Bebé, Fellaini above release clause, Herrera one year later, and a 5m gift in Nani's wages to Sporting, which added to the rest severely overvalues Rojo.

You really need to do something about your upper management. It's wonderful doing business with you lot.

Shhh don´t spoil their fun man :p If this package is overvaluates Rojo, what would you say about what City payed for Mangala? For all is worth, Rojo had a much better year than Mangala last season.
 
So....Is anyone with some sense, going to answer my question from the other thread??? Is he any good? My other thread was feck all to with me not knowing we were after him or any shit like that. It was a simple question, I know nothing of him and want to know if he is he any good. All the dicks that laughed can go feck yourselves, Sensible answers only please.
 
Chevrolet, adidas and AON agree.
I'm talking about the football people. Which is what is supposed to matter to fans, unless some of that money will end up in your pocket.

City don't manage, they throw money around.

You might want to find Rojo thread in transfers forum.
 
:lol:

I never felt that. In fact I have no idea which players, among the ones whom Porto signed this season, said they were happy, and said it's a dream. It's irrelevant. Or perhaps not, if one makes fans happier it might not be so redundant as that?

It makes me happier. I'm like that. :D

We've just had our worst season in over 20 years, can't offer Champions league football and had no manager to conduct any business until a couple of weeks ago. And even then he was straight on tour and had to evaluate his squad. We were in a somewhat similar situation last year. We had a new manager who was unproven at the top level and was always going to struggle to attract top players. He also had to come in and assess the squad and then identify targets, so it's been a tough couple of transfer windows for us.

But I have faith in the men at the top because of those sponsorship deals. Whether or not we have it right now, we will have the money to attract top talent soon and if we can get back into the top four and offer Champions League football next year, with a manager who can start to identify targets for next year now, we'll have much better transfer windows ahead.
 
I think moving from Sporting to United/Madrid/City/Chelsea/Arsenal/Everton/Barca/Bayern/Dortmund is a 'dream move' for any player.
 
No they said they'd use €9m of the transfer fee on their pavilion.
Google translate said that you mean ;)
Their official statement reveals €10 million to be paid now with two €5 million installments in the future.
Ah right. This explains it. A bit annoying cause I'm not entirely sure he's worth nearly £20m :(
 
A simple yes or no would suffice.

Not many people actually know.

Even if they have seen him play well week in week out at Sporting that does not mean that form will translate to the EPL. From what I have seen he likes a tackle, has got good pace, he can run with the ball and can pass too.

Will he fit the system that LVG wants to play here? LGV thinks that he can or we wouldn't be buying him. I think he is our first signing that was actually suggested by LVG so I'm willing t o give him a chance.

I don't know where he will be with his fitness having played in the World Cup Final.
 
Just checked his stats (admittedly Wikipedia) and he doesnt appear to have had any seasons where he has played the amount a first team regular would. Is there any reason for this?

Also with Nani gone we are very short on wide players. Obviously in our current formation this isn't a problem but if we switch later in the season surely we need to sign someone?

Thank you. Nice to have someone answer a simple question with a simple answer. Why do some have to think they are superior to all others where football is concerned. Pompous fecking twats.

At the moment I don't really care if we pay £5m over odds on every player we bring in. We need quality in the squad and more importantly players that LVG has highlighted and believes will do well with his philosophy.

If LVG wants him then I'm happy for him to be here.
 
Im looking forward to watching him too. Cant imagine why, but for the sort of reason you might enjoy watching a Luiz/Pepe hybrid playing for a rival team! :p
 
Why are people getting so caught up in us paying Nani's wages, Sporting wanted more cash, rather than us doing that we have essentially done a free loan deal which we could benefit from in one of 2 ways.

Nani has a good season and has something to offer us.
Nani has a good season so has some resale value

Nani stay as he is and is worth nothing.

I don't see it as a problem, 16m or 21m for Rojo, not to fussed.

Valencia
Adnan
Young
Zaha

We have wide players. Lacking in quality, maybe.

If were able to land Di maria it would make sense in a way. Januzaj and di maria first choice, young and valencia backup, thats more than good enough for a team without champions league. the enxt year you can look at dumping 1 of the backups for someone like depay.
 
Good signing, good name.

Most foreign defenders struggle at the beginning in the premier league, it took vidic and evra half a season to shine, we need to give him time.
 
Not too impressed with this signing! Doesn't show an intention to return to the top. This is an Europa League signing or 3rd 4th Place at best but doesn't compare to the likes we call world class. Hope i am proved wrong and eh will have my full support from day one but I think he is prone to make errors either positioning or disciplinary.
 
I don't know why everyone assumes we are paying Nani's wages? Free of charge means no loan fee, not that we are necessarily paying his wages.

I just came in the thread to say exactly that - I dont see anything in the official statements to say we are paying all of Nani's wages

Why do you think that? Have you seen evidence of it?
 
I've said it in the other thread too, no answer. I'd be very surprised if we are paying his wages.
Sporting can't afford his wages at all, I am just hoping we are at least not paying his full wages!
