Every other guy in that photo with a smile on their face but Vidal who is about to wreck someone in the rondos and some poor unsuspecting barman later in the evening. :vidal:

We are the only team in the world that spotted such a great opportunity aren't we? These other teams are just a bunch of amateurs and shot themselves in the foot by not wanting to make such a "good deal". FFS just imagine the resale value in case it doesn't work. Could reach an orgasm just...

Yeah dude, we went on a serious battle with Tottenham for his signature. Fucking Tottenham of all teams. Who are the other teams that have seriously been in for him? Some flimsy rumors from Liverpool and Juventus at best but not one serious offer. Spare us the bull.

Been saying this over and over again. Over 5 years we'd spend about 30 to 40m more on the likes of De Jong/N'Dombele than on Rabiot. A drop in the ocean for a team like us. The outrage at the transfer sum for De Jong is mind boggling really, especially since he'll cover one of the most sensible...

Rabiot is not an angel himself so he gets what he deserves. Fuck him and his bitchass mother.

Expect Madrid to be in for him. Modric will probably leave for Inter in the summer, maybe Isco too somewhere else. They'll need serious reinforcements in midfield. We'll get outbid once more. People will still argue that Raki, Busi and Rabiot is all we need despite all evidence to the contrary.

Frenkie is already PSG bound. Seems like it's Rabiot for midfield and that's it. That's one way to increase the transfer budget, sell declining players while they still have value left and buy the next wave of talents/wc players. For example I would sell both Rakitic and Suarez, forget that...

Would bet a nut that if internet boards existed around 1996-1997, you'd get people arguing about not paying a world record sum to sign Ronaldo because he was unproven or justifying his sell to Inter one year later. Some people have made it their religion to stick up for this cancerous board so...

Don't get me wrong I'm also not sold on anything but WC. I'm tired of half assed measures however do you see how we at like we don't have any money? You can't buy world class players by spending 40 tops. Martial's has one year option from the summer of 2019 onward. His contract expires this...

Did you think about the resell value of Gomes? No? Then you're doing it wrong when that's all that matters around here nowadays. That's where the prestige comes from.

Half measures is what we're all about. Forget spending money on true talent and quality. Many around here probably still think Liverpool overpaid for Van Dijk. Same with Manchester City and De Bruyne a few years ago.

Yes he is. Both for Ajax and Holland. True, he can also play as a CM which would make him all the more desirable. Meanwhile Rabiot's best position is DM and he doesn't want to play it. He is decent as a 6 and below-par as a 8.

Rabiot will eat into Arthur's and Alena's minutes since he is not a DM.

I was being sarcastic. So you're not really disagreeing with me. We can and have spent just as much, that's clear. There's a legion of fans that can't see the forest for the trees. I used gross figures. Rabiot: 20m/year x 5 years = 100m + 10m bonus = 110m. If we get him in January add...

Probably around 10m which is not that much in the grand scheme of things but adding his high salary and bonus, the sum keeps pilling up. Over 5 years we'll spunk 120m on him meanwhile N'dombele or De jong would be around 30m more over the same period. Obviously the difference would be crippling...

Yeah but they don't pay squad players 10m net a year. That's almost De Bruyne level wages, their best player, while Aguero earns less than that. We are ready to throw the same at a player that will not have the same impact as those 2. Not even remotely close. Wages are out of control because of...

Not tall enough. You see the bloke behind him? That's the dude we should've bought. Fucking midget once again.

Like we can't get rid of some declining players and put those money towards his transfer. But no, we'll keep thinking Rakitic is the cat's tits and we'll have a 50 year old Rakitic still playing 50 games/year in the future.

Good move. If only I had confidence in Pique maintaining a good level throughout the season, I wouldn't even be against him staying with the team as a 4 choice CB and use him in all CdR matches and at home against teams in the bottom of the table. However, looking at Pique's inconsistent form...

There are Martial and Werner, both with 1 year left in the summer. But neither of them are out-and out strikers, more like left wingers that like to cut inside, which we could do with tbh.
