Mr_Dogg Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Jake Livermore. Hull. £8m They're going to sign Snodgrass for £8 million now as well. WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 That'll be over thirty million they'll have spent on the above two plus Long and Jelavić. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 £30m on long, jelavic, snodgrass and livermore... **** me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 There seems to be a lot of negativity towards Hulls purchasing here, but Long and Jelavic were good buys. Livermore played well last season, for the most part, and Snodgrass is a very good player when fit. I personally think they're good buys. I guess we'll see. £30m isn't actually that expensive for 4 first team choices any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 They are very much Aston Villa 2007-2010 type purchases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical, lazy, unimaginative purchases, they will be lucky if they make their money back on the contracts alone. Typical Bruce, O'Neill, Fat Sam style management. Forget giving British managers more chances, they should be banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 They are very much Aston Villa 2007-2010 type purchases. You think they'll be top 6? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The new TV deal has inflated transfer fees and salaries. You can't expect £30-40m extra television money for each club every year not to have an impact on the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decavfc Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Steep transfer fee for shaw after only playing the one full season in the premier league... Will help him that Evra is staying at Man U, experienced player to learn from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Bilbao are confirming that Herrera paid the buyout fee on his contract which is €36m (£28.5m) so who knows what money United have actually shelled out for him. As I understand it, it's only the individual who can buy out a contract under Spanish law so Herrera would have to do that by himself. If he suddenly came into €36m then the Spanish government are going to see that as either income or a windfall and tax accordingly. Presumably United would have to eat the tax bill too?

dudevillaisnice Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yes I remember with illarramendi when he moved to Real Madrid it was €30m + €7m in taxes. Hence the figures at the time were reported at around €39m. It is never just the amount stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 They are very much Aston Villa 2007-2010 type purchases. Yeah agreed. NRC for £8m, Harewood for £4m,. Curtis Davies for £9m (or whatever it was), Sidwell for £5.5m, Cuellar for £7-8m, Heskey for £3.5m, that's a lot of money for a lot of absolute shite right there.

omariqy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Over inflated fees you say - simple just don't pay transfer fees. The Aston Villa way. Hull will be stronger than us imo. I think Long and Jelavic can scored 20 goals between them easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
