Edinburghdon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 City sign Otamendi for £30 million. Decent player, not sure i'd value him at £30 million though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34002463 Wouldn't say it's too much at all, defender in his peak years, one of the standout defenders in La liga last year, top scoring defender too and regular international. Compared to £40m for john stones it's a steal. I suspect Man United missing out on him and pedro on the same day will come back to haunt them big time!

Tyrant Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The sad truth is you don't need to be a particularly good player to command £20m - £30m these days. Even the last player to go for £50m was actually worth £25m at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestooge Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Man Utd now pretending they are going to bid £240,000,000 for Neymar. It's a funny old game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 If that happens I swear I will never watch another EPL game as long as I live. I genuinely wonder how much of this is media shit stirring. No-one would be stupid enough to pay that for him, even if I do think United's transfer "policy" if it exists any more is flawed. You must be pleased Ballotelli looks to be on his way out, passed his medical at Milan today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Wigan accept United's offer £200K for McKay. A striker i wouldn't have minded at Pittodrie http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34074171 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestooge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'd love to gazump them on this one, unless May is still on the cards. Get in McKay and bring in Gauld on loan. That'd be hilarious. 200k is a great deal for someone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilton Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 $200k bit of a bargain if he finds his caley form. he went aff the boil for few months as well up there. but great signing I reckon for jutes. a player I would have liked to see us interested in . but looks like Parker is going be our last signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestooge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Man City look set to pay £54,000,000 for a player who failed to get into the Chelsea team 18 months ago. £54,000,000. £54(fifty-four),000,000(million). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestooge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 May officially up for transfer or loan but def on his way. Huns or Rotherham Sheffield fans saying This will just be a highest bidder scenario. Sheff Wed will send him to whoever will pay the biggest chunk of his wages. If he's on the reported 8k, I canna see us paying more than 50% absolute max. I think others will have deeper pockets. If we canna compete for May, move quickly for McKay.

manc_don Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Dhims have made a £500k bid for Christie with a view to loaning him back for the rest of the season. Not a signing they need to make I would have thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Well the Dhims are completing the Christie signing with him being loaned back out and it sounds like Islam Feruz is heading to the Hivees on loan from Chelski. Interesting signing (the latter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
