Callejon isn't all that, he'll have to fight for his place, and Reina is only a loan, besides I don't think he's that good anymore which is why Liverpool are trying to get rid. They've gone for Madrid rejects and a player who's unwanted at Liverpool, I prefer how Dortmund used their Götze money to replace him with Aubameyang (one of the best forwards in France and a potential Lewandowski replacement) and Mkhitaryan (very highly rated and young).
Marco Verratti

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
If we don't try that while faffing about with pipedreams I'll be disappointed. Get him and maybe a decent AN Other and we are flying.
Would be a fantastic signing for whichever club manages to get him. He's already brilliant, and he's just 20. Even if he doesn't develop further, which he will, he'll still walk into most teams in the world, he's that good. He has all the potential to be talked about in the same breath as Xavi and Pirlo in the future, he's that good.
Nah apparently it's just rumours leaked by his camp in an attempt to get an improved contract. No one truly believes he's going to leave. I'd cool down the talks about him being as good as Xavi and Pirlo, but yeah he's a very good player.
Indeed, all lead by a very greedy agent.
Or a player who thinks he's worth a bit more given the money some of his team mates will be on.
Fair play to the kid, he's performed so why not try and get a pay rise?
Because it's only been one season, I find it a bit too much to ask for an immediate pay rise after one season. The PSG directors aren't fools, they know Verrati creates interest from other clubs, they will have given him the pay rise (improved contract) anyway.
You might feel differently if you were him. These lads have short careers, some too short so its only sensible to try and get what you can while your stock is high. I have no problem with players who are doing the business wanting to get what they're worth - because the clubs make plenty of the backs of the players and are quick to try and shaft them when they're not needed any more.
That's the thing though, how does one player judge how much he's really worth in terms of wages ? Where is his limit ?
he might use his teammates as a point of reference or the wages offered to him by other clubs. Basically it s a free market out there
Allegedly handed in a transfer request. I'm sure Moyes won't want someone who isn't "Premier League proven" though so we won't even bother. 
Juventus will inevitably be in for him.

And it'll be another good player that we'll have overlooked. Not having a go at Moyes here either - the midfield issue has been a joke for a long time.
Apparently the dispute boils down to him wanting 3-4M euros a year. Is that net or gross? 70K a year doesn't look like something PSG should be playing hardball over. In a World Cup year, I wonder what would be more attractive: week-in-week out Serie A at Juve but not necessarily playing, or starting for United in another league. The former is reminiscent of Thiago being behind Xavi in the Spain pecking order.

Is there any semi-reliable source reporting this? All I've seen is a goal.com article and a load of Twitter bollocks.
There's also a Liverpool forum posting the news and with everyone on there convinced he has done it because he wants to go join Benítez at Napoli.
This guy would be great for us.
My muppet signing. I think he would be perfect for us. He's gonna develop into a world class player.
He's no Fabregas but he's a step to the right direction. Players like Verratti, Gundogan, Erikkson and Ander Herrera are gettable players which will improve us
I've forgot about Herrera. The hypemachine hasn't been at work this season as much as the last.
Gundogan's unattainable and Eriksson won't improve us plus he's not a midfielder.

Will follow Ancelotti to Real.
Yes everyone who performs well for one year should get a huge pay rise. Absolutely fair play to him! He has huge potential. He is 20 years old. He has loads of time to earn money. He has to be consistent first and prove himself on the pitch.
Will follow Ancelotti to Real.
That was indeed doing the rounds when Ancelotti to Real happened. It's the only scenario where I think Modric may be on.
I don't think 3M a year is an outlandish demand when his club have been chucking money around for fun
What if he gets hurt tomorrow and never plays again? If he can agree on a wage with his club, good for him.
Tough luck, worse things happen in life. If he wants more money then he should say it so, "I don't think I'm paid enough".
Will follow Ancelotti to Real.
They have signed that Illaramendi guy though, don't they play similar positions?
Seems to be a lot of stories about this guy today, Fiorentina want him back apparently.
Isn't the window closed now though

Imagine this place if we ever let Verratti go to Fiorentina without making a move to sign him... 
Overrated
Verratti has done really, really well when I have seen him play. I know competition is pretty fierce at PSG and Matuidi had a very good season, but he really ought to be getting chances there.
Along with Pogba and Thiago, the best central midfield prospect in the world. No way would PSG let him go, unless it's in exchange for Pogba.
Muppet suicide watch if that happens
Pffft do keep up.....Quintero is the new Verratti
Messi is a bloody hard player to tackle without fouling. Verratti did it thrice yesterday.
One of my favourite players to watch. His self-belief is ridiculous.
buy him LvG. Throw 100m at them.
Verratti is awesome. Shame we missed it on buying him.
Excellent little player. I stress the little.
