Felipe Anderson

Or we could not penny pinch for the sake of £10m and buy the players Jose wants.

Is it penny pinching?
What if the player a d the value don't match?
It's not like we've had a good record with our signings. And if he was very good, he wouldn't be going from being linked with United to West Ham.

Who knows whether there was any substance to the paper talk? Maybe we scouted him and didn't rate the player, rather than getting to the brink of spending £50m.

I think it's more likely that the club similarly has taken a view on Milinkovich-Savic, his suitability and his value, and will act accordingly.

There does seem to be a lot of hype on players having one good season recently which is always risky as we’ve seen countless times players having a great season and then doing very little after. You’d hope any interest in a player is based on more than 1 season.

£80m is an absolute steal when you think of how much will be made in shirt sales.

Mallinckovich-savich

That’s 21 letters including the hyphen.

So at £5 per letter on the shirt, which is pretty reasonable, that’s £105 on top of the normal shirt price that we will be making. So one shirt which would normally only cost say just £150 would now be £255. That means we only need to sell 313,726 to make the money back. With a fanbase of 2bn worldwide, that means only 1 in 64,000 fans has to buy one of the shirts for us to make the money back. Essentially, that means that 1.17 people during one match at old Trafford (75,000) has to buy a shirt and we make the money back. So that could be one guy buying a shirt for himself and an unborn foetus. We would be insane not to buy him!

Believing newspaper rumours in the first place isn't a great start.

Until it's on the United website and a player is doing a press conference just ignore it...

Savic is off to juve if reports are to be believed

Savic is a player many have wanted for an age.
Guy is insanely talented and if he was english he wold command 150 million+
In fact I cant think of an English midfielder even close to his level of talent really.
I expect real, Munich, Man U and all the clubs with silly money to go for him this year or next.
Totally not a Jose player though and I think he'd suffocate him tactically like he has Pogbrush

Or it could be that selling clubs have a good idea of the buying clubs finances. It's no coincidence that the richest clubs on the planet are the ones who mostly get accused of over paying for players, it's because selling club often get more out of a rich club than a poorer one. I'm positive if united expressed an interest in Felipe Anderson the price touted would double.
