Apart from you know, absolutely no one that anybody has head of whatsoever, or any reputable newspaper whatsoever, linking us to him.

But despite that, yes, I'm sure two week old stories from a Swiss free paper was definitely spot on.

Oh and I suppose all of these so called 'reputable' papers knew way in advanced that we were going to sign Bailly too?

My point is that it's not so far-fetched to believe we're genuinely interested in one of Europe's brightest young talents, regardless of who has or hasn't reported on it.

Way in advance? No.

But they got wind up of it, clearly, and it was reported in every single paper within days. Not just in the UK press, but in the Spanish press too. I'm not arguing about whether we should be in for him or not (I've literally never see him play and do not know if he's any good or not) I'm arguing that if we are in for him they'd be more than 1 solitary Swiss paper and 1 regional German paper saying it.
 
How on earth can we be in any sort of competition for a player from Leipzig??? What next - United trying to outbid Salford City?
Has anyone else of note been in for this lad? I am worried if the only ones who think he is worth it is us and Leipzig. If Bayern or Dortmund were interested that would be a different matter. No Italian clubs, Spanish clubs, English clubs?
 
Leipzig are loaded and aiming to break into the top of the Bundesliga. Bit different from Salford City.
They just got promoted into the Bundesliga - sounds like a Bournemouth from last year situation. But, again, we should be signing players ahead of Bournemouth if we want them - we are a huge global powerhouse of a club. It seems like either us or Leipzig are being used to push the price up a bit.
 
My apologies if it is, just saw it on Twitter and thought it might be worth posting. Even so, this deal looks done.
TBF, it has today's date.

And is it really done d'you reckon?

When a player starts talking about how great a certain manager is I always feel a deal is close if not already done. With Juve signing Pjanic it leaves us as the only club in for his signature which to me indicates he chose us over Juve.
 
Hope Tony V stays at old Trafford such an undervalued player for us.

Depends on whether he wants to be first choice at this stage of his career as I'm sure Jose will not want to play him at RB or RW, squad player yes and he ended the season well but the rumour maybe bollocks anyway, I wouldn't be too worried if we sold the likes of Tony and Young.
 


Not sure why they say he's a target for United he leaves the door wide open for someone to come get him

His actual quote is "I would like to stay, I am very happy" but that nothing is ever certain

Just MEN making a big deal out of nothing

Tony V is extremely reliable. Wouldn't be surprised if he started at RB
 
I would take Verratti over any player in the world bar Messi. Joy to watch when he's on form.
