I do wonder if we've pulled out of this Dyabala deal because inter have stumped up the cash and we were using Juve to get at Inter...
We haven't pulled out, Dybala doesn't want to come, and there is no way that Inter can raise more than £60m for Lukaku.I do wonder if we've pulled out of this Dyabala deal because inter have stumped up the cash and we were using Juve to get at Inter...
Why the feck would he come back?????If true we should take that and hand it to Palace for Zaha.
We pulled out because of his ridiculous wage demands to come.We haven't pulled out, Dybala doesn't want to come, and there is no way that Inter can raise more than £60m for Lukaku.
If you actually believe that...We pulled out because of his ridiculous wage demands to come.
I do actually because it falls completely inline with the clubs perspective after bringing in Ole. Just because it upsets transfer muppets, doesn't mean it isnt true.If you actually believe that...
Ole does not speak about such things as you know.Did ole target any natural right winger or central midfielder? It falls on him too. Rivals have strengthened with Pepe and ndombele , where were we?
Yes it's Woodward's fault for getting drawn into this swap deal but we haven't targetted other players either.
Yeah completely agree with you on that, although I am starting to wonder if we have enough time to do a straight cash deal with Inter for Lukaku and get in a couple of players ourselvesI’ll be disappointed if he stays here after the window closes.
I guess that's a briefing, going by the numerous tweets on the matter. I'd actually rather not have him at all and give the youngsters more of a chance, but we shouldn't be having a problem in getting someone in. We've had plenty of time to plan for this. And he doesn't suit us one bit. If there's an offer of 80M euros, that's incredible really.Rather keep him as a bench option than buy no one, even if he's made himself like a total tit with his actions lately.
I agreed with everything you said except the part about Herrera. In no way does he deserve to be called that. He was a model professional here, and his contract was up. How does accepting a generous deal from PSG make him a wanker?I do actually because it falls completely inline with the clubs perspective after bringing in Ole. Just because it upsets transfer muppets, doesn't mean it isnt true.
If a player does not want to play for us for any reason other than money, he can feck off to PSG with that wanker Herrera who did exactly the same thing. I dont want mercenaries at my club or people wanting to hold the club ransom for their wage demands.
a round of applauseThat would involve him hitting the target against a quality opponent - he’s not capable of doing that.
I meant calling someone a prick pal.
Your making a prick of yourself. Go to bed and get in the real world.
So much Big Dick Energy in the room!!Ok mr prick, have a good night.
that's how I see it. Having said that, we're probably starting the season with no replacement for Herrera, no cover for the ageing Matic, with no DOF and with DDG's contract not yet sorted. Nothing surprises me at this club anymoreIt would be insane to sell him without bringing in another striker.
I am confident about us struggling again this season if we only manage to bring in Maguire without replacing him. Lukaku may not be the answer but to rely on our current options is madness.I am confident about our youth, so would not care about him being sold.
No, it is not. Lukaku is not some player on the level of Ronaldo that we cannot replace. I think our young players can replace him just fine. I would rather try and get Fernandes for the money of Lukaku, as it will add to our midfield, an area we do need some more bodies in.I am confident about us struggling again this season if we only manage to bring in Maguire without replacing him.

Ed Woodward is a closet Scouser.that's how I see it. Having said that, we're probably starting the season with no replacement for Herrera, no cover for the ageing Matic, with no DOF and with DDG's contract not yet sorted. Nothing surprises me at this club anymore
I think we're being run in the same lines Tampa Bay is ie badlyEd Woodward is a closet Scouser.
I dont rate Lukaku very highly myself. A striker with no first touch has no business being at us. But... he is a proven, experienced goal scorer which we're in no position to be turning our noses up at. Rashford is not good enough yet to become main striker, Martial has zero experience and Greenwood is 17. Do you really believe we can get top 4 with them? I dont.No, it is not.

Yep, the Glazers are lousy owners. It's eerily similar how Tampa Bay are run, even down to having a clueless bulletproof general manager running the show.I think we're being run in the same lines Tampa Bay is ie badly
They have quite a few players we'd potentially be interested in. I think inter will structure a deal prior to the window closing as Conte is hard for him.I dont rate Lukaku very highly myself.

And I struggle to see how we are going to find a team willing to meet our valuation of Lukaku. Inter can't afford him & Juve were only interested so they could create funds. Without Dybala, that deal seems dead.
Would you mind mentioning them? The only player I can think of is Icardi. I doubt he'll want to come as well.They have quite a few players we'd potentially could be interested in. I think inter will structure a deal prior to the window closing as Conte is hard for him.

We can get top 4 without Lukaku I am confident about that. All this crap about being a proven goalscorera yet he barely scored more goals than Rashford and Martial. I expect them to both score more this season, and the likes of Greenwood, Chong and Gomes to step up as well. We need an improvement on Lingard and Mata though. They should not be starters, and we need more quality in that position.I dont rate Lukaku very highly myself. A striker with no first touch has no business being at us.

the problem goes deeper then that. If we had a top quality midfield then that wouldn't really be an issue. If Rashy gets injured then We'll move Martial upfront, with Sanchez and Greenwood acting as backup. However we don't have that. Our RW is virtually non existent, our CM is made up of players who are finished at top level (Matic), or not good enough (Fred and Periera), or not good enough yet (Mctominay) which makes us totally reliant on Pogba whom he wants out. So lack of quality in midfield will mean we'll have to convert the limited chances created from midfield into goals.We can get top 4 without Lukaku I am confident about that.

Whom exactly would you want from Juventus? Matuidi? Madzukic? Most of these players have 1 foot in their career's grave.Juve not Inter
Bentancur or Bernardeschi. They are improvement on what we have in midfield/wings.Whom exactly would you want from Juventus? Matuidi? Madzukic? Most of these players have 1 foot in their career's grave.
United should have spent the dosh to replace Matic, Herrera and bring 1-2 top quality wingers. Only then we could have said, feck it, lets sell Lukaku, move Martial upfront and then buy no one.
They offered us Dybala plus Mandzukic, so it'd be a similarly priced replacement for Dybala which wouldn't be Matuidi. A week ago I'd have happily taken Kean and Rugani for Lukaku, but that's in the past. They have a very talented squad and I'm not on the ball with what Ole is looking for, I can see issues, but how he intends to resolve them isn't my prolem to solve. There are many Juve players who would be great here.Whom exactly would you want from Juventus? Matuidi? Madzukic? Most of these players have 1 foot in their career's grave.
