Personally think he'll sign for Chelsea and Rose will go to City, hopefully Shaw can turn it around.
Alex Sandro | On the market in January

Think Sandro wants Chelsea move.
Reports coming out in Italian media that Juve have made an enquiry for Roma left back Emerson Palmieri. They already have Asamoah as a LB so the acquisition of Emerson would definitely pave way for the departure of Alex Sandro. They also tried to bring back Spinazzola from loan but that didn't work out for some reason. I reckon Alex Sandro will head to the EPL for approx 60m euros.
Euros..?
It does feel as though Juve are keen to cash in on Sandro, if there is any substance to these latest media reports..!?!
I think in terms of value, the crazy way the transfer market has gone these past couple of years, it seems a reasonable fee for a player that would be rated in the World's top 3 LBs, and a player regarded in the same bracket as Pogba.
It would be a truly sensational signing if United could get him, imagine United's left hand side of Sandro, Pogba & Martial...
That is genuinely World Class...!!
Does he have his heart set on Chelsea though....
Valencia's injury might spur us on to push hard for Sandro in January.
With him we'd certainly be improving the first XI. I hope it happens.
If we sign him that'd sort our LB position for next 5 years, will be interesting to see if Chelsea push us for his signature considering Alonso has been playing well again this season.
It would be an extremely surprising move in January: the player is not as unsettled as journos are claiming loud, he even played yesterday and quite well. June is a different matter, though.
Think he's fairly avg to be honest not interested at those type of fees.
Im glad that atleast we are interested in reinforcing during the winter window. Last 3 winter windows were meh.
Why would City splash another 40-50m on Rose when they have Mendy and Danilo for the LB position with Delph as last resort (and doing an admirable job too)? Makes little sense to me.
Rose might be tempted by the money, but unlike Walker he's not guaranteed to arrive and be 1st option.
Also we should go all out for Sandro. Chelsea would be signing a world beater and we will get a crock in Rose.
Pep has already commented publicly that he could sign a new LB in January, so I wouldn't them out of splashing another £40m or more.
Because they can, it's pocket change for them. I guess you must have missed Pep's interview after beating Spurs, he was beaming with joy with the quality of squad at his disposal and thanked owners multiple times. If he wants two LBs, they'll buy him two.
Please watch more football
Every fan thinks their players won't leave their clubs... until they leave.
Please could you name 5 other LBs that are better than fairly average...
Alaba, Marcelo, Alba, Rodriguez, Guerreiro, Azpilicueta, Young
If Juventus are happy to cash in at €60 million then we should snap their arm off seeing as they wanted more than £73 million last summer.
World class, played at the highest level, wants to leave apparently, great going forward, great defensively and approaching his prime years so it’s an absolute no brainer seeing as the alternative is a winger (Young), a right back who’s awful as a right back (Darmian), two players who get thrown there because they’re left footed (Rojo and Blind) or the only left back at the club but who isn’t trusted by Jose (Shaw).

Rodriguez, Guerreiro and Azpilicueta are definitely not better left-backs than Sandro. Sandro is arguably better than Alba as well.Alaba, Marcelo, Alba, Rodriguez, Guerreiro, Azpilicueta, Young
Reality is, to keep up with City, we will have to overspend for instant results. If it’s progression we’re looking at, then it’s obscene amounts.
Alaba, Marcelo, Alba, Rodriguez, Guerreiro, Azpilicueta, Young
Alaba, Marcelo and Alba are unattainable due to the clubs they are playing for. Rest are not on his level, Azpilicueta plays as a CB under Conte.
Completely missed Young in there, I hope you're joking. A top fullback can completely transform a side and add another dimension to any team, you only need to look at the difference Walker has made at City.
nah, it just makes no footballing sense: he is not exactly languishing in jail just now and has a better chance to win something staying than going, he couldn't even play the champions league for another team this year
The first 2 in your list are the only ones on Sandro's level or better. You also forgot Luis. Azpi is as good if not better defensively but no patch on sandro going forward. The other 4 names are just pisstake and make your post tough to take seriously.Alaba, Marcelo, Alba, Rodriguez, Guerreiro, Azpilicueta, Young
I don't pretend to know whether or not he wants to leave in January. Maybe this is pure speculation or his camp is feeding this to journos, or even the club. Could be that Juve are trying to get money in the bank sooner rather than later? All I know is I want United to go for him if it's in any way feasible.
You think Darmian would be part of any potential deal?
Well in January there are not many instances where top players move but his case is different, I was on Juve forum the other day and he was being slated for not looking arsed or bothered and being a shadow of player he was last season, there were few who suggested that Di Sciglio is playing better than him this season! I don't see why there would be a such drop in quality of performances, maybe player isn't happy he didn't get his move?
Anyways that post was more in jest, fact is we're desperate for top quality in several areas and he'd plug one major hole in our squad. Pro of having him for second half of PL outweighs the con of not having him for few CL rounds. We're not likely to go too deep in CL anyway.
As far as him for winning stuff, Juventus are better equipped to win silverware (major ones) than us. So if we are taking that route then it'd be a step down anyway but clearly something is up if player is not happy.
Filipe Luis is quite old though, anyways even without debating quality. Likes of Alaba, Alba, Azpi and Marcelo are unattainable to us. So don't know who better is available in the market like that poster is suggesting.
Did I read he can't get into the Juve team? How come?
There is no one better that's available, yes. We're dealing with someone who thinks Young is better though so..
ok the point is Allegri is seeing a few players not being hungry enough after so many years at the top, that's why he benched higuain, mandzukic, sandro and now dybala; in return, juve now seem solid enough with a new 4-3-3 system and is not conceding for six games in a row. now we need to agree what and who to believe: journos and agents stirring the pot after a couple games on the bench or the seasonal up & down that comes with playing 60 games a year while going for the treble every fecking year since 2015... all can happen but in january, before the season gets into the deciding games and actually downgrading your prospects for silverware and the WC call? all can happen and will happen if due, it just makes little sense in January also for Juve if we want to talk football seriously, there should really be something big under the carpet and I am as curious as all of you to understand better
In no universe is Sandro better than Alba, he's been first choice at Juve for about 1 season.
I wasn't asked to name the 5 most attainable LB's I was asked to name 5 better. Young was obviously a joke. I know how important a top fullback is to modern teams and am all for United bringing in a LB but for 50m he needs to be elite.
If we're going to base this on 1 seasons worth of football and people are OK with throwing Sandro ahead of Alba then Mendy is a better LB too.
Did he? I must have missed it. Fair enough then
Why wouldn't they? Danilo hasn't been that great and Delph has a mistake in him. Pep is ruthless in the transfer market and will spend on what position he needs to. It's like asking why they'd spend £50m on Walker when he's been solid for them and an improvement, or £35m on another keeper. If you're not ruthless in the market, you get left behind.
Holy shit, £60m for a FB.
Since it is us though it is probably in Euros, but will be reported as Pounds, with wages for the duration of the contract added in.

How old is he, last thing we need is paying £60m for a 29 year old?
Ahh not too bad then, thanks.
Not if he signs for Chelsea
The rule of direct reporting of euros as pounds and all bonuses included is only for us.
Had a discussion with a City fan in the City thread that genuinely meant that the fee for Pogba was 120m for example.
the chavs on twitter reckon he is going to them
Yeah, just like a 35m euro lindelof was 42m pound player this summer.
