Easy to search Google mate but only a couple of weeks ago (might have been a few weeks) I saw lots of reports of Leeds turning down £65 million bids and Raphinha reportedly saying that Barca is his dream move but Barca can’t even afford to register players that came on a free let along spend big.

None of those reports are reliabe

Because they haven’t been reported by Romano ? We don’t know what is reliable and what isn’t especially considering 99% of people here don’t look into who’s reliable for Leeds news, the fact there’s been quite a few reports of that amount and someone else on here mentioned it as well as me suggests there may be some truth to it as there are more journalists out there then just Romano mate.

Romano isn't a breaker of news. The majority of his information is, at best, second hand.
 
I think Raphinha has more consist mood than Antony.

Like Sancho. Super super skills. One on one. But Sancho is needing a lot of time to adapt.

Raphinha mood and personalities are like Bruno and Diaz. Immediately impact for Leeds in his first season in premier league. Like Bruno and Diaz.

And Raphinha did play 433 under Bielsa. Same formation as Ajax 433. So Raphinha will not need time to adapt to ETH Dutch and total football style.

Raphinha is both premier league and 433 Ajax football proven.

And as i have suggest before.

Offer DVB in the deal or let them loan Amad Diallo for a season in the deal. Diallo might suit playing for a team and club that doesnt have top 4 as ambition or premier league title.

DVB + 40 mill £ + Amad Diallo one year loan deal for Raphinha = potential transfer fee value = 60 £ mill.

DVB = 20 mill £ euro

Or if Leeds need a CB in Eric Bailly. To get the transfer fee down. Find a win win situation both for Leeds and United.


And last of all. Raphinha deliver and pass the ball quicker than Antony. Antony use to hold the ball a bit longer. Antony love showboating here and there. Minus for a football player. You dont play for the gallery. You play for efficient football with the end product as your goal. Create chances and scoring goals. Your only main focus. Not showboating. Maybe when your team is up 3-0 or 4-0. Then you take off and lower the intensity and have a more relax.

First i was impress of Sancho too. Both mentality and personality. How you will face the toughness. Might is more important than super skills. I think i have learn from that mistake.

Players like Luiz Diaz mentality. You know what you get from those players with steady and strong mentality and characters.

The idea united get Raphinha for anywhere near 40-50m is laughable With them selling Phillips too do they need the money>

Swap deals never happen and no way are they giving us 40m worth for DVB. Can't see why they would want Diallo either. Leeds have already come out and said they want straight up cash in upfront payment. We can argue about how much depending what reports you read, but with them already selling Philips in all likelihood they don't need the cash. If people are hating waiting for deals to be done, you can guarantee a Raphinha deal would certainly be drawn out.

Leeds play nothing like Ajax, so whilst its 433 it is not the same at all.

If we can get 40m for DVB why haven't we got that deal already, because his value is nearer 20m right now.

Why would Leeds accept Diallo or Donny for one of their most productive players?

People just need to stop thinking that clubs will accept our rejects for their players. This isn't fifa.

Is it significant? Four of these players have been irregular squad players. Pogba has been largely injured and Greenwood while promising wasn't a solid performer(some people may say the same thing about Pogba).

I'd say between the four, it's pretty significant.
 
Is there any truth in the rumours that we are going for Anthony? Looks like a 1+1 rumour spread by the press just because ETH is an ex Ajax coach.
 
Verweij was just speculating, no ?

Again, I can't see anything in this-this summer.

As we won't be properly competitive for a while, we could instead collate a bunch of players who go by one named "ordinary" names.

We already have Fred.
Add in Ant(h)ony, Malcolm and I'm sure there must be a Frank, Steve and Dave out there.
 
Custis cant tell his elbow from his arse. Goldbridge is more reliable
 


Verweij saying it would take an offer to good to refuse for Antony
 
If Custis has gone balls in on this then I think there's probably something to it. Exciting!
 
Custis is shit stirrer but he has some decent scoop from time to time.
 
Custis is good for Utd though, isn’t he? like I’ve always thought it’s ignore the Sun unless it’s him, in which case there may be some truth.

Was he the one that first reported our British strategy under Ole, I can remember first reading that on the sun
 
Lets see if it is picking up pace tomorrow. Would be very surprised to be honest that Antony would be our first signing.
 
This will either be outright rejected from more informed sources by midnight or we'll get the : United are long-term admirers of Anthony but a deal is far from being completed.
