Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I did not say it was not true, what I said is every summer we got several articles about players saying this and it really means nothing. In fact I am pretty sure the majority of players who are quoted saying things like this are never targets or end up signing elsewhere.

Ow yea, you got a point there true.

However in this case, I think we missed out and should have signed him before he went to PSG.

It's absolutely bonkers that they do this. The 11th player to go on loan, according to transfermarkt.

I do it on FM. Buy shed loads of highly rated regens and loan them out for a few years collecting loan fees along the way before selling them on. It is crazy that Chelsea do this in real life though!

That's nothing. Just wait until the end of the window. I'm pretty sure they had about 30+ players on loan in one of the last few seasons.

I will try one last time. Say you have a craving for something, but you want the best. You go to the place where you want to buy it from, but find out that the price has been raised by a lot. At this stage you either walk away, or you want it bad enough that you cannot walk away because you will not find it anywhere else. So you end up paying and taking home that expensive thing you just bought. Now this is when the problem starts, the store owners next to the shop you went to saw' or heard the price that you paid for that item and want into that action. They don't have the exact same quality of the item that you purchased, but they think that they can increase the price of their product and see if anyone bites.

Next time someone who has a similar craving as you goes to the stores to purchase that product, he cannot find the same thing, but something similar is being sold in the store next to it, but when he pops into that store, he finds that the store owner is asking for a lot more than what he was selling for a month ago. He is in the same dilemma as you, either walk away, or end up paying the asking price. Now, he has the same craving as you, and has the money to pay for it, so he ends up paying the asking price and taking it home.

So.......who is responsible for that price increase? The buyer because he paid what was being asked? The seller because he increased his price because he think that's what it is worth? Or both because they helped increase the price of that product for everyone else?

Both the seller and the buyer are responsible for inflating the market. Now, I don't know if you were blaming only us for inflating the market but to me it felt like you were blaming only us while Real (for buying Ronaldo), Juventus (for asking so much for Pogba and for buying Higuan) and Barcelona (for setting such a big release clause) are just as equally responsible for inflating the market not just PSG and us. At least United spend the money earned by the club itself and not money given by some sugar daddy.
 


Obvious move. Guy has made mistakes but also has the rare centre back talents to be a success in Guardiola's system
 
If it wasnt for Klopp being a self-assured smug cockend, I'd feel sorry for him losing his best player during a re-build. It'd be a proper 4 steps back situation for him.
