Willian would have been a huge asset in our team.

Still haunted by the Costa, Willian, Mkhitaryan and Konoplyanka transfer sagas, so it's hard to get my hopes up completely.
I swear once one paper makes up a rumour or 'reports' it every other paper just publishes it over the next week?

Fee agreed. He probably isn't that good then.

Now on the BBC and Sky that we've agreed a deal.

He was absolutely shocking for Brazil against Colombia.

Most overrated, overpriced nationality in world football.

I think it'd be a pretty close run thing when you consider people like Luiz, Robinho, Afonso Alves, Hulk and Anderson. We're probably just more aware of the English ones because we follow English football.

I figured he was talking about the Scottish.

Cost just ~£1million less than Sanchez

£22 million, rising to £29 million.

You need to make the CL in the next 2 seasons and he needs to play 100 games. If neither of those two things happen then it'll be worse than him cost £1million less than Sanchez

A case could be made for either. It's certainly affected by the fact that English clubs have more money, plus I don't know what Brazilian homegrown quotas are like.ResurrectionRooney wrote:Glen Miller wrote:

Well that's the thing, English players are hugely overpriced domestically, but you can only sell within that market. Brazilians go for a massive premium worldwide.

£29m for Frimino is fine. He was one of the best players in Germany last year.

We spent £35 million on Carroll. Don't think I mind £29 million on Firmino
Tbh, none of us should give the slightest fuck about the finance side of things

Did you watch much Hoffenheim then?

Why not? Money you piss up the wall on overpriced players is money you can't spend on high value players, which are what you need unless you have a huge financial advantage.

You did say "in world football" so that's probably fair. From our perspective we went for the second most expensive nationality, so it's a step in the right direction.ResurrectionRooney wrote:Well that's the thing, English players are hugely overpriced domestically, but you can only sell within that market.

Goodness only knows where we'll go from here.

France Football are linking Koscielny to Real Madrid, think I'll self harm if that happens.

Was about to laugh at the price, but £22m isn't that bad. Still too much imo.

Hopefully it is as a replacement for Ramos.
