On a related note, I presume the £5m fee is Mendes's doing?

Weird blast to the past to my Dad playing this and me thinking the the chorus was something like Tony Taraker until just

P.S maybe something with Rudoph the red nose reindeer..

Your dad played you that song?

Christ I feel old

A bargain for a Spanish international who should have a few years left in him. Not quite Moutinho levels of a bargain but not far off.
Delighted if this one gets over the line.

Its a bit Moutinho value isn't it?

 

[sycophantia]

5m seems a good price these days, getting on a bit and not involved that much in his current team, great experience for us, similarly Lembina.
Just need to get young Gomes over the line and an experienced CB and it's been an exceptional window. If we get more than that like a RB and a striker, I'll spontaneously combust.

 

[Derby Wolf]

It's about rhe going rate I think.

United only paid £6m for Schweinsteiger
(sp) a few years back and he was at a similar stage of his career as Joao in 2018 and Sarabia now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

To be fair not be involved because you are stuck behind Messi is sort of understandable.

 

[Alan]

Wrong side of 30 but yeah, 5m is much lower than I was anticipating.

 

[sycophantia]

When I said good price, I probably meant fair price, think he's a good addition for us at this point.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think its one of those deals where all parties are delighted. Good sign.

 

[Jinky]

Crazy price. I’m actually… happy… with our transfer business. Time for a sit down!

Weird blast to the past to my Dad playing this

eeerrrrrrrr Son?...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Surely fucking not! What next, Fire and Brimstone coming down from the skies, Rivers and Seas Boiling, Cats and Dogs living together, mass hysteria!

 

[Alan]

eeerrrrrrrr Son?...

Your parenting skills need work, clearly

 

[The Bear]

Cunha + Sarabia = €55m

Sounds about right when you put them together. Mendes ay it?!!!!

The 3 apps trigger sounds like a way to make sure it's permanent deal but delay the actual payment until the summer.

 

[Paul]

Surely fucking not! What next, Fire and Brimstone coming down from the skies, Rivers and Seas Boiling, Cats and Dogs living together, mass hysteria!

I was going to do this one, you sod

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I’m glad you recognised it! One of the great quotes

 

[sycophantia]
