Iâve followed him for a while and he doesnât seem to be the type for pretending to be in the know on stuff.
I imagine heâs just speculating like the rest of us and heâs at least got the decency to say he doesnât know rather than pretending to know something he doesnât.
Iâve also seen some speculation that this could somehow be linked to external investment and that itâs that that may have facilitated us to pay the fee up front but then pay that off in installments. No idea of the logistics or legality of that but I donât think many of us anticipated us fronting up a âŹ70m fee in one payment.

I just donât see why it was mentioned though.
Maybe just maybe the entire team realised that he was a decent amount for a young player who is already one of Europes leading talents.
The club will spend when it thinks itâs the right time, Diaz and Nunez are both examples of deals that pushed them. I do think itâs within the limit of what we will spend.
They will also feel Carvalho might fund some of it in the future perhaps. Kind of explains why we were holding back, I had my views that if we wanted a deal on Thuram, Kone or any of the other lads we could have done it before the U21 tournament.
Also might suggest the club isnât as scraping as it is sometimes suggested.

âI feel like they went for him because Mount had his heart set on Unitedâ.

Tbh quite a few utd fans are saying this is a good bit of businessâŚusual dicks on there saying not good enough etc and then admitting to never seeing him or quoting FM as a source of how good he was

Yes, lots of clubs use third party to pay for players - didnt we do something similar when selling Coutinho to get the bulk of the cash upfront?
Iâm curious why we wouldnt be using regular banking facilities to fund it, what advantages are there with 3rd parties?

4 national team captains playing with Jordan (who for some reason isnât considered the England captain) and Trent - the future Liverpool captain.
Leadership in all areas of the pitch.
