread for Premier League expensive flops then United signings would feature prominently. Kleberson, Veron, Di Maria, Sanchez, Forlan, Falcao, Depay, Schneiderlin, Bebe.

He was 7m ffs.

Hammers fan. 7m is a lot of dildo money to Gold and Sullivan

 

[Marcel Proust]

Kleberson was less.

Might as well include Eric djemba djemba

His best is very good but his form has gone downhill in the last year. I reckon £10-12m might get the deal done now.

Indeed on both counts

Sanchez was a swap deal. Falcao was a loan. Let’s just name Liam Miller while we are here.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Fergie admitted to never seeing him play. Plenty of brown envelopes full of cash on that deal.

But yeah, if you count 7m as nothing then how about the others?

What about the wages?

Apparently Alexis Sanchez was on £560,000 a week then got a £9 million kiss off. He was an expensive flop.

I would have thought it was evident that given I didn't make mention of those in my post that I agreed with you.

Though not sure you can really count Falcao.

Seems like you're just plucking whatever names come into your head.

Kleberson as 6.5 mil and Forlan was 6.9 mil need to check your facts first.

Well, no doubt. He was shit towards the end at Arsenal and throughout his time at United. I think he’s done a bit better at Inter but nowhere close to his best at Arsenal.

Wow, that was a terrible post by me. It totally slipped my mind that he passed away a few years ago. In making a point, I made an offensive post. ****.

On Falcao.

Manchester United effectively paid £4m for every Radamel Falcao goal, analysis of the Colombian's spell at Old Trafford shows.​

​

It was widely reported that Manchester United paid Monaco £6m for the privilege of bringing the striker in on loan. They then had to pay his wages. There is some discrepancy over just how much United were paying, with claims than Monaco could have been topping up Falcao's bank balance each month to ensure he didn't lose out by going on loan. £265,000-a-week is the most widely reported figure United were paying - and with Falcao staying at the club for 37 weeks, the total outlay on wages would have been £9.8m.​

​

That means the total outlay on bringing Falcao to Old Trafford was £15.8m.​

£427,027 per shot: The shocking cost to Manchester United of Radamel Falcao's ill-fated loan

The club opted not to sign the Colombian on a permanent basis
