If Joelinton continues the way he did last season under the coaching of Nagelsmann he could indeed turn out to be an excellent signing. But I think it is telling that on one hand there are lot of people not getting excited by a new record signing (which didn’t even make it to the tv news last night if I am right) but on the other hand there are people getting excited seemingly ignoring the shambolic actions of the last two months (never mind the last 12 years). Yeah judging by twitter there seems to be a swing of reactions from the way it's been received on here, to excitement that isn't warranted on the players form so far and that I certainly can't get to because of what has happened in the last few months. Seems to be a lack of balance from both sides. I suppose I can understand both reaction because of what's happened during Ashley's reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my main grief, the ability to split the fan base by acting like cunts. The moment they get into trouble they just do the necessary to get enough people on their side to let any serious protest fade out. United my arse.

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 There's still something iffy about this deal like. Mitro, Widjnaldum, Thauvin, Cabella, Almiron, Shelvey, Murphy, Townsend, Richie all cost £12-16mil. That always been our glass ceiling under Ashley, irrespective of how much TV money comes in Then with absolutely no desire/pressure from the manager, he agrees to spunk £40 mil on a player in February that is probably worth half that? Given we missed out on the likes of Pepe, Lacazette, Modric, Aubameyang etc. by arguing over adding £1-2mil to the fee, this reeks of kickbacks from an agent or similar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30533 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 £38m or £40m appears to have been the fee leaked to the press. There’s no guarantee that was actually the price paid, we could have gotten him for £20m but we won’t know until the accounts are released and that’ll probably be March 2021.
