I was thinking the same until @Raees pointed out at Jose's history of transfers. In the second year with Inter he signed almost all most important players who went to win the treble, including Motta, Sneijder, Milito. I guess it wouldn't be a big surprise.
Jose's Wish List...
- Thread starter Inigo Montoya
- Start date
This. I would be livid if we started the season with him as our CF. He is an important squad player but not someone we want to pin all our hopes on.
Or wonder if the surprise is Sanchez? Something Mourinho would do.
It was a fake quote.
One day.
Knowing us, it'll be when his powers have severely waned, yet we'll still pile in with a ludicrous bid and wages.
Probably 3-4 years time
Imagine if Zlatan was healthy where we could be next year. Mourinho would have signed Griezmann and Sanchez for LW/RW and laughed his way to the title. Instead now he'll only sign one of the two and be forced to add a target man.
Lol. I really like the GIF that goes with it
I am hoping Bale is on the list.
It's a perfect fit for 3 years or so.

1st on the wish list keep de gea.
for me Bale over Griezmann - Matuidi - Lindelof - and any right winger

Perisic looks the more likely. haven't you heard?
This is how I imagine Van Gaal would be yelling out his start-11 each week - in real life capslock
Yeap,he's not ready and its too much pressure on the lad.
Was the "surprise " quote bollox?
yeah but where is the actual source quote. Which interview was it because the ones where he was in Monaco did not mention that at all. Did I miss something?
Is Ronaldo coming home? Is it Mbappe? Giggs coming out of retirement? Give me something ffs!
I agree as well. I dont thnk it will happen though, hes not clinical enough. Hes nowhere near Kanes finishing. He needs 5-6 chances to put 1 away
FFS Forget about VG hes not here and hes never coming back. A bad signing.
Sanchez wouldnt of come anyway. Hes set his heart on Bayern. Still 50/50 with Griezmann
Amen to this..... a fit and flying Gareth Bale is absolutely made for Manchester United.
Just watch Real Madrid politics come into play!Bale will throw a hissy fit if he doesn't appear in CL Final,Madrid will then offer him to United provided we let them have DDG!
VVD, Hamez, Griezmann and Dier
be the 4 i'd guess, but where does that leave Perisic so what do I know.

Isn't he the guy who has been linked to us since the beginning of time, but the transfer never actually happens?
Is he the guy?
Griezmann and Lukaku for me Fabinho and Perisic would have us challenging in Europe and at home.
Jose loves and always plays with natural no9 so it is i presume lukaku.
He needs dmc so it is fabinho or bakayoko or somebody like them.
He wants top central defender . Varane maybe? Bonucci? I hope not keane.
He wants perisic as a winger.
So how griezmann fits in any of those options? He is not classic mourinho winger. He is not a striker. As no10 we have miki.
I am in dark here.

CB: Lindelof, Keane or Van Dijk
DM: Dier or Fabinho
Griezmann: Griezmann
CF: Belotti, Lukaku or Morata

Mkhitaryan isnt a no.10. He has played less in the no.10 role than Rooney and Rooney is a championship standard player. Mourinho would have played a younger Wayne Rooney as his no.10 for the whole season because he has tried to buy Wayne Rooney before.
Antoine Griezmann is a younger, smaller, more technical version of Wayne Rooney. If we get him he will be our no.10.
My feeling is we're going 4-4-2. Mourinho knows Rashford, our next star player, can't play alone upfront. So, we'd have Martial as Rashford's backup, plus Griezmann as second-striker and a poacher like Belotti also.
Lots of options out there. Neymar won't happen though.Griezmann sounds promising and Sanchez becoming available will be useful for any club who need to fill a void caused by a transferred striker on route to old Trafford.
Not bad choices although my personal preference would be no Keane,Dier or Lukaku,all over inflated prices and reputations(although who isn't?)
Matic is looking more probable as a holding midfielder,would love Bonucci at the back and Dries Mertens as striker on your list!
Not sure if this is anywhere else but Athletico wil defintely play hardball now

Griezman not coming will now throw the thread into panic!We will now go all out for a prove No9,please don't let it be Lukaku?100 million,are Everton sure?
If we lose DDG and Tony Martial in the same window then that would be a big blow. Replacing potential World Class in Martial with the nearly 30 year old Perisic makes no sense at all to me and points to José's previous failings of short-termism which blows up in his face after 3 seasons.
Look at what Martial has done already, at his age Perisic was toiling in the B team at Socheaux in France and being loaned to Division 1B Belgian teams.

I don't know how you have managed to spend 300 million there and yet still have a striker up front who scored five league goals last season.
I'm starting to think it's blank
Keane
Dier
Lukaku to Chelsea
Griezman stays
Morata to Milan
Belotti is the only available, but fecking Cairo wants 100 ml fecking euros!
These proposed lists always just seem to be whoever has been linked with us on twitter the last couple of weeks. Rarely turns out that way
Bale, Griezmann, Fabinho, Keane & Mendy.
About 250mish for that lot, minus whatever we make from sales.
