Transfer discussion thread

But did he dwell on it or are you just guessing he did just because he officially signed close to January? He’s negotiated a $75M a year contract, that takes weeks to settle, not days.

Hes been linked with them since late Nov.


Funnily enough in his Piers Morgan interview (on 19th Nov) he said that money wasnt the main factor for him.


Negotiations would have been as simple as "not interested in living in Saudi Arabia -ok heres a 2 and a half year contract for 10 x the amount you earn elsewhere"

I never wasted my time with the interview so I didn’t know Ronaldo said that. I think Ronaldo will stay for the full contract. He will literally never make easier money in his life.

Feels like its almost at 'its happening' stage. Hell of a lot of money for a largely unproven footballer. I guess its now or never for us as there'd be better teams in for him in the summer.

Surely those better teams are not going to pay 120m?

Who know mate.

He'd choose where he wants to go and the two clubs would negotiate. I doubt we'd be an option in the summer

Paying 100m+ for a midfielder who very rarely scores goals is a choice. Xavi is probably the only midfielder like that in the history of the game who could justify such an outlay.

Exciting time of year... Key signings that could keep a team up or try to push for European football or even win the league

Yeah its crazy money for him and a huge gamble.

Another Red Bull player. Another CB who we will try to get to play LB. Bold strategy.

Fofana, Colwill, Chalobah, Benoit looks pretty good
