Ibrahim Afellay joins Olympiakos on loan

A few years ago, I thought he was the next big thing in world football

Wasn't it injury more than Barcelona that fucked him up?

Took long enough. Lot of people think he's vastly overrated but I think he'll become an excellent player and signing for City.

Ridiculously overpriced though. Porto just announced to the stock exchange to have received €30.5m for 56.7% of Mangala's rights so in total City paid around €54m for Mangala.

That equals almost 43 million pounds.

Fuck me! Didn't know it was that much. I thought it was the £32m that was rumored. Even that is way overpriced.

£43m...Christ.

Porto = €30.5m

Doyen Sports = €17.8m

Standard de Liege = €5.4m

That's €53.7m (£43m) for Mangala. wow

And they said Luiz's price tag was too much. LOL!

Sunderland reject 5 million bid from West Ham for Wickham

Maybe we should put in a bid for him? He's HG, 21, has the ability to play CF and out wide...

I'd rather just give our own Bamford a shot and further develop him (also Solanke is promising as well). Wickham is a different type of striker than Bamford tho, and offers something different, if that's what you were thinking.

Yeh, I was thinking about Wickham because he offers something different to Bamford..and the added benefit is that he's homegrown.

Absolutely agree about Solanke, kid looks promising, hopefully Jose has plans for him in the coming years

I'm not worried about United at all. Rooney has been horrible of late, as has Van Persie, who is also turning 32 and getting on a bit. Those two are no comparison to Suarez and Sturridge last year. Plus Liverpool had Gerrard bossing the midfield with Sterling, Henderson and Coutinho running riot. They had a formidable attack with the occasional defender in Skrtel floating forward and netting a few. United are still at least two elite players from competiting for the title.

Please. Liverpool's attack were undoubtedly good last season and almost won them the title. It's fine to acknowledge that. My comment is merely highlighting the fact United won't be title competitors this season as they have half the attack Liverpool had, who even fell short themselves.
