Yeah same hereI'd take Costa or Maignan ahead of Raya, but we just don't have the money for them, so Raya will do.

Yeah definitely makes sense so won't do itSo, we renew DDG on a quarter of his current salary, sign Raya for half nothing considering his contract situation and flog Henderson (for probably more than Raya will cost)
If Raya proves to be a world beater, then great. If he is merely an upgrade on DDG but not elite, then next year we flog DDG and sign Maignan when we are less hamstrung by FFP with Raya becoming an excellent no. 2.
Would make good business and footballing sense. Which is why we probably won't do it.
What would they want for him?Brentford signed new Gk for 11m from Freiburg already, so they are pretty certain he leaves. They won't sign a backup for 11m I think.
What is reasonable for CostaApparently, the goalkeeper with the most saves in the league this season and 5th in clean sheets. Very impressive, considering Brentford are the second team with most shots against them. He is also 2nd in high claims and 6th in sweeper clearances.
No brainer, if we can't get Costa for a reasonable fee.
Don't know. The quoted fee seems a bit excessive, but still fine. But it's us, so who knows! Could easily end up higher.What is reasonable for Costa
In my opinion his release clause can be justified if we sell Dean Henderson for the reported £30M.What is reasonable for Costa
I would say £25-£30m is fairDon't know. The quoted fee seems a bit excessive, but still fine. But it's us, so who knows! Could easily end up higher.
Yeah if we could get thatIn my opinion his release clause can be justified if we sell Dean Henderson for the reported £30M.
Would prefer going out for Diogo Costa, but I’d be satisfied if this was the outcome for sure. We would actually be saving money given Raya will simply occupy Henderson’s wages, and De Gea will be on a much much lower wage.Thought he was being oveyhyped like a few premiership keeper linked with us earlier in the season....but as a number 2 to compete with DeGea for the next coupel of years....essentially in a negative net spend selling Henderson, it makes sense. He is definately a good keeper and not having so much pressure on his shoulder (which is my biggest worry for a few names linked) as being the number one here in the public limelight, it is a good deal
Like MJ chamone.He has a tiny nose.
He would but the price could put us offLooks decent, but if there was any way to get Costa that would 100% be the way to go. His distribution is insane and would give us a whole new dimension.
Of course it isn't, danger of going for free and Flekken coming for under 15m gives the tone.The price for Raya is £40m, of course that could be made up of a fee plus addons but that’s the price we will be asking if anyone calls with interest in him at the moment.
erm I am guessing your information comes from your own head - mine comes from a far more reliable source. That’s the fee we are going to be asking.Of course it isn't, danger of going for free and Flekken coming for under 15m gives the tone.
Understandable you are asking that feeerm I am guessing your information comes from your own head - mine comes from a far more reliable source. That’s the fee we are going to be asking.
Yeah you can ask what you want the reality will be a lot different.erm I am guessing your information comes from your own head - mine comes from a far more reliable source. That’s the fee we are going to be asking.
Let's see how it pans out but I think the reality will not be a lot different. Plus with a replacement in house already we are in no rush to sell the longer the window goes the more desperate clubs will get. He is also a homegrown player which will add a premium to the price. Ball is in other clubs court and his agent right now, when we have a price in mind that's normally what players get sold for in the end more or less.Yeah you can ask what you want the reality will be a lot different.
Guess it will start from25m and with add-ons it will hit somewhere between 30-35.The price for Raya is £40m, of course that could be made up of a fee plus addons but that’s the price we will be asking if anyone calls with interest in him at the moment.
Don´t you worry you will probably fleece United like all other clubs have.Let's see how it pans out but I think the reality will not be a lot different.

Bidding war with United, Spurs and Chelsea would be nice. Would prefer to see him at United though.Don´t you worry you will probably fleece United like all other clubs have.
Yeah I wonder why...Bidding war with United, Spurs and Chelsea would be nice. Would prefer to see him at United though.
I like Dean but Raya is better. Raya is one of the most well rounded keepers in the league.40m sounds like United tax already included. He is on his last year so i'd say he saround 20-25m, but the thing is I'm not sure if he's that much better than henderson.
Long shots is a weakness from himHe looks pretty tiny in the box next to big centre backs. Not a quality I like in a keeper.
Don't worry, it's not gonna happen.Yeah I wonder why...
We are idiots we pay whatever
We would need to raise money for Costa firstNo thanks
If we're going to invest in a keeper (we should) then it should be the Porto keeper Costa he's 10 times the player this shitter will ever be.
True but I believe it's 'only' 20m more for Costa it's a no brainerWe would need to raise money for Costa first
Oh yeah he's definitely the best option and could see it happening IF De Gea wasn't stayingTrue but I believe it's 'only' 20m more for Costa it's a no brainer
Interesting people keep saying he’d be a backup when he’s a few pegs above Dave in the Spanish pecking orderDon't worry, it's not gonna happen.
£40m would make him the 4th most expensive keeper in history, United are gonna pay that for who's likely a backup keeper.
Hes a average keeper, with very good distribution. Raaes@ did a video on him and he isnt good enough for utd.He looks pretty tiny in the box next to big centre backs. Not a quality I like in a keeper.
Take this to the De Gea thread, where jizz has been flying over Raya over De Gea for months.Hes a average keeper, with very good distribution. Raaes@ did a video on him and he isnt good enough for utd.
