brummybloke Posted Sunday at 12:48 Share Posted Sunday at 12:48 Look at it this way. Uni improved his value by 30 million as he was fast becoming a 15 to 20 million player before uni rescued him. 50 in means we can quickly improve our whole team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad we didn’t get McKennie. Long term it could turn out a fantastic deal. Really think we will struggle for the first part of this season unless we get a fantastic player in who settles from day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted Sunday at 12:49 Share Posted Sunday at 12:49 Leaves as a bit of a fan favourite and will be welcomed back when we draw them in the semi’s of the CL next year. Good player, good pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted Sunday at 12:50 Share Posted Sunday at 12:50 3 minutes ago, sne said: Because I really rate Luiz and the return is unproven at best atm. The money also feels low considering what inferior players have moved for. Fully understand there are other factors involved thou. I rate him too but £42m plus two exciting young prospects can hardly be called an awful deal at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted Sunday at 12:51 VT Supporter Share Posted Sunday at 12:51 He was part of the team of project reset from PL. Ups and downs but for me personally he's been mainly up. All the best Dougie, would be nice if we get Juve at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money also feels low considering what inferior players have moved for. Fully understand there are other factors involved thou. There are many reasons that the fee is low and they have been discussed at length, in this thread and the transfer window thread. It's a good deal for the club all around. The incoming players will reach their potential under UE and neither of them are direct replacements for DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Unai approves it. They work together very close. But the managers isn't above the DoF. That's the old English system that Ferguson and the likes had. The European model that everyone uses this day is not like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted Sunday at 12:51 Share Posted Sunday at 12:51 Expect we also have a nice sell on % fee - good luck Dougie but we move forwards and we should never be afraid to sell a player if we think it benefits us … 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted Sunday at 12:52 Share Posted Sunday at 12:52 Fifty million for him is very good bearing in mind he only had two years left on his contract Iling Jr is someone we've been tracking for a long time and someone we asked to be involved, he's a very good prospect, maybe better than some realize, I watch him for England youth teams and he's one of the standouts, bearing in mind he's playing alongside others that are also playing a the top level and for top clubs Enzo I don't know about but has seemingly just had a good season in Serie A and Juventus were intending to keep him as a squad option Also this deal shouldn't be judged in isolation, we haven't replaced Luiz within this transaction, we've used it to strenghten other areas of the squad, the replacement for Luiz will be done seperately 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted Sunday at 12:52 Share Posted Sunday at 12:52 9 minutes ago, sne said: Absolutely awful deal until proven otherwise. Could still happen of course. Uphill battle now to fix the midfield until Kamara comes back. Stunning bit of work by Juve thou. Agreed. This deal undoubtedly starts as awful and can improve from there. It doesn't start as neutral because we've just sold a Champions League level player for barely much more than others are getting for their Omari Kellymans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be a very busy window… we will boost the quality of both the team and squad… no need to worry at this point. We’ve got to see what happens and reserve judgement until the window has closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
