Rather get Pulisic on loan if that’s the price.
Im glad that you are not in charge of transfers.Rather get Pulisic on loan if that’s the price.
Let's see how he does in the CL and at the world cup.As good as I think he is, it still scares me that Bergwijn, who couldn’t hack it at Spurs went back to Ajax and looks class there.
Exactly. No resale value.He's closer to 30 than to 15.. pass
Talk to me when we get him for £80m and he’s not looking like an £80m player.Im glad that you are not in charge of transfers.
Harry Maguire is an £80m player, Paul Pogba £89m, what does an '£80m' player look like in the current climate?Talk to me when we get him for £80m and he’s not looking like an £80m player.
So it's not enough that our rivals are laughing at us for getting our pants pulled down twice, you want one more time as well?Harry Maguire is an £80m player, Paul Pogba £89m, what does an '£80m' player look like in the current climate?
Maybe your panicking like our stupid director John. But if you can’t see anything wrong with what you said. I cannot help you.Harry Maguire is an £80m player, Paul Pogba £89m, what does an '£80m' player look like in the current climate?
I'm not the one who's letting their laughter get to me and getting my shit twisted about it. It's not my money and I trust ten Hags judgement as he's signed him once before.So it's not enough that our rivals are laughing at us for getting our pants pulled down twice, you want one more time as well?
Panicking over what? It's not my money like I've said before, absolutely nothing to panic over. It actually seems like it's you who's letting the apparent price tag get to them.Maybe your panicking like our stupid director John. But if you can’t see anything wrong with what you said. I cannot help you.
Not a dig at you but I’m unsure why everyone seems to think there’s no money?My concern with this is that it means we will cheap out on a CM, or just won’t sign one.
I’d rather spend 80m on a DM and get a cheap forward
Like Pepe yeah.I'm not the one who's letting their laughter get to me and getting my shit twisted about it. It's not my money and I trust ten Hags judgement as he's signed him once before.

This guy will light up OT, €80m will be a bargain.
What's Pepe got to do with this transfer?Like Pepe yeah.
I'm not getting anything twisted. Every penny we overpay affects our future.I'm not the one who's letting their laughter get to me and getting my shit twisted about it. It's not my money and I trust ten Hags judgement as he's signed him once before.

Richarlison €71mAgain I ask for those baulking at the fee.
NAME ANOTHER LEFT FOOTED RW WE COULD BUY OF HIS QUALITY OR BETTER?
You have to spend responsibly. Being the most expensive winger in this league comes with silly pressure that he will not need when he’s coming from the Dutch league which has such a poor transition to the Prem it‘s now a running joke.What's Pepe got to do with this transfer?
What league was they playing in and delivering?Richarlison €71m
Raphinha €65m
Antony €67m
The fee is exactly where it should be really when consider what Richarlison and Raphinha went for.
People need to give their heads a wobble
I’m more worried about the current state of our squad and our prospects over the next 3 years than much further in the future.I'm not getting anything twisted. Every penny we overpay affects our future.
Richarlison is right footed but I get your point.Richarlison €71m
Raphinha €65m
Antony €67m

The only RW Raphinha wanted Barcelona only. So we’ve had no realistic alternative.What league was they playing in and delivering?
If he's the best option and available now, then why not buy him? It's about time we push through deals where we are convinced by a player. Liverpool did it with Nunez. City so it all the time. The alternative is we wait a year, he's still the best option, then we sign him. What's the point in that? He might star at the WC and end up with interest from all the top clubs.I'm not getting anything twisted. Every penny we overpay affects our future.
Pedro NetoI’m more worried about the current state of our squad and our prospects over the next 3 years than much further in the future.
We are not in the position where we have a strong hand negotiating we have lost our opening 2 games bottom of the league about to play our fiercest rivals and haven’t made a marquee signing yet to excite fans as per the glazer policy.
We don’t have the power to scrimp and save on top talent like Antony. Because again for the people at the back…
NAME AN AVAILABLE LEFT FOOTED RW BETTER THAN HIM WE COULD SIGN?
And? Even if you use the PL factor we are hardly being taken to the cleaners. Antony keeps them out of the National side and has been playing champions league football.What league was they playing in and delivering?
I reserve judgement until I see him at a higher level. He was 20th top scorer in a league where our rejects go there and tear it up.It’s more that he can be heavily involved in build up and get us into the box on the regular for me.
Of course the skills help just from a bums off seats experience.
I don’t think it’s realistic for us to get that
Name me a single left footed RW who would be better suited to Ten Hag?
The price is the price of our own incompetence. But he’s quality.
Its Sancho territory. This is the result of lacking a solid recruitment team. Its just "over to you gaffer".80m on him wow.... Thats equivalent on 80m for Harry. Never give all the power to the manager when it comes to signing players. He just went for targets he had worked with previously and we are grossly overpaying for them...
Hope not. We prioritise the wrong areas first.Just sign him. It'll be great to have an actual RW. We won't pay so much that is scuppers our ability to sign a CM so I wouldn't worry about it
Virtually everyone does.As good as I think he is, it still scares me that Bergwijn, who couldn’t hack it at Spurs went back to Ajax and looks class there.
Depay looked class for the Dutch national team. Bergwijn had 3 whole seasons of nothingness. Its hard to predict their true level for this reasonBergwijn also looks class at the Dutch NT. So it might not be that he couldn't hack it in the PL, but just not at Spurs for whatever reason
Plays more on the left, doesn't he? Also, he's not got the goalscoring ability of Antony, in my opinion. Which is the main point of inverted wingers. Good player, no doubt. But different to Antony and surely would cost a lot too.Pedro Neto
People are really nervous aren’t they now. Who does he keep out? He’s rotated with Raphinha and neither are a starter. Richarlison is more in the team than both of them. Jesus will be pushing through now aswell.And? Even if you use the PL factor we are hardly being taken to the cleaners. Antony keeps them out of the National side and has been playing champions league football.
Just more dramatic posting on the Caf. You want the player you pay the fee.
Antony will likely agitate for a move if a formal bid comes inThe new Ajax Tier 1 has it at more likely that Ajax will upgrade his contract(not length probably) than that they will accept 80m.
Yeh would much prefer Neto personally.Pedro Neto
Disagree with the goal scoring. They score at a similar rate. Yeah he does play on the left but is left footed and has played on the right often.Plays more on the left, doesn't he? Also, he's not got the goalscoring ability of Antony, in my opinion. Which is the main point of inverted wingers. Good player, no doubt. But different to Antony and surely would cost a lot too.
Its irrational to hear the fee and to start worrying or complaining it’s too much.People are really nervous aren’t they now. Who does he keep out? He’s rotated with Raphinha and neither are a starter. Richarlison is more in the team than both of them. Jesus will be pushing through now aswell.
It’s not dramatic posting the fee is just irrational.
When we spend that money and only sign one CM we will see how irrational it is.Its irrational to hear the fee and to start worrying or complaining it’s too much.
It’s not really and even if it is then it’s a very slight overpay as evidenced in the current market.
Yes, the player that has been kissing the logo and making heart symbols to the fans for the past few weeks will agitate for a move.Antony will likely agitate for a move if a formal bid comes in
He's not better, just cheaper.Pedro Neto
