Fellaini off to Milan? :O

Hopefully not. For all his shitness, he plays well against Liverpool. Him and Mata and Fellaini is good choice to bring on when we need plan B (ala hoof the ball).
 
I saw rumors a week or 2 back about Felliani to Milan, they wanted a loan.

I'm not one who hates him but he is not what Milan need right now. Wouldn't be against it for the right price though TBH.

(also, Vidic has been released by Inter and Roma have got rid of Ashley Cole. What a combo they would have made a few years back!)

Any one else seen this? Pretty strong change Utd will have to pay over £60 million for Martial. Means he would be the British record signing.

Streaming Contrat Anthony Martial

I'm very sure that we will pay most of the clauses but that pdf doesn't like very believable. ManUtd CEO is Edward Woodward, in no legal documents they will use short names like "Ed woodward" if I'm not wrong. Also such a huge transaction is done on a white paper? Not even a club letter head or stamp paper sort, just a blank white paper? Not very believable.

If anything, the complete lack of branding, terrible choice in typeface etc make it more believable to me. You'd be amazed at how many top businesses are awful at all of this. I once had a bluechip company send me an invoice in Comic Sans ffs.

I don't know man. For a simple transaction we gets 10s of pages document. This looks like it was typed in MS word and converted to PDF using online PDF convertor. Lack of logos or letter heads means it's hard to believe this.

Also who will call CEO with their short name? Good he didn't type "Woody".
 
Whatever it was turns out to be it was massively over inflated.

Another reason to not panic buy the end of the window.

Why we HAVE to get Sturridge right because if he's going for that, f-knows what a proven goalscorer to lead the line would go for?

Except he was bought because someone else made a bid for him. Also impossible to call the price after half a season in a struggling side.

United wanted to sign him this coming summer window

Yeah I'm not convinced by either the lack of branding, or the way it looks to have been converted. Compare it to something you get from say FC Porto on a deal and you will see what I mean.

Not every transfer is same. There are many reasons why the transfer was left so late or completed year before than planned.

Exactly, first thing I did was to compare with Porto pdf that was officially published.

The latter. United's hand was forced. In fact United were lucky they didn't lose him entirely.

It was the initial fee that's still stunning.

£35 million down for a 19 year old with one full season under his belt. In France. That's over inflated however you cut it and then some.

I actually really like him and he may well develop into something that outweighs that. But there and then, that was a **** of a price to pay on potential.

Exactly. Every club was told that Martial is not available this summer but once they were eliminated from CL ManUtd moved very quickly and completed everything to avoid competition next season.

Had we waited till next summer, I'm sure we wouldn't have signed him. Who cares about extra 20-30 Millions when the club will be making over 600 Million Euros this season.

Also better to overpay and land the player rather than trying to be tight and losing players like Ronaldinho, Hazard and many others.

Yeah, probably this is exactly what Chelsea was thinking when they've reached an agreement with Pato...Pato is sick. Every team wanted Pato. Oh, wait. :D

Same was said of Shaw, no one talks about his price anymore. Now it's now important it is that he gets fits for the Euros/United
