English media in general don't seem reliable with prices, which is expected as it's hearsay at the end of the day.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I personally don't give a toss. I just see a players has moved clubs and don't care about the fees involved.
It doesn't bother me. I was no more connected when the best players were costing £4 million.
You could relate to footballers at one point, but now they're getting paid movie star money you can sense that they're becoming more and more self entitled.
Look at rugby players of today, that's the time I liked football, idols! Now football is filled with cnuts I despise, granted you get a few Herrera's etc but they're few and far between these days.
Yep. Its not just the transfer fees and wages, the whole game at the top end is all about money. From ridiuclous TV deals forcing fans to pay stupid amounts to watch a few games, to clubs preferring to finish 4th becaus its worth more than winning a trophy. Every aspect of the game is money orientated and its been slowly ruining it for a while,
Neymar lawyers in Barcelona to finalize a new contract.
This is an utterly SHOCKING turn of events!
This window would be doing well to be called a pricktease, at least that would involve actually contact, its more like being spammed by a sexbot.
This guy seems to be an absolute joke of a journalist. First he said it's definitely done, then Neymar had some doubts and now he is signing a new contract.
How boring, what a dull and tedious window.
Guess top 3 players now have decided on which club to use for their annual contract extensions. Ronaldo will use us, Messi will use City and Neymar will use PSG.
Wow this transfer window has turned to shit. Another month to go.
Marcelo Blechler still covering all his bases.
If they're gonna give him a new contract make the buyout 300m.
If I am not wrong Barça paid to his father 50m€ for the last renewal, last year. Would they pay him again?.
I think Barcelona shouldn´t fall into blackmail every six months
Shouldn't. Which is why if they give him a new contract, they need to impose some things as well. Like +1 year and 300m. buyout at least.
Neymar to stay one more year so Barca have time to sort things out.
Barca had no idea this would happen, they were working on Paulinho ffs.
The leg work needed to sign a big enough star to replace Neymar just isn't there.
Higher wages and he'll be gone next year, just like Antoine

The feck? €50m to his Dad just for a contract renewal? That's disgusting
And just to think a mere 6 months ago people were e-self immolating because Lingard was on 100k.
I hope it does. Tired of all those whining non-United fans mouthing off about how Pogba is over rated and how we destroyed the transfer market. Let the burden roll over to PSG and Neymar for now.
Why? So they can loan him out for several seasons before selling him on. Should be banned from loaning anyone that pathetic club.
It's become mercenary which in itself makes it harder to relate to the players since many of them play for the money rather than any particular desire to play for a club.
Meanwhile Neymar Sr is in New York with the Barca board and Zahavi met Henrique in Paris.
The game is being played in Barcelona, New York and Paris.
In fairness, if Neymar is worth £500k, Lingard is worth at least minimum wage!
Hopefully since we are not getting Perisic, Lucas Moura is the answer. He doesn't throw any tantrums and he works hard for the team and needs a bit more direction to be more productive. I think Jose could work wonders with him. He's only 24 as well. Martial, Rashford, Lucas, Mata, Lingard wouldn't be bad for wingers going into the season.
My only worry is that he plays as a right winger. Because we have Valencia who is so good going forward and we don't have anyone like him at left back, it makes much more sense to play a proper winger on the left side and cut in/drift in type winger on the right. Otherwise we would be very wide on the right side but our left side would be non existent, would give us more variety in attack to have width on both sides
Agreed. Exactly the reason I think we're favouring a left winger it seems.
So i see PSG has gotten tired of their Di Maria toy now. So glad they came in for him to cut our losses
Plus €40M to sign him in the first place
And barcelona will cave. They're the kind of club who allows its superstars to blackmail them. Messi signed 5 new contracts since 2008(2008-2009-2013-2014-2017)
Sure he's Messi, but Neymar's not that far behind
Did a quick name search of the old pogba transfer thread. If you did feel like that you certainly didn't utter those concerns. Just saw alot of the usual panic posts from you when a big transfer saga drags on "oooh if it doesn't happen within this week then it's never ever gonna happen thats just how I feel and my opinion so there" type of stuff.
You seemed eager enough for it to go through.
Sorry nothing to do on a sunday.
