The chinese government have changed the rules there so that any club that doesn't turn a profit has to also pay 100% of the transfer fee towards local party members so they might not be spending massive money on players any more

Suso never showed anything for Liverpool that indicated he was more than a journeyman player, he seemed to be one of those dime-a-dozen La Masia kids that were around a few years ago. But to be fair he was only 18 or so when he was playing, if he's playing regularly for Milan now I'm glad.

Suso is good on a team full of crap because he's individually skilled. If Milan actually sign some good players we'll find out if he's actually as good as his numbers make him out to be.

Deulofeu is exactly the same in my opinion. Speaking of, he's supposedly going back to Barcelona.

the great thing about Silva going to Man City is that 40M euro or whatever figure is probably massively understated

Never forget that Monaco got Van Gaal to spend all the money on Martial

The people who broke the story on twitter said it was 70m Euro. Which is much more believable and a pretty fair price for an excellent player.

Yeah that sounds more accurate. Silva is really good, too, although I do wonder why they didn't spend that money on full-backs.

Because they will spend near that kind of money (the £43m reported) on full backs as well? City have All The Money.

There are some truly mouth watering transfer stories surrounding treble winners Manchester United :D

Burnley CB Michael Keane, who was sold by Van Gaal for £2m during summer 2015, could return after one decent season for a bad team for £25m. :waycool:

Utd have reportedly bid €35m for Inter's Ivan Perisic, a 28 year old winger described by some as a left footed Valencia, but Inter are holding out for €60m. :fap:

United have fuckall for cover in center midfield since they sold Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger so that's not the worst thing in the world.
