Stones off to city for £47.5 million. Was just a matter of time so good fee for the club.

Interesting to see how the lad progresses with pep as his manager.

apologies, 10 goals 14 assists for milner

9 goals 15 assist for pogba

but, 100mil

Transfermarkt has them at Pog 10 goals 16 assists and Milner 7 goals 14 assists. We both know there's more to it than raw stats either way. If anything it shows how criminally underrated Milner is.

100m doesn't really concern me too much. The amount of money UTD will get back in jersey sales from Pog and Zlatan will be ridiculous. Plus with Adidas being UTD's kit sponsor, we just signed two of their top 10 athletes worldwide. That's gotta keep them happy and drive UTD's bargaining power up in future negotiations.


Compare the expenditure from other PL teams in this window to UTD's and I think we've done quite well

UTD: Zlatan, Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Bailly for £149M
City: Gundogan, Nolito, Stones, Sane and Gabriel for £147M

I'd rather UTD's haul than City's for basically the same money value as we've picked up the 3 best players out of those guys. Not sure why they paid so much to bring Gabriel in when they have Aguero and Kelechi already on the team.

In saying that though Liverpool have done ****ing well compared to teams that have spent similar money in the PL

Chelsea: Batshuyai and Kante for £62M
Liverpool: Karius, Matip, Mane, Wijnaldum for £68M

Much better value than Chelsea imo. What's liverpools starting XI going to look like?

GK: De Gea, Pickford
DEF: Moreno, Shaw, Morgan, Amat, Paredes
MID: Feghouli, Coutinho, Eriksen, Mahrez, Coquelin
ATT: Aguero, Kane, Deeney

Defense is a bit ****, but i like my strike force. Couple of those guys should go off a week.

Got a login to the Optus app so luckily can watch a bit of EPL. Hopefully the picture is OK when chromecast to my TV, no doubt it won't be HD like Foxtel though which kind of sucks.
