I know, Woodward is really a synecdoche here for the United transfer approach.
Ah. Hope it wasn't just mean wondering, makes me feel like a fossil.
It was honestly just a guess. I've never heard it before. I'm a proper old man when it comes to these things

Cheers, and I agree. It appears plausible for both scenarios - the ideal one that he is attracted to our club and the alternative one that he wants to push for another season.
I think he will come here and be extremely professional and give his all. I think people are reading a bit too much into the things about Dybala not being keen having been burnt so many times before.
Yup. Also OGS would be a more flexible manager for attacking players than LVG
Plech is a genius. This place needs him.Slow people
I know I made it so close too.f5'ing like an idiot...ugh!! I survived transfer muppetry so well this season as well.
Surely if this report is true we ought to think twice about going through with the deal.
Agreed, mate.
This reminds me so much of our chasing other big players. I remember we were supposed to be offering crazy money to Ramos as well. Dybala would be a good signing, but we should be focused on central defence and midfield. Getting Dybala and losing out on Maguire and Bruno sees us remain 6th this season.
Dybala and Ronaldo are pals. Ronnie definitely doesn’t want him out. He even done the Dybala mask celebration when Dybala was having a difficult time last year.
They would want to use icardi for a swap but would Juventus want the circus brought by icardi and the wife?
We definitely still need a midfielder and a defender, but for what it's worth I do think we will sign Maguire and Fernandes too.
This is exactly what’s happening in my view. Good take on things.
So a straight forward 3 way swap, not sure thats ever happened.
That is not necessarily a bad thing. Shows a good mentality that he is willing to fight for his place in the team but obviously he is being pushed out the door.
Or Juve just think to themselves — feck Inter. Let them be stuck with Icardi, and we buy a more reliable stable striker and send Dybala where he’s not going to come back to haunt us.
Mertens has ALWAYS been a natural in wide areas. Same as Insigne. I dont remember either of them ever operating in Sarri's 3 man midfield Like say a Hamsik did. They are also both natural wide forwards. Mertens too also became his center forward. Which CR7 will be at Juve
I disagree But indeed we shall see how it pans out
That would be the most logical move. They would also avoid the backlash from their supporters sending one of their favourites to a rival.
So, Juve don't really rate Dybala then. They will be left with Ronaldo, Madzukic and Hugain who are oldish (33+) and want to sell Kean and Dybala who are relatively young. They must really rate Lukaku. Something doesn't quite add up and the cited tactical reasons are not so convincing. There must be something we don't know.
exactly. Makes zero sense to do business with Inter. I bet Patarici is laughing his ass off instead.
Look we’re getting Dybala for fecking a donkey. Look maybe it’s a bit of an exaggeration to call Lukaku a donkey but he clearly doesn’t fit our plans and he must clearly fit Juve’s.
Dybala's goal return is basically as good as Lukaku's and he's a far, far more versatile player. We're essentially replacing Lukaku's goals and getting a much better overall player to boot.
