Not as far as I'm concerned. Many on here write off the Brazilian league to easily.Is the French league even a step up to the Brazilian one, footballing wise?

That's what I was thinking, the Brazilian league has improved over the past few years, a Mickey Mouse club won the French league last season.Not as far as I'm concerned. Many on here write off the Brazilian league to easily.
Its a higher level of competition imo, I feel its also the best league if one wants to adapt to the PL.Not as far as I'm concerned. Many on here write off the Brazilian league to easily.
Cass and everone beleived we'd signed him on Saturday this was a last minute gazumping. The agent earned his fee.Cass
Tbf it looked like we had it done. Looks like PSG really only came in the frame over the last 48 hours.Cass
Then I'm dying to know who else we were in for.Lou has placed doubts on whether we were truly interested for him.
Platini effectively prepared to have a strong PSG and weak Ligue 1.Never had a chance of matching that, PSG are pissing all over FFP.
No but Sao Paulo have accepted the offer andLucas was happily talking about joining them the other night.So, has he officially signed for PSG?
He's gone quiet Platini hasn't he?Platini effectively prepared to have a strong PSG and weak Ligue 1.
Lou knows nothing...Lou has placed doubts on whether we were truly interested for him.
The same Lou that thinks Kagawa is similar to Park.Lou has placed doubts on whether we were truly interested for him.
Good luck to him with that. PSG will be reluctant to sell him.Give him a couple of years and he'll be dreaming of playing for Madrid. At least we've been spared all that crap.
Is he though? Or is he just cheaper..Good news. Now lets get Isco who is much better anyways
feck that. Somebody just delete this bastard thread.Time for the lock.
We wern't sucked in by hype though, this was going to happen until we got gazumped. Sneijder was denied from all quarters but the press and United fans early on and we only had ourselves to blame. This and the Hazard deals are ones that we were actally involved in and for some bizarre reason (cash) players would rather go elsewhere.feck that. Somebody just delete this bastard thread.
After Sneijder gate last summer i didn't think it was possible for us all to get so sucked in by the hype and then end up ultimately disappointed yet again.
Whatever it is he sure ain't coming to United.What a crazy fee. God knows what Neymar will cost when he moves eventually.
Yes without a doubt.Is the French league even a step up to the Brazilian one, footballing wise?
cheaper than andy carroll using today's exchange rate.9th biggest transfer fee ever. PSG can have him for that.
To be honest I'm agreeing with you here. I trust Fergie's judgement and would've taken him, but I couldn't really feel any disappointment when I saw he was going to PSG. It was borderline relief if anything.Have a sneaky feeling we've dodged a bullet there.
Feel free to bump and quote when he wins the ballon dor in a few years.
Amazing money for someone who gets a few minutes a game for Brazilian Olympics team. PSG have just done this to flex their muscles. They didn't need him and it could be a massive mistake for the kid. He will be typical of a lot of Brazilian players in europe that get shunted round from club to club by greedy agents.That's a stupid sum of money for someone who has done very little and with a lot of holes in their game. I am NOT just changing my tune now, BTW. He's talented but nowhere near what has been made out, and that fee is just crazy. I would have taken him for 20 million, but even that is steep for him IMO.
Very true.We wern't sucked in by hype though, this was going to happen until we got gazumped. Sneijder was denied from all quarters but the press and United fans early on and we only had ourselves to blame. This and the Hazard deals are ones that we were actally involved in and for some bizarre reason (cash) players would rather go elsewhere.
I did not have much interest in this transfer as can be proven by my lack of posts in this thread. But I don't think that is ridiculous money for a rated youngster in current market. 30m for Rooney when we got him was called crazy by many United supporters on here as well. Looks like a bargain now. If Lucas does turn out to be as good as his potential suggests, no one will remember the money involved. People expecting us t sign another Ronaldo for 12m can forget about it IMO. We will need to scoff a similar amount for such talent from now on IMO€43M
Looking forward to people blaming the club for not pursuing him further. Ridiculous money.
I just think that all the threads about players we wanted to sign and most of them we actually had a lucky escape. The big majority have not been as good as we thought. We have all these hopes of big signing every season. Schneider was rubbish last season and what about Joe Cole, he was terrible.Crazy money but think off it like this...
Andy Carroll was more expensive!
