I'm having a really hard time understanding how Rojo is worth 20M+Nani, Mangala is worth 40M and Garay, who is head and shoulders above both, is worth... 6M. Even if he only had 6 months on the contract, competition to buy him should have driven prices up.


Except Garay is not head and shoulders above anyone of those. That should help you understand better.

He is a great player, was one of the best centre backs in our league and was one of Benfica's best players. But it stops there....being head and shoulders above Mangala (or even Rojo for that matter) is just bullshit.

EDIT: Besides he had 1year left on his contract not 6months. 6months until teams are allowed to start contract talks for a free transfer in June/July 2015 when his contract actually ended. It did not end in January.

EDIT 2: About Clasie, newspapers are now claiming the club asked for €3M more for the transfer and things got a little colder.


Understandable from both sides. Porto don't feel he's worth that much more and honestly Feyenoord can't sell him for anything less because without Clasie Immers is our captain IMMERS. Pathetic really

Manchester United still needs world class winger, midfielder and RB? (idk Rafael's situation)

How will they do that? With 2-3 world class siginigs they are unlikely to meet FFP requirements even if they qualify to CL.

I think they can still use like 80-90 million pounds. Manchester United's revenue is the biggest along with RM.

In last 3 years they've spent 40mil more than RM but unlike Real without selling anyone worth noting. On top of that their defence will have at least one of Jones, Smalling or Evans, and thats closer to Chmapionship than Champions League level.

Bit unfair saying last 3 years, seeing as real Madrid have only just started to spend big after the 2010/2009 fallout when they bought:
Kaka £56,000,000
Cristiano Ronaldo £80,000,000
Karim Benzema £25,000,000
Alvaro Arbeloa £3,500,000
Xabi Alonso £30,000,000
Angel Di Maria £30,000,000

and then went quiet for a bit. That's 280 MILLION euros for the Europeans, in one season!.

For sure he is better than Smalling and Evans, he is still quite young so he can develop to be good enough for a team that wants to challenge Premier League and Champions League, but imo he is still a quite far from that.

I think Jones has not developed nearly as quickly as what was expected of him. He's great at making runs forward but his positioning is awful sometimes. Utd will have to buy a top class CB because none of the players who were supposed to fill Vidic and Ferdinand's roles are good enough to do that.

Thomas Muller admits to turning down "big" offers in the Summer for his services
The amount that foreign clubs were offering me was astronomical. But Bayern are my club, a change was not an issue for me.

Ajax have pulled ahead of Liverpool in the betting on the next club of Samuel Eto'o, with the Dutch giants now rated 11/4 favourites, pushing Liverpool back out to 3/1. Everton, QPR and Tottenham are all given a 6/1 chance.

Yeah. Of all the corruption and bad dealings in the football world, they crack down on a great institute like La Masia. It's ridiculous.

Errr... that isn't the exact right mindset. ^^
The right mindset should be more like "why dont they punish all the shady dealings in the world, not just la masia"

Your mindset sounds like they should ignore la masia's dealings because its a good institute

After extending the deadline where he would give his answer for like 3-4 times, Marc Overmars has given the management of Eto'o a deadline until 18:00 this afternoon to decide. It's now 18:40. Considering there's no news out yet, I doubt it's going to happen.

Yeah but my idea of La Masia is that it's a great institute where they give youngsters a chance to develop their skills in a great environment while getting good schooling while their families are taken care of. They're just cracking down on them for technicalities. Just some smuck in UEFA who wants to make a career move. I don't find La Masia shady at all.
