They’ll end up spending £55m on Lewis dunk 

I can actually see this happening on the last hour of the transfer window.

I too thought he was insightful and well written too at the time.

Now I question his Alan Sheehan obsession

[RowlattsFox]

We'll probably accept 80m depending on how it is structured.

Fits the budget and ole Gunnar Shakespeare’s weird obsession with British players.

We want a record fee for a defender don’t we? So I can’t imagine it would be any less than £75m upfront with add ons at least

Only way I'd personally accept this now, after all this time faffing about would be no addons, deals or clauses. Straight up 80 million lump to the bank.

Given Top‘s Chinese roots, this may not be a clever tactic by Woody.  If Top and the Club really are looking for 90m, you would think nothing will happen now.

 

Of course this 90m figure may be bollocks?  80m - all up front - is tempting

Same here.

If the total we want is met sell, if they are a penny short tell them to go forth and multiply.

He's Thai Chinese. So his ethics origins are Chinese and not indigenous Thai. 

[RonnieTodger]

10 years ago everyone loved Transfer Deadline Day, but genuine ITKs on social media has made Sky Sports News a secondary source and they hate it. 

Before you could follow John Percy, you'd rely on SSN but they've become a joke. They have about 3 daily dedicated half-hour shows to talk shit about transfer rumours that they've made up. 

 

The way that Kaveh Solhekol and Darmesh wank over potential fees and record deals is absolutely pathetic. If Harry Maguire farts, they'll report on it and how it could lead to him moving to United. They pretend to know what's going on and drag out every saga. 

 

£80M for Harry Maguire is ridiculous money and whilst we should take it (unless they offer £90M), I almost hope he stays to rub it in their faces.

[Wymsey]

If he goes for the obscene amount quoted, can trust LCFC to spend it wisely - as believe the club has learnt how to be more savvy in the transfer market after their mistakes over Silva, Slimani, Musa and now very possibly Iheanacho.

Thanks My friend. Working in Malaysia (as I do) -35% of the population are Chinese-Malay. Much the same all over SE including Thailand.

Well in that case Manu are negotiating like the UK Government. They think they hold all the cards but in fact hold none.

Yeah, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore have generations of Chinese immigrants that have settled over the centuries.

Getting so bored with the whole thing, I hope we except 80m and he goes. 

It's really dragging on for to long, and won't benefit us if he stays here 

[waylander]

Someone should ask trump and Boris what they think ?. As the global giant are  being refused a chance to grow in this global market . Clearly we are restricting Manchester United’s brand .

The company that owns Sky Bet may have clearly taken the decision to pay the Sky Sports presenters to front their ad because they know people will associate them with the Sky name, but that does not mean that the two companies have any affiliation beyond Sky's 2.6% stake in The Stars Group. The vast majority of the Stars Group's revenues come from its ownership of various online poker sites, including Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker. Its revenue stream from sports betting is tiny in comparison. Any transfer story broadcast on Sky Sports is not going to move the needle at all on The Stars Group's share price - it will have literally zero impact. So the idea that Sky Sports runs stories in an attempt to move the share price of a company it owns a tiny stake in and whose revenues from sports betting are very small anyway is frankly ludicrous.

 

Yes, I know. My point was a broader point about Sky Sports, Sky Bet and The Stars Group as a whole. Others may have been discussing the merits of them championing the story to get people to use Sky Bet, but that wasn't what I was getting at.

Sky sports and social media can sod off tbh, bring back Ceefax and Teletext. Thats where all the true deals were at.
