I'd take 2 of Rugani, Douglas Costa, and Bentancour, that'd be sweet.

Imo it's Dybala's indecision that's made us walk away. Woodward's briefing about player's demands is just rubbish face saving. The man literally salivates at the prospect of signing big marketable players. I believe the demands were acceptable.
That's another matter obviously but you're right. I was just suggesting players that could be of use to us.

What a colossal rip off for Juventus that is. I bet City can't believe they've agreed that deal!
Whatever it might have been, walking away in either case would be the right thing to do.. And it wasnt a lot of time that was wasted.
My point is, blaming the club for this is pointless.. We have genuine reasons to complain.. This is one of the few things they have done right.
These 2 plus £30M wouldn't be too bad but we will still be relying on the unreliable Rashford and Martial for goals.
Sell Lukaku for 50m if it's on the table. We're not getting anymore than that next season, probably considerably less!
Shocking that we are set to have yet another summer of disappointment. A club of this size and stature just happily accepting mediocrity.
Never would have guessed at the start of the summer that a player such as Dybala would have been available but to leave it so late and he seemingly being our one and only option for attacking signings is outrageous.
Club is just continually regressing and it’s painful to watch. As others have said, writing was on the way when the likes of Jones got contract renewals.

Another transfer where we lost battle for player and now we are trying to present it like we are those who decided to quit.
Yeah definitely. Bernadeschi would be quality in Ole's system with his work rate and versatility.
Dybala reluctance to join United has out United off and has seen United back further and further away from the swap deal. Which leaves any deal for Mandzukic dead in the water too.
Inter have entered back into the race to sign him and are considering they're negotiating strategy, plan to make a new offer soon. They are taking the latest development in Dybala/Lukaku deal as a positive for them and want to get Conte his man.
Juventus haven't given up on a deal with United for Lukaku and also think theres still a chance Dybala could leave but are also trying to come up with a deal that would suit United involving other players.
Latest developments have frustrated Lukaku.
^That's what I more or less got from translating it.
Oh I fully agree with that, despite really wanting Dybala here. It's a good thing to walk away from this shitshow.
If Bruno isn't signed after this, that would be a big feck up.
And darmian stays and collects his wages for another year.

Sandro, Pjanic, Betancour and Douglas Costa would all strengthen us.
Good to see both teams going all out for Lukaku.
This type of propaganda from the club will be meaningless when our league position will be there for all to see come December. They have given Ole no chance to succeed.
They signed Cancelo for 40m.. He has been linked with a move away for months.
getting 30m back + a backup option for both flanks is not the worst deal.
Not a great deal either.
Cancelo is another one of those players the caf seems to overrate.
Juve are extremely dominant is a pretty average league. They make a lot of players look better than they are.
I wonder what Mandzukic is feeling right now. He must be furious.
So basically from that they're pretty much going to tell Dybala his Juve career is over in the hopes that he goes? I don't see that happening to be fair.
It's going to take a miracle for him to agree to join us now, it's not happening
I was excited about the idea of seeing him in a shirt but if he wasn't delighted to be joining then I'm happy the club has made the right call in pulling the plug.
Not everything has to be used as a stick to beat the club with. This was a deal it made sense to take as far as we could because the upside was huge but if he wanted too much money or wasn't jumping at the opportunity then it's also encouraging that we've learned to walk away.
I said at the beginning of the summer that if we could sort the defence, keep our midfield intact and ship out the deadwood, I'd be happy going into the new season. I'm pissed off we've lost Herrera and a bit frustrated that we've not been a bit more ruthless in terms of sales but I'm really happy with the signings we've made and the youngsters coming through.
I think we'll surprise a few people this season. Fitness and a preseason under Ole will be worth a decent handful of points and I fancy Martial and Rashford to really step things up.

And already lost Fellaini and Herrera from the midfield. Can’t believe we have sold 2 central midfielders and not even bought one.
Wait what would be value of Danilo be in that deal? 30 mil?
I wouldn't. I'm not sure I can take Longstaff, and I'd probably end up walking funny for a week.
Cancelo is a great attacking fullback. I watched Juventus a lot last season and I think he's a quality player.
City are getting the better deal.
We had all fecking summer
Is Cancelo intended to be right or left back? Or flexible option for rotation on either side?
That Cancelo/Danilo deal is absurd.Bet Lukaku hates Dybala at this moment in time.
He's primarily a RB, not sure where it would leave Walker.
Briefed - by the sock puppet.
Him, Mandzukic and the Juve board.
City getting the job done.
This can't be said strongly enough. Four days til the window closes and we are pissing about with Dybala when we could have (potentially) made the deal with Inter and signed Eriksen or Bruno. The latter are rumors but even fecking Mcginn or Longstaff or Pepe or anyone... you get the point.
Ed had all fecking summer. Feck him.
We're not interested in Fernandes or we'd have signed him already. Been only a speculative interest according to the rumours. A player we're monitoring. Other teams have also said no to him. Like Pepe.
I'd take Sandro in a second. Shaw can't close down a winger and block a cross to save his life.
Just throwing this out there but if we still are playing 4-2-3-1, why not someone like David Brooks for the No 10 spot? He can also play on the right?
Seems like we've went from being close to Dybala & Fernandes to feck all.
