I want whatever the evaluation guy smoke, what's with Fred 30m and Elanga 30m?

It's the Premier league inflation! Elanga I can see being just under 30mil, but Fred I can't quite figure out.

I'm the other way around personally. He's not a world-beater but I think Fred gets a bad rep and 30m sounds reasonable.

Elanga for 30m is just a terrible deal though, and I say that as a Swede.

Sorry I didnt mean what I said about Fred in a bad way. He has been a great role play for ManU. Even better on Brazil's national team. 30m makes sense to me as a fan of the team, but i dont think everyone else will think that.

Also for Elanga I would not pay that to buy him, a smart manager would get a loan with an option to buy if he pans out.
