True. They were using that as excuse to chuck people on the scrapheap. They're being cute, spreading the cost of the payments over the whole of the contract. Also  Rashfords salary about 325k a week is paid by Barca and they have millions from sell on clauses coming in. 

 

I think it’s more to do with if they don’t get champions league football again for a few years they are fucked financially, is this a rash attempt to get back into the top 4 if so it’s either extremely brave or stupidity at its highest

I think that’s exactly what this is. Monster outlay in a desperate attempt to get UCL football. Because they’re fucked if they allow the current top 4 to run away from them and lock them out like it looked as though they would thus far in the window.

With their debt situation they NEED to be in the UCL going forward or they’re screwed. 

Baleba + Donnarumma to add to Cunha, Mbeumo, and Šeško would surely be £300m+ window. All players I rate other than Šeško.

Thats their aim  - Stats was asking how they are able to do it. Answer is creative accounting mainly the stretching of payments over the whole contract.

I think it’s throw money we don’t have at it and hope by the end of the year we have it 😂

Man Utd contact Brighton via intermediaries to explore conditions of deal for Carlos Baleba. BHAFC do not plan to sell this summer & all sides aware move may be unrealistic. But MUFC keen + should know in coming days if plausible or not.

(David Ornstein & Fabrizio Romano)

Surprised it's taken this long for someone's interest in him to be made public. Brighton recruit so well.

Make no mistake this is massive for them. They've been in the shadow of their noisy neighbours for years now. Growing up in London they were the top club - half the kids supported London clubs the other half Man Utd. Talk to any Utd fan now and theyre still royally fucked off - mainly because of the parasitic Glazers who borrowed hundreds of millions against the club, quietly syphoning millions into their personal accounts, and saddling the club with the debt - FC United and all that. So fast forward Radcliff has used creative accounting and chucked money about like theres no tomorrow to win over the fans -(even though he said the club could be bankrupt by Chtristmas)

So basically Man U is the Nazis and this transfer window is their Battle of the Bulge.

Fuck the Mancs, they're shite

[CucurellatheCat 7]

Brighton want £100M odd for him apparently

 

The tea ladies are tooling up over this kind of spending lol

They probably saved like £10m max doing that then spend like £200-£300M lol

They’re shite now. They won’t be if they address their biggest weaknesses in midfield and in net. 

No European football and being able to focus solely on the PL will be a big advantage for them.

Unfortunately they will most likely price him out of a move, no way Newcastle is so stupid to go 80m.

I could maybe see us accepting them giving us a big chunk this summer and another installment next summer. But you’re almost certainly correct that if we demand it all at once there’s no chance Newcastle pay £80m.

Jackson scored 3 less goals in the premier league than this sesko fella did in the farmers league yet that muppet is worth 80? And ours isn’t 😂

He should absolutely go for that same sort of money. But can we get someone to pay it is the tricky bit.

Guess it depends on how desperate Newcastle is. Very desperate we should hope!
