Won't see that this season. The 3 big spenders from the summer will blow away almost all the bottom half - if Ronaldo had already signed for United when we played them, they'd have won 4/5-1. Why not? Money guarantees very little if all the super stars in the world do not gel as a team. Where are the super stars at Wolves, Leeds & Everton yet their systems ensure they punch well above their weight. Arsenal are packed with super stars aren't they? Ronaldo is a show pony with a very big ego. Trying to manage him will be a nightmare, will cost Solskjaer his job and ManUre any sense of cohesion and harmony. They will fall short yet again.

Obviously they've held a long standing interest in him after Swansea's shitshow back in 2019. But that is just too much money. Sometimes, when you see fees like that being batted around on bog standard average players, you kind of appreciate our approach. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid apparently willing to pay like £140 million for a player with a year left on his deal, PSG apparently not willing to accept it. Willian has just terminated a two year contract on £225k a week to go back to Brazil, I mean fair play I suppose turning down like £20 million basically. Leeds wanting to pay £30 million for a guy who had what one good season in the Championship? and then has basically sat on Utds bench for 2 years. Valencia releasing a wonderkid Korean player apparently just to free up a non-EU spot in their squad for a new signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Willian, terminating a contract normally means the club pays it off in full upfront to get rid of you, it's unlikely Willian left without earning a hefty chunk. Must have been dreadful for the dressing room for Arsenal not to have just held onto him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this would be the year there was a little bit of leveling out, not as much movement - clubs proclaiming massive losses due to no fans etc. Yet, somehow...we've had the most expensive ever British transfer, closely followed by the 2nd most expensive British transfer ever, Ronaldo rejoining Man Utd and being paid more than anyoen else in the league. Then almost unheard of under the Gold/Sullivan era....West Ham spending just under £60m without selling. All very odd. Everton have behaved like I'd have expected a lot of clubs to behave.

He's having a medical at the mo, guaranteed fee is more around £25m apparently with the rest in add-ons. Sheer lunacy. £15m is the absolute max I'd pay for him, and that would be including add-ons. Leeds fans are of the same belief, they're all a bit gobsmacked that they've turned down Internationals such as Rodrigo De Paul as £20m was too much - yet they're about to splash £30m on this load of averagness.

Certainly a lot of money for a bunch of overpaid underperforming players has been wasted. That said I'd prefer Townsend here rather than Theo, he's almost certainly cheaper as well.
