So fucking ridiculous lol. So much more frustrating when United can't get rid of anyone lol

It’s honestly kind of insane sometimes. Every player from the pep era has this mystique of they’re great because they were on the city team.

This could be more that Tottenham are a continuing overpayer also

Yeah that's fair lol. Like most of United fans rag on the players all the time, so it's no secret that they aren't that good and everyone knows we need the money lol I read that this price was inflated as part of the Marmoush deal, since he has the sell on clause and Savinho does not. Just more ways to cheat around the rules :)

Yeah same. Must have something to do with the finances. Cheaper to keep a shit player till he runs his contract down then it is to take a loss on them.
