If we could get value for money, maybe 30/35 milion he might be worth the punt. Hes decent.
Lucas Moura?

No I meant what's an attacking full back
It's 4:44am here, so not sure if your joking or my grasp of English has gone.
I was joking. It's been so long since we have had an attacking full back overlapping or whipping crosses in I forgot what one was.
Wtf are you still doing up. Go to bed man!
I wake up early, I've got a 3 year old who wakes up around this time (she called out just after I posted). I like to have a read of the caf and a coffee to prepare myself for her!
I see that he had improved his
Maybe not but who cares.
The new Tony V. If Maureen sees it that way, he is a geniusNo I meant what's an attacking full back
Maybe not but who cares.
He looks like falling down every time he dribbles with the ball, then somehow manages to maintain his balance after sorting his feet out
I agree. Whenever I have seen him he has half impressed me, really quick and good running with the ball....but there just seems to be something missing for me that makes him a real stand out player. Would hardly be a bad signing and think he woul dod well in the premiership, the fact he went to PSG over ourselves while Fergie was still in charge is enough for a no thanks from me though. I feel Mourinho is intent on a proven world class decisive attacking player be it Griezman, bale, Neymar to change the outcome in the final third he has bemoaned on several occasions this season, cant see him going for a Costa or Moura who have all the talent in the world but lack perhaps the end product. Lozano seemed a good option of that type of player, looks like he is off to Celta Vigo though, shame, would have like dus to take a chance on him
Bloody hell. It's tough but the only thing that's worth it mate. Stay strong
Only way you can be. In 30 minutes time I'll have a hyper toddler, crying baby, frantic wife and dog stood by the door waiting for a shit.

Just be glad it's the dog waiting
Can anyone tell me how fast he is? Could he be in a final against the fastest 100m runners in an olympic competition?
Fast but not quite rapid
Young Brazilian players can't really choose the european clubs they will sign.
The players have many "investors" that see the footballers as a commodity and they will pick the best offer of course.
It was a terrible move going to PSG.
PSG is not a club for a player to develop, its a club for players that already are an end product.

We dont need to be taking punts. We have the cash, the manager and the UCL. Get the real deal, not this asda own brand
I agree he's a better dribbler, frustrating is a good word to describe him overall, similar to Nani in that regard. The biggest problem is that he's a right winger and we need someone for the left if Griezmann is actually coming.
Depends whether Mourinho thinks like you.
You mean Griezmann playing as a SS with Pogba being turned into half the player he could be?
I honestly think that's what is going to happen, even if you don't like it. I can completely understand your viewpoint on Pogba's position, but he's also been good in a midfield 2. We could switch to the 4-3-3 in big games.
It depends what Mourinho asked for and wants to play next year. He might have asked for Griezmann, a speedy winger, a CM (let's say Bakayako because the MEN wrote about it today but really just to give an idea of what we'd look like), an LCB and a LB and want this as the first choice team:
-------------Griezmann/Rashford-------
Mkhitaryan/Martial---------Lucas/Mata
------Pogba/Fellaini---Bakayoko/Pereira-----
--------------Herrera/Carrick----------
with the main option against weaker teams at home or when we need goals being something like this:
-------------Rashford/Martial-----------
-------------Griezmann/Mata-----------
Mkhitaryan/Lingard---------Lucas/Mata
----Pogba/Fellaini-Herrera/Bakayoko-
People will insist Mourinho wants a proper target man up top but maybe he thinks Griezmann is a striker and that his quickness and skill will give him the ability to hold up the ball despite not being the type to win headers, and that Griezmann's finishing, creativity and ability to get in behind center backs on the break will make up for that.
Or maybe Mata will leave and we'll sign a RW and a 9 in addition to Griezmann, and an LB and a CM and maybe a CB and that's 5-6 signings, which seems plausible enough.
Who's the better player currently? Douglas Costa or Moura? I think both are available if Jose wants either one of them
Anyone remember when some were saying he's more talented then Neymar?
Probably worth noting he's improved his goalscoring rate every season he's been at PSG:
0 in 15
5 in 52
8 in 45
13 in 55
19 in 52
0 in 15
5 in 52
8 in 45
13 in 55
19 in 52
Neither is impressive, but will give slight edge to Moura
Pogba is supremely talented, he can do a job in a 2 man midfield but we'll only scratch the surface of what he could be, to me it's ludicrous to spend £89M on a player just to change his primary role to shoehorn someone else in.
This guy has regressed a lot since he opted against signing for us, I'd welcome him here though. Class player who can go past players are what we should target.
Buying Moura is like buying a Golf GTI, when you really want an RS3.
I am 99% certain Jose wont use Griezmann or Rashford as the main #9, those line-ups just look so unbalanced to me.
And that's your opinion, Mourinho might see it differently. What if we can't get the holding midfielder we need for Pogba? What then? Weigl, injured and at this moment in time seemingly not available. Fabinho going to City, if the rumours are to believed. Paredes now being linked with Juventus. Who do you go for then?
If we're going to sign a proper 9, then yeah, signing a RW who isn't Messi is probably a bad idea.
Can play on both wings, But aint a player who could make us a Ucl contender.
That's just not true and a myth that needs to go away. Even at his worst he was producing decent numbers for PSG. This season he's been very good.
In fairness everything we have seen for several years of top level competetive football shows Pogba is best in a 3 man midfield, Jose wanting to do otherwise just comes from the lazy sterotype of Pogba being a big lad so he must be able to play as a full CM in a 2. Well the holding CM situation needs resolving whether Pogba is in a 2 or a 3.
Yep, if of course Griezmann does come, if he doesn't then it opens up other options.
No Option but to get dier,or someone like william carvalho,Their aint much on the market. And why the hell every one is city bound.
He's poor on the left though, he's more of a pure winger and is at his best on his strongest side, not cutting in.
Can't say either is worth it or an upgrade on what Herrera can do in the position.
Or strootman
I'd rather Willian was brought in
I like him, but injuries are a concern.
Obviously Chelsea are desperate to sell.
Jose knows how to make Willian good, so that would be more safe.. But if not available, Moura seems a decent shot. Would love to see us having some more flair players
