It's in Jorge Mendes' hands now? That's what Google Translate tells me.
Translation ?
Is Mendes hired to do the negotiating for us now? 
Embolo doesnt get me excited, i dont see anything in Embolo that I see in Rashford. Anyway hes a striker that can play on the wing but i thought we were only getting one striker because of Ibra...
If he's instead of Ibra ill be so mad.

Thanks. And Clot ?
Wtf?!I have only ever seen him in the euros. He hasnt looked any worse than zlatan.
Hard to judge based on these tournaments
Jorge Mendes to be tribal witchdoctor in Embolo's medical?
Nothing new about Julian, it seems. :^(
It's not the first time Mendes will represent the club in negotiations. He represented the club for Di Maria and Martial negotiations. Woodward seems to trust him.Is Mendes hired to do the negotiating for us now?
If we get him, surely we'd be loaning him out. I can't see him getting much game time. Especially considering we've got Rashford who's younger and has impressed much more lately.
Here is the translated version of the article.
Not sure he would be competing with Rashford since he mainly plays on the right.
I hope so but i dont like the Chelsea idea of buying talent then loaning to other teams but dont go on to do anything.
Loaning him out? There are enough games next season. He will get game time. He's young and raw, but I would trust him in the first team. Not as a full time starter though unless he really excels.
It's not that we have a pacey and strong RW who can beat his man. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It looks like we're signing Ounas though. If we also sign Embolo we have - Embolo, Rashford, Januzaj, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan, Ounas, Martial, Depay all competing in attack which is overkill.
Not really. 4 positions, each with a starter each with a back up?
Hmm well it looks like we're going to buy a player like Mkhitariyan who'll be first choice on the RW. And then I'd say Lingard and Rashford would be better options than Embolo there. So I just don't see it personally. Ofc I've not seen Embolo, bar some champions league games last season, youtube videos and his cameos in the Euros games so far, to judge accurately.
Haven't been impressed with Embolo at the Euros, but then again, you can't really make assumptions based on a couple of cameos.
Don't think we need him for the striker's position, but if he can play on the right as some guys are saying, then I'm all for it.
I really like the team we seem to be building with exciting young players and I also like the fact Mourinho is obviously addressing the "physicality" issue in our squad by signing Bailly and now probably Ibra and Embolo as well.

Better as a striker imo. Kind of similar to playing Lukaku on the wing.
My point was he plays more on the right for his club
Admire how clubs like Barca make an offer and then swiftly close the deal, in our case we make a bid it gets rejected and then we try again and then another club swoops in and buys the player.
Like what we did with Bailey you mean?
It helps when you're willing to commit fraud to make sure you can sign players (that and taking blood money from Qatar)
Wow, I didn't know that. So his ties to the club/area are more deep-seated than the usual.
Thanks for that info, certain things make more sense now.
What do you expect when the top clubs in Spain are financially supported by their government.
BVB want Schurrle if Mkhitaryan leaves
Good. If they are already looking for options, then they aren't confident of keeping him.
The Gary Bailey transfer was a long long time ago
That's not officiall though. If we use that criteria then United have made 100 bids for players this summer according to the press.
This has got to be some sort of wind up surely
Javier Hernandez - £7m
But he was playing in Mexico, there is a difference in transfer fee's between the clubs in Europe and others.
We sold him to Leverkusen for £7.3million.
