Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


Playing in four competitions with a midfield composed of Old Man Carrick, Pogba, Herrera and...??? is going to be great.

YESSSSS and I hope this means we are buying no less than two (2) midfielders this summer.

Looks like you forgot about DRE Pereira. Carrick is basically finished also so lol. We need some serious new quality there.

He is a poo poo clogger but I can't dislike him. He strikes me as the type of player Mourinho likes to have around as a troll option so maybe he will stay

He looks almost finished. I hope we don't buy him but it would be a pretty post-SAF United thing to do.

The rumor now is that Neymar is waiting for Monday when he's due a 25m euro "loyalty bonus" from Barcelona. Would be hilarious if he pocketed the loyalty bonus and then went off to Paris

It's not really, players generally waiver the loyalty bonus if the lodge a transfer request. In this instance, it seems PSG have just forced Barca's arm with the offer and they are willing to take the hit.

Isn't that exactly what a loyalty bonus is though? A payment they get if they don't hand in a transfer request. Is there other criteria used to define "loyalty".

I meant to quote another post that said it was stupid to invoke the clause from September 1st

It's stupid for Barcelona to set up the contract so Neymar can earn his loyalty bonus and demand a transfer in the same window. Any sensible club would've made it so he gets his bonus when it is impossible for him to leave.

And any sensible agent would do the opposite I guess. Did he originally sign on 1 September? It might be as simple as an annual thing for each year of his contract.

Edit: nope, June 2013

With the level of dodgy poo poo involved in that transfer having a stupid date for the loyalty payment is pretty low down

Good to see some good old loyalty bonus chat. There used to be a yearly saga about Arsenal paying loyalty bonuses to a player who had just forced their way out of the club.

£40m or even £50m for a limited DM, a 29 year old who has declined already according to Chelsea fans, a player who they have already replaced and no longer need? Ftw. Can hardly contain my excitement at this transfer. :D

I'm glad Matic finally went to Man United, as it means Juve won't pay €40m for him (or whatever the fee ended up to be)

Spurs later brought on a fullback called Kyle Walker-Peters, it was very confusing

It's not quite Collins John/John Collins or Moussa Dembele/Moussa Dembele confusing though
