You're right it is daft money. I wonder if he was lower down the list of targets scouted, hence the late transfer. Man Utd aren't quite the attractive proposition these days (compared to their previous standing under Fergie)

Speculation that Arsenal are splashing out £67 million for Gonzalo Higuain.  Not a chance in my view.

Aw bless 'em.

Well let's put it this way, he's a bit of step down from Muller.

From one of the Tottenham boards.

In a nutshell springs to mind.

"Well, it looks like Man Utd's shambles of a transfer window is helping the Monaco coffers. We bid, he signs a new contract; Man Utd have to pay double, they accept. Least we are 2nd in the list of panic buying at the end of the transfer window this time.....that is if we do buy before the deadline.​"

Just had a look at some numbers:

Pedro (19M £/26M €) and Mandžukic (13,8M £/ 19M €) is less than Martial.

I cannot seriously believe United are paying £36m. But who knows?

So, Zenit slap a £73m fee on Witsel.

Levy comes in with a £13.8m bid.

What an utter cockwomble.

EDIT. Now The Mirror have decided we haven't bid at all.

£73m? No wonder you're in for Wanyama instead. 

Marca reporting De Gea has agreed the transfer to Real Madrid, with Kaylor Navas moving the other way.

I can believe the first part, but not so sure about Navas going to Man Utd. Stranger things have happened though

There have been an alarming number in the last 12 months.....

And that's how it has panned out. De Gea out, Navas in.

DDG joins Real Madrid. No marque signing imminent.

Is that right they ballsed the paperwork up and the deal is off? Is it also right that he out of contract at the end of the year meaning he will now walk on a free???  Surely none of this is true?????

Man U are really panic buying LVG spending 35,000,000 on a 19 year old.......come off it . His spending will go past the 250,000,000 mark, that is crazy .
