At least we're getting rid of the crap.
In the Fergie era, he stacked up on a lot of shit players, although tbf to Fergie, he's delivered results on a much smaller budget.
Even Moyes retained the dross.
In a year of having LVG here, we've got rid of Cleverley, Nani, Fletcher, Welbeck, Hernandez, Henriques, Zaha, Kagawa, Buttner, Bebe, Anderson, Macheda, Powell etc.
Yeah RVP, Rio and Vidic were great players but they were let go at the right time.
Van Gaal must be spending a lot on players but he's sure saving up a lot on wages.
I remember Fergie once saying that the average players are the ones who're overpaid, not the good ones and that he's strugged to beat that system.
iirc this was mentioned when Wes Brown had issues with his pay and Fergie told him to fuck off. Wes stayed though.
Overall, perhaps LVG is operating on a tighter budget, by looking at the first teamers he's got rid of

There will no doubt be clauses, but you can't blame the Turks for wanting him cheap considering his injury record... any club would be foolish to spend more than £5mill on Van Persie now... if he plays a lot and scores a lot, then I bet we get more for him...Sid wrote:It's still a total piss take of a fee, for a top striker in Van Persie who still has shitloads to offer
For all the praise Gill and Woodwood get for bringing in these big names, they don't have just fucking bend over when we sell someone, Ronnie being the only exception
If our financss ever go tits up you have to look at this as one of the reasons

From BBC Sportsday Live:
That to be suggests that negotiations are at a very early stage, in contrast to various other reports that seemed to suggest it was practically a done deal. It seems inevitable that it's gonna happen now, but I don't think it'll be as quick as some suggested.Want big football transfer news? Here you go....
Turkish club Fenerbahce say they have begun talks with Dutch forward Robin van Persie and his club Manchester United over the 31-year-old's transfer.

Rumour from Spain is we bid £100mill for Bale which was turned down... we've accepted £28mill for De Gea... and will bid £60mill for Ramos...bman2 wrote:Falcao, Persie, Nani, that's a decent wad of cash on wages saved. Evans and Rafael are probably on pretty decent money too since they've been with us a while. I you think that we were willing to pay De Gea on the order of 200k a week, in terms of the club's wage structure, we can very easily afford to pay the wages of a superstar or even two of them.Davey-boy wrote:Yeah but £200k pw off the wages bill.....ready for the superstar signing we are definitely about to make....aren't we?
Fuck sake... I hope none of that is true!

I think we must have a striker already lined up if we're getting rid of RVP so quickly...
It's a bit like when we flogged Welbeck just before announcing Falcao...
I hope it's Muller, but wouldnt be surprised if someone like Benzema

£60M for Ramos sounds just totally insane, no way can that be true. Ramos plus another player, maybe.Alfonso Bedoya wrote:Rumour from Spain is we bid £100mill for Bale which was turned down... we've accepted £28mill for De Gea... and will bid £60mill for Ramos...bman2 wrote:Falcao, Persie, Nani, that's a decent wad of cash on wages saved.

Really? From a club that paid £27.5 for Fellaini? Our transfer policy stinks. And by the way,if we do get Ramos for £60 million all the politicking by Woodworm will show what a total no-mark he is in the world of football. Madrid win again. We must be stupid to pay that for a 29 year old.bman2 wrote:£60M for Ramos sounds just totally insane, no way can that be true. Ramos plus another player, maybe.
Once we had put that £100 million bid for Bale that was the end of any really big signings. It will be 'we did try' again or we'll end up with another Di Maria who won't fit into the 'philosophy' but will cost a great deal.
