Marco Verratti

I don't think we will get him or Verratti wants to leave PSG but Nasser Al-Khelaifi has also said just a few weeks ago "Blanc will be to 100% our coach next season".
we lack speed, power and height in midfield and we break the bank for a 5 ft 5, averaged paced player whose game is on the ball skill and game reading based, whilst Mourinho is our manager? I doubt it.
Fabregas, Modric were not quick either, he always has a midfielder in there who is technically very good to try and control the game, pick the passes. Added to that Veratti is a terrier who loves a tackle I think Mourinho would really like him yes.
did modric actually play that much? Didn't he almost always play khedira?

Verratti is the best young midfielder in the world. If he can avoid injury in the future, I think he might go down as one of the top ten of all time. He's just superb.
True. Khedira-Alonso were Mourinho's preferred midfield 2. The only time I remember him opting for Modric over Khedira in a big game was vs Dortmund in the 2nd leg to combat them shadowing Alonso as they did in the 1st leg.
Modric did not have a good debut season at Madrid. I'm pretty sure Marca had something about him being the worst Real Madrid transfer ever. Something in that regard.
Yeah, sure.

Not to play alongside the rest of our current midfield. He always had one with brawn, speed and power, next to one with skill. Thus unless he views Schneiderlon sufficient for this tax. I don't see this happening. Its not that Mourinho wouldn't like Veratti. Its just he wouldn't see him as what is lacked by us currently.
The best player with Italy yesterday.
He and Marchisio were huge losses for Italy at the euros.
My inner muppet got a tad excited when I saw this thread bumped, assuming we had been linked with him...
Unless he really forces his way out I can't see him going anywhere anyway.
No idea who his agent is, but if it's one of our boys (Mendes or Raoila), then we may have an outside chance when the time comes.

Donato Di Campli
He looks like a butch lesbian here.
feck sake. 
thought I was about to read "PSG announce agreement for sale of Verratti to MUFC June 2017"

So you want Pogba to be the water carrier in that midfield? Yes, Verratti is pretty aggressive, yet he's leaving most of the ball winning responsibilties to guys like Matuidi.
Pogba/Verratti would only work in a 433, not in Mou's preferred 4231.
Why the hell are you mentioning Pogba. The post was written way before we signed him

Sorry mate, didn't look at the date. I just assumed if it's on the last page it must be somewhat recent
Where have to remember our past!

So Tony Soprano has now expanded his business from leading the New Jersey mob to being Verratti's agent!
Just some speculating I guess...but interesting for all the muppets for sure!

Carrick replacement
The best young centre mid on the world. Great if we could sign him but I doubt it would happen as he seems perfect for Barca.
Sounds like a job for Agent Zlatan.

If he ever leaves Real Madrid will push hard for him. Even Barca will go all in I guess.
The price automatically excludes Juve and Milan.

Fixed
It would be incredible to have him in the same midfield as Pogba.
He would win cl here
Another contract renewal? He gets them on a half a year basis currently.
Verratti's best friend is Zlatan, right?
It does? Did you not see what Juve dropped on Higuain this summer?
That was after getting a huge payout from us. Verratti will be a 100m euros player, and there is no way they spend that without selling.
Wetstop it you dirty girl
Miki-Rashford-Martial up top.
Style wise he'd be a good foil for Pogba.
Plus, he's brilliant.

Does he actually play as #6 or as #8 for PSG?
