So apparently Real have lowered his price to 8 million so they don't risk losing him for nothing next year. Am I the only one who thinks we'd be stupid if we didn't buy him?

We should be all over that, in fact if that was true and we didn't wrap him up we'd deserve to be a mid-table team, that's a steal for a very good and vastly underrated player.

 

[Santos J]

Don't think he's anything special but he's miles better than anyone we have aside from Herrera and for that price he'd certainly be a good option and we should be all over it.

 

[Tarrou]

Of course we should try if that's the price, but it isn't surely?

 

[Winrar]

Isn't Real letting go of him because he's asking for some crazy wage demands? Still, we should try to snatch him at that price, though.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

He is better than anything we have got.

 

[Dargonk]

If true, I'd take him. Got to better than our current options and cheap in today's market

 

[An Irish Red]

Any respected source for that?

He's a steal at that price. I'm convinced that we need two midfield signings so getting someone like him on the cheap would be great business.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Yes. I've always liked him, maybe I over-rate him a little bit but I thoroughly enjoyed watching him in the World Cup. Was more of a box-to-box rather than his typical holding role.

It says a lot that Lowe picked up to start, let alone be in his WC squad, despite being out for months previously.

Ashley Young earns £120,000 a week for us, we're the king of crazy wages.

 

[Traub]

It's sad to say, but I think we would be low down on his list making him unattainable.

 

[Deleted member 78215]

He's good enough for Germany, yet some people quibble about having him here (not in this thread, particularly, but elsewhere) ... Kinda funny.

 

[sullydnl]

8 million? I don't even rate him all that highly but at that price it's a no brainer.

I mean we allegedly bid 40m for him last summer ffs.

Would worry about his injury history though. Plus he isn't actually all that good defensively (despite what some people seem to think).

 

[Devil may care]

If it's true we should be on it like stink on shit, he'd be Cleverley's replacement.

 

[BD]

I'd take him for 3 times that amount. Can't see him going for that much though, that's ridiculously cheap.

Despite his abilities, he's better than all of our midfield options (Bar Herrera, maybe?) and for £8,000,000 we'd be foolish not to go for it, considering our supposed war-chest of cash.

 

[Winrar]

It's sad to say, but I think we would be low down on his list making him unattainable.

Still, if we throw enough money at him we could get him. Toure, Silva, etc. joined City when they weren't in the CL.

 

[Shane88]

Offer them quadruple that, just to be sure.

 

[thegregster]

Miles better than Fletcher,Carrick,Anderson,Cleverley,Fellaini.

 

[Amadaeus]

Rather have William Carvalho at £37m. Not sure what he does on the pitch, as such it makes me make that assumption.

 

[MTR]

Miles better than Fletcher,Carrick,Anderson,Cleverley,Fellaini.

You forgot Herrera.

 

[AltiUn]

I might overrate him a tad but I think he'd be an excellent addition.

 

[red_devil83]

I'd pay double that right now. Give him £160,000 a week too.

 

[Tarrou]

It's nice that Madrid already converted his asking price to £ for us too.

 

[The Black Pearl]

8m is only pocket change. If he's available at that price he should be snapped this evening.

 

[thegregster]

You forgot Herrera.

I assume we are going to give Herrera more than one game. All the players I mentioned should be sold and replaced. Obviously we can't do it in two weeks. The process should have started last summer. We should ship out two of them plus Anderson and bring in two new players in the next two weeks.

 

[dev1l]

much depends on his wage demands. If let s say he s demanding 250k per week ( i m inventing numbers here), he ll cost the club 8m+(12.5mx4)=58m over 4 years. Not to mention the ripple effect on other players making higher wage demands.
mind you, i m not convinced that real will sell for just 8m...it could be the usual media bollocks

Who's reporting this?

 

[Barney]

His wage demands are probably ridiculous

 

[Traub]

True. It's just you'd imagine a fortune of suitors at that price all of whom can offer decent wages.

 

[Cooksen]

Still far too expensive knowing us.

 

[Tarrou]

Who's reporting this?

Metro. It's bollocks.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Would be an absolute steal. Go for it Woodyboy.

 

[Red_toad]

If it's true we should be on it like stink on shit, he'd be Cleverley's replacement.

Dont think he'd come to sit on the bench & be a bit part player!

 

[Blair]

No value there.

 

[dev1l]

Metro. It's bollocks.

beano is more credible

 

[devilish]

We should be all over that, in fact if that was true and we didn't wrap him up we'd deserve to be a mid-table team, that's a steal for a very good and vastly underrated player.

I agree. Unless we cant get Vidal we should get him

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Please for the love of god, even the fecking universe itself wants us to sign better midfielders, it must do to make him available for eight frigging million. DO IT

 

[XdanielredX]

He's not AMAZING but 8mil would be a steal..

and at that price we could still get top targets such as Vidal, Di Maria etc

 

[thegregster]

I agree. Unless we cant get Vidal we should get him

Why not go for him and Vidal? We need two more CMs.
