All the add-ons could be very difficult to achieve so I'm not too bothered by them.
Monaco are still hoping Martial wins the ballon d'Or.

Welcome to the biggest club in the history of the milkyway, Frenkie.
Hopefully both parties are satisfied on the agreement at 69.
Shirt number 21 is available..
That 69 figure blows our budget.
Yep, I think some people just don't want to admit that Liverpool under Klopp have just been outright better than us in terms of their recruitment and maximizing what they get out of their players, not better because of outspending. But rather than make excuses, we should be encouraged by Liverpool's example because there's nothing materially preventing us from turning into a consistent, UCL-competing team within a couple years.
Is he actually any good, then?
69 yes please.
Already like this Arnold feller.

I'd 69 Boris Johnson if this cums off.
No no, if you read this forum this is clearly us getting mouthfecked facial abuse style while cleaning their ass for tidbits
Who has 69?
That fee can’t be true surely? If so then what have we been doing for weeks? Honestly we are absolute muppets in the transfer window.
Those figures have not been confirmed by any reputable source from United's end. James Robson is obviously just piggybacking on earlier Spanish reports.
I think you're misunderstanding the situation. If that is indeed the fee then United have successfully negotiated Barcelona down from £80+ million pounds up front to the 69+ add ons.
Edit: perhaps you're thinking in straight euros. We've saved basically 20 m euros

Saved 4 weeks wages for him too
It's a funny one. Took fans close to 5/6 years to finally accept that Woodward and his associates were terrible. Denial over claims about Disneyland and all that for quite some time. Reality finally hits by the time Woody steps down and the weight of anger and disappointment is being misappropriated onto the new team. At least that's my take on it.
80m with addons is 20m less than what Barca originally wanted.
Put Mr Bluevein away Beavis.
Yup, I think people have mixed up the £ and € values being mentioned
No it won't. The same didn't happen to Carrick, Keane, Ince, Robson. Pogba must be the only "world class" midfielder in the history of the club that needed a decent partner.
He did fecking nothing himself, absolute waste of space. Most over rated ball bag of a player ever to play for us. I'm fecking delighted he is gone. Mostly so we dont have to listen to this horse shit any longer about Pogba needing a decent partner, playing in his best position, manager who understands him, or whatever the latest excuse was. We would have been far better off if we had a bang average Scott parker type player in there over the last 6 years. He fecked off to Dubai for his mid winter break unchecked all the while picking up obscene wages.
The fact that the only team that came in for him are the worst Juventus team in the last 30 years should tell you everything you need to know. Good fecking riddance.
There, I feel much better now.
I dont recall them originally wanting 100m eur. That came out of nowhere after previous lower figures were touted.
I think they just tried their luck mid way with a silly 100m punt and realized swiftly it was ambitious.
Proper muppet this
That's nearly £80 million isn't it with add ons included, in addition to his very large wages. That's a big financial commitment, he better deliver for us.
Robson was an exceptional player but during the 80s United were as underwhelming as they are today in terms of results. While Carrick, Ince, and Keane had more than decent partners, Carrick and Keane largely had Scholes as their partner and unless I'm mistaken he was decent.
Yup, Johnson is a c*nt.
I’ve heard this one before somewhere.
If you’re going to do the ‘with add ons included’ to give the impression of the higher price, then the ‘he better deliver for us’ caveat becomes moot. The price is £69m. At £80m, he’s definitely been very good for us.
Nah, add ons are generally easy to achieve, like play 10 games and play 50 games.
or win the Balon Dor like Martial?
Or win a Balon’Dor. Or win a CL. Or a PL. They are not generally easy to achieve at all.
Do you think Barca have agreed to add ons like winning the CL or something? They will be easily achievable.
Yeah that was the exception rather than the norm
Normally they are based on appearances.
