Luftstalag14 "We have an amazing squad that will be reinforced with new, incredible players."

Yeah, I'm not assuming that we will recuperate the entire fee - far from it - but I wouldn't be surprised if there's something going on between us and China. Perhaps it's just me trying to make some sense of this deal, if it ends up going through.

I rarely believe all these ridiculous rumors when they first surface, but this one has become persistent enough for me to actually fear it happening. The obly way I can make any sense of it, is if Barto has some sort of dodgy deal with some equally dodgy Chinese businessmen in regards to...

The British rumors are throwing around figures just just below €20m. Not exactly impressive, to say the very least, but better than nothing I guess.

Good thing Arsenal isn't an Italian side then.

Haven't we shaved off of our debt for the past handful of years now?

He's no Villa, though.

What kind of retarded logic is that? :lol: Do you really think that all the supposed clubs that want him now have struck some sort of deal where they all wait till the end of the window and then all present shit offers?

If the alternative is Paco or Denis, yeah, no doubt Mina.

And you've of course watched Arthur extensively to make such a claim, right?

You claimed they were all 30+ for God's sake :lol:

How was that deal laid out? Aren't Bayern in charge of whether he stays or returns?

It's all romatic and sweet what they're doing, and perhaps with time it will prove to be the right thing. Let's see now that Ronaldo is gone, and in a few years once Ramos and Modric hang up their boots. I'll bet my right ass cheek that they will need to spend big again sooner or later. Sure...

I'm pretty sure that's why we just signed Lenglet.

More often than not it seems to be a case of the grass being greener on the other side of the fence.

Sure, they have lots of room for variation in attack, but who would you have scoring freely once Bale breaks down yet again? They will buy an attacker.

RM just can't do no wrong in your book, huh? :lol: It's absurd to think that RM will take lightly on a trophyless season.

I'll be surprised if he turns out better than Keirrison... seriously though, it's obviously early days for him, but from what little I've seen of him, he looks like your dime a dozen Brazilian wunder kind who'll be way in over his head in La Liga.

:lol: The mere notion of RM replacing their greatest ever goal-getter with a super raw Brazilian kid with zero top flight experience is so over the top ridiculous. Of course they'll buy an attacker.

Apparently it was lower than that - just the 24m RM paid. According to this article, RM added a bit in performance related bonuses in order to appease AM.
