Assuming posts regarding “that gif” will be insta deleted. Not sure if the curse transfers over but really don’t want try.

First megathread of the Lemmy era!! Get in!!

[-] Datzevo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

So we started the bid at 40m, Chelsea wanted 70m. Both sides end up at 55m with 5m addon. Not exactly sure what the addons conditions are but I heard its difficult to meet. In the event Mason meet those addons conditions, we'd be ecstatic to pay Chelsea that 5m. So really, it feels like the deal is at 55m.

With that being said, how do we feel about this deal?

I feel like its a fair deal. The "real" price is closer to 55m than the reported 60m. To me 55m is the right aMount.

I want to reserve judgment but at least he is an upgrade over Eriksen. In ETH I trust!

[-] brcl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m not so sure he’s an upgrade over Eriksen. I don’t think Mount’s vision is anywhere near Eriksen.

[-] LukaDoncic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I would argue the fitness is the biggest differentiating factor between the 2

For some reason I'm picturing Bender shouting "DO A FLIP"

Edit: Perfect

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fabrizio's picture of Mount is something else 😂

[-] mikebehzad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Amazing. Yup, 5 mil more. But honestly, that's not too bad.

Get Onana and Højlund and I'll unclench. Can't wait to see Mount though.

[-] zsolaris@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Not even "5 mil more" most likely.

Orny reports that the 5M bonuses are hard ones.

It seems like the deal we put on the table was basically 50M + 5M of fairly easy bonuses. What we agreed to is 55M + 5M of the Balon d'Or special.

Realistically, we probably aren't out any more money. If we are, it'll have been fucking worth it.

[-] Ryan213@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd gladly have us pay that 5M bonus for a Balon d'Or from him!

[-] kittyinboots@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Finally, Mount has come back to —— Manchester United

PS: Rock reference

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I did it...for ten Hag

[-] Ryan213@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Do we still have enough money to get Onana, Kane, Hojlund, and Osimhen?

Joking, of course. Arsenal has really strengthened their squad so I'm hoping we can keep up.

[-] designated_fridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Onana

Martinez/Varane

Mount/Casemiro/McTominay

Antony/Hojlund/Kane/Osimhen/Rashford

Here we gooooo, every game ends 9-6

[-] Ryan213@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As long as they're all Wins!

[-] fue@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yes! Go for Onana and Kane 🫶

[-] Ryan213@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm more likely to join than Kane. LOL

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can you play up top?
