According to the Beeb United have 'not offered' Zlatan a new contract, which I find surprising. Their second top scorer in the league was Mata with 6 goals.

SW5 SAINT Posted 9 June, 2017 Share Posted 9 June, 2017 He's out for a good year though, he'll probably sign one when he's back fit. Although money seems to be no object, I expect ManU are probably relieved he hadn't signed the contract extension offered. His wages would probably have cost about £12m whilst recovering from that injury, and at 36 years of age no guarantee he would ever be the same player again. The other side of the coin of freedom of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he might offer more of the field than on it, not sure that Bournemouths budget stretches to that kind of signing really.

Heisenberg Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 Very interested to see how much they spend this summer. (They'll have the Lukaku money as well). They will do well to replace Lukaku - top goal scorers like that a few and fair between. Think Koeman will do very well to finish top 12 next season with the squad transition and Europe.

way down south Posted 12 June, 2017 Share Posted 12 June, 2017 thing is that teams who seem to have had a very good summer end up struggling during the season. i predict man c everton(crossed fingers) and arsenal will massively underwhelm next season probs man u and west ham as well but thats far from unusual.

Would be a big ask for Koeman to finish top 7 4x in a row no? Time will tell i guess I'd say it depends on what us, West Ham and probably Newcastle and Leicester do over the summer. Other than that, I don't see that anyone else is good enough to challenge. Everton were way ahead of us last season, it'd have to be a pretty drastic fall for us/West Ham to over take them if we continue as we finished last year.

SuperSAINT Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 EVERTON AGREE £30m WITH SUNDERLAND FOR PICKFORD Everton have agreed a fee totalling £30m with Sunderland for goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. The Merseysiders had an opening bid knocked back last week, but have come back in with another which relegated Sunderland have accepted. We understand the £30m will include a number of add-ons over the course of a long-term contract. Pickford is currently on international duty in Poland with England U21s and will undergo a medical upon his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 Fair play to Everton, looks like they are going to really go for it, although I suspect they are spending the Lukaku money they are going to get. £30m for Pickford is massively overpriced though, which for me is a good thing as it's only driving the price up for VVD.

Donatello Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 I must've missed something about Pickford. I remember seeing a few of his performances early on in the season and not being overawed, but I guess a lot can change over the course of a season. Regardless, still thought Moyes was taking the pish when he quoted (~)35 million a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 13 June, 2017 Share Posted 13 June, 2017 They might have even have some Barkley money to spend as well. I fully expect them to get Sigurdsson too. They're going for Davy Klassen of Ajax instead, about £26m For Pickford, I would guess the headline figure is £30m, but they'll probably only be paying £10m or so initially. I'd fully expect this to be a hugely installment and caused based deal. £30m over a 6 year contract isn't that bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
