Prefer loan deal.
They signed Kingsley Coman recently in a similar sounding deal. Did Juventus not rate Coman? Or does a player sometimes want to leave for one reason or the other (maybe promises were broken, doesn't like living in München etc). In a situation where you've got an unhappy player that wasn't involved a lot with the first team, why not loan him out?
Milan are buying everything they can. They don't care about money these days, only care about being good again.
Agreed! They've realized the longer he stays with them and doesn't play the less they'll be able to recoup.
Its true that he doesn't have any affiliation to the club but neither did any of the players you mentioned except for Kimmich and yet they were all given time. Bayern knew Renato was a long term project due to his lack of first team experience. I can see the comparison to Henry, in the sense that he's a flop at Bayern and they want to get their money back while he has some value. Loan w/ option to buy would be the safest choice for United and who knows maybe under Jose he'll come good.
That's how I feel. We weren't good enough for him, but now some want us to rescue his career. Why are we scrabbling about for players? That's what I want to know. Where is all this money we supposedly have?
Can't blame the kid for choosing Bayern over us. Most players would have.
Of course not, but the comments he made, and him not realising that he is nowhere near goos enough to get a place there, makes me actively wanting him not to be in Manchester (can go and stink up City if he wishes).
I still say Ed doesn't know what he's doing re transfers. I know people will point to some big transfers recently but I honestly think they were down to Raiola sorting those moves and all Ed had to do was say "yes please" and write the required cheques.
He's a young teenager who may have made the wrong decision. If Jose Mourinho still thinks he has the potential to be a Seedorf or Davids level player, like people were hyping him up last year, we would be stupid to pass on him.
Think that sentiment is quite fair too.
That's why we need a DoF.
Maybe not, but this is am important year for us and not the time to be trying experiments. We need quality and experience. Not let's just see if this kid is any good. Unless we are going to be a Sevilla, who get into the CL then drop into the EL continuously. After the BFS waste of time I am not wanting to help Bayern out particularly.
I'm not saying that. Jose has drawn up the list of players, Ed seems to be struggling to deliver them in a timely way. Pre season is nearly over and the team is not in much better shape than it was last season.
I would not be averse to having him as long as they also sign a Carrick replacement. If they are going to do it on the cheap by getting this lad I will not be happy. Not while City and Chelsea are strengthening with quality. Conte supposedly wants four more players and might just get them.
Pretty sure it would add up to 59m in the end. I'm also assuming this is Euro's. But, I'd absolutely make that gamble. 14m to get a guy who was this highly regarded only a year ago with an option to buy at 45m if he works out sounds fine. We are talking about a marketplace where we just saw two full-backs go for close to 50 pounds million each and good mid-table players are being quoted at 45m pounds.
Actually watching players play, rather than rating them on the basis of video games, I would imagine.
If having done so the only players they can suggest are Matic, perisic and dier, then you have to fear the worst.
It's a good thing that we have no idea who they have recommended, then, isn't it? Unless you choose to believe what the media report. The same media that links us to 100 players a year.
Of the 100 they're only concrete links we have had, would be shocked if we signed anyone else.
