Roberto Soldado

Wait wait wait. Wasn't it you and Brainclipse that kept saying we couldn't do this and there's no way we would be able to spend the money i thought (30m plus net). I'm sure you and him predicted 20m and said i was being unrealistic? now we're able top spend 50m net?


from memory - i said we don't have 50m laying around waiting to be spent, im pretty sure i have stated the above opinion before in these threads - in fact i know somewhere i have said pretty much exactly that - with the added opinion that commoli's last couple of windows and harry's first was the last time we spent big and we're probably waiting to pay off the last of those deals before being able to spend big again. feel free to go back and prove me wrong though ;)
 
Can't see this happening, is everyone getting excited because of that picture that could have been taken anywhere?
 
FFS. I'll send £5 of my own money to Levy to help towards the transfer. Just get it done.

Copied from SC:

"Ok, so they are at the Hilton with Baldini, negotiating since 8pm (7 gmt), and Valencia are happy to let him go for 30m.

The deal they will accept is 15m now, as long as the other 15m is paid within 2 years.

Valencia are also keen to get someone to replace him who can score 30 goals a season.

Edited to add - this is according to Cadena SER radio station's update."

How could anybody know this who wasn't sitting at negotiation table.
 
We spent these ammounts before on players like Bentley or Bent who are now in the reserve.

Soldado is proven and will score the goals.

Rather spend 20m on proven rather than 10m on average.

I'm not debating about Soldado but (i) we didnt spend those amount on Bent or Bentley and (ii) as I said before, we dont have the money the moneu Man U do comparing signing him to ManU signing RvP is just daft

I can't because i don't remember the thread but i'm 99% that 50m figure wasn't even mentioned at the time. I stated we could spend 30m net plus and it was more Levy not wanting to do so which you and Brainclipse jumped at the post saying we're not able to do so, that i was being unrealistic and the evidence of the last financial report published by us was proof of this (spursalot i remember too because he asked if i had a clue about accounting lol). That was definitely how that debate went.
 
We could give them Ade plus say 15m - they will get their 'goalscorer' plus £15m and we get ours.
