Pique, by his own admission, decided to leave due to Rio and Vidic forming the best partnership in the prem. Sitting on the bench was beneath his ability so he left for Barca. Slightly different to Walker going to City for the money - there is simply no other reason why he would join that sty of a football club.
Other than being English and younger, what other attribute does Dier have over Blind that would make him worth the asking price?
I dont see much. Just height and more physicality.
Right. And to be fair being an inch taller at CDM isn't going to make that much of a difference. Daley's experience and familiarity with the defensive line will make up for the physicality.
Ok I just need to say it is Tuanzebe and not Tounzebe and it is Daley not Daly and how can you overlook Lindelöf when naming our options for CB ?
Mourinho doesn't like flexible players who can 'do a job' out of position.
I think so too. The only way I can see this happening is if he hands in a transfer requests and begs to leave but players very rarely do that nowadays.
yes.
Walker wasnt a guaranteed starter by the end of the season.
Blind was played in central midfield in his first season with us, and he was quite disappointing. Now maybe it was just him adjusting to the Premiership and he'd be better in that role now, but it'd be dangerous going into a season on that hope.
Only because he fell out with Pochettino, nothing to do with his ability.
I don't know why people are still clinging to him being a midfielder. It's as if Blind gets better in midfield the longer he goes not playing there. Also saying him and Dier offer the same in midfield is still as funny as when that user first mentioned it. I don't think he's ever seen either play midfield.
Same here.
rather wanyama than any of them tbh
Rather Weigl than all of them!
This is also the same man that would prefer playing Wayne Rooney in midfield over Ander Herrera.
It's funny really. Half the forum is talking about José switching over to a 352 -still can't believe that shit
Jose is a man without criticism at present. If top 4 is not looking realistic in January he will be on his way out.
Dont think so.

The fee is beyond stupid.
He stuck with Rooney when he was stinking the place up, sacrificing others so his captain could play, Herrera did not play enough, he signed players that didnt not fit into a 3 5 2, then proceeded to try and play 3 5 2, didnt have the courage of his convictions and moved away from it then when it didnt initially get results, He moved to many players on while giving too much game time to those who had no chance of making it at Utd.
So would the rejection from Levi if true.
