You can't seriously be quoting Talksport as a reliable transfer source! Load of gumpf.
that chubby Talksport Transfer lad from the south coast who's a cocky united fan (of course) once give an update on air based on a joke!!

it was about Maxwell Cornet, Michael Jackson was a caretaker manager and some bloke on twitter made up a joke that Cornet didn't realise he was permanent signing then MICHAEL JACKSON had to tell him "you are not a loan (alone)"

Great gag no doubt ,there was a few others, but the chubby twat reported is as news from "his sources"

I've treated him with ridicule and derision since.

Is that a touch of sarcasm 😀
 
Didn't we pay 40 ish for Romero, when he'd just won Serie A's best defender?

Paid like 17 for Gugli, who'd been playing senior footy for a good few seasons.

Hojbjerg was a solid PL player when we brought him over from So'ton...25 mil think it was?

Defo doable.

Fair examples

Add homegrown tax and by the time they V are as proven as Rice was you are paying 100m or 60m for Mason fucking Mount in the last year of his contract
 
Think it was you this time last year that was convinced we would sell Regullion at a decent price as he had “lots of interest in Spain” and that ndombele was a snip at our asking price at the end of his loan to turkey
My favourite recently was that we’d have been more successful in the last 5 years if we got relegated to league 1, promoted back to the PL and finished 15th this past season.

Quite. People completely underestimate recent changes in football over the last 3 years - English clubs have data analysts and no longer make kneejerk purchases from PL clubs for unwanted players (as was typical of Redknapp, Megson, Allardyce, etc etc). Secondly, foreign clubs have f all money

The amount of clubs in Europe that will spend more than £20M on a player is less than 15, so to think we can offload dross for 8 figures (who are on big contracts), is lunacy
 
We live in the era of Solanke being 'hot property' after a purple patch.

Standards are in the bin.
Also we have interest in Gimminez for £40M who scored 6 more goals than our own player parrot. To boot we are looking at loaning lankshear to boro who is 19 going on 20. When do we stop abd think to say hold on we have two strikers at the club plus Dane (who may not be good enough) that may be should give chance first. By all means go and get a real top quality striker and pay the money. But at least have one of own forwards in the squad. So many teams giving their young players a chance except us. I know some will say we give young players a chance but those are mainly the ones we have bought. Keep saying when we spend money we need to buying quality ie they are say better than any of our existing forwards.
