Teixera off to China for 38£. We did well to avoid another mercenary. Talks about moving to further his international career. Good riddance.

Wouldn't you?

Why does anyone expect loyalty from players? There transient employees of the club. It's the fans who make it. Would you really care if tex came in for a fat pay packet like all your hero's have done (stevie, suarez torres, Continho, SAKHO) and score goals thay help us win football matches.

It's not our money, its our club bur I couldn't care less what we pay if we getting top quality players, who cares about personality. Mercenary or not what does it matter. Lallana isn't a mercenary and how's that working out, all our players are lovely boys but they all still take how more than our yearly wages in a week. Remember we have spent 250 mil over the past 3 years, on potential. He will be class and not a mercenary.

We need to drop this don't pay that bull

What happens now is instead of tex for 38 mil we ens up with two 19 million pound players that don't improve us.

De Bryune 57, martial 36, Costa 35, ozil 42 and then city in the summer will pull pogba, stones etc out there hoop and bladder 200 mil and guess what. They will win the league whilst we have 'he will be class'! 'i wouldn't want him he's a messinary' 'what a bargain'

Flip it round for tex. He wanted out of shaktar, probably doesn't want to be there anymore. Got offered super wages hopefully makes the world cup and can still look to do a Willian and make it to the prem through future moves. Maybe he just thought f u shaktar owner. China were probably the only ones willing to buy him also, ed02 has already said the price will he higher in the summer.

You go to work tomorrow and someone calls and offers the same job and to treble your wages but you have to move to the Isle of Man. I'd already have my plane ticket.

(nothing wrong with isle of Man btw) but for any of us in England it's about remote and out of the way to suddenly move to.

Fully agree Paulo. Problem is the steaming pile of bull that players come out with in interviews. I don't expect them to say they would like to move clubs for the huge pay rise but if they're suggesting Liverpool or the BPL is a dream move because of the passion, atmosphere and history it all seems shallow and fake when they move almost exclusively for cash reasons.
If it's money Tex is after, good luck to him. Sorry he didn't manage to get his dream move to Liverpool, poor chap.

No player with ambition, at his prime, would shift to China when he has a chance at the best league in the world. Good we never dished out the cash for him.
