That's £32m each .... right??

We were offered more money for Bale from Man U and Levy didn't bite. I wouldn't be so sure Man U will be snatching up our players any time soon. They won't even be able to promise them CL ball next year. Rest easy mate, I don't think it'll be a problem.
He's an absolute fucking idiot, he's too thick to be a cunt, it's just a lack of the normal function of a human mind
This sums him up perfectly

I highly highly doubt it. I can see Levy wanting 30m for Vertonghen and 20-25 for Dembele. We bought Dembele for 15 and Vertonghen for 10. No way would we sell to a rival to only make a 7m profit. Also Dembele is not the answer for them. I could see them being interested in Vertonghen, but not Dembele.
Oh mate, I lost a painful amount of respect for you for this post.
I'm hoping it's a temporary blip.
Perhaps I should have been clearer it was sarcasm.
It's irony of discussing signing players that not even the media have pretend we're linked to (which is usually quite difficult), or talking about buying/selling players based on a judgement of how good they are on a game - because we all know how it turns out in reality (Bakayoko (Everton), Aghahowa (Wigan), Kim Kallstrom...).
In all fairness, I think last summer's transfer window was planned by someone playing too much FIFA... I'm almost tempted to say we've completely lost the team's identity this season.
I'm gonna say something that's not really that popular, but I can't think of one signing we made last year that's a bad signing.
I think the key is in the team identity that you mention. I'm not convinced that the players we have play togther well as a cohesive unit, and I think that's what is letting us down. In other words, it's not that the signings were bad, it's just that they weren't the right combination of players. I therefore think that it's going to take some skilled management to get them working well together. Whether that is Timmy or someone like LvG remains to be seen.
I agree, of course I didn't intent it to sound like we made any bad signings (although Soldado hasn't worked out and he doesn't have a lot of time to fulfil that cash), but if someone had just got off a game of Football Manager or FIFA they would have said "I'd sell Bale and buy Lamela, Soldado, Eriksen, Chaldi, Capoue, Chiriches and Paulinho". It was a string of transfer's you'd expect from a 14 year old "ITK".
Part of the irony is that, even though it's not worked well for us (as you can't sign 7 players at once and expect them to gel), people will undoubtably expect the same shit again this summer... (we need a striker, left back, centre back, back up keeper etc....) . City took a few season to gel after their outlay.
We signed them for not too far away from £32m..........seriously when people dream this stuff up (not just ITK but clubs trying to buy players) they should at least consider realistic transfer fees based on a) how much they were signed for previously, b) whether their last transfer was a success, c) their age.
Vertonghen would go for the £32m by himself.
Easy £32 million with Levy and Barca maybe interested, £40 million wouldn't be out of the question, maybe a swap deal with Sanchez. Still hope we never sell Verts, amazing player. United really are having a laugh if this report is true.
He probably could, but I would rather he didn't.
Would take him in a heart-beat
I'd take him as well...
...to a remote location somewhere in the country where his body will never be found

Totally agree, not only is the bloke a former gooner and a cunt, but cherryl not being part of his package makes not signing him a no brainer
