Initial fee of €35m? Ffs could be even more so depending on appearances. Someone was saying €30m total earlier in the thread, just seems a lot when you have Mats Hummel's going for half that fee and is already World Class and in his prime years.Tweet

Why believe the 35m and not the 30m information?Initial fee of €35m? Ffs could be even more so depending on appearances. Someone was saying €30m total earlier in the thread, just seems a lot when you have Mats Hummel's going for half that fee and is already World Class and in his prime years.
Even with Mourinho's reputation, I realise we have to pay extra to convince players that are going to play Champion's League next season, to join us instead, but this seems too much for potential.
Makes sense, I could see Bailly being used at RB.Tweet

- Mourinho has prioritised the purchase of a top-level center back, central midfield and center forward. Negotiations with Zlatan Ibrahimovic are ongoing, with Mourinho only prepared to take the Sweden international if he and agent Mino Raiola reduce their financial demands to sign as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain.
- The new Old Trafford manager is also focusing his efforts on clearing space and salary from Van Gaal's squad. Juan Mata – United's record signing upon his recruitment from Mourinho's Chelsea in January 2014 - is the most prominent of a number of post-Sir Alex Ferguson era signings, the Portuguese plans to sell elsewhere.
- Mourinho added to his technical staff on Sunday, bringing Ricardo Formosinho in as his senior technical scout. According to Portuguese daily Record, Formosinho will aid Mourinho with player recruitment and tactical analysis of United's opponents. The 59-year-old previously coached with Mourinho at FC Porto and was part of his scouting department at Real Madrid.

What you mean doesn't make sense?This signing doesn't make sense. From his vids (I know its not going by a lot) and the poster's review it appears he's very raw. His stats aren't that pleasing and his cons remind me of Mangala.

Mourinho rates the kid, just like Varane and Zouma. That's reassuring.This signing doesn't make sense. From his vids (I know its not going by a lot) and the poster's review it appears he's very raw. His stats aren't that pleasing and his cons remind me of Mangala.
So no priority for a RW ?? I thought that would be the top of the list.Some interesting stuff in that:
Someone on here before said he reckoned Mou would like Young on the right. I'm starting to worry it might be true.So no priority for a RW ?? I thought that would be the top of the list.

30M Euros reported by Cadena SerWhy believe the 35m and not the 30m information?
And would have demanded extra wages as well which affects the feeHummel had one year left on his Dortmund contract.
.Someone on here before said he reckoned Mou would like Young on the right. I'm starting to worry it might be true.
Yeah thats the only thing going for it imo.Mourinho rates the kid, just like Varane and Zouma. That's reassuring.
How do you know?What you mean doesn't make sense?
He is a young CB, who is going to get better and Mourinho is also looking for a experienced defender. So what part doesn't make sense?
He's raw but he's got fantastic potential and has been showing it at Villarreal. Forget stats ffs, they're a guide but don't tell the whole picture. It makes perfect sense to me, young, strong, athletic, enjoys tackling and doesn't shy away in games. Ready made for the PL.This signing doesn't make sense.

I'm certain we said the same for Mangala when he was linked with us (before City nabbed him)He's raw but he's got fantastic potential and has been showing it at Villarreal. Forget stats ffs, they're a guide but don't tell the whole picture. It makes perfect sense to me, young, strong, athletic, enjoys tackling and doesn't shy away in games. Ready made for the PL.
So what? He isn't Mangala, he's Eric Bailly.I'm certain we said the same for Mangala when he was linked with us (before City nabbed him)
There's article on the top of the page saying it...Yeah thats the only thing going for it imo.
How do you know?
What's the use in having a squad of players if the loss of one for a maximum of 5/6 games is enough to derail an entire season?So because its a different time of year its impossible for them sequence of results or similar to be repeated, especially because we are missing, what we'd all hope to be a top defender?
It will come down to how willing he is to learn from the coaches here and generally how smart he is on the pitch.He's raw but he's got fantastic potential and has been showing it at Villarreal. Forget stats ffs, they're a guide but don't tell the whole picture. It makes perfect sense to me, young, strong, athletic, enjoys tackling and doesn't shy away in games. Ready made for the PL.
Also you have to remember Mangala was in the Portuguese league when he was snapped up by City. At least with Bailly hes playing in one of the top leagues in the World. Looks very raw to me and needs a lot of work but I'm hoping to be proved wrong.I'm certain we said the same for Mangala when he was linked with us (before City nabbed him)
I know that. Thats why I said it reminds me/sounds like of Mangala.So what? He isn't Mangala, he's Eric Bailly.
From Duncan Castles? Didn't he say we weren't getting Ibra not long ago?There's article on the top of the page saying it...

Injuries can't be avoided in football, this is something that can.What's the use in having a squad of players if the loss of one for a maximum of 5/6 games is enough to derail an entire season?
Injuries happen more frequently and take out more players for longer periods of time.
It's an international competition. Not some pointless friendly.Injuries can't be avoided in football, this is something that can.
Like who? Pedro? Seems it worked out good for us on that front. Mangala and Otamendi another couple of players I'm glad we don't have.We always overpay - so please leave the price out of it and wrap this up before another club swoops in - like what's been happening to us for the past few years.
