That and Arsenal did spend £50m on a defender from Bologna this summer. Clearly if they wanted Vik enough they’d have got him.Pretty much all of Man Utd's biggest signings have been duds.
Antony is by far the worst though. Mount for £60m is another.
And people on here lose their shit when the likes of Hilssner and Dacosta flop

They wanted to do a deal that wasn't there to be done so they might as well get nobody?Sesko was their main target and his release clause was set at £55m prior to him signing a new deal. Doesn't really make much sense for Arsenal to then splurge potentially an extra £25m on a striker who's quite a bit older and playing in a much poorer league.
Does feel like City were waiting for the pay on clause cash before spending
No it doesn’t. We’ve been in for loads of players.
Getting deals in place and concluding them are different things. Often clubs say a player needs to go out before they can complete an incoming transfer as they need the funds.No it doesn’t. We’ve been in for loads of players.

I recall him making statements that were pretty clear about the Premiership in his last year with us, so not massively surprised if that quote is accurate - he's always shown himself to be incredibly ambitious and Sporting know they really are a stepping stone for the elite talents... remains to be seen who will pay the $$$ to take him into that elite.
This feels like PR from his management, honestly! Very shrewd.

Sporting President says Vik is happy there. It doesn't sound that way if his comments in post 359 above were accurately reported.
It seems he is stuck on a long contract with what he thinks is an unrealistic release clause.
Didn't he moan about our valuation of £20M before he moved?
I don't recall him moaning about it. He was asked about it I think and basically gave his opinion which is fair enough I guess.Well he signed the contract with us and with Sporting, so what is he moaning about? In reality he probably isn't moaning at all.
That is why I finished with "in reality he probably isn't moaning at all?"I don't recall him moaning about it. He was asked about it I think and basically gave his opinion which is fair enough I guess.
I think if he performs well in the 2 CL games against English clubs he will be on for a big money move in Jan
No that rule doesn’t exist in the Champions League anymoreWouldn't he be cup tied? Maybe a downside for a potential Jan transfer.
Again seems to being pushed by the top transfer guys on twitter...
I was agreeing with you.That is why I finished with "in reality he probably isn't moaning at all?"
Why do people react before they have read the whole statement
Benfica play in Lisbon.“Nunez, of course, also arrived at Anfield from Lisbon.”
I’m not sure any reputable journalist has ever picked this story up tbh.
Cause he has, Fab was begging us to sell him when he joined Sporting. He was days away from camping outside RytonFabrizio reporting on his movements every other day... Sounds like his agent has slipped him a few quid...
Benfica play in Lisbon.
Benfica play in Lisbon.
Everton were formed or picked up by the landlord of Liverpool's weren't they to facilitate continuing in his stadium,bit like us?Oh and Did you Know Everton Play in Liverpool.
I will definitely have some of those mushrooms your takin 100%That Vik return after he's had his big contract playing for one of Europe's elite on a free aged 34 to help us out for a season in the prem, notching 17 goals, before a move out to Saudi is gonna be magical
