[An Irish Red]

If he says it then it's usually true. Good news for us this; he'd improve us considerably.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

I think it's just Inter. Probably United's name thrown in by the agent for extra money

 

[SwansonsTache]

Bouhfasi reporting MUFC interest and negotiations, probably means it is 4realzies.

 

[Silas]

How many years are left on his contract?

 

[Von Mistelroum]

50m Max. Surely....he's worth more potentially, but he's being dumped from RM so I can't see it being 70m.

If United sign James, their excuse for not signing Griezmann (need to prioritize a #9) looks stupid

 

[King.of.Red]

after we failed to get griezman, I'll be happy if we can get him.

 

[Hanky panky]

Bouhfasi is best in bisnes. Same level with Di Marzio, or even more reliable. I don't say we will sign him but almost sure there is something going on.

€70m is about £60m. In the day and age where VVD is going to cost similar, that's not unreasonable.

We already know that excuse is bollocks so it doesn't matter.

He is one of the most reliable and connected journos around after Di Marzio - this is ON!

70 is way too much for a non starter. 45 is more of a reasonable price for this player.

 

[Klopp_De_Klown]

I can't see it being 70m.

Its euro in the tweet, assuming thats the number you quoted.

Either way they wont get the price they want.

 

[prateik]

Am I the only one not keen?

Guess I'm just done with the idea of paying Madrid loads of money for players they no longer need.. He is good.. but if there are others we can get, I'd rather do that.

That's a silly attitude. Real Madrid have some of the best players in the world, why wouldn't we want to sign their players?

 

[Offside]

Potentially quality to be fair.

 

[Klopp_De_Klown]

but if there are others we can get, I'd rather do that.

Like who?

I originally voted no but at the right price I would be all for it.

He is a goalscoring and assist machine, Mourinho seems hell bent on 4-2-3-1 and he is potentially the best #10 we could realistically get. We all love Mata, but let us be fecking realistic here, James is better.

Seeing as how he has expressed a wish to join us, and Real wants to get rid we should be rigid on the price though, no 70m euros bullshit, give them 50m euros at best - which would be a bargain in todays market.

Look up, at the top of the page. Or literally just read any page of this thread.

70 mil is a lot, hopefully if that is the figure, it is actually the figure ONLY IF all the bonuses kick in, sort of like Martial's 60mil.

 

[Wallez]

If Real say that they want 70 million euro for him, that is obviously not what they end up getting for him. They say 70 million, we offer 40, they say 60, we say 50, and the deal will be finalized around 55 million euros, which is around 48 million pounds. Good deal for everyone if it goes through.

 

[NickSantigo]

For me our problem last season and the season before is we are not scoring enough goals. Zlatan got 28 goals but the others aren't pitching in enough. Ideally we need our #10 and two wingers to be pitching in with between 10 and 15 league goals a season at a minimum. If he can do this then I think he'll be a good signing.

On a side note, does anyone think Jose may be looking to move Mata on if we sign do James?
Just a thought

 

[The Man Himself]

Always loved him as a player but I am not sure he is what we really need. He is an upgrade on Mata though. Also, what is the reason he wasn't in Zidane's plans often? Work ethic or something else?

 

[3KDré]

I really hope it is not true. Not liking the idea of Pogba in midfield 2 at all.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Someone needs to remind Woodward that Zlatan is injured again.

 

[Chrissypop]

Has anyone actually watched him last season? From what I have scene he is seriously one footed, can not take on his man and is a bit like Mata so I ask what does he offer us that Mata does not? this is no troll I have just always questioned our interest in this one as I personally just do not see the appeal.

 

[Dave46]

Simple, do not play Mhkitaryan

Simply you are wrong.

 

[ChaddyP]

I would give them 100 million package deal for both James and Morata. They can go off and buy Mbappe after that.

That would not be enough.

 

[ChaddyP]

That would not be enough.

for Mbappe? or for the James Morata Duo?

 

[R'hllor]

Please pick Inter.

 

[Dave46]

for Mbappe? or for the James Morata Duo?

For the duo. More like 120-130 Eur.

 

[An Irish Red]

Please pick Inter.

We have Fellaini, Lingard and Rashford in our front six right now; why you want a world class player to turn us down is baffling.

 

[ChaddyP]

For the duo. More like 120-130 Eur.

that seems way too much. That's basically over 50 Million pounds each for James and Morata. they are good players but not that fecking good.

 

[Kill 'em all]

Would be an immense addition to our attack, I cannot understand how anyone would think otherwise. Him and Morata and we're settled for goals from a central position.

 

[el3mel]

Please pick Inter.

Give us your replacement for players we can add to attack better than James.

 

[Dave46]

If it's 4-2-3-1, James and Morata would be a good deal.

Martial/Rashford/Miki-James/Miki/Mata-Miki/Lingard/Mata-Morata/Rashford.

 

[An Irish Red]

Would be an immense addition to our attack, I cannot understand how anyone would think otherwise. Him and Morata and we're settled for goals from a central position.

Especially with the attack we have right now. It's like someone turning down a sports car because they want to continue meandering about aimlessly in their rickety pushbike.

 

[ChaddyP]

We have Fellaini, Lingard and Rashford in our front six right now; why you want a world class player to turn us down is baffling.

I would like us to complete this deal. James is a big name, but wouldn't say he's world class
