Who are they expecting to buy him? A small country?

Juventus reached the CL final, Monaco reached the Semi final, no English club got close so how can you say that? What matters is that the player plays for a club that can compete to win the CL and the League title there are clubs in both France (PSG) and Italy (Juventus) that can do that.Fair points, but I think every league other than England and Spain are a step down. France and Italy are about a step down, Germany and Portugal two steps down.
I can see Jose not wanting Ronaldo.Simply bullshit. There's no way anybody wouldn't be keen on Ronaldo. He knows feck all.
Didn't Jorge Mendes say there were already offers from the Premier League? I'm sure he informed clubs before he leaked it to he media so United have probably known this for longer than we haveHis tweets on this are pointless as he won't know anything about Mourinho or Woodward's thought processes since this story literally just broke.

No thanks.
But Jose is a huge pragmatist, and any supposed fall out didn't influence his goal scoring numbers and the team's performance.I can see Jose not wanting Ronaldo.
They fell out at Real with Jose feeling that Ronaldo thought he was a know-it-all and didn't want to follow instructions.
Jose has an ego as big as Ronaldo's and simply won't pander to him.
I hope Jose is lacking imagination.Imagine if we spent 50 million on fecking Dier instead of going for Fabinho.
It would be such a ridiculous moveImagine if we spent 50 million on fecking Dier instead of going for Fabinho.
It's the mad scenario, that we generally wouldn't dare going to Tottenham for one of their players as they'd ask incredible money, and then we end up asking about someone who wouldn't be in even the top 6 you'd go for!Imagine if we spent 50 million on fecking Dier instead of going for Fabinho.
And the value of Ronaldo is 150-200m too. He's better player than Kane in every department. Only Kane is obviously much younger.They're asking 50m for Dier and people still think they'll accept 120m only for Kane.
They'll value Kane for about 150-200m or so.
Pretty sure we will buy this guy, 50m won't scare Woody.Tweet

Yup, we'll give them the money to buy FabinhoPretty sure we will buy this guy, 50m won't scare Woody.
Luckily he won't have to play Pogba in the league if he joins us :P
Is that a lyric from the song?Imagine if we spent 50 million on fecking Dier instead of going for Fabinho.
Shall i link you to his performance against France the other night?If Mourinho wants Dier more than Fabinho I don't see the problem.
I know the responses I'll get for saying this but that's not a bad price in this marketTweet

Thanks!Nothing new in Perisic and Morata.
Ousmane Dembele has been linked to us as he's been liking United tweets specifically the Lindelof signing. He's also been linked to Barcelona.
Dortmund are stacked in his position, for the right price they'd let him leave no doubt.Thanks!
I would love Dembele at Utd - just can't see it happening but you never know.
Which is why we need a DoF to rein in the excesses of these managers. We are in the midst of clearing Van Gaal's mess where he left us with a threadbare attack yet our supposed messiah wants us to spend a near world record fee on an unproven striker, 50m on an average DM who has never won anything and another 50m on a shit winger from the deadbit league that the Serie A has become whilst City are sweeping up World Class potential with relative ease and paying reasonable fees. Unless common sense returns to our recruitment we will remain shit on the pitch and in constant rebuild mode.Yep, the 40m quoted a few months ago was rubbish, as i said. I also said he would cost 50m or more and we will be dumb enough to go for him. Tragic whats happening right in front of us
Thats why I dont believe it. No way is Levy going to be that reasonableI know the responses I'll get for saying this but that's not a bad price in this market
Yep, we will be rebuilding every 3 years at this rate and spendig record fees on players not worth half the money. So frustratingWhich is why we need a DoF to rein in the excesses of these managers.

I'm glad you went first.I know the responses I'll get for saying this but that's not a bad price in this market

If the figure is correct and if he really is a priority signing for Mourinho (over Fabinho for example) then this will be a transfer that happensI'm glad you went first.
I was honestly expecting £60-70m due to him being a key player for them. Levy. English tax. Rival club. Considering they got him for £4m from Sporting a couple a years back, that's a tidy profit. I still think it's less likely than Ronaldo, mostly for the reasons already stated. (£50m might be plucked out of the air also).
Could be worse, cough cough John Stones cough.What an awful way to spend £50m that would be.
The sad thing is that we are so far behind our rivals and spending ridiculous figures on average talent doesn't do anything to close the gap. It would be so like us to give Spurs the 50m to pursue a much better player who we will be drooling over in a couple of years. Something needs to be done otherwise we will bleed money for little to no improvement.Yep, we will be rebuilding every 3 years at this rate and spendig record fees on players not worth half the money.

he is, he did? Haven't seen anything. Great! Ed, go get him!Nothing new in Perisic and Morata.

It has been awhile since I laughed out loud like I have when I read your post. Thanks.Oh dear, that's a terrible shame, too expensive. Now, isn't there that guy that plays for Monaco, lets go have a wee look at him...
He's not though. He wins the ball back and presses, but there's been times where he's played a ball through behind the defence this season. His passing is fairly good. It's not at the highest level, but he's hardly useless at it.All i know is that a midfield of Dier, Herrera and Pogba would be extremely dull when in possesion with both Dier and Hrrera relatively useless at anything other than winning the ball back. If teams manage to neutralise Pogba, they will neutralise us.
Yeah he's not totally useless going forwards on the break but against packed defences he offers nothing other than defensive work. Hopefully Pereira gets a chance to shine next season for some games against the minnows, i think he's a better player in possession of the ball.He's not though.
