Jen is being loaned back for a season, so he won’t have much of an impact this season anyway.
On the BBC so as good as for me.
Thought a while back that we probably see him on below Pogba's current wage or in and around it. I didn't think we were ever going to crazy for him. He wanted compensating for coming and we weren't willing to pay such wages.

It's a joke. That guy used to post here, until he got hired by JOE.
This pride thing with United is stupid. World class players do not want to go to a team not in the UCL.
Dybala is at stage where he feels unwanted but also wants autonomy in his decision, and so it would be natural to resist an prospect where his future is not in his hands.
Furthermore, it's hypocritical to keep Pogba who said a few ago that he wants a "new challenge" but then feed news of only wanting players who want to play for United.

He's seen as very promising but not sure how that helps their current defensive needs
He currently earns 6.5m per year, we offered him 11m that is almost 70% increase on his current wage. If he wants more money than that then why am I wrong to call him a mercenary? If everyone is looking for best deal possible is not called a mercenary than the term shouldn't even exist for this sport.
I know this is likely dead and buried now, but a little bit of me thinks it's not over just yet, and after training tomorrow things will heat up again.
To be fair, i'd like it if we had a nice offer for Lukaku overnight and accepted it meaning this was over for good.
Yeap that's what it looks like to me also and Im ok about it.
Wow... some 'fans' on here really take pleasure in seeing us getting done over by greedy footballers over and over and over again.
It's beyond masochism.

But what are we to do with a striker with half a brain?
He was a Woodward fascination all along to get a good deal out of selling Lukaku all along. We have a bunch of no 10 including pogba who can play 10. Why will the manager disturb the balance and dynamics of the whole squad by signing a 10.
What kind answer is that, a mercenary would mean that he lacks ethics and put money above everything else.
You would think if it’s a tactic by United they wouldn’t have mentioned anything (if they even have) about questions over his desires to join United. Because let’s just say that there is a turnaround and he’s told by Juventus he has no future there and United are his only choice. Really crews up the perception of his arrival.
Anyway if he isn’t interested we move to the Kai Havertz thread. Get on it Ed.

We're definitely not light years behind Chelsea in terms of goals and probably not Spurs either. Chelsea have even less proven goalscorer than us. Spurs have Kane and Song but not many goals come from elsewhere.
I think at a push you get 40-50 goals from Rashford and Martial, but then you're still relying on a LOT of goals from elsewhere and I just don't see it, even if James and Greenwood both have good seasons, and Sanchez, Lingard, Mata etc. chip in, it's still pushing it. Ole seems to overate our attacking players.
Midfield is just weird as we obviously need someone there. We're relying on Mctominay and Fred to step up massively just to have decent options.
I don't think it'll necessarily be a slog if we play a better brand of football. I think Bissaka and Maguire can potentially make a big difference....but we're looking at competing for 4th. That's always been the reality after the mess Woodward and co created last season.
Yeah, I mean they still have to use Mustafi and they have all of the Konscielny drama.
Exactly
Which is why I'm laughing at people saying us pulling the plug proves that we have learned lessons as a club
The very fact we have got sucked in shows that are still run by the same stupid guiding principles
It also sends the message that we’re not willing to pay the going rate for top players
Dangerous game to play, you don’t improve by signing players based on how eager they are to play for the club, the only way we get back to where we belong is buying players of the quality of dybala,
That seems to be coming from United fans, or journos adding their opinion to it. The official line from Ducker/Stone is that we've ended our interest due to his demands. I dont think Woody cares that much about a players desire or we wouldn't have let this play out so long
Okay my definition for mercenary must be skewed. I meant that he only cares about money and has nothing to do with the club ala AdM. That's why I don't want him here anymore.
Another case of Ed wasting time on 'galactico' signings whilst some areas we seriously need to address are ignored and good quality suitable players missed out on.
Quicker we get a DOF the better we're becoming a laughing stock its same story every window - i.e. wasting half of it on players that are only coming for ridiculous amounts of £££ or just looking for a pay rise etc from their current club.
If the guy does actually come likely it'll be Di Maria all over again.. forget this and sign Longstaff and/or Fernandes - players in positions we need who actually want to come here ! Though its probably too late now we've wasted so much time on this none starter Sheesh !

He didn't want to come so he priced himself out.
And who told you that he only cares about money?
I forgot about Chelsea and agree they will struggle
Spurs have 50 goals guaranteed from Kane and Son, while Alli and Moura will both chip in with a good number.
I think it's a stretch to expect 40 from Rashford and Martial, neither have broken 20 in their careers so far
I think you're right — we will be floating somewhere between 4th and 6th, which means it's another season of not really progressing
I don't understand why we don't just sensibly address our problems and go after normal targets instead of these stupid galactico links
Could have demanded inter more and competed for pepe, but NaH .. we are a Disneyland , we need marketable headline making deals.
I thought it was obvious it was a joke.
Well if he is still not happy with a 70% hike than I'm pretty sure that he cares only about the money.
How do you know how much we actually offered and what he asked?
It's very frequently misattributed term.
Let's look at Dybala and his situation.
His club don't want him and he doesn't want to leave so when talking to any possible new club he's well within his right to ask for what he's worth. His current deal as you say is 6.5 Million a year, which was signed in 2013 (and extended in 2017) when he was around 20 year old. He is now 25 and approaching his peak years as a footballer. Him asking for 11 Million I don't think is totally unacceptable. Upon joining, He would instantly be one of our best players and I think he would be within his right to expect parity with our best players. If he stayed at Juventus he would be due a decent pay bump I would imagine so why wouldn't he expect that at United.
I agree with you there. I'd be curious to hear Ole's real thoughts on all of this.
Dybala will sign for us. He's got no other option!
We don’t need the best players to climb, we need good players willing to improve.
Look at Liverpool and Tottenham, made steady solid purchases that improved them and got much better. They didn’t need bale or dybala.
We need to aim for the next salah, eriksen, mane etc..
The trees outside his house are being replaced by dendroids as we speak.what next? Waking up with the horse head?
Glad we pulled out if he doesn’t want to be here.
Think we’ve genuinely called it a day while Juventus and Dybala’s agent still want it to happen for obvious reasons and the journos on Twitter are more than happy for it to rumble on.
This. I actually prefer number 2 of the two.
nice the club publicly called player and agent out
He can play golf with Bale
We walked away after a week, how were we sucked in?
If any CEO ever has the chance for a straight swap with Lukaku and Dybala and doesnt explore it then he should be fired on the spot quite frankly.
Its Juve that's made a balls of this, not United.
