Tier 3:
A Serie A club actually paying for a player still shocks me.
Just to infuriate you some more, I'm pretty sure it's 25%, not 15.
Edit: 20
Isn't Lazio the ones who were owning us money for Staam for years?
Who's to say they would sell him at all if they had different owners?
I wouldn't mind signing Todibo, but this rule is the right way forward.
How is this news to you? Or anyone else for that matter. We’ve known it since he went on loan. Do you think that Getafe were going to take him out of the goodness of their heart?
Of course they are, and the rabid nutters on here will lap it up.No way we want Alvarez. We could have signed him last summer and didn’t and West Ham would want a massive fee. I swear sometimes these journalists are just throwing out ETH linked players to rile people up.
Because for the first time in history of football and transfer business, I see one club to offer 20%What? Why?
Player + cash could be temptingDon't worry, he's a good source.
Edit : On the topic, I just wish the transfer fee is a bit higher but I don't think Italian clubs have that much money lying around. I guess this is the best we can get.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the approach. People just love to moan.
Edit: it’s also bizarre how certain posters seem MORE annoyed with Murtough than with the player himself.
Can’t change much if the persons steering the ship are still on gardening leaveWhat I'm seeing here is that:
A: we're skint, so can't do anything until we sell.
B: nothing has changed in terms of scouting and transfers.
My guess is that we haven't managed to get a scouting structure in place, and as usual, the people at the top don't really know what to do so we default to asking Ten Hag who he wants because after all, he did win the FA Cup right?
It feels very much like the on-field United in that, no matter how much the personnel changes, the curse persists and we have the same problems every season.

And that makes this time the lowest for the club? Weird logic considering there's been way worse things that have affected the club over the years than this.Because for the first time in history of football and transfer business, I see one club to offer 20%sell on clause to the club that the player has been loaned to.And we've been paying most of his salary at the same time.This is ridiculous and shameful.
They’re all Italian clubs so not in the way that you think.That's brilliant, hopefully this is true because three clubs going for could up that fee nicely if they start fighting for his signature.
Oh yeh I know that, but even a couple of million higher than that initial 30 million we heard about is better than nothing.They’re all Italian clubs so not in the way that you think.
I don't get the furore over the 20% thing, yes it's (possibly) unprecedented but it was an exceptional circumstance.
The alternative was no-one would take him and he stayed with United and if further weighed down our season.
That's not to say we couldn't have negotiated better, and got something done which didn't include that clause, but it's done now. The people who brokered it don't even work for the club anymore.

I think that you can't see logic, because your mind is driven by hate.And that makes this time the lowest for the club? Weird logic considering there's been way worse things that have affected the club over the years than this.
And getting rid of that scrote last summer was worth it anyway no matter the percentage if it is true.
Where were they when City ran amok?
Or even a loan? Is that allowed??100%, it's too easy.
That Tobido news is frustrating af. Surely there is a dodgy (but legal) workaround we can pull out from the hat?
Accepting cash "donations" to turn the other way.Where were they when City ran amok?
You're not wrong unfortunately. Real would be another. It is still painful for me to watch him go somewhere else - if we put his personal demons aside of course - could see him returning to his best and then some. Oh how I thought we already had RvPs successor in the house before all this.I see he fits the moral standards and ethical code required at Juventus.
Fenerbahçe has started official contacts to add Victor Lindelöf, who plays for Manchester United, to its squad!

United made an initial bid of £43million, consisting of a £35million fixed sum with £8million in add-ons, for the 21-year-old defender, but the Merseyside club value their player at £70million. Negotiations are continuing but United will not rush to make another bid, believing that Everton need to be more realistic with their pricing.
Unless a compromise can be reached United are likely to focus on other targets, including the Lille defender Leny Yoro, although they would face competition for the 18-year-old from Real Madrid and Liverpool.
