Transfer Balls: Manchester United spend ‘Unlimited budget’ on Bale, Thiago and Bayern Munich stars
TRANSFER balls: A look at Manchester United in the news:
The Sun says “DAVID MOYES has been told he can spend as much as he likes“. His budget at Manchester united is “unlimited“.
Yeah, really.
The new Manchester United boss has targeted both Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo — even though they would cost over £75million EACH.
If the budget’s unlimited why stop at just £75m?
Says Moyes:
“Isn’t it great that the club says, ‘There’s no budget here, you go get who you want to get, just go and do it’. We are looking at the best players. I do think it’s important that we show people we are carrying on the traditions and trying to take the club forward.”
Lionel Messi has a £205m release clause at Barcelona.
Or how about buying Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara? Let’s lok at how that’s deal’s been reported:
