Final Day Transfer Madness

Multiple Colombian journalists report that Falcao is heading to Manchester United for £50m.

 

Arsenal bid £14m for striker Carlos Bacca (any good?)

 

Both Manchester United and Arsenal considering bidding £24m for William Carvalho.

 

 

The way this is going... Manchester United will spend close to £250m and will have pretty much brand new team just in 2014.

Man UTD have just signed Falcao on loan. Great signing, but note it's only a loan. FFP taking a grip? Edit: rumours it'll be £20 million for ONE season. Wow.

Shame Falcao can't help you defend...

 

£6 million with a view to a £40 million permanent deal at the end of the loan.

 

Man Utd will never be hit with FFP, with their current revenue they would need to spend something like £400 million every summer for it to even be an issue, even then they would probably be able to work their way round it.

Man UTD's formation for their next game at this current time:

Meanwhile Javier Hernandes has surprisingly gone to Real Madrid on loan. I can immediately see where he'll fit in:

And finally Defoe rumoured to be talking to Arsenal...oooooh!

So if their revenue is so amazing why are they £600m in debt?

Jermain Defoe has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but our reporter Geraint Hughes claims Arsenal are not interested in the former Tottenham striker

£300 million and its because its healthy for a business to have debt. Pay it back slowly and risk somebody else money.

 

I take it you missed the extra £1 billion in revenue Man Utd will generate over the next 6 years due to new sponsorship deals. 

 

Man Utd are in a league of there own in the Premiership in terms of spending power because of FFP. Barca and Real are the only two that can compete with Man Utd in terms of revenue. Bayern to a lesser extent.

The Glazers have loaded up Man U with over £500m of debt since they took over. Their total debt figure exceeds £700m now. That's over $1billion. That debt is NOT healthy in any way. Even Man U supporters are worried about the level of debt. Not to mention most of their sponsorship deals are cut by 30-40% for not making UCL. They bought Di Maria and Falcao. That's like buying fake tits when you need a heart transplant.

The article you linked states the debt as £350 million. They have misspent £700 million according to that article (which is a ridiculous statement). 

 

The Glazers loaded the club with debt but also made it a superpower. In a perfect world the Glazers leave, the debt is cleared and Man Utd spend what they earn (somewhere in the region of £300 milliion per year). The worlds not perfect though so the Glazers will continue to shave the debt and only spend as required.

 

If Man Utd were concerned with the debt they could use the additional money they will recieve from the new kit deal with Adidas to pay off the debt and still be up a good chunk of change over the last kit deal. That doesn't consider the deal with Chevrolet either.

 

The debt is healthy (would be better if it was 0 but not going to happen in the short term) for a company with Man Utd's revenue.

 

The most irritating part of the debt is the interest. The interest is costing the best part of £60 million every year but with the way British tax works, by having the debt they get certain tax breaks as well.

To add to the actual theme of this thread.

 

Rumours are that Man Utd are still interested in another CM but not sure if by this they mean Blind (LB/LWB that has played DM before) or if it could be a hint at somebody like Vidal (I really hope so - I love Darren Fletcher but he is nowhere near good enough after his illness).

 

What do the Arsenal fans make of Arsene Wenger off in Italy refereeing a charity match on one of the biggest days of the year for a football manager?

Arsenal signing Welbeck it sounds like. What's worse, Arsenal passing on Falcao for Welbeck, or Real Madrid passing on Falcao for Chicharito? Debatable but I gotta go Arsenal because RM already has a legitimate albeit sometimes brain dead #9.

In January of this year their debt was reported between £398m (I think), according to their books, which I'm sure are fairly creative to say the least. It isn't a fabrication that United have spent ridiculous sums of money to trim the debt down by a mere £125m since the Glazers took over. Now they are back to pumping money back into the club in an attempt to restore it to prominence, in lieu of paying down their debt. If they continue to fail to make UCL, it's going to be disastrous for them. £400m of debt becomes a whole lot more.

 

In 2010, the Glazers were trying to receive £500m in bonds to refinance the original £525m debt. That doesn't exactly scream "healthy debt" to me. I think the fact of the matter is, no one is really entirely certain as to their exact level of debt but them. Either way, they are spending money this summer. They better hope they make UCL.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
