Transfer within leagues will always command higher fees. Standard stuff really.

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.
That would be the Salah replacement sorted if they get Mahrez.
Exactly. They wouldn't want to strengthen a direct rival and they don't need money.

If it happened (and assuming he can stay fit for much of the season) they'd be handing us the league title in my opinion. Agüero is still top class and I'm not sure why Pep doesn't seem to fancy him as much as previous managers did.
They could play him on the right instead of Son. Eriksen, Alli, Barkley behind Kane. I think he'd develop well under Pochettino. £50m would be a great deal for Everton. Sigurdsson's easily a better player right now imo
Any thoughts on who City would replace Augero with?
I'd assume they would want to replace him with Sanchez
Cheers. Makes sense.
Pep only likes attacking midfielders/wingers. Defenders, strikers, keepers and defensive midfielders are a nuisance to him.
Nolito officially a Sevilla player.
Well i guess the Matic bait didn't work
He was never going to join us and was using our interest to get a better contract, with his preferred club.
Same thing applies to Griezeman - he used us to get a better contract, then made up some story that the only reason he chose to stay was the transfer ban. If this was truly the case, he'd have signed for us now, for the move to happen in January, when the transfer ban is lifted.
Naingolan, Schneider, Gaitan, Griezeman, Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Ramos - none of these players will be playing for us in their prime. When they are 35+ and if we are interested, they may join.
It's not our fault if Barkley wants out and if Everton have left it fester until there is just one year left on his contract. Like any club, Spurs don't want to spend any more money than they have to - to expect £50m for a player in that situation is simply unrealistic.
Nainggolan, Griezmann, Sneijder.
We won't be offering £40 - 50m. I'd be surprised if Levy is willing to go beyond £30m, given the contract situation.
As to it making sense for Barkley, it depends on what other offers/options he has - does he have any better offers? He may well believe that he can break into our first XI - and I hope that he does have that self-belief if he comes to us. As for the rest, we offer CL football, a London location, a club that finished in 2nd place last season, excellent training facilities and no doubt at least as much money in wages as he is getting at Everton.
Moreover, he will already know Kane, Rose, Dier, Trippier and Alli from England duties.
All in all, it's hardly a stretch to think that he may well see Spurs as an attractive proposition.
Slow for Premier League transfers in this widow so far. It's all Serie A doing the deals at the moment it seems.
It wouldn't surprise me if Pochettino sees him playing - or being coached to play - in a deeper CM role: Dembele will need replacing at some point in the next couple of years perhaps. And in the meantime he can provide squad cover/competition for Eriksen etc.
Everton and Milan doing enough business for 20 clubs combined.
Diego Alves joins Flamengo.
Quite like that layout. Hopefully if United sign more players we can do something similar
.So is Ac Milan buying as much players as they need to fight for a trophy. After that just don't give a shit if they get some 2-3 window transfer ban?
Why would they get a ban?
I think it shows character and loyalty towards Roma. The PL and even United has a bit of mercenary look about it nowadays. Hamsik and now Nainggolan are examples of players in Serie A who, by staying at their clubs, are not only endearing themselves to fans but also ensuring continuity in the team's structure and managers building teams around them. The latter part is a matter of prestige as well.
Football in Italy is perhaps still more about emotions than money (except Milan). I like it and will make sure I watch more of Serie A this season.
I thought because of the financial fair play rules? Or is this any financial fair plays rules anymore? I actually did ask same before.
He'll leave this summer, Torino are just playing a game. He probably won't even go for the fee they're allegedly demanding.
Have Milan sold anyone to accomodate all those new players? There's even talk they are going to go for one more striker
A bunch of fringe players have left - Honda, Bertolacci, Andrea Poli, Diego Lopez, Kucka and a few younger players.
I hope Milan get Belotti to. Partly to screw Chelsea out of another striker and partly because I really want them to do well again.
