This. Okay, your white text doesn't alter the fact I don't want him.
Radja Nainggolan
- Thread starter davidmichael
- Start date
Belgian players usually prefer playing in the premier league, hopefully Radja is one of them.
He loves italy and rejected chelsea and arsenal last year.
Although i like him, he is 29 and will need replacing soon after. I hope he is not the only midfielder we buy.
Assuming we got him and Fabinho, we'd have the best central midfield options in the league comfortably.
Morata, Nainggolan, Fabinho and CB would be a great window.

I think he could easily keep his current aggression and intensity up for about 2 or 3 more years. With his current abilities I think he could easily transition into a deep lying playmaker while also sheilding the back 4. Having said that, I don't think it's very likely he'll leave Italy.
Fabinho and Nainggolan would be insane, but where does Herrera fit in? Midfield three would surely be Fabinho-Nainggolan-Pogba?
I mean, yes Nainggolan is arguably better than Herrera, but we have more urgent concerns. Be very surprised if we're interested in both.
you'd be surprised. Its the goals that trump all
Blatantly smells of new contract related nonsense to me, time to pretty much forget this one and move on.
We need more depth if we are to play a 3 man midfield, otherwise it'll mean Fellaini and Carrick playing a lot more than they should be.
can someone who knows italian check their forums to see what is their view on him leaving?
I mean, it reeks of new contract posturing but with a new Director in charge, he may just see this as an opportunity to cash in at the right time

He's almost certainly just angling for a new contract but Herrera-Nainggolan-Pogba would be the most cnutish midfield that ever cunted and I would love it.
Not getting remotely wrappped up in this one. Reeks of a new improved contract, the man has stated on numerous occasions that he doesn't want to leave Italy.
Yep looking for a new contract this one.
Didn't know he was that good until seeing the video of his season earlier up in this thread. With him and Herrera in the same midfield opposition players' ankles would be getting battered every week.
United should take a stand and say that we aren't interested. Obviously he's after a new contract, so piss on his parade and say we aren't interested.
Have a word Marouane.
Italian here. Yes, it is contract related. But there's no guarantee roma will be able to give him what he wants, in which case, odds are he will be sold
Roma is tight with money. If they sell Salah they won't have to sell Radja and vice versa. I may be completely of the mark of course.
This is what a few shitty twitter accounts are claiming
Wants a fat new contract. He'd be a dream signing for me though.
He reminds me a lot of Rooney. If we sign him I hope he doesn't also experience a slight dip in form.
He is on 60k/week. If we are interested we would maybe double that.
I reckon if you'd left that post blank we'd still have got the message from your username.
30 years old..
We need to build a team not patch it up here and there.. Like him but for me he really doesn´t fit into our project.

We are playing CL footy next year. I get what you are saying but we can always bring in top quality for 2-3 seasons. Ibra obviously. Laurent Blanc was signed by Fergie at age 35.
As long as these older players are paired with younger projects it gives a good balance. I think thats why Nainngolan and Fabinho (23) make good sense as a double signing.
We already have tons of youth but we need some seasoned leaders still playing to a world class level. Carrick and Rooney obviously are not so there is a shortage.
Not been mentioned yet but he's using us for a shiny new contract.
Yes of course. But lets see how deep Roma dig into their pockets.
We offer them close to 50m for a 29 yo
And we offer him a 4 year contract at 130k/week
Lets see.
And who do you propose? There's not many 24-27 year old central midfielders as good as him. Mourinho historically has been one who prefers his average age on the older side.
And which project is this? First I've heard of one.
He wants 4.8m Euros/annum. That's about 90k a week. We can easily pay him 120-150k. Roma doesn't really want to pay that much and they'd be happy to flog him off to us, or to whoever stumps up the cash. However, they could offer him the salary increase in case Salah's move to Scouseland is confirmed soonish.
He's my dream signing. A midfield trio of Radja, Ander and Paul would be massive.
That's after tax. In Serie A wages are reported post tax.
3 million loan fee and then they paid 6 Million for 50% of his rights(co-ownership) and then 9 million to buy the other 50%. So total 18 Million.
Why are people so ageist on here?
No, he is in double that.
Vidal
we were all affected and have the emotional scaring from that saga. We need to do a caf "transfer muppets anonymous" therapy group thread.
Because they seem to think 30 is some sort of arbitrary cut off point where players are suddenly on the wane. Completely ignoring the fact that these days, most players at that age are at their peak and have a good few years left at the top level. Rooney is pretty much the player that springs into everyone's mind, but he's a prime example of how not to look after yourself properly if you're a professional athlete.
