Milenkovic for £100m? that's news to me.
Issa Diop
- Thread starter IrishRedDevil
- Start date
Yup my point exactly, there always will be - we just need to be better at getting them ey.
Luke Shaw on our won. Doesn’t mean a lot.
It's all just made up crap to get people to tune in, no one from our club is gong to call them on it.
Same goes for all the rubbish about Maguire's valuation recently.

Issa Diop wouldn't make much sense. We need a centre back who's good in possession. Diop is more of a smalling type.
Get the feeling Rojo would be player going to West Ham, they have a few South Americans in their squad.
People seem to get shocked by valuations every year. Why would West Ham sell for £45m? What are they going to do with it.
I agree. Though thinking about it the two I mentioned might actually be bad examples because I suspect both of them would have quite high fees actually.
£45 million plus a defender worth probably £15 million. So £60 million for this nobody.
Just pay £20 million more and get Maguire if De Ligt is not an option.

I'm starting to get a little nervous now. The transfer strategy is clearly not any different. Probably getting blown off by some targets and for others clubs are taking the Michael because they know it's us they are dealing with.
I really want these parasites and their yes man Woodward to feck off forever. Please can we have some people running the club who aren't a total and utter joke.

Now thats something I would like to see..
Rojo and Jones would love it at West Ham.

£45m was always going to be rejected. I’d pay £70m for him. He isn’t a ball-player, but he can certainly improve a bit in that area. He’s potentially a Van Dijk of a defender for me. Great size and athleticism. It’s rare you can get it all, people seem to want a Sumo wrestler with the touch of a ballerina.
Yokozuna would've been perfect for the role, but he's sadly retired.. Not many balls would've got past that fella..
And Konaté, I'm sure that every poster that follow closely other leagues will have players to mention. Diop wasn't hidden.
It means the players voted for them. Therefore Shaw had the most respect for what he did this season as does Rice. So not Diop
I agree. Though thinking about it the two I mentioned might actually be bad examples because I suspect both of them would have quite high fees actually.
Ha, maybe so but the point stands. Hell I'd go 50-60m for either of those two ahead of Maguire at 80m any day of the week.
It’s not exactly rational, but what puts me off Diop is the fact that Jose singled him out for praise after we played West Ham last season.
I'd have thought Tah, Romagnoli and Milenkovic at least would likely be more expensive but of course, it's all guesswork.
Not seen anything of Konate but have seen his name here and there, what kind of a CB is he?
For the record Tah would be my first choice this year, would combine well with Lindelof I reckon.
I know he played the chuckle brothers during his tenure with us and the Bailly signing hasn't worked out, but there's still not many managers I'd trust identifying a good centre back more than I would José.
Konate is a quick imposing CB with good concentration for the position. His only weakness is on the ball where his passing needs to improve.
I like Tah and he looks a player that could develop into a real dominant force because he has all the attributes required for a top CB.
Jose identified Milenkovic from Fiorentina according to Di Marzio.
Was class against Spurs.. but still very inexperienced.
Willing to put a grand on us not signing him and Diop being forgotten about in a week on redcafe.
Few people mentioning his ability on the ball.
Looks ok here in this video.

Agree. From a neutral perspective, maybe some United fans shouldn't get so hung up on the price and value of potential signings.
Liverpool broke 2 records to sign Alisson and Van Dijk. Fabinho was almost £50m. Nobody cared about price or value for money when they were lifting the Champions League trophy.
There's no such thing as cheap fixes or signings now for big clubs, if they want good players they have to pay top money, and that's what United have to get over and start paying the fees, otherwise they can expect more seasons like last season and a continual failure to improve the first team during transfer windows.
The only thing I can say for this link is at least it’s not Maguire.
Why not go for Konate or Upamecano.
Much better footballers than Diop.

I think we are obsessed with Premier league proven targets. We have a team full of premier league experience which has got us nowhere fast.
They would be expensive too.
But they would be worth it.
I like Milenkovic from what I've seen, not seen shedloads of him... few game highlights, Youtube. Decent pace, good tackling/timing, good in the air.
not see anything about £100m and doubt Fiorentina would hold out for anywhere near that much. Wouldn't be the instant player Koulibaly or Slabhead would be, but if he improves/settles, would be younger and cheaper.
Jose is arguably the best defensive manager in the history of football. Just because he fecked up the man management side of things at United, that doesn't mean he's lost his eye for ability. Knowledge and understanding doesn't suddenly disappear in your mid-fifties.
he is very young like 22..played for France under all youth levels..potential for to be a France center back but west jam paid 22 million for him
so maybe he costs 50-60 million. Maynot be bad idea if he has the potential.

That's because they had their sister company, NOTW hack into phones to double check on the sources.
barely even heard of this guy... I guess that's how low we have sunk
It says more about you than the club. Diop has been a standout youth player and was a key member of the U19 team that won the Euro in 2016.
It says a lot about the mentality of a lot of our supporters lately.
Why was £45m always going to be rejected? They paid £22m for him a year ago. Offering a player on top of that or going up to £70m is quite mad, and just sheer greed from West Ham if that’s what they want.
I like him. Physically complete, which is relatively rare. And you’re right, you can’t get everything.
Maybe they want to keep their best players and progress. Their best XI is not far behind us. £45m doesn't get a lot these days, they won't get every signing like Diop right.
