Doesn’t fancy Spurs either by the look of it, I think he’ll end up at PSG or Bayern.

His wage demands were probably so high as he had no interest in joining us unless we met ridiculous demands. Soon as the swap was reported everyone was saying he didn’t want to join, opportunity to live in London and play in Champions League might change his mind.

There a couple shite english sources that say otherwise. Meanwhile, *all* italian sources say it's 7/7.5m net. Their wagebill for 2017/18 was €270m. You don't get that high by paying out directors and managers...
It's not even proper source. Silly season and totalsportshit. Those are just rubbish papers and don't know difference between net and gross wages.

Tweets now saying Tottenham haven't agreed a fee and talks are ongoing... could Di Marzio have got it wrong? Hmmmm
As i say, i don't think there has been a bid made, or any talks, it's just Juve trying to get United back to the table. Thats just my opinion though, based on feck all but personal thought

As much as I despise Woodward and the Glazers, I was actually not too bothered about missing out on Dybala if he truly doesn't fancy us, even if I am still skeptical of that claim. If he ends up going to fecking Spurs who are notorious for their strict wage structure, then yeah, that whole "we only want players that want to be here" would be, unsurprisingly, baloney.

We won't. I gave my opinion previously that Dybala's supposed wage demands were a smokescreen to disguise the fact that he just didn't want to sign for United.
Ahhh yes the legendary Spurs with their epic season of reaching the CL final. One for the history books that. We might be shit but no one would choose Spurs over Utd and deep down you know that too.

He'll end up at PSG for a cut-rate price because Juve is so desperate to sell and he seemingly doesn't want to come to the PL.

unpopular opinion but I think this is still on and Dybala is just playing hard to get in an attempt to milk a big salary
If someones playing games its us, since our club briefed the english media. could be ed's attempt to keep the wage budget under control.

If we won’t pay his wages Spurs won’t either.
It's so stupid, I can't believe people buy it.

Manchester United pull out due to how expensive it all is .. but yeah, Daniel Levy who famously loves big spending is going to bring Dybala in and completely smash our wage structure to bits in the process.

Or Bayern as James replacement. They also release other attackers like Ribery and Robben.

If they have the money to buy Sane, they can buy Dybala.

No, he'll end up at Spurs and we'll be paying them £50-60m for a player who has 1 year left so they can get him after he rejected us. :lol:

Sane and Dybala are different players. Bayern need Sane more than they need Dybala. They better off using Goretzka behind the striker.

Exactly. I think it’s all nonsense - much like a lot of the rumours we’re hearing today.

So what's the narrative that we need to go for here? That he said no to us because we're not a big draw, but no to Spurs simply because they didn't put that cheese room into the Greatest Stadium of All Timetm

€70m? feck me.
That fact that absolutely no one else has picked up on this tells me it's either Juve pushing out info to try and get interest, or pure utter made up BS.
I just don't believe that given how big the news could be, only one person - Di Marzio - has actually reported on it. No one in England and no other Italian journo's (reputable ones) have said anything at all.

Dybala clearly doesn't think he's good enough for the Premier League. He will stay at Juve and his career will suffer before he tries to resurrect it with a move to Lille or something.

He seems a bit dim tbh.

Yeah no chance a player like Dybala goes for €70m in this market. It’s made up.

That's certainly....an opinion.

Bizarre that people (even seasoned spurs fans who should know levy by now) get excited and start thinking it's a possibility.

Yeah we're about to pay Dybala 200k a week or whatever, we do stuff like that all the time..

It's not quite as simple as that, because the ownership of image rights comes into the equation. United wanted to have the image rights, Spurs may not.

So if Dybala was allowed to keep his image rights, perhaps Spurs wouldn't need to "completely smash our wage structure to bits".

Good call on Bayern. I hadn't considered them as players in this saga. That would be a very good landing spot for him both in terms of lifestyle and for footballing reasons.

£64 million for Dybala.

Hard to know what to believe at the moment, rumours are in overdrive.

It won't happen. Until I see him holding a Spurs shirt I won't believe it for a second.

I don’t think you’ve understood the image rights issue. His wages don’t change.

You calling bullshit?
Not sure what to believe, but i'm certain that if they HAD agreed a fee, the BBC would atleast be reporting it by now, seeing as quite a bit of time has passed since Di Marzio "broke" the news.
Theres been no one over here thats said anything, well aside from one tweet saying talks are ongoing but no fee agreed

Bale did. Gascoigne did. I wouldn't be quite so arrogant if I were you. The lure of the Europa league is not terrific.
