Edinburghdon Posted August 20, 2015 Report 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! Quote
Tyrant Posted August 21, 2015 Report 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
scotfree Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 I see LVG is now saying that the press made up them going for Pedro. Quote
thestooge Posted August 25, 2015 Report 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
Tyrant Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 If that happens I swear I will never watch another EPL game as long as I live. Quote
manc_don Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report 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

Tyrant Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Got to be more to that story you would think! Quote
manc_don Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report 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
thestooge Posted August 27, 2015 Report 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

hilton Posted August 27, 2015 Report 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
hilton Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 May officially up for transfer or loan but def on his way. Huns or Rotherham Sheffield fans saying Quote
Jute Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Not yet a done deal though. Loving Stooge's thinking re gazumping them. We might not but apparently both Hibs and County are both trying to. Quote
thestooge Posted August 27, 2015 Report 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
thestooge Posted August 27, 2015 Report 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. Quote

Aye, I can see it being the huns, they've got to replace one long haired bastard with another. Quote
manc_don Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report 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
hilton Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 it all seems so desperate with tims and laughable it really is Quote
manc_don Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Posted August 28, 2015 it all seems so desperate with tims and laughable it really is 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. Quote
hilton Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 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 Quote
Jute Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Arabs sign Billy McKay on loan with a view to permanent deal according Dundee evening paper. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 Glad to see Deek getting his "hands off" comments in already. Just know rasellikbyrawatbigmansoitis will be sniffing round our squad soon. Quote
rocket_scientist Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 http://www.afc.co.uk/news/6653.php#.VeF9pPQnIm2 Slipped in from 3rd base, never seen this one coming... Wonder how much Ward influenced him? Good work guys. Quote
manc_don Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report 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
