I recognise this point and it might be valid. Knowing how cunning Juve are though and also their generally brilliant record in the transfer market, I'd be very wary of accepting deals which look exceptionally good. No expert on Dybala but he he might not be the world class talent that many seem to believe he is. The other Juve forwards are 33+ y.o., the young one (Kean) was sold, why get rid of a world class attacking talent when he is about to enter his prime? There is something fishy in that deal.

Agree with most of this but james is not an acceptablr attacking addition alone.
I think people are annoyed abour dybala because that was a chance offer. Other than him we've gone in for no other decent attacking options. Its baffling. Shows a total lack of ambition by the club.
I think he's probably not developed into the player they thought he would and he doesn't fit in the side with Ronaldo, which was the issue last year. It's the same at international level with Messi. He's one of those players that's hard to fit in the modern game I think.
Juve really have put all their eggs in the Ronaldo basket though, if he gets injured or drops off then they're screwed.
Yet he finished with a very decent input. If we werent so shit, then maybe players wouldnt be so fecking miserable.
I don't understand, so who were targeting before Juve stepped in with their Dybala offer? We should still be getting someone for that postion as he was never in our original plans.
See! We ARE intersted in Bruno...

There are plenty of South American’s living in Manchester playing for the other side & getting on fine.
The truth is the atmosphere in & outside of the club is dreadful for any ‘star’ player.
This summer has been shambolic.
Eriksen would help share the creative burden with Pogba. Shame there's no chance Spurs sell to us this late in the window.
It is possible if they get that Lo Celso, I reckon.
I wouldn't say there's no chance. Eriksen only has one year left on his contract and Spurs are looking at Lo Celso and Fernandes.

We have a scout that goes to all Portuguese top matches, it's nothing new. I guess we've watched him closely and decided he's not got what it takes to go up a level.See! We ARE intersted in Bruno...

These swap deals we are being offered are amazing. Juventus want us to take their pensioners and Madrid think Rodriguez is somehow worth almost the equivalent of Pogba. It's like us offering Matic for Casemiro and Pereira for Pjanic.

That offer
Is this a call to arms or something?
I was thinking along the same lines, it's like they're trying to make everything about football a military exercise.
Depends on how you look at it of course
Sad times. If we slightly capitalised on the situation of Arsenal and Chelsea, we would easily make top 4.
It would make sure we'd get that sweet sponsorship money for years to come.
I'm still surprised by our poor performance this window.
While believing in youth is commendable, it's insane to think Greenwood, Gomes, Chong,... will step up and have an immediate impact.
They need guidance and time to grow.
Is Ed in the T.A. I wonder.
Aaah, he is so happy, good for him.Tweet

To monitor, however, the situation of the Argentine in these hours, as for Juventus it is a player outgoing.
I'm reading rumors from Italy that the fallout with Dybala has nothing to do with salary, desire to play for or us and least of all being Argie - it's agent fees and image rights.
Agent fees are big part of why we lost out on Hazard, no? More concerning is that our commercial interest trumps the sporting side if the image rights are why this deal fails. Read that there's a difference structure to it in Italy vs United who owns most rights or something?
Point being - the English media spin is rather sinister and far from the truth.
How do you know which story is true and which isn't?
I take rumors for what they are, rumors. But I like to consider all rumors together instead of just one set of them.
The truth, however, is out there. I just don't know where.
What does this mean?
Despite us pulling out Juventus still consider Dybala a player they want to leave
To whom? No clubs need him enough to fork out the funds required, apart from us. Only way they get him out is if they convince him to lower his demands and join us.
Paulo Dybala and Alex Sandro showed up this morning at the Continassa to carry out medical tests and then make themselves available to Sarri. To monitor, however, the situation of the Argentine in these hours, as for Juventus it is a player outgoing.
He's saying juventus still want to sell dybala
I might be in the minority guy I think it's a good call to cancel the dybala deal. What's the point paying someone 300k a week and then having them sulk.
We need committed and hungry players, yes they need to have quality but more important is the desire to succeed at this club.
We need committed and hungry players, yes they need to have quality but more important is the desire to succeed at this club.
We are woefully short of quality and will be absolutely dominated against the likes of City and liverpool, I'm talking 35% possession dominated, but hey at least we will be a hungry team with few actual ball players.
I don't think people are annoyed at the fact we're cancelling Dybala, more the fact we're briefing we will sell Lukaku and not replace him.
I'm personally hoping it's a negotiating technique to tell clubs we'd like a replacement but aren't desperate for one so won't be ripped off. Gotta admit I'm worried about his just not spending the money though.
They’ll need to deal with his brothers demands/expectations then. Showing all the inexperience you would expect.
He's had some posts on his page over the Dybala saga, click bait and milking it. Suppose they only have a few more days of doing it with United.
