When he was talking to barca, they were favourites, then we were, when psg were in talks psg were and now juventus. It's not over yet i feel.
Sczeny
De Ligt Bonucci Chiellini
Bernardeschi Rabiot Ramsey Pjanic A.Sandro
Djbala Ronaldo
We gotta be for one cb for sure, why are we so relaxed in the market for cb's?We're not in this deal anymore. He's only linked to Paris, Barca and Juve. The news are circulating between both and there's no reason for him to choose us ahead any of 3.
I honestly don't think we're signing a CB this summer. Maguire seems to be off to City too.We gotta be for one cb for sure, why are we so relaxed in the market for cb's?
Me neither. Once we extended the careers of Smalling and Jones here, along with Eric and Rojo still being here too and Lindelof only just coming to the club, the situation is no different than when Jose wanted Maguire. Can't have 5 CB's (6 if you include the lad at Villa on loan) and think we are going to sign another.....I honestly don't think we're signing a CB this summer. Maguire seems to be off to City too.
Likely they're both getting their info from RaiolaAnd Di Marzio is copying Mike Verweij. Full circle.
I don't think Ed is going to be so naive again and not realise the situation.I honestly don't think we're signing a CB this summer. Maguire seems to be off to City too.
It’s not over
The last manager was slammed for going into the season without a CB and shaming the club for doing so. The club could use our scepticism of his previous CB purchases to refuse him. When the reality prob was they wanted a summer of little spending. Ole will want a CB. This is his dream job and he wants to succeed. Let’s just see who we can bring in there are more quality CBs than Maguire and De Ligt if we want to buyImagine actually going into next season without signing a CB and Ole spouting shite about the quality we have in that position. Can’t wait.
We're not making more than 3 signings this summer, and James was one of those 3. The other is Wan Bissaka, and the 3rd will be some midfielder we panic on. Have already accepted it. If we wanted a big summer, we would have done a lot more than we have so far.We gotta be for one cb for sure, why are we so relaxed in the market for cb's?
Sky don't own Sky BetObviously Sky Bet will have suspended betting if they have inside information that he is signing for Juve.
No? Oh ok carry on then.
We can have our best window yet even if only a week remains. Even after all the other clubs have bought. Beats latching onto players just because other clubs show an interest and then getting lumbered with duds.We're not making more than 3 signings this summer, and James was one of those 3.

If we were any other club I’d agree with you. Ed fecking Woodward can’t even “prepare a bid” in a week, let alone close out 2-3 signings.We can have our best window yet even if only a week remains.

Obviously! Its only going to end when he signs for us.It’s not over
Amen236 pages and there was probably never even a possibility of him coming here.
It does seem hard to see us buying a centre back, as all the links have been for players in the 65-100m bracket which just doesn't seem likely.I honestly don't think we're signing a CB this summer. Maguire seems to be off to City too.
Has he joined them then?So Ronaldo did convince him to join Juventus then
I just think there has to be an acceptance that it's not all going to be solved this summer. A lot of the same wasters will be in the team next season, because it's simply not viable to buy four or five top quality replacements in one window - especially with no Champions League next season. Sure, it'd be nice to actually see some initial progress made, but the club just isn't a huge draw for the real top level players right now. It's going to take at least 2-3 years in order to properly rebuild the squad and clear out the dead wood. And that's only if the club actually sticks with Ole and a plan for the future for that long. If he struggles badly next season, the reset button is going to be hit again, with another new manager and another new philosophy (since the fabled Director of Football appointment is still as far away as ever).It does seem hard to see us buying a centre back, as all the links have been for players in the 65-100m bracket which just doesn't seem likely.
Once we eventually struggle out the Wan Bissaka deal, and it's into July, we'll have spent 70-75m already.
We'd still have glaring holes on the right wing, and a centre mid starter birth, so even if Pogba did go, we'd need to use that money to sort those 2 positions, and the actual Pogba replacement first.
What a right old mess.

Typical riola who would want the player to develop and move again to so he can earn again.The release clause thing is interesting. I mean if the clause is too low and can be triggered after a couple of years into the contract for example, I would not want him.
In an ideal world we should stay away from Raiola as much as possible.Typical riola who would want the player to develop and move again to so he can earn again.
How is it? If that was true you would hear a lot of De Ligt rumours to United/PSG too from him.It’s always clear to me that Raiola directly feeds Di Marzio information. Let’s see if that’s to flush out interest or if Juve are genuinely pushing hard.
Is it really? Why doesn't he stuff money up his back pockets and influence this one.In an ideal world we should stay away from Raiola as much as possible.
Problem is that he knows how to over hype his clients and make them attractive to clubs who look for commercial aspects (rather than on field performance) of a player.
No wonder Woodward have a better relationship with Raiola than Fergie ever had..
Oh I didn't know that. Damn, that's a hell of a lot of investment. Hernandez and Pavard are both highly rated aren't they?He is not going to Bayern. They already invested more than €110m in CBs this window!
Süle, Hernandez, Pavard, Boateng (Martinez, Mai).
