The loss is far less if you discount the exchange rates and also the fact that 59 million included add ons based on Champion league's perfomance. Nevertheless 59 million was outright extortion by real notwithstanding our dire circumstances then. Pedro will be a valuable addition. No flair but can produce 12 goals a season. He has the right work rate,is well versed at pressing games and that winning mentality.Rafael rushed tackles, his injury records and vertical disadvantage were his major undoing. And at his age, he needs consistent playtime which could not be guaranteed with the arrival of Darmian. VG still needs to prioritize on CM. It's scary enough to imagine Blind is being drafted for the role and even more worse Jones and Evans are still around!

Every Utd fan is crossing his fingers that LvG does not think that the centre back pairings he has will enable him mount a title challenge when it was De Gea who actually salvaged most of the points that took us back to the CL, small matter of actually qualifying for it notwithstanding...

Smalling and Rojo can be decent, but Utd need a leader at the back, proven. Jones and Blind are not it. Evans should have already been shipped off along with other people surplus to requirements. Stones will come at a hefty price and may not be worth it, most English players aren't...

Last Sunday's humiliation might trigger some positive transfer response. Arsenal now linked with Grzegorz Krychowiak; who has a name so hard to spell and even harder to pronounce.

Don't bite your tongue trying to pronounce Polish names even though in just about all cases, they do not sound like how they look. Example is Grzegorz, simply pronounced as je-go-sh, Polish for Gregory

Chelsea to sign Pedro from Barcelona, poleni Man Utd fans!
