That's more like it! They can have me for that
£30m has got to be the minimum!

Probably not a far better player, but obviously more well know and far more expirienced. 23m is a joke if we sell him for that kind of money I and many more will be pissed.

Manchester United tax. Fun, isn't it?
It happens in part because of Fergie's transfer attitude; when he decides he wants a particular player, he will pursue at any cost (and other clubs know they can raise it at will, because we can pay), and when he decides he wants a big name out, he really wants them gone (and might be made to accept less for him).

Finally someone else sees the way I've been seeing for years!
If we all bother to notice, it's always the same football agent being used, regardless - I won't be surprised if there's more than meets the eye!

The ppl handling United's transfers aren't exactly a shrewd bunch are they.

I think it can't be true. I'll be very surprised if we let him go for anything less than 33mil.

And a partridge in a pear tree.

<strong>It's possible that both Real and Milan will offer player plus cash. Apparently we are interested in some players from these clubs (Makalele, Shevchenko, Gattuso etc.)</strong><hr></blockquote>
only lex luther could prise shevchenko from milan right now. and he wouldnt use him up front

Kluivert only goes for 1.5m if barcelona tells him they want to lower his wages.
