We won't get anything close to 100m with the wages they're on.Neves and DeJong in the middle of the park could give us more balance and flair.
We can get both for 100M (The money we get on Martial/Perrera/Baily/AWB/Axel/Henderson) could help funding this and it will fix our midfield for years.
Totally agree.I’d rather have them two than just FDJ. I like Neves a lot.

So you think FDJ is turd?Totally agree.
Barca have sold some absolute turds of late.
I don't think Barcelona sell good players.So you think FDJ is turd?
Fabregas? Alexis Sanchez? Pedro? Messi? It's been well established why they are OK with selling De Jong, I wouldn't think negatively on De Jong for it.I don't think Barcelona sell good players.
That wouldn't fix anything. Two deep like playmaker in one team wouldn't make sense. Sure one is more of a quarterback style player and the other who knits things together but I think someone more physically robust will be a better partner for FDJ. Neves is sluggish.Neves and DeJong in the middle of the park could give us more balance and flair.

Exactly. United will be complete idiots if they sign FDJ for 80 million and let two PL proven players like Raphinha and Neves go to Barcelona for same amount. Unsurprisingly United are.I’d rather have them two than just FDJ. I like Neves a lot.

Not really. The PL proven players aren't anything special. I'd consider Raphinha due to the fee but if we can get someone better in Antony its not an issue. This is more about whether we want two PL guys who can be decent options vs a genuinely excellent player who could have a big impact.Exactly.

there is no way united get Neves and Raphinha for 80m euros, no way at allExactly. United will be complete idiots if they sign FDJ for 80 million and let two PL proven players like Raphinha and Neves go to Barcelona for same amount. Unsurprisingly United are.
How is Antony better than Raphina?Not really. The PL proven players aren't anything special. I'd consider Raphinha due to the fee but if we can get someone better in Antony its not an issue.

I wouldn't know. I'm saying if we're going for a better player than it doesn't matter. And if ETH rates him highly and has managed him then it makes complete sense. As I've said posters whose view I value rate Antony as a much bigger talent.How is Antony better than Raphina?
So that’s a yes then. Strange opinionI don't think Barcelona sell good players.
That is delusional thinking with no basis in actual reality. There’s plenty of players that Barcelona have sold that did really well elsewhere.I don't think Barcelona sell good players.
I'm a little worried they are up for selling him, gives me Varane vibes.So that’s a yes then. Strange opinion
Delusional?That is delusional thinking with no basis in actual reality. There’s plenty of players that Barcelona have sold that did really well elsewhere.
I think if we do the same to Frenkie it will be equally bad.Agreed.
Neves defending a large space in a high defensive line against the opponents transition would end badly, and opposition coaches would also target him.
Neves would be best suited in a team that either gives him the protection of a inverted fullback and DM in a high line, or he joins a team that sets out to defend in numbers in a low to mid-block and looks to react on the counter attack.
First of all - FDJ wont cost £80 million - and second - on what planet do you think we could sign Raphinha and Neves for £80 million ? First we have to persuade Leeds to sell us Raphinha - ehm...that wont happen - and if they did agree to do it, there is no way we would get him for less than £50 million. And second - why would Wolves sell Neves for anything less than £50 million ? More likely they will ask for £60-70 million. So let's more realistically say that they would cost almost 50% more than the sum you mention (if we manage to persuade Leeds to sell Raphinha)Exactly. United will be complete idiots if they sign FDJ for 80 million and let two PL proven players like Raphinha and Neves go to Barcelona for same amount. Unsurprisingly United are.
It’s quite clear why they want to sell. For his wages they think they can squeeze a couple inI'm a little worried they are up for selling him, gives me Varane vibes.
With you tbh. Barca willing to sell plus stories ever since he's gone there that he's not been a flop but certainly disappointing.I'm a little worried they are up for selling him, gives me Varane vibes.
I've never been amazed by him.With you tbh. Barca willing to sell plus stories ever since he's gone there that he's not been a flop but certainly disappointing.
You can only do that in a high defensive line if you make concessions for a player like de Jong, if the idea is to utilise him as the single pivot. And that would be to invert the fullbacks or else the defensive structure will be non existent on the turn over in a approach that requires the last line of defense to defend high up the pitch. So a double pivot with a physically robust player next to de Jong, would be the way to go and we'd better control the game with and without the ball.I think if we do the same to Frenkie it will be equally bad.
Yes the idea that Barcelona don’t sell good players is definitely one without a basis in reality. They literally let Messi go last year. Frenkie may or may not be all that but it’s not because of Barcelona’s willingness to sell him, which is all about their finances and not his quality or lack thereof.Delusional?
not doing an imaginary deal, which is not even possible anyway, is one of the harsher criticisms of the club in recent yearsExactly. United will be complete idiots if they sign FDJ for 80 million and let two PL proven players like Raphinha and Neves go to Barcelona for same amount. Unsurprisingly United are.
A 34 year old Messi with his best years behind him demanding an absolute fortune to stay, who do they willingly sell at the the peak of their powers fundamental to the team?Yes the idea that Barcelona don’t sell good players is definitely one without a basis in reality. They literally let Messi go last year. Frenkie may or may not be all that but it’s not because of Barcelona’s willingness to sell him, which is all about their finances and not his quality or lack thereof.
…unless they have to in order to hold off financial ruin…I don't think Barcelona sell good players.
I’d prefer 2 cm, cb and either a rw or rb not sure which one is the most needed.Honestly if the club is able to do Neves, FDJ/ some other CM and Antony this summer, i'd be more than happy with that. They'd address big big needs but I highly doubt they'll be to sign all 3.
