Has Lass overcome his illness though?
its also why im not fully on the "Pep is a genius" bandwagon. Look at what he inherited to an extent, then added best part of £500m to it since his arrival.You can see where Mourinho's moaning comes from when you see these sorts of figures.
We have spent a feck load ourselves, but the difference is that when a City spend £30m on a flop defender, they can afford to go out and spend on another without a care in the world.
I'd happily take both here. Especially for a combined fee of about £22m. Kurzawa would instantly be our best LB and Diarra would be solid cover for Matic. We don't really have another CDM that can be paired with Pogba in a midfield 2, so our squad depth would definitely improve.
Young has done incredibly well for us, but he's very poor at defending 1v1. His crossing ability and general offensive skills are the reasons why he's done well so far. On Kurzawa, he's relatively complete in terms of being able to defend and contribute and make overlapping runs offensively. He actually scored a hat-trick against Anderlecht in the champions league this season.Would he really? Please tell me more about him? Can't say I've ever noticed him playing for PSG and certainly isn't a nailed on starter for them. If he's so good why are they making him available for 22 million? Is he honestly a better option than Young?
The real difference is that they spent a feck load of money on a team that was already top class. We spent a feck load on an upper mid table side just to reach a competitive level.You can see where Mourinho's moaning comes from when you see these sorts of figures.

"The keys of Harry Kane´s operation"
Madrid want to sign a galáctico this summer and the English striker begins to be close to being the first option.
Real Madrid like Harry Kane. And each time more. And more than other galácticos, as Neymar. The white team wants to sign a great star this summer and the name of the Tottenham striker, top scorer of 2017 in European football, has broken out with great force, according to 'SER Deportivos'.
The keys that can bring Kane closer to the Bernabéu are the bad relationship that exists between the club and Cristiano Ronaldo, the fact that Karim Benzema is increasingly questioned and the poor performance of Gareth Bale due to injuries.
According to Antón Meana, Neymar was preferred at the club a few months ago, but at Real Madrid they are increasingly convinced that Harry Kane can fit better in the team. Kane renewed last year for the club where he has been playing since he was 18 years old.He has a contract until 2022 and the intention of Tottenham is to continue with him many seasons. If they agreed to negotiate, the club would not accept less than 200 million €.
Who would leave the club in that case? There is a possibility that Cristiano does it, who wants to leave Real Madrid. Gareth Bale does not want to do it and it is not impossible for Benzema , who is marked by his poor scoring performance.
Yes, we´ll have a summer of many changes. Let's see if we find some bargain like Kroos a few years ago, or some new Modric.Tbh honest no one will buy Bale his wages are astronomic for a player approaching 30 and being very injury prone. Benzema is shot by the looks of it, lost his motivation to play at his dream club. Real are going to need some major surgery, so many aging stars and they're not going to be able to steal high profile players like they used to be able to do so.

A new Pepe is essential + the new signings taking a step forward.
It will not be easy to sign the galáctico, but I think we still have some appeal
Fifa gives a much better account of Kurzawa than real life. Much, much, much better. He is not a good nor balanced player.
Do people honestly think Lassana Diarra to utd is a good option? May as well give Fellaini a 10yr contract on 400k a week while we're at it. I've heard Chris Samba could sort our defence out too, chuck a bid in
For United? not at all. With so many promising players in the market there is no need to buy someone with 30 years, in a transfer that would not be cheap, with a very high salary, without experience in England, and in the middle of a very negative and prolonged streak.What is your opinion of Benzema? Would he be worth a look if Real get Kane?

He's been pretty ordinary for quite sometime. I'd hope we wouldn't go near him with a barge pole. If he's not motivated enough to play for Real, there's no way he should join another top level club who are after winning things. He'd fit in well at Arsenal....
No point really. For Arsenal he might be a good option. He's also already a quintessential arsenal player: phenomenal when on song but inconsistent as feckWhat is your opinion of Benzema? Would he be worth a look if Real get Kane?

Kane to Real is one of those transfers that are just destined to happen. It also makes so much sense for Real.
AS reporting that Simeone has given the go-ahead to sell Carrasco in January, with Vitolo coming in:

Why? He routinely looks half the player he is there for Belgium.It's also reported in Belgian media, but AS is probably their source. Would be the ideal player as an attacking wing back on the right in a 3-5-2, with Martial close to Lukaku on top.
"If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney.
“The day that this is football, I'm not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together.
“That is how everybody in football understands it. You always want to have the best, but building the group is necessary to be successful.
“Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players. I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money.”
You don't pay that for a defender surely, or if you do it is for an elite defender not VVD. Suppose at least they will be bragging they have snatched him from under the noses of City rather than us.I don't believe they'd pay £75M for van Dijk.
Klopp on Pogba:
Mourinho leaves the way open to Barcelona to sign the French
"...The French striker was on United's list to reinforce the team, although it was a somewhat strange situation because the signing was a matter of club rather than Mourinho. The coach liked Griezmann, but he was not so clear about his signing. On the other hand, inside the club that signing was seen as a great economic opportunity because of the hook that the striker has...."

Oh I agree, pay up or we will really go to town on the tapping up stuff and get you a transfer ban.Who is to know for sure but my feeling was that was a play by Southampton to get Liverpool to pay up.
How good is he really though? remember Scott Sinclair outscored him in the SPL last year and he hasn’t come close to hitting the goal scoring heights that the mighty Lee Griffiths did a couple of season ago for Celtic.
I would imagine Celtic will have a decent sell on % in this deal too.
