I'd agree if it was a bonafide world superstar, but we shouldn't be bent over by Inter for an above average winger. It sets a very dsngerous precedence for future transfers.
Like clubs fleece Madrid or city for unproved players recently.

Best manager in the world bar none, always builds from a strong youth core with typical underdog teams.

Because he is terrified of being a failure. He will spend and spend to try and guarantee the league, not realising that people will just say he bought the league and if he doesn't then he actually will have failed.

I think our relationship with Real Madrid has waned since the de Gea fax debacle, prior to that it was said to be good. Being positive, it can be a good thing they're selling Morata to Chelsea rather than United... As we're not going to play ball over de Gea either, Courtois though...

There's only one United!
If we don't buy another couple of players, at least, we have fallen further down compared to the other top teams in the Premier League.

No wonder that Jose is not a happy bunny!

That is some consolation, they would likely love Hazard as well. The only pity in a way is that apart from DDG they wouldn't actually want any of our players anyway. Which isn't a consolation.

Only because they always got their way, the DDG episode was a game changer for sure, & long may it last.

If he hasn't given Ed further options and is just leaving him banging his head against a brick wall, then Jose is partly to blame. You need to be able to adjust your plans as to how your team will play, Jose might have to suggest another type of winger and CDM.

It may last for ever. Madrid rarely can build young players into work beaters like United as no longer they can afford ready made galacticos

If the players are very very important , well pay the price.

LOL if that's true.

It'll be the usual United bids are reported to the full possible extent, whereas other English team's are reported as the minimum.

Hence Morata £60m and Lukaku £100m

Yep, just the 4 seasons in a row we've finished lower than them now!
I meant in the future, and still last 3 years they have won fecking nothing. With the squad they had. While we have won everything outside epl and ucl.

Ours was a unbalanced squad and sometimes they have just been better on goal difference.

I find it crazy how desensitized we are getting to these kinds of fees now.
I mean, we're paying a bunch of people to put a ball (just one at a time, can't be more than that) inside the gap between 4 sticks (has to be four). That itself is weird if you think about it that way.
