I get where you're coming from, but I wouldn't entirely agree. Obviously Dybala will look better in a team with lots of movement beyond him, but he does have two or three special qualities that make him a top player in any team. His close control, ability to beat players in tight areas, and ability to score from distance mean he is one of those few players who can genuinely create something out of nothing. He probably won't be a consistent "game changer" as you put it, but he will be able to produce moments of magic that will win games for us, which is not something you could say of any other player we have bar maybe Pogba.

The marauding Rojo
Yep he could be his bodyguard. Should take a pay cut though if that will be his only role.And how do you know it was a scouser who broke into his house
If you think the issue is his nationality, you've totally misunderstood the concern. JSV and Tevez aren't being brought up, for instance.
The actual issue is Dybala's desire to join United. Di Maria's name would still be brought up even if Dybala was Scottish.
Cheers for sharing that. Hopefully it's true.
I’m looking at this positively, if he was going to flat out reject us we’d know by now, everything points to him negotiating a contract with us which I’m sure we’ll come to an agreement.
That's already been reported here via twatter.
Mental. Dybala has been a consistently top player for 3 straight seasons; had a tough year last season after being shoved out on the wing to accomodate Ronaldo.
I love Gomes and I think he will be a top player, but he's an 18 year old kid. To say he's better than Dybala...
Also this "he's Argentinian so he won't be good for us" narrative needs to stop.
You're reshaping the narrative a bit here. Go back and watch Di Maria's first 10 or so games for us. He's amazing. And he looks absolutely pumped every time he scores. Things changed a bit after his house was broken into and his family wasn't happy, but the idea that he was never bothered and hated being here from the start is a bit of a myth.
Also don't understand the hate for him around here. He wasn't happy, it didn't work out so he moved on. These people are human beings, and England isn't for everyone.
I’m starting to feel like this too, if he’s listening to us this long you’d think we must be close. I just genuinely really want to believe in this ridiculous transfer.
Di Maria was majestic for us when he first came here. He even ended the season still being our top assist maker. Vangle was entirely the wrong sort of manager for a player like him.
That being said, many players have been pushed out of clubs and went on to be great at other clubs. Not every one of them is going to be Di Maria, and as a fan base it’s time we let that go.
I reckon just before the community shield, we'll make the official announcement/unveiling of Maguire on social media.
Then straight after the game, we'll brief to the journos that Dybala has agreed terms.

I don't know how to share tweets?
Seen a photo tweeted with Dybala outside MUTV.

I would really like it happen before deadline day but I think from where we are now. I would be happy just to get the deal done
Muppets frothing at the mouth now and hating you for dangling this in front of their faces without the actual tweet
Fake. Nothing on Norwood's twitter.
It's a fake account mate. Check his followers.

Fake account. Google craig norwood. His real twitter account has 224k followers.
Terrible photoshop.

Don't post fake crap man. So obvious!

This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
If we get this deal done wonder how long it will take him to get match ready as he’s not even returned to training yet for Juventus. Reckon it would be a while until he is playing.
I don’t think you need to go that deep in analysis, what the feck would he have his wash bag in MUTV with him for
.So far we have:
1. We signing a Di Maria
2. Manchester is/or is not a shitehole and there are lots of folks who have seen wonders of the world.
3. We are forcing him to move here because he is sad.
4. Sarri likes to smoke
5. Do not want because 'where will he fit' and his Argentinian, did I mention Di Maria?
6. Lukaku loves Con....I mean,...well enough said.
7. Ed is a legendary asshole.
Miss anything?

Why go to the extent to build a fake profile to then post that picture!!

I was quoting a meme.
«Fake account» Well, no shit lads!
Well, no shit lads!They wouldn't go as far as trying to agree personal terms with Lukaku if that was the case, which is definitely happening. Spiting Inter Milan is just a bonus for Juventus in this situation.
Just relax, we'll find out early next week. There's a lot to iron out.

Just wandering about the training complex all on his own on Sunday morning, in the apparently clear sunshine. Seems plausible to me.
Yeah, the bit on lack of physicality from Berbatov was great too. Also, the barber leaks.
Honestly I have a bad feeling about the Dybala transfer. Obviously the potential upside is huge, as on his day the lad is a world class player and could be perfect in United's attack.
That being said, I am worried. From everything the press are saying, Dybala isn't super into moving away from Juventus, not super into the EPL, and especially not super into playing for United. Because of this he is asking for Sanchez level wages, perfectly understandably from his perspective. If it doesn't work out, United will be stuck with two players on insane wages they'll never be able to shift. I have more faith in Ole than I ever did in Jose, so if he thinks Dybala would work and is a player he could use, then I have to have hope as well... but I'm still worried.

Worse photoshop I’ve seen in a long time.
I could definitely see him featuring in the Wolves game on the Monday night. Obviously won't make the Chelsea one.
That photo shop
Yeah Dybala is just wandering around Carrington on his own

Oh, absolutely. I mean we are talking about the player who at the peak of his powers at Juventus thought to be a legitimate heir of Messi. His ability to hurt you if you just allow him a little space around penalty area is what very few players can offer on top of being creative spark.
But, sell Pogba and ask for him to come deep, create and score (same as we did with Pogba ironically) and you'll see half of player. Stick him to RW and people will again start asking questions why is not working. In that sense, he needs a functioning team and one who will play to his strengths.
It is a bit of a moot point from my side as you can say that for most of the players, but I feel like people here constantly expect some sort of Messaih type of player who will elevate us on his own and solve all our problems. He is not that, but more of a step in the right direction. A big step as he is a great player.

Isn't that the colour scheme for 'Ones to Watch' cards? They give those cards to players who just transfered & they improve the card rating based on performances at their new club.This one?
Looks pink
Edit: Nvm, seen a picture with Van Dijk on this background & I doubt he's about to transfer
