So he was valued at £45,000,000 a couple of days ago but now he’s valued at £4,500,000,000?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Quality control
Both Victoria Linda and Ruben Dias came from same Portugese club, so i dont understand your comparisson. Rapid and strong CB is exactly what people described of Cristian Romero.
ah, yeah, you're right, he was sort of a left back for us back then.Crap, how could I have forgotten about Materazzi?
Regarding Silvestre, didn't he mostly play at left back for Inter? Like Desailly, I'm reluctant to count him because of that.
I say "sort of" as we were playing a deliciously retro system those days under Simoni and then caretakar Lucescu, it was basically a throwback to vintage '80 serie A "zona mista" - so we nominally had a back four but one fullback played more like a wide CB in a back three.
The next Rojo
Italian media claiming Liverpool made a 50M offer for him
Aren’t they signing konate?
Yes, Seems like they want to get rid of Matip
Irrelevant Liverpool aren't bringing in two first team starters without assessing how VVD does this season, they have already done their CB shopping for the season
Can’t see them splashing out on 2 cbs
Never watch him before, but based on stats, defensively he's very good and probably the best one out there compares to our targets and our current CB (although conceded lot of fouls). But on the ball, he's not very good compares to Lindelof, Torres, Maguire, Varane, and Kounde. You expect him to do more on the ball since he played in an adventurous team like Atalanta. It will be an interesting signing if he end up joining us, could either become the new Vidic or the new Rojo.
Romero vs Others

Are you ok to get rid of both Bailey/Lindelof and bring in Varane & Romero ?
We can get 40M for Bailey/Lindelof and thrn sign Varane/Romero for 90M, means with 50M net spemd we can fix our CD places with Maguire/Varane/Romero/Taunzebe
We could try 3 in CD too

I was almost with you until I realized you were including Taunzebe. I would rather sell Axel and keep Victor but failing that if Phil Jones is fit again he is easily ahead of Axel for me.
He only played 78 minutes because he was carrying a minor injury, but he was an absolute wall today.
Easily the most talented central defender Argentina have produced in a LONG time.

Sign him up!

Strongly linked to Spurs currently.
Rushed back for Copa America final and along with Emi Martinez pushed the Argentina backline up a level.
What I don't get in this is don't Juve own him and have been loaning him out? So surely in 12 months time ideal to bring him back to replace Chellini and Bonucci also hitting his mid 30s now so he won't be around in 3-4 years time either.

Atalanta had a loan with buy option for Romero. The price was quite low around 15m euros. Atalanta will take up that option this summer and he will become their player.
Arent they after the Japanese CB from Bologna?
Spurs sounding like they are finally interested in the kind of players that made them good again.
My guess is that the links to Romero are just a way to put pressure on Bologna in the last stage of that negotiation.
I’m not sure Spurs have the money to buy both Romero and Gil without selling players first. Atalanta was rumored to be asking 60m euro for Romero and Gil is rumored to cost 25m plus bonuses (plus Lamela, but that's not important). Gil and Tomiyasu for 15-20m sounds a lot more likely than Gil and Romero.
Would be a brilliant signing for Spurs. Under a defensive manager like Nuno, he is going to be superb.
Hope they dont get him. Liked what i saw at the Copa.
What a cnut. Let's hope Maguire smashes him next time he plays against him, whoever he's playing for.
He's a cnut but he is some defender.
He's got a lot of rough edges to his game and has been at least partially responsible for a number of goals recently (got dominated in the air for the Burnley goal for example). Was poor on the second United goal today, getting sucked up too far out of the line looking at Pogba and then very slow to realize the danger posed by Sancho and recover into that space. I'm not quite sure what the marking scheme was supposed to be on the corner but he started off tangling with Ronaldo and that's who scored the goal. Something went wrong in the communication between him and Doherty because both Varane and Ronaldo had far too much space. Romero spun off to try and track Varane but he would have had an even easier free header than Ronaldo if the corner was lower.
To me he has a lot of tools but maybe lacking a bit in the brains/experience department. Also loves a yellow card and a bad foul.

Was great seeing Ronaldo rag doll him to win the header at the end.
Quite poetic that he shouted in Maguire‘s face yet he was too weak and lost his man for United’s winner.

Cnut. Why did he do that to Maguire for? Did Maguire rile him up or something before that?
As a CB himself, it is quite weird and classless for him to celebrate in Maguire’s face after that OG. Knew in that very moment that karma would get him soon. Didn’t think it would be this soon.
He's twat
They must've been giving each other a bit of shit at a previous corner or set piece. Otherwise it's pretty strange behaviour.
Dirty cnut and a shitty defender.
I quite liked it
wouldn't mind us having a massive twat like that in our defence

Hopefully Maguire smashes him playing for a different club.
Preach. We are soft at the back.
Players don’t forget that sort of think, cnut.
He is a shite defender who was made a mug for our winner.
He is a cnut, a bit like Pepe.
You'd love him in your team but depise him as an opposing player.

The PL's biggest cnut by an absolute country mile
I like him tbf. Has some balls on him and is actually a good player unlike our pus*ies.
