Well they already made 40M€ when they sold Javi Martínez, that should be enough to improve their academy and training facilities (which are already top level).

Don't get me wrong, if I were them I'd be glad to see Ander leave for 30M€, but I can understand that making money out of transfers isn't a priority for them. I mean, look at what they did with Llorente, they prefered to let him rot for his last year of contract, in order to prevent other players from wanting to leave them, than selling him for 30M€.


doubt this is the proper strat though
with actions like these I'd rather choose the next best club as a youth player

I agree, but it's not that simple. You know that by signing with Athletic you are going to work in amazing football facilities, that, in Spain, are only behind Madrid's and Barça's. Also, for many basques playing for Athletic is a dream, really hard to say no to them. And Athletic isn't always like that... they'renever keen on selling, but it's their current president that is this extreme about it; considering they have presidential elections every 4 years, you don't know what the club's policy will be by the time you become a profesional player good enough to play for bigger clubs.

Manchester United winger Nani has signed a new five-year deal, keeping him at the club until June 2018.

Nani, 26, has scored 40 goals in 217 games  since joining the
Premier League champions from Sporting Lisbon in 2007.

During his six-year stay, he has won eight trophies, including four Premier League titles and the Champions League.

He said:  "Playing at United has been a fantastic experience for me.
When I came to the club, I never imagined the success we have enjoyed."

There had been speculation about the Portugal international's future, after he made only seven Premier League starts in 2012-13.

Despite missing most of United's pre-season schedule with a nose problem,  Nani has
impressed new Manchester United manager David Moyes enough to be given an extension to his contract, which was due to expire next summer.

"I'm really pleased Nani has re-signed for the next five years," the Scot said. "He has great ability and experience beyond his 26 years.

"I've been impressed with his approach to training and look forward to working with him in the coming seasons."

Nani came off the substitutes' bench during Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Liverpool to make his first competitive appearance under Moyes.

He said: "I'm very happy that the new manager has shown this faith in me and I'm looking forward to helping the team compete for more honours this season."

Nani is on international duty with Portugal, who play a World Cup 2014 qualifier against Northern Ireland on Friday before a friendly with Brazil on Tuesday.

United are next in action when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, 14 September.

It's like a new signing b)
I feel this is Nani's season, he's gonna be Prem's best winger yet again.

Ozil isn't worth £42.5m.

people don't seem to get that Fellaini is way better in an attacking position than in a DM position

I see you mention 2 amazing CDMS of which even with Fellaini Manchester United has none. Fellaini scored like 10 goals last season, he played as Center Forward/Attacking Mid for like 8 months last season. He isn't a cdm, even though he can cover it but he is mediocre on it.
