Am I the only one who think that Pogba doesn't deserve even half of that number? Are we really going to pay that for him especially that we are also getting Mkhitaryan ?!!

The money means very little. Its about quality and we are desperate for that.
 
Scheniderlin leaving could possibly make way for Matic. Dont know how fans would react to that one if it went through.
 
No wonder Morata might stay at Madrid. All those links for a ridiculous price turned out to be Spanish nonsense.

Why can't we get deals done that quick, always seem to drag

Usually it's because you're paying closer attention to United transfers than other clubs. Batshuayi to Chelsea was first mentioned as a £31m transfer on the 8th of June. Nearly three weeks ago.

Seems unlikely he'd be having a medical tomorrow with Belgium having a quarter final to play on Friday.

It happens. He will have the medical in France. Just a quick one to get the deal done. He'll then have the proper on when he returns.

Well he´s only 18. Has apparentely played Hungarian and Slovakian league, but I´m not sure Dahoud will still be here, when Benes has adjusted to the Bundesliga. I sure hope so. Eberl has a great eye for talent, as long as it´s not Dutch strikers.

You think Dahoud will be sold within the next couple of summers? He's a hell of promising talent. Do you think you'll spend the rest of the Xhaka money?

Di Marzio jumping in.

If Conte is going to play the 3-5-2 then Batshuayi will be a decent option to partner Costa.

Because Chelsea officially signing somebody doesn't make a reporter as much money to write and print than simply linking United to a player does. Therefore you will always get more United stories than Chelsea ones and why it seems Chelsea sign players quickly while United's drag

And this isn't bitterness etc, it's just fact.

I'd guess Batshuayi will be Costa's replacement. Wouldn't be suprised to see Conte using Hazard in the Eder role.

Don't think there's any way we'd replace a seasoned, proven veteran like Costa with a relatively inexperienced kid.

That's true, but I just can't see Costa staying at Chelsea this summer, although the rumours about his potential return to Atletico have died out in recent times.

I think Hazard will get the AM role behind the 2 strikers, can't see Chelsea getting rid of Costa before they see if Conte can get him back on track.

Unless the stories about Costa being desperate to leave/return to Atletico this summer are true.

I don't see Atleti putting up the £40m or more it would take to sign him back and that's the only club he'd leave us for I would think. I believe he and Conte will get along very well and he'll be with us next season for sure.
 
He reminds me of the good (Swansea) version of Wilfried Bony.

With Pato, Falcao, and Remy all leaving we'll surely be signing at least 2 new strikers. This kid and one other.

Don't Conte play with 2 upfront? He's a good young player and should improve a lot in the future. I think he will be a good signing. Him and Costa will be a dangerous partnership

Where will Hazard play?

Since Bénes moved from Gyor to Žilina he really stepped up, Žilina have great coach who likes to develop young players and hopefully he will develop further at Mönchengladbach.

We (Slovakia) would love to have another great young player in our NT.

I don't think he's worth it either. Raiola is trying to blow up the price so he could get a big chunk of money.I would take a pass at those exaggerated figured just like Real have done.

I would say midfield is pretty important looking at the options we have in there.

Yes, midfield is definitely important but he is more of a half 8 and a half 10. We do have Januzaj, Mata, Rooney, Ander Herrera who can play as 10. What we currently need is a replacement for Carrick/Shweini and he is definitely not that player.

To play Pogba as CM, we need a world class midfielder alongside him who can hold his position, make interceptions and pass ahead and Pogba needs to be moderately bound to his role in the sense that he can't drift away from his position often or let the game pass him by (which happens pretty often with him). To play him as a 10, we need two midfielders behind him to clean up. Add to the fact that he will be competing against 4 players we already have. I really do not see the need to get him for 120m pounds right now.
