Their business since last summer has been woeful. Ben Arfa has been poor, Jese is already leaving next month, Krychowiak been poor too, Meunier has been the best of the bunch. If they can get Draxler playing well week in week out (good luck with that one) then Ben Arfa will be gone in the summer, and i think they may sell Di Maria or LucasTweet

£200m on Centre backs is absolutely hilarious tbf. VVD is good but he wont solve their problems. They need to actually sign proven top class quality, not someone who looks good for a season. Stones, Mangala spring to mindTweet

I'd happily take him at United tbh.Krychowiak been poor too
£200m on CBs alone is worse than any overspending accusation one can level against us. It's simply ridiculous.£200m on Centre backs is absolutely hilarious tbf.

£200 on centre backs would be ok if you ended up with a rock-solid defence that never conceded. The more they spend the more they concede, it's like some weird error strewn paradox.£200m on Centre backs is absolutely hilarious tbf. VVD is good but he wont solve their problems.

How about £40m but we throw in Fellaini as well?Decent offer but i want minimum £45m, especially after they fleeced us big time for Fellaini!
I think it's even more than that!40m for two players who barely make the bench is good business. Get a solid 150-180k off the wage bill as well.
No, it's £40m.Di Marzio works in Euros, so that's 40m euros. That comes to about £34m. We should reject that and call it derogatory.
Yeah I realised after reading the article again that it was. My bad. Either way, we should make them pay more.No, it's £40m.
That´s how i see it also. Pounds, euros, dollars i don't care tbh. It won´t rock this boat that much. Still it kind of pisses me off that we buy players without giving them a proper chance. Millions and millions time after time for players just to see their market value go down and then sell them on? I do understand that each manager have their own strategy and certain type of players they think they need, but sometimes this fecking circus seems so short sighted that it´s hard to believe it´s a business worth billions run by professionals.40m for two players who barely make the bench is good business.

If we talk about the two it's more like two 'top brands' somebody took a shit/peed on really, hence the price.If Chelsea are Waitrose, we're Lidl. Flogging top brands for rock bottom prices.
We really should. And option to buy them back as well. If Memphis somehow found his feet it would be painful to watch him fly in an other top club.Surely we'd be slightly smart and include sell on clauses on both considering they managed to get 50m for Stones, 24m for Lescott and 27m for a dandelion with elbows.
Think a first option and sell on clauses would be more realistic, doubt either the players or Everton would agree to a buy back clause.We really should. And option to buy them back as well. If Memphis somehow found his feet it would be painful to watch him fly in an other top club.
What form (Depay)? The usual bashing of grade C defenders and disappearing against any half decent defences? He might be talented but he has the attitude of an absolute flop and my bet is that he'll be gone from the PL within two years.Could be a steal for them if both players get back to form
I'am thinking the same.Nah I want £50m for the both of them or they can have Schneiderling for £20m or £25m and can take Depay on loan.
Taking an 8m loss is not so bad tbhI'am thinking the same.
£40m is just dirtass cheap for 2 players in the premier league. Would also rather see Depay go on a loan, still think he can turn out to be a good player.
Ha, only in football! (I agree with you btw)Taking an 8m loss is not so bad tbh
Ha, only in football! (I agree with you btw)
I hope the missus is in charge of the finances in your house?
I'd rather see we stopped buying every player for a monster transfer fee just to sell them for peanuts only a season later.£40m for two players we have no use for is good business. The pair of them have been shite and I'm glad we're getting rid of more deadwood. If it were up to some people on this forum we'd have a massively bloated squad, an enormous wage bill, and all our flops would be out on loan until they retired.
