City sign Otamendi for £30 million. Decent player, not sure i'd value him at £30 million though.

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]

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.

[scotfree]

I see LVG is now saying that the press made up them going for Pedro. 

[thestooge]

Man Utd now pretending they are going to bid £240,000,000 for Neymar.

 

It's a funny old game.

[Tyrant]

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.

Proof, if there ever was any needed that Dundee is a shit hole

[Tyrant]

Got to be more to that story you would think!

Wigan accept United's offer £200K for McKay. A striker i wouldn't have minded at Pittodrie

[thestooge]

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.

Not yet a done deal though.

Loving Stooge's thinking re gazumping them.

[hilton]

$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

[hilton]

May officially up for transfer or loan but def on his way.  Huns or Rotherham Sheffield fans saying

We might not but apparently both Hibs and County are both trying to.

[thestooge]

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).

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.

Aye, I can see it being the huns, they've got to replace one long haired bastard with another.

[manc_don]

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?

[hilton]

it all seems so desperate with tims and laughable  it really is 

[manc_don]

It really does, but it's still fucking annoying they keep going and stealing anyone that is remotely any good. It'd be embarrassed if I was a dhim.

[hilton]

sure does manc . know  thought has went into any this . Armstrong and Mackay Stevens were panic buys and Cifiti also.    tims already think two them not up to it. . can  you imagine the panic  and comedy value there is going be come January transfer window if we are breathing down there necks .  oh it will be Carry on  the Tims with Jim Dale as Delia. Oh reds keep this pressure up please 

[Jute]

Arabs sign Billy McKay on loan with a view to permanent deal according Dundee evening paper.

[Madbadteacher]

Glad to see Deek getting his "hands off" comments in already.

 

Just know rasellikbyrawatbigmansoitis will be sniffing round our squad soon.

Slipped in from 3rd base, never seen this one coming...

 

Wonder how much Ward influenced him?

 

Good work guys.

[manc_don]

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).
