Jimothy Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Beckham was sold by Man Utd to Madrid So when they sell they sell well too
Fox92 Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Basically if Man Utd are going to spend a lot it's generally worth it. If Liverpool are it generally isn't. A few expensive signings didn't work out for Ferguson. Look at Veron, £28million.
Jimothy Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 A few expensive signings didn't work out for Ferguson. Look at Veron, £28million. Of course. It was more said in jest really. I think Ferguson's record in the transfer marker was quite sketchy. Veron, Kleberson, Djemba Djemba, Tiabi, the French defender who's name escapes me, Anderson. There's a lot of good, but a fair share of bad to, and a lot of money wasted.

Oh yeah I knew you were No worries I wasn't pointing out the obvious. What I meant was I think Veron is one of the more expensive signings that didn't work out. I know Forlan didn't work out for Manchester United but I think he only cost about £6million.

To be fair there's always going to be a few dodgy ones over a 26 year period.
Super_horns Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Looks like Dyer is off..no real surprise. Having to get some loan players in it seems (is it only 2 per squad in the Premier league?) http://www.wdsport.co.uk/2015/07/exclusive-lloyd-dyer-told-he-can-leave-watford-fc/
The Horse's Mouth Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Fergie had a pretty torrid record near the end, apart from obvious ones like Van Persie
Jimothy Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 To be fair there's always going to be a few dodgy ones over a 26 year period. There's dodgy and there's dodgy though. See below for the most ridiculous. Could Newcastle, or Leicester or Stoke go and spunk £7m on someone like Bebe without serious consequences for the manager? Fergie was a great manager, but the job is made slightly easier when you can make 7 or 8 £6m-£10m signings of players who will never see first team action. Suppose you could say he earned that luxury though. He's not the only one anyway. Jose spent £16m on a left back last summer that he hardly used and has just sold back to where he got him from. It's one thing spending money, but throwing it around for no reason it's what's spoiling football. I'd rather we signed Sterling for £49m and play him, than Felipe Luis for £16m and not. Bebe for £7m

EnderbyFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Norwich sign Andre Wisdom on loan. Looked shit whenever I've seen him play
Jimothy Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 On the over £25m English players, the BBC have given the answer and not included Beckham as they have him as £24.5m.
EnderbyFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Stoke now have 4 Champions League winners in their squad, more than Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool
EnderbyFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 In other news, Watfords new signings are raring to go
ScouseFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Stoke now have 4 Champions League winners in their squad, more than Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool who are the four? bojan, afellay, guessing muniesa counts for being on the bench for a game or something stupid, struggling after that?
Corky Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 who are the four? bojan, afellay, guessing muniesa counts for being on the bench for a game or something stupid, struggling after that? Arnautovic at Inter Milan?
Guest ttfn Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 who are the four? bojan, afellay, guessing muniesa counts for being on the bench for a game or something stupid, struggling after that? Crouchy deserves a champions league medal
EnderbyFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 who are the four? bojan, afellay, guessing muniesa counts for being on the bench for a game or something stupid, struggling after that? Marko Arnautovic with Inter in 2010, he even has it on his boots
Guest ttfn Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Marko Arnautovic with Inter in 2010, he even has it on his boots Made 0 appearances in the CL according to Wikipedia
ScouseFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 oh come the **** off it i've just googled it and between muniesa and arnautovic they have 0 champions league appearances and 2 winners medals. legit?
EnderbyFox Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 A stupid rule but you only need to be in the squad to get a medal Vermealen got one for Barca last season
Jimothy Posted 28 July 2015 Posted 28 July 2015 Arphexad has a stupid amount of medals without playing many games whilst at Leicester and Liverpool. FA cup, league cup, uefa cup, charity shield, super cup.
