Not that it matters but it's the same story and Romano fans will believe in their god regardless.
Bottom line we signed him

Bottom line we signed him
Really good, was Martial the last time we took a chance and paid a big fee for a young striker like this?
Hojlund vs Haaland rivalry is going to be the new thing.
Di Marzio also said the Onana fee was higher than everyone else was saying.
All the Brit journalists posting 85m quid. Who's the dude in here that flexed on a poster because, "are you more reliable than The Times, mate?" 
Over 100 mil. Don't forget his contract in next 4 or 5 years.
People who come on here and complain about the amount we are paying seem to have either missed some of the exorbitant fees being paid by clubs left, right and centre..or they have some hitherto unknown list of great strikers that are available for bargain prices.
Football transfers are stupid anyway in this day and age, no point in getting riled up about prices for players when it is not our money anyway. This guy is hopefully solving a major problem for us. Just be happy about it for a few games at least!

Don't lowball it. They will easily spin it to £185m.
Fee agreed

Glad we got this done with some preseason left. Excited to see him in our team. Finally a striker who likes to score goals and adds tenacity.
We've had a very good summer to be fair! Think this will be it for our business, but would love 1 more.
Flight tracking from Bournemouth to Manchester?
I wonder what the bonuses look like.
Happy with this guy and happy with a forward signing. But this money is just to much.
Damn that's a huge fee for someone unproven and raw. So much pressure on the kid, the fee is a worry for me not all players can cope with big fees.
Here we go! Finally a proper forward!
The fee is ridiculous and I hope he will pay this all back as it will be expected from him.

Taken to the cleaners in all honesty 
That’s an absolutely insane fee.
There's nothing of the sort on Twitter. No "Last edited" at such and such a time. He didn't drop the news, chief.
£60m plus add ons. Not bad if he ends up being our striker for the next 10 years.
Doubting that's the fee given it was €70m + €5m for ages as the requirement.
But just so refreshing to be getting a young and proper CF in. Not a wide forward, not a poacher, not a player with shit technique, but a proper all complete CF who can be our focal point for years to come.

Happy he's ours but how have we not been able to negotiate that price down? Jesus.
He's gone from a 9 goal a season striker to potentially £72m (with addons) and our first choice striker.
My god, we really know how to over spend.
Really hoping ETH can see something we cant and he's a huge success.

Just remember that the deal Liverpool agreed with Benfica for Nunez is worth £85m and Klopp doesn’t even use him as a CF anymore.
Jass!! Welcome, Rasmus!
The market is barren for strikers, so no wonder he cost an arm and a leg.
Get in!! The price is a bit steep but we’ve finally signed a striker!! 
You bet they would convert £85m to €100m because 100m sounds nice and then they would ultimately declare it as a £100m transfer.
Inflation accounted for it's on par with Martial - and I would much rather see this guy grow than Martial stink the place up much further.
He looks a warrior I'm all behind this signing.
Have you not been following the transfer windows the last few years or something?
The kid has immense potential, which is why we paid so much. We’ll know if it was worth it or not pretty soon.
Yes we have - they wanted more originally.
I hope the thread isn't locked before we have determined who broke the news.
I have a feeling all the English journos are reporting the euro price in pounds. Romano said it's €70m including add ons.
Doomed
We did.
€75m + €10m = €85m which is roughly £72m including add-ons, earlier reports indicated United didnt want to pay more than £60m but it seems they compromised, the upfront fee is around £64m which is not too far from what the club wanted to pay, most of the fee over £60m are add-ons.
Still very expensive but great to get it done quickly
