Why?

I remember travelling round Chile at the time and meeting a Liverpool fan celebrating them "agreeing a fee" for Bacca..befoere him moving to AC shortly after! Never knew how he did there..
Because he's a mid-table player. He's the caf's definition of a poacher - a player who needs his teammates to do 90%(it's an exaggeration) of the job for him to score goals, and is absolutely useless outside of goals

Youre the one who brought up Vardy etc. Almost all of the strikers youve named had around the same goal to game ratio in their early twenties as they had in their prime.
If anything the ratio goes up because, shock horror, they join bigger clubs with more chances to score. Something that Morata doesn't have because of who he has played for.
Posting names of strikers with near 100 career goals by the time they're 24 and holding them up as examples of players who struggled to score in their mid to early twenties is beyond idiotic.
If you ignore the goals they've scored then they struggle to score goals.
Youll be quoting Van Basten soon.
Feck you quoted Etoo who joined Mallorca at 19 odd and left at 23 as their all time domestic goalscorer.
Well leave it there since we'll never agree.

This is so pathetic. We got Lukaku and Lindelof and we have no one else to buy. If Woodward had the list of names for 2 months prior to the season ending, he should have done a much better job to have the deals in place, so that we just signed all of them by July 1st. This is so poor and this gives Mourinho another excuse if we don't deliver our goals this season.

It depends if they continue with the 433 from last season or move over to a 5 in the back really. I would say 5 back would be best but needs to be gel'ed in;

Donnarumma
Conti-Musacchio-Bonucci-Romagnoli-R.Rodriguez
Kessie-Biglia
Suso-Bonaventura
A.Silva

Then you got;
Abate, Calhanoglu, Gomez, Antonelli, Calabria, Montolivo, Locatelli, Mauri, Niang, Borini, Paletta, Zapata, Vangioni, Bacca, Cutrone, Gabriel, Storari and a few out on loan as well as a few more rumored in.
For all the fuss about them, that doesn't look that impressive to me.

They'll sign Belotti or Aubameyang, maybe get Diego Costa on loan. Their defense and central midfield looks strong, just need to go and grab a proper striker and they're looking good. It's only their first transfer window in the money, remember.

Yes, he should've just signed the players the manager wanted. It's really that easy.

Feck. Just hope he doesn't score against us in the first game of the season. He's going to be great for the Hammers. Will be great to see him back in the Prem. Would have loved him back here though. Don't know why we sold him...and for peanuts too.

Give him a break. This would have been a completely different window if not for the Atletico ban.

He didn't chose United, Mourinho and Woodward kidnapped him and the Stockholm syndrome did the rest.
Wtf are you on about? We played in Stockholm at the end of the season, not at the beginning!

:whistle:

Good luck to Chica, except when playing against us. Hope he scores against City and Liverpool so we can enjoy the meltdowns.

Monaco threatens to launch procedures against clubs tapping up Mbappé.
Statement from Liverpool: We wish to clarify that we did try to tap up Mbappe, but as he made it clear to us that he wasn't interested in signing for Liverpool, we ended our pursuit. We wish to apologize, and we are really sorry (that Mbappe showed no interest)

If even for a moment you are whinging at United's transfer dealings, imagine being Villa. A team with a European Cup victory, and their star signing is an Ex Stoke City hatchetman!

Surely their star signing is John Terry.

They're in the Championship, their European Cup victory has very little relevance it was 35 years ago. Villa fans have had it rough for a good while now.

@JBurtTelegraph: Javier Hernandez to join West Ham after £20m fee agreed http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...t-ham-clubs-agree-deal/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw via @telefootball


How do we manage to sell all of our players for peanuts?
Mourinho has gotten a bit better with the fee's we got for Memphis and Morgan. Also, it's possible just like the media make up the fee's to make us look like we spend more, maybe they make them up to make it look like we basically give our players away for peanuts? Just a thought.

If the storey about Monaco lodging a complaint against City for trying to tap up their player then I doubt they will play ball for any other player.

Maybe now is the time to strike :devil:
We will have to sell Damian for this.

Agree on Mourinho part but look at how much we sold Nani, RVP, Chicha.. Have a feeling we just wanted a few of them out of our wage bill more than anything
