Means they expect him to say yes to United, they think him turning us down is unlikely.What does that last sentence even mean?

I just found it odd. I don't watch as much european football as I used to 2-3 years ago but he was still a regular for Juventus last season and plays for Argentina from time to time.Woah, chill out dude
maybe today, he is with the squad apparentlyImagine we won’t be seeing any concrete updates today until the player gets back tomorrow. All it takes now is a YES from Dybala and we are sorted
Means good chances he will accept the deal.

Oh okay cheers. I thought it was in relation to any deal that Juventus were offering him which just didn't make any sense to me.He's more likely to say yes, than no. Don't know why the did the double negative.
I have watched him a lot and while I wouldn't call him lazy he certainly isn't a hard worker like our first two summer signings.In the admittedly few games I have watched I can see nothing wrong with his workrate to be fair.
Now that this is looking bizarrely likely to happen, despite my massive reservations about the signing, we do appear to have somehow upgraded on Lukaku albeit with a different style of player.
How do people feel we will line-up with Dybala?
Would it be:
-------Rashy-------
Martial--Dybala---Lingard
?
Because I'm shuddering at the thought of Pogba in a two-man midfield/pivot alongside Matic or McTominay. The former is done. The latter too limited. If we had a N'golo Kante I'd be confident of that formation succeeding but we frankly dont.
If only.Do you work for EA?
"Pride and accomplishment"
If Aguero can learn to press well enough for a Guardiola team, i'm sure Dybala can do the same.I think almost every manager would want Dybala. He's class and obviously if United are in talks with him then Solskjaer must have given it the okay.
But it's simply true that Dybala doesn't fit with what Solskjaer has talked about wanting from United players (pace, workrate) while he fits perfectly with what Woodward wants (superstars that will keep sponsors happy/attract new ones and generate social media buzz).
So it feels like a signing that Woodward will have pushed for and Solskjaer went along with while James and Wan-Bissaka felt like signings Solskjaer pushed for and Woodward went along with.
Teams may be scared to pay that sort of money after his poor season.Surprised Dybala’s “only” option seems to be us. (& reports linked him to Spurs of course - but wages might be a issue for them).
Juve could easily, IMO, flog him for €80-90m and just buy Lukaku from us? Guess the big sides are stacked up front (unless PSG loses Neymar) & Chelsea have a transfer ban, which explains his limited options, as only a handful of clubs can afford his transfer fee and wages.
Madrid might have been interested, had the Bale & James moves not stalled I guess.
Oh take that kind of talk somewhere else please.Imagine this place when we dont make any of the three heavily linked signings of Bruno, Maguire and Dybala
Di Marzio and Romano will go the way of Kevin Palmer.Imagine this place when we dont make any of the three heavily linked signings of Bruno, Maguire and Dybala
Yup.Photoshop mate.
Given that Ronaldo turns 35 in February and Mandzukic 34 in May (Higuain is old too), why on earth would Juve let a player with such a potential leave them being only 25 y.o.? 99% of the comments on here make Juve look dumb. Which they aren't.Strange opinion tbh. Dybala is far more talented, more proven, much higher ceiling, more dynamic, less likely to flop, addresses our potential goalscoring issues and should give us what we need in the attack. In an attacking sense, he's basically as good as what we could possibly do this summer because of his potential to be one of the best in the world. Fernandes is good, but nowhere near Dybala level or potential, and has a lot more risks associated with him (along with basically playing the same position).
we don't talk about the darkest of all timelines!Imagine this place when we dont make any of the three heavily linked signings of Bruno, Maguire and Dybala
Depending on opposition a diamond 4-4-2 would be interesting too..Rashford - Martial - Dybala
Pogba - McTominay - Bruno*
Shaw - Maguire* - Lindelöf - AWB
De Gea
If the other transfer rumours are to be believed.
With all 3 up front switching positions as needed.
Gives us 3 in midfield and Lingard not in the starting eleven.
They apparently do want Lukaku + 20m.Given that Ronaldo turns 35 in February and Mandzukic 34 in May (Higuain is old too), why on earth would Juve let a player with such a potential leave them being only 25 y.o.? 99% of the comments on here make Juve look dumb. Which they aren't.
Dybala is a very good player but not that special really. He is as overrated on here as Lukaku is underrated. The swap makes sense for Juve simply because they think that they are of similar quality in their respective positions. Otherwise they'd want Lukaku + 50m or something.
He and Pogba are best of chumrades.Another reason to sign Dybala. He’s the caliber and profile of player who will help convince Pogba to stay, Sancho to join etc
That's how I would see the potential team sheet too.Rashford - Martial - Dybala*
Pogba - McTominay - Bruno*
Shaw - Maguire* - Lindelöf - AWB
De Gea

There's a hell of a difference between drifting on the flank and being a winger. Inability to understand the difference to that is what saw a decline in Dybala's performance throughout the past years in the same way we've seen Rashford struggling when he was placed in that same situation.I agree that he’s not a winger. However, that does not mean he can’t “start” there in a formation.
Going off his track record, he tends to drift there anyways. Hypothetically if we got Bruno+Dybala, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if let’s say he had to “start” on the RW. Doesn’t mean we are expecting him to play there as a literal RWer because Ole loves interchanging attacking players and it just so happens Dybala’s tendencies match up. Whoever the “RW” + CAM are would be criss-crossing anyways so I don’t really see anything to lose sleep over, especially considering it’s for Lukaku who’s not wanted here.

And this is assuming both Bruno+Dybala are acquired. You can see why they would easily coexist as both have tendencies that suit the other. Just reading the last bit up top, Raphinha does the same thing Dybala does with his tendencies...and if only Dybala is had and not Bruno, then it’s obvious he would “start” in the 10 spot even though it wouldn’t mean a whole lot as he’d still play the same way other than “starting off” in his more natural spot.
Cheers, and as you can see I’m fully invested on the hype train!
Is this reliable?
It's just a deal that is convenient for both teams. Juventus were trying to sign Icardi for some time so instead of that they will sign Lukaku. They will let go Dybala who won't fit Sarri's tactical plans. ManUtd can get rid of player who doesn't fit how Ole wants to play.Surprised Dybala’s “only” option seems to be us. (& reports linked him to Spurs of course - but wages might be a issue for them).

Maguire I'd be the one most gutted about there tbh. I was really looking forward to the season before the Dybala stuff and Di Marzio name checking FernandesImagine this place when we dont make any of the three heavily linked signings of Bruno, Maguire and Dybala
I’d give them Lukaku+£50m no joke either.They apparently do want Lukaku + 20m.
But we would surely be defensively crap! Bruno, Pogba and Dybala like getting forward. All three would want to occupy that AM position at the same time.Depending on opposition a diamond 4-4-2 would be interesting too..

It lacks width yes, but through the middle that looks pretty damn good!
I heard it was the other way round, hence Manzukic +Dybala being an option!They apparently do want Lukaku + 20m.
Depends on the journalist, generally GDS aren't that good.Is this reliable?
Well then we should tell him to feck offThat's net. He's asking for Sanchez money.
Why not + 50m if he is so much more talented than Lukaku though?They apparently do want Lukaku + 20m.
Dybala cannot play CM wich is a position that needs strengthening, Bruno can.Strange opinion tbh. Dybala is far more talented, more proven, much higher ceiling, more dynamic, less likely to flop, addresses our potential goalscoring issues and should give us what we need in the attack.
